Hepatocellular adenoma displaying a HNF1alpha inactivation in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis coli.

ABSTRACT: Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP) may rarely develop hepatocellular adenoma. Here we report the case of a 37-year-old FAP woman presenting a hepatocellular adenoma after oestroprogestative oral contraception use. In this steatotic adenoma, we identified an inactivating biallelic mutation of HNF1alpha. In addition to the known germline APC mutation Q1062fs, we did not find an inactivation of the second APC allele nor an activation of the beta-catenin target genes GLUL and GPR49. Our findings contrast with two hepatocellular adenoma cases related to FAP, for which a biallelic inactivation of the APC gene was previously described. Altogether, these results suggest that benign hepatocellular carcinogenesis may be dependent on or independent of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in patients with FAP.

Project description:ObjectivesDuodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) arises from adenomas. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the duodenal adenoma-carcinoma pathway have been identified in murine FAP models, but similar data in patients with FAP are limited. Identifying such changes may have significance in understanding duodenal polyposis therapies and identifying cancer biomarkers. We performed a genome-wide transcriptional analysis to describe the duodenal adenoma-carcinoma sequence and determine changes distinguishing patients with FAP with and without duodenal cancer.MethodsTranscriptional profiling was performed with the Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 on duodenal biopsies from 12 FAP patients with duodenal cancer (FAP cases) and 12 FAP patients without cancer (FAP controls). DEGs were compared between cancer-normal, adenoma-normal, and cancer-adenoma in FAP cases and between adenomas from FAP cases and FAP controls. Significant results at P < 0.05 were filtered using fold change > 2.ResultsTwo hundred twenty-four DEGs were identified at an absolute fold change > 2. In adenoma-normal, downregulation of DEGs involved in metabolism of brush border proteins (LCT), lipids (APOB/A4), reactive oxygen species (GSTA2), and retinol (RBP2) was observed. In the cancer-adenoma comparison, upregulation of DEGs involved in cell invasion/migration (POSTN, SPP1) and downregulation of DEGs involved in Paneth differentiation (DEFA5/6) were observed. In the adenoma-adenoma comparison, downregulation of several DEGs (CLCA1, ADH1C, ANXA10) in FAP case adenomas was observed. DEGs with therapeutic potential include SPP1, which is involved in both cyclooxygenase and epidermal growth factor receptor pathways targeted by the sulindac/erlotinib combination for duodenal polyposis.DiscussionWe describe DEGs in the human duodenal adenoma-carcinoma sequence in FAP, which may have prognostic and therapeutic significance. Validation studies are needed to confirm these findings.
