Bioinformatics Analysis and RNA-Sequencing of SCAMP3 Expression and Correlated Gene Regulation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background:Secretory Carrier Membrane Proteins 3 (SCAMP3) is a transmembrane protein that affects intracellular trafficking, protein sorting and vesicle formation. Overexpression of SCAMP3 correlates with poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the expression and corresponding gene regulation of SCAMP3 in HCC remain unclear. Methods:Bioinformatics analyses of clinical parameters and survival data were conducted to predict the prognostic value of SCAMP3 in HCC. RNA sequencing and real-time PCR were conducted to confirm the SCAMP3 expression in HCC tissue. Expression was analyzed using OncomineTM and UALCAN, while SCAMP3 alterations and survival analysis were identified by cBioPortal. Differential gene expression with SCAMP3 was analyzed by LinkedOmics and GEPIA. The target networks of enzymes and co-transcriptional factors were identified using Gene enrichment analysis. Expression of SCAMP3 in HCC tissue was detected by RNA-sequencing and Western-blotting. Results:Based on bioinformatics analysis and detection of mRNA expression, SCAMP3 was over-expressed in numerous tumors, especially in HCC. SCAMP3 level was positively correlated with disease stages and tumor grades and negatively correlated with patient survival. Furthermore, functional network analysis indicated that SCAMP3 regulated metabolic process and DNA replication through oxidative phosphorylation and chromatin remodeling or Ribosome. SCAMP3 regulated a number of gene expressions including PPAP2B, SNRK, ARID4A, PRCC, VPS72 via protein binding and proteasome, which may affect cell adhesion, proliferation, transcription, cell cycle and metabolism. Further, Real-time PCR and Western-blotting showed that the SCAMP3 level was increased in HCC tissue. Conclusion:The present data analysis efficiently reveals information about SCAMP3 expression and correlated function in HCC, laying a foundation for further study of SCAMP3 in the tumor.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are differentially expressed in various cancer types. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and clinical implication of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to evaluate the potential of circRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for HCC. CircRNA expression was profiled in 19 patients with HCC and 19 normal controls using ribosomal RNA-depleted RNAs. Differentially expressed circRNAs (DE-circRNAs) between HCC and controls were identified using CIRI2 and distinct circRNA expression signatures were screened. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were used to predict the potential functions of these DE-circRNAs and the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks were then constructed. Several DE-circRNAs were selected and confirmed by RT-qPCR. A total of 40 DE-circRNAs (27 upregulated and 13 downregulated) were identified between patients with HCC and controls. Functional annotation indicated that these DE-circRNAs were involved in cellular components, molecular functions and cancer-associated pathways related to HCC. These included pathways in cancer, TNF signaling pathway, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and hepatocyte differentiation. The circRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was generated based on 11 candidate circRNAs. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that Homo sapiens (hsa)_circ_0073239, hsa_circ_007090, hsa_circ_0008304, hsa_circ_0017586, hsa_circ_0000369 and hsa_circ_0001181 may serve as potential biomarkers for HCC. Results from Cell Counting Kit-8 assay suggested that small interfering RNA targeting hsa_circ_0001181 reduced the proliferation of HepG2 cells, which implicated it as a potential therapeutic target for HCC. Therefore, in the present study, the differential expression pattern and important role of circRNAs in HCC were determined. The present results highlight the diagnostic potential of circRNAs in HCC and provide novel insight into the development of and treatment approaches for HCC.

Project description:Objective: The study aimed to elucidate the significance of CLEC4G, CAMK2β, SLC22A1, CBFA2T3, and STAB2 in the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and their associated molecular biological characteristics. Additionally, the research sought to identify new potential biomarkers with therapeutic and diagnostic relevance for clinical applications. Methods and Materials: We utilized a publicly available high throughput phosphoproteomics and proteomics data set of HCC to focus on the analysis of 12 downregulated phosphoproteins in HCC. Our approach integrates bioinformatic analysis with pathway analysis, encompassing gene ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, and the construction of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Results: In total, we quantified 11547 phosphorylation sites associated with 4043 phosphoproteins from a cohort of 159 HCC patients. Within this extensive data set, our specific focus was on 19 phosphorylation sites displaying significant downregulation (log2 FC ≤ -2 with p-values < 0.0001). Remarkably, our investigation revealed distinct pathways exhibiting differential regulation across multiple dimensions, including the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic levels. These pathways encompass a wide range of critical cellular processes, including cellular component organization, cell cycle control, signaling pathways, transcriptional and translational control, and metabolism. Furthermore, our bioinformatics analysis unveiled noteworthy insights into the subcellular localizations, biological processes, and molecular functions associated with these proteins and phosphoproteins. Within the context of the PPI network, we identified 12 key genes CLEC4G, STAB2, ADH1A, ADH1B, CAMK2B, ADH4, CHGB, PYGL, ADH1C, AKAP12, CBFA2T3, and SLC22A1 as the top highly interconnected hub genes. Conclusions: The findings related to CLEC4G, ADH1B, SLC22A1, CAMK2β, CBFA2T3, and STAB2 indicate their reduced expression in HCC, which is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Furthermore, the results of KEGG and GO pathway analyses suggest that these genes may impact liver cancer by engaging various targets and pathways, ultimately promoting the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. These results underscore the significant potential of CLEC4G, ADH1B, SLC22A1, CAMK2β, CBFA2T3, and STAB2 as key contributors to HCC development and advancement. This insight holds promise for identifying therapeutic targets and charting research avenues to enhance our understanding of the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying hepatocellular carcinoma.
