Liver epithelial cell-specific loss of mTOR aggravates tumor development in a murine model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis related hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Due to the global obesity epidemic the incidences of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and NASH-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are on the rise. Non-invasive treatment options for HCC are scarce and innovative therapy regimes are urgently needed. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is of fundamental importance for the regulation of cellular metabolism and mTOR pathway activation is frequently observed in HCCs. However, mTOR inhibition failed to benefit the clinical course of HCC patients, demonstrating the need for a better understanding of the molecular and functional consequences of blocking mTOR signaling in primary liver cancer. To address this, we established a tumor cell-specific inactivation of mTOR in a murine model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-driven HCC. After 30 weeks of diet, tumor, and liver volumes as well as whole body fat percentage were evaluated by non-invasive in vivo micro-computed tomography (µCT), and livers were collected for subsequent analyses. Unexpectedly, the tumor load exploded in mTORLEC livers and knock-out mice showed improved glucose tolerance among other signs of major metabolic alterations. Detailed proteome analysis indicated extensive changes in arachidonic and bile acid metabolism in the liver. The simulation of metformin intervention via kinetic modeling predicted the existence of a therapeutic window, in which the drug selectively targets mTORLEC HCC tissue.

Tid1 Deficiency Disrupting Mitochondria to Drive NASH-Dependent Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) is a significant risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, a preclinical model of progressive NAFLD/NASH is largely lacking. Here, we report that mice with hepatocyte-specific deletion of Tid1, encoding a mitochondrial cochaperone, tended to develop NASH-dependent HCC. Mice with hepatic Tid1 deficiency showed impairing mitochondrial function and causing fatty acid metabolic dysregulation; meanwhile, sequentially developed fatty liver, NASH, and cirrhosis/HCC in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced oxidative environment. The pathological signatures of human NASH, including cholesterol accumulation and activation of inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways, are also present in these mice. Clinically, low Tid1 expression was associated with unfavorable prognosis in patients with HCC. Empirically, hepatic Tid1 deficiency directly disrupts entire mitochondria that play a key role in the NASH-dependent HCC development. Overall, we established a new mouse model that develops NASH-dependent HCC and provides a promising approach to improve the treatment.

Gene expression profiles of livers and liver tumors from mice fed high-fat diet and high fructose-glucose solution for 52 weeks

Project description:The lack of a preclinical model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular cancer (HCC) that recapitulates human disease is a major barrier to therapeutic development. We report a high fat-high sugar diet-induced NASH and HCC in a stable isogenic 129S1/SvImJ crossed with C57Bl/6J mice. Following diet initiation, there was sequential development of steatosis (4-8 weeks), steatohepatitis with ballooning and Mallory-Denk bodies (12-16 weeks), progressive fibrosis (16 week onwards) and spontaneous HCC (32-52 weeks). The mice developed obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. There was concordance with the human NASH transcriptome (FDR 0.001) with activation of lipogenic, inflammatory and apoptotic pathways relevant in humans. The HCC gene signature resembled S1 and S2 human HCC subclass (FDR 0.01 for both). This simple model of NASH and HCC that resembles human disease in terms of its triggers, physiological and biochemical parameters, histology, transcriptomic profile, and outcomes can facilitate preclinical development for these conditions. 129S1/SvImJ;C57Bl/6J (129/B6) mice were fed with high-fat diet (Western Diet) and high fructose-glucose solution (Sugar Water) (WD SW) or chow diet (CD) for 52 weeks, and total RNA samples were isolated from liver and tumor tissues for genome-wide expression profiling.

miRNA expression profiles in the liver of a NASH-HCC model mice

Project description:To identify miRNAs that play important roles in the liver carcinogenesis from NASH, miRNA expression profiles were examined. Some miRNAs showed aberrant expression in HCC (Hepatocellular carcinoma) from NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis). These miRNAs were regulated by DNA methylation, and could be potential therapeutic targets for HCC (Hepatocellular carcinoma) from NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis).

Metabolomics and Lipidomics Screening Reveal Reprogrammed Signaling Pathways toward Cancer Development in Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is now considered the most common form of chronic liver disease. It is a complex metabolic disease that silently progresses into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In fact, NASH is the tipping point for pericellular fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite being a complex metabolic disease, identification of the metabolic readout that functions in metabolic pathway perpetuation for HCC progression from NASH is still incompletely understood. With the aid of LC MS/MS this study unveiled the metabolic fingerprint of NASH and HCC-NASH patients and it illustrates a detailed map for the most predominant reprogrammed metabolic pathways that target HCC development from NASH. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms24010210

Dietary cholesterol promotes fatty liver-associated liver cancer by inducing aberrant genomic expression and mutations

Hepatic transcriptomic changes during non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-associated liver carcinogenesis in mice

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which accounts for 90% of all primary livers tumors, is the fourth most common cancer in the world. The development of HCC is a long-term and complex process, and uncovering the molecular mechanisms associated with HCC development is critical for the disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Exploring these mechanisms using human HCC samples is desirable, but frequently impractical, with a number of limitations and shortcomings. The STAMTM (Stelic Institute & Co, Tokyo, Japan) mouse model of NASH-associated liver carcinogenesis is considered a useful and relevant model for investigating the molecular pathogenesis of NASH-derived HCC. This model resembles the human HCC development associated with progression from simple steatosis to NASH, fibrosis, and HCC. In the present study, by using high-throughput whole genome microarrays (SurePrint G3 Mouse Gene Expression v2, 8x60K; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA), we examined the transcriptomic profiles in the livers of STAMTM mice at different stages of liver carcinogenesis, including steatosis (6 week time interval), NASH (8 weeks), fibrotic stage (12 weeks), and in full-fledged HCC (20 weeks). The results of microarray analyses showed significant progressive changes in hepatic gene expression during the development of HCC. A total of 970, 1462, 2742, and 2857 of differentially expressed genes were identified in the livers at 6, 8, 12, and 20 weeks, respectively. Detailed analysis of these differentially expressed genes will benefit the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-derived HCC. Transcriptomic profile in the liver of STAM mice at 6 weeks (steatosis; n=3), 8 weeks (steatohepatitis; n=3) 12 weeks (fibrosis; n=4) and 20 weeks (HCC-stage tumor tissue, n=4) weeks. Age-matched control samples were also analyzed.
