Proteomics Study Reveals Involvement of Lysine Acetylation in Metabolic Disorder in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Protein lysine acetylation is a vital post-translational modification (PTM) that plays important roles in biological processes and human diseases. However, its potential roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development remain largely unknown. Here we performed a quantitative acetylome analysis of tumor and normal liver tissues from HCC patients. Overall, we identified 792 lysine acetylation sites in 415 proteins, and almost half of their acetylation levels were significantly changed in HCC tumor tissues. The acetylated proteins mainly consisted of metabolic enzymes, which was consistent with the subcellular location analysis that they were primarily located in mitochondria and cytoplasm. Consistently, Bioinformatics analysis showed that differently acetylated proteins were mainly involved in metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, fatty acid oxidation, and glutamine metabolism. Then we selected two down-regulated enzymes and verified their acetylation levels in HCC liver tissues. In addition, transcription factors and proteins associated with oxidative stress were identified with aberrant acetylation levels in HCC tumor tissues. Our findings illustrate abundant lysine acetylation sites in HCC liver tissues, which provides insight into the role of lysine acetylation in HCC development, and further contributes to possible implications for its use in diagnose and therapy in the future.

Lysine acetylation is a vital post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins, which plays an important role in cancer development. In healthy human liver tissues, multiple non-histone proteins were identified with acetylation modification, however, the role of acetylated proteins in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development remains largely unknown. Here we performed a quantitative acetylome study of tumor and normal liver tissues from HCC patients. Overall, 598 lysine acetylation sites in 32 ...[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.

Project description:Background/Aims: Recurrence-free survival (RFS) following curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in subjects with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is highly variable. Traditional clinico-pathological endpoints are recognized as weak predictors of RFS. It has been suggested that gene expression profiling of HCC and nontumoral liver tissue may improve prediction of RFS, aid in understanding of the underlying liver disease, and guide individualized therapy. The goal of this study was to create a gene expression predictor of HCC recurrence in subjects with HCV. Methods: Frozen samples of the tumors and nontumoral liver were obtained from 47 subjects with HCV-associated HCC. Additional nontumoral liver samples were obtained from HCV-free subjects with metastatic liver tumors. Gene expression profiling data was used to determine the molecular signature of HCV-associated HCC and to develop a predictor of RFS. Results: The molecular profile of the HCV-associated HCC confirmed central roles for MYC and TGF-beta1 in liver tumor development. Gene expression in tumors was found to have poor predictive power with regards to RFS, but analysis of nontumoral tissues yielded a strong predictor for RFS in late-recurring (>1 year) subjects. Importantly, nontumoral tissue-derived gene expression predictor of RFS was highly significant in both univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model analyses. Conclusions: Microarray analysis of the nontumoral tissues from subjects with HCV-associated HCC delivers novel molecular signatures of RFS, especially among the late-recurrence subjects. The gene expression signature of the predictor gives important insights into the pathobiology of HCC recurrence and used in design of the individualized therapy. 43 tumor (JT) and 44 non-tumor (JNT) liver tissues surgically resected from patients with HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma; 8 non-tumor liver tissues (control samples, JC) surgically resected from HCV- or HBV-free patients with metastatic liver tumor. Inter-batch normalization was carried out using Distance Weighted Discrimination procedure.
