Whole-exome sequencing reveals the origin and evolution of Hepato-Cholangiocarcinoma

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (H-ChC) is a rare subtype of liver cancer with clinicopathological features of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). To date, molecular mechanisms underlying the co-existence of HCC and iCCA components in a single tumor remain elusive. Here we show that H-ChC samples contain substantial private mutations from WES analyses, ranging from 33.1% to 86.4%, indicative of substantive intratumor heterogeneity (ITH). However, on the other hand, numerous ubiquitous mutations shared by HCC and iCCA suggest the monoclonal origin of H-ChC. Mutated genes identify herein e.g. VCAN, ACVR2A and FCGBP are speculated to contribute to distinct differentiation of HCC and iCCA within H-ChC. Moreover, immunohistochemistry demonstrate that EpCAM is highly expressed in 80% of H-ChC implying the stemness of such liver cancer. In summary, our data highlight the monoclonal origin and stemness of H-ChC, as well as substantial intratumoral heterogeneity.

Identification of cholangiocarcinoma-like gene expression traits in hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:We performed gene expression profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma (CC), and mixed type of combined HCC and CC (CHC). In comparison of the profiles, a novel class of HCC expressing CC-like traits was identified. Gene expression profiling of 70 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 13 cholangiocarcinoma (CC), and 7 mixed type of combined HCC and CC (CHC) were performed.

Integrative Transcriptomic Profiling reveals Hepatic Stem-like Phenotype and Interplay of EMT and miR-200c in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma [miRNA]

Project description:We compared transcriptomic profiles of ICC tumor specimens to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens using Affymetrix mRNA array and the miRNA array platforms to search for unique gene signatures linked to patient prognosis. ICC and HCC share common stem-like molecular characteristics and stem-like tumor features associated with poor prognosis. Gene expression profiling of 16 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), 7 mixed type of combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (CHC), 2 Hepatic adenoma, 3 focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), 5 non-tumor liver tissues, and 2 CCA cell lines were performed.

Mixed hepatocellular – cholangiocarcinoma derives from liver progenitor cells and depends on senescence and IL6 trans-signaling, bulk RNA sequencing

Project description:Mixed hepatocellular – cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-CCA) is a highly malignant primary liver cancer of increasing incidence for which the cell of origin and molecular pathogenesis have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, by linking YFP to the progenitor cell specific promoter of Foxl1 in Mdr2-KO mice, we generated a lineage tracing mouse model for liver cancer to monitor the development of mixed HCC-CCA tumors following a prolonged period of liver inflammation. In this model of chronic hepatitis, we demonstrate that liver progenitor cells are the source of mixed HCC-CCA tumors but not of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Moreover, we show that IL6, originating from senescent hepatic cells, is involved in progenitor cell proliferation and development of mixed HCC-CCA tumors via IL6 trans-signaling. These findings could form the basis for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for treatment of mixed HCC-CCA liver cancer.

Transcriptomic signature of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma derived from oncogenically transformed murine hepatocytes

Project description:Primary liver cancer represents a major health problem. It comprises hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), which differ markedly with regards to their morphology, metastatic potential and therapy response. Yet, molecular actors and tissue context that commit transformed hepatic cells towards HCC or ICC are largely unknown. Here, we report that the hepatic microenvironment epigenetically shapes lineage commitment in mosaic mouse models of liver tumourigenesis. While a necroptosis associated hepatic cytokine microenvironment determines ICC outgrowth from oncogenically transformed hepatocytes, hepatocytes harbouring identical oncogenic drivers give rise to HCC if surrounded by apoptotic hepatocytes. Epigenome and transcriptome profiling of murine HCC and ICC singled out Tbx3 and Prdm5 as major microenvironment-dependent and epigenetically regulated lineage commitment factors, a function conserved in humans. Together, our study provides unprecedented insights into lineage commitment in liver tumourigenesis and explains molecularly why common liver damaging risk factors can either lead to HCC or ICC.

Fibrous stromal component in hepatocellular carcinoma reveals a cholangiocarcinoma-like gene expression trait and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) are the major primary liver cancers in adults. It has been shown the phenotypic overlap between HCC and CC, comprising continuous liver cancer spectrum. As a proof of concept, a recent study has demonstrated a genomic subtype of HCC expressing CC-like gene expression trait, i.e. CC-like HCC, which has revealed common genomic trait of stem cell-like property and aggressive clinical outcome. However, the histopathological characteristics of these intermediate phenotype was not fully evaluated yet. Here, we found that a variant HCC with fibrous stromal component, i.e. scirrhous HCC, has CC-like genomic features. By performing gene expression profiling and immunohistochemical evaluation, we compared the morphological and molecular features of scirrhous HCC with CC and classical HCC. We found that the scirrhous HCC express both CC-like and stem cell-like expression traits. In addition, we observed the expression of core epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related genes, which may contribute to the aggressive behavior of scirrhous HCC. Over-expression of transforming growth factor Î² (TGF-Î²) signaling was also found, implying its regulatory role in the pathobiology of scirrhous HCC. Conclusion: We suggest that the fibrous stromal component in HCC may contribute to the acquisition of CC-like gene expression trait in HCC. The expression of stem cell-like trait and TGF-Î²/EMT molecules may play pivotal roles in the aggressive phenotype of scirrhous HCC Gene expression profiles of HCC, CC and HCC with fibrous stroma were compared.
