Clinically Relevant Proteomic Signature in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients with Macrovascular Invasion

ABSTRACT: Vascular invasion is considered as the critical risk factors for tumor recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying macrovascular invasion (MaVI) and metastasis in HCC, we performed an iTRAQ based proteomic study to identify notably dysregulated proteins in 53 HCC patients with differential vascular invasion. In patients with MaVI, 47 proteins were significantly down-regulated in HCC tumor tissue. More importantly, 30 of them were not changed in HCC without MaVI. Gene ontology analysis of these 47 proteins shows the top 3 enriched pathways are urea cycle, gluconeogenesis and arginine biosynthetic process. We validated 9 remarkably dysregulated candidates in HCC patients with MaVI by Western blot, including 8 down-regulated proteins (CPS1, ASS1, ASL, ARG1, BHMT, DMGDH, Annexin A6 and CES1) and 1 up-regulated protein (CKAP4). Furthermore, dysregulation of CPS1, ASL and ARG1, key enzymes involved in urea cycle, together with Annexin A6 and CES1, major proteins in regulating cholesterol homeostasis and fatty acid ester metabolism were verified using immunohistochemical staining. The significant down-regulation of urea cycle generates clinically relevant proteomic signature in HCC patients with macrovascular invasion, which may provide possible insights into the molecular mechanisms of metastasis and new therapeutic targets of HCC.

Vascular invasion is considered as the critical risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying macrovascular invasion (MaVI) in HCC, we performed an iTRAQ based proteomic study to identify notably dysregulated proteins from eight HCC patients with differential vascular invasion and further confirmed them in the other 53 HCC patients. Forty-seven proteins were found significantly down-regulated in HCC with MaVI. More importantly, 30 of them were not c ...[more]

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the world. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play an essential role during cancer development. Phosphorylation is an important PTMs. To identify the modifications of phosphorylation in HCC, a multiplexed tandem mass tag (TMT) approach combined with LC−MS/MS was used. A total of 4,780 phosphorylated sites distributed on 2,209 proteins were identified and quantified, including 74 and 459 phosphorylated up-regulated and down-regulated proteins, respectively. Bio-informatic analysis revealed the differences and commonalities between HCC and normal tissues. Gene ontology enrichment analysis provided the information on biological processes, molecular functions, cellular components, and sub-cellular localizations. Protein domains enrichment of differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by InterPro database. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed the pathways that could potentially be involved in HCC. Integrative analysis of the functions, pathways, motifs of phosphorylated peptides, protein domains and protein interactions could establish a profile of phosphoproteome of HCC, which may contribute to identify new biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis for HCC and novel therapeutic targets for HCC treatment.Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in the world.
