Up-regulated aldo-ketoreductase1B10 in chronic hepatitis C: Association with serum alpha-fetoprotein and hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT: We attempted to identify a specific gene expression signature by performing microarray analysis on the livers of patients with chronic hepatitis C and AFP elevation. Distinct hepatic gene expression patterns were demonstrated between patients with elevated AFP (≥10ng/mL) and normal AFP (<10ng/mL). Among the 30,150 valid genes, 627 were identified as differentially expressed genes with a minimal fold change of 2.0. Using these 627 genes, PCA and HCA were used to successfully distinguish samples according to their AFP status. Of the 627 differently expressed genes, AKR1B10 was most abundantly expressed in patients with elevated AFP. AKR1B10 expression was validated by Real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemical study. Furthermore, a proportional correlation between AKR1B10 expression and serum AFP was demonstrated by regression analysis. A matched case-control study indicated that AKR1B10 up-regulation was an independent risk factor for HCC development. Liver tissues samples from 48 chronic hepatitis C patients were stratified by their serum AFP levels and analyzed for gene expression profiles. AKR1B10 was up-regulated in patients with chronic hepatitis C in association with serum AFP, and was an independent risk factor for HCC development.

Project description:In cancer management, early and accurate diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is important for enhancing survival rate of patients. Currently, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the only one biomarker for detection of HCC. However, serum AFP is not satisfactory for diagnosis of HCC due to its low accuracy (about 60-70%). In this study, we collected 109 serum samples (discovery set) from healthy control (HC) and patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis (LC) and HCC, and analyzed them with custom lncRNA microarray. Profiling analysis shows 181 differentially expressed lncRNAs between HCs and patients with CHB, LC and HCC. Then a 48-lncRNA diagnostic signature was identified with 100% predictive accuracy for all subjects in the discovery set. This diagnostic signature was verified with a cross-validation analysis in the discovery set. To further corroborate the signature, we gathered another 66 serum samples (validation set) and also analyzed them with microarray. The result indicates that the same signature has similar diagnostic accuracy for HC (100%), CHB (73%), LC (88%) and HCC (95%), implying a reproducible diagnostic biomarker for HCC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis exhibits that this signature has significantly higher diagnostic accuracy for HCC and non-cancerous subjects (area under curve [AUC]: 0.994) than AFP (AUC: 0.773) in the discovery set and this was also verified in the validation set (0.964 vs 0.792). More importantly, the signature detected small HCC (<3cm) with 100% (13/13) accuracy while AFP with only 61.5% (8/13). Altogether, this study demonstrates that the serum 48-lncRNA signature is not only a powerful and sensitive biomarker for diagnosis of HCC but also a potential biomarker for LC. ***************************************************************** Submitter declares these data are subject to patent number ZL 2016 1 0397094. *****************************************************************
