LncRNA HAND2-AS1 controls liver cancer stem cell functions and serves as a potential therapy target (ChiRP-Seq)


ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent liver cancer, characterized by a high rate of recurrence and heterogeneity. Liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) may well contribute to both of these pathological properties, but the mechanism underlying their self-renewal and maintenance are poorly understood. Here we identified a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) termed HAND2-AS1 that is highly expressed in liver CSCs. Human HAND2-AS1 is highly conserved to its mouse ortholog lncHand2. HAND2-AS1 is required for the self-renewal maintenance of liver CSCs to initiate HCC development. Mechanically, HAND2-AS1 recruits the INO80 complex onto BMPR1A promoter to trigger its expression, leading to the activation of BMP signaling. Importantly, targeting HAND2-AS1 by antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and BMPR1A by siRNAs have synergistic anti-tumor effects on humanized HCC models. Moreover, knockout of lncHand2 or Bmpr1a in mouse hepatocytes impairs BMP signaling and suppresses the initiation of liver cancer. Our findings reveal that HAND2-AS1 promotes the self-renewal of liver CSCs and drives liver oncogenesis, which may be a potential target for HCC therapy.
