Project description:Chronic inflammation is a common underlying condition associated with tumor development, accounting for approximately 20% of human cancers. This association is especially apparent in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which often develops on the background of chronic hepatitis and hepatic fibrosis, slowly unfolding on a background of chronic inflammation. HCC is one of the most common tumors worldwide, exhibiting a very poor prognosis and high mortality rate with limited available therapeutic tools. The etiology of liver cancer is well known, however there is still a lack of precise knowledge about pathogenesis of HCC. IL-6 have been shown to be of importance for liver protection and prevention of liver injury in animal models of acute sclerosing cholangitis and correlate with increased HCC in human patients. Using a murine model of chronic cholangitis based on the ablation of the Mdr2 gene, this study has examined the role of IL-6 signaling in chronic hepatitis and in the subsequent development of liver cancer. The main observations of this study are that IL-6 signaling in male Mdr2-KO mice protects from the development of liver injury and fibrosis, but simultaneously promotes tumor initiation. Thus, IL-6 deficiency in male Mdr2-KO mice dissociates the tight correlation between liver fibrosis and the development of inflammation-associated HCC. To reveal the affected molecular pathways that lead to increased cholestasis and bile acid–induced liver injury, but reduced tumorigenesis in the male IL-6 deficient Mdr2-KO/IL6-KO mice, we performed gene array analysis and identified distinct classes of differentially-expressed genes in these mice. We performed genome-scale gene expression profiling by Affymetrix analysis on tumor-free livers samples from Mdr2-KO, Mdr2-KO/IL6-KO, and wild type C57BL/6 mice at the age of 14 months.

Project description:Chronic liver inflammation precedes the majority of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC). Here, we explore the connection between chronic inflammation and DNA methylation in the liver at the late precancerous stages of HCC development in Mdr2/Abcb4-knockout (Mdr2-KO) mice, a model of inflammation-mediated HCC. Using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) followed by hybridization with Agilent CpG Islands (CGIs) microarrays we found specific CGIs in 76 genes which were hypermethylated in the Mdr2-KO liver compared to age-matched controls. Methylation of thirty among these genes was highly specific to the studied HCC model. We revealed that in most tested cases, the observed hypermethylation resulted from an age-dependent decrease of methylation of the specific CGIs in control livers with no decrease in mutant mice. Chronic inflammation did not change global levels of DNA methylation in Mdr2-KO liver, but caused a 2-fold decrease of the global 5-hydroxymethylcytosine level in mutants compared to controls. This decrease could result from a less efficient age-dependent demethylation of specific CpG sites in the liver of Mdr2-KO mutants, as described above. Expression of some tested hypermethylated genes was increased in Mdr2-KO livers compared to controls (28%), others were either similarly expressed (44%), or not expressed in the liver (28%). Liver cell fractionation revealed, that the relative hypermethylation of specific CGIs in Mdr2-KO compared to control livers affected either hepatocyte, or non-hepatocyte, or both fractions. There was only episodic correlation between changes of gene methylation and expression in cell fractions. Conclusion: Chronic liver inflammation causes hypermethylation of specific CGIs, which may affect both hepatocytes and non-hepatocyte liver cells. These changes may serve as markers of an increased regenerative activity and of a precancerous microenvironment in the chronically inflamed liver.

Project description:Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is generally associated with good prognosis, nevertheless no effective treatments are available for aggressive forms not cured by current therapies. We previously identified the coatomer protein complex zeta 1 (COPZ1), as a new putative therapeutic target for TC, since its depletion impairs the viability of tumor cells, leads to abortive autophagy, ER stress, unfolded protein response and apoptosis, and reduces the tumor growth of TC xenograft models. In this study, by combining genomic, proteomic and functional approaches, we provided evidence that COPZ1 silencing stimulates a type I IFN-mediated viral mimicry response, boosts the production of several inflammatory molecules and finally induces immunogenic cell death, which, in turn, promotes dendritic cell maturation and subsequent activation of T cells. Collectively, our findings support the notion that COPZ1 targeting can be exploited as a new strategy to kill cancer cells with the subsequent involvement of an anti-tumor immune response.

Project description:Gene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood mononuclear cell mRNA samples collected from renal cell carcinoma patients. The primary research question is whether gene expression differs as a function of patient's level of depression as measured by CESD score > 16.
