Impact of JMJD6 on intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

ABSTRACT: The association of Jumonji domain-containing 6 (JMJD6) with the prognosis of various types of cancer has been demonstrated, except in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). The present study aimed to clarify the impact of JMJD6 on ICC. The liver specimens of 51 patients who underwent surgery for ICC were analyzed for JMJD6 expression using immunohistochemistry staining. The relationship between clinicopathological factors and JMJD6 expression was investigated. The cellular activity was also evaluated in JMJD6 knocked down cells with Transwell migration assay and viability assay. In the immunohistochemistry staining of clinical samples, high expression of JMJD6 was seen in 32 of 51 samples. High expression was also associated with improved overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P=0.0033 and 0.048, respectively). Further analyses revealed that higher JMJD6 expression was one of the improved independent prognostic factors of OS and RFS. Expression of JMJD6 was knocked down in commercial culture cell lines of ICC, and RNA and protein were extracted to analyze the downstream gene expression using RNA-sequencing and western blotting. JMJD6 knockdown was associated with higher programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in RNA-sequencing and western blotting. In addition, PD-L1 expression was higher in JMJD6 low expression clinical samples when measured using immunohistochemistry staining. In conclusion, high expression of JMJD6 was an independent favorable prognostic factor of ICC. JMJD6 may influence the prognosis of ICC through the regulation of PD-L1 expression.

Project description:An American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA)-sponsored consensus meeting of expert panellists met on 15 January 2014 to review current evidence on the management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) in order to establish practice guidelines and to agree on consensus statements. The treatment of ICC requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to optimize survival. Biopsy is not necessary if the surgeon suspects ICC and is planning curative resection, although biopsy should be obtained before systemic or locoregional therapies are initiated. Assessment of resectability is best accomplished using cross-sectional imaging [computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)], but the role of positron emission tomography (PET) is unclear. Resectability in ICC is defined by the ability to completely remove the disease while leaving an adequate liver remnant. Extrahepatic disease, multiple bilobar or multicentric tumours, and lymph node metastases beyond the primary echelon are contraindications to resection. Regional lymphadenectomy should be considered a standard part of surgical therapy. In patients with high-risk features, the routine use of diagnostic laparoscopy is recommended. The preoperative diagnosis of combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) by imaging studies is extremely difficult. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment, but survival is worse than in HCC alone. There are no adequately powered, randomized Phase III trials that can provide definitive recommendations for adjuvant therapy for ICC. Patients with high-risk features (lymphovascular invasion, multicentricity or satellitosis, large tumours) should be encouraged to enrol in clinical trials and to consider adjuvant therapy. Cisplatin plus gemcitabine represents the standard-of-care, front-line systemic therapy for metastatic ICC. Genomic analyses of biliary cancers support the development of targeted therapeutic interventions.
