Project description:Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) is a common precursor lesion of distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA). However, the sequence leading from a single epithelial layer in normal biliary epithelia to intraepithelial precursor lesions and finally to the invasive tumor is poorly understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate key miRNAs involved in this stepwise process and to identify their possible mRNA target genes in distal cholangiocarcinogenesis. As basis of our study, we conducted Laser Capture Microdissection of FFPE tissue sections of 12 patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. For each patient, we isolated three matched sample sets, including non-neoplastic biliary epithelia, high grade BilIN (grade 3), and invasive dCCA, thereby representing different stages of distal cholangiocarcinogenesis. This resulted in a total of 36 samples. Total RNA was extracted and the expression of ~800 miRNAs was assessed using the Nanostring® technology. Significantly deregulated miRNAs were validated by quantitative RT-PCR. Target genes were identified using miRWalk2.0 and validated by qRT-PCR and Western blot.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that critically regulate gene expression. Their abundance and function have been linked to processes such as senescence and aging. In aged monkey muscle, miR-451a and miR-144-3p were highly upregulated compared to young animals. This led us to hypothesize that the miRNAs 451a/144-3p may be involved in muscle differentiation. We found that these miRNAs are downregulated during the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. Overexpression of miR-451a, but not miR-144-3p, robustly impeded the differentiation, suggesting an inhibitory role for miR-451a. We further investigated the potential regulatory targets of miR-451a and identified Sparc mRNA, encoding a secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), which is involved in wound healing and cellular differentiation. Interestingly, we found that miR-451a suppresses Sparc mRNA translation according to the analysis of polysome profile. Our findings show that miR-451a is downregulated in differentiated myoblasts and decreases C2C12 differentiation at least in part by the suppression of SPARC biosynthesis.

Project description:The new concept of neoplastic lesion of biliary tree, Biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) and intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB), as a conunterpart of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), have been reported to be precancerous lesions in hilar and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and arise from lining bile duct epithelium and peribiliary gland (PBG) under inflammation microenvironment in human. However, mouse model is lacking different from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma arised from canal of Hering in the liver. In a Doxycyclin-controlled transgenic mouse model of BilIN and IPNB, overexpression of Fibroblast Growth Factor 10 (FGF10) phenocopies human pathology with mutistep progression of cholangiocarcinogenesis in chronic cholangitis. The development and branching morphogenesis of BilIN and IPNB was induced by Fgf10/Erk signal and inhibited by MEK inhibiter. Pdx1+ PBG cells present in IPNB were able to lineage trace the early IPNB lesion as well as Krt19+ cholangiocytes. BiliN and IPNB with Kras mutation was irreversible different from no Kras mutation, and loss of p16 contributed to malignant transformation of BilIN and IPNB. Our data challenge the common paradigms regarding the pathogenesis of BilIN and IPNB.

Project description:To filter the up-regulated gene induced by miR-451a overexpression and in cetuximab resistant HNSCC cell. We employed whole genome microarray. The HNSCC cell CAL27 was used as a control sample. CAL27_CTX, the cetuximab resistant CAL27 was compared with CAL27. The miR-451a overexpressed CAL27_451a sample was compared with the CAL27_NC sample. CAL27_CTX and CAL27_451A samples were collected after 48h of cetuximab treatment. The microarray results were taken together with ChIRP-seq analysis and bioinformatics analysis for miR-451a binding and enhancer analysis to eventually find the nuclear acticating target of miR-451a

Project description:Cetuximab resistance has been a major challenge for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) during target therapy. Yet the mechanism that caused cetuximab resistance, especially the miRNA regulation therein remains unclear. With growing evidence suggests that miRNAs may function within the cell nucleus and act as “nuclear activating miRNAs” for targeting the promoter region or enhancers related to target genes. They are believed to regulate diseases development including tumorigenesis. This study elucidates a novel mechanism underlying cetuximab resistance in HNSCC involving the nuclear activation of KDM7A transcription via miR-451a. Herein, small RNA sequencing, qRT-PCR and FISH results provide compelling evidence of miR-451a nuclear enrichment with cetuximab treatment. ChIRP-seq, microarray, bioinformatic analysis and dual luciferase reporter assay results show that miR-451a interacts with an enhancer region in KDM7A, activating its expression and further facilitating cetuximab resistance. It is also demonstrated that activation of KDM7A by nuclear miR-451a is induced by cetuximab treatment and is AGO2 dependent. Analyses of HNSCC samples through logistic regression indicated the significance of miR-451a and KDM7A in cetuximab resistance. These discoveries hold promise for the potential utilization of miR-451a and KDM7A as valuable biomarkers for cetuximab resistance and emphasize the function of nuclear activating miRNAs.

Project description:Gallbladder carcinoma is the most common cancer of the biliary tract with dismal survival largely due to delayed diagnosis. Biliary tract intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) is the common benign tumor that is suspected to be precancerous lesions. However, the genetic and evolutionary relationships between BilIN and carcinoma remain unclear. Here we performed whole-exome sequencing of coexisting low-grade BilIN (adenoma), high-grade BilIN, and carcinoma lesions, and normal tissues from the same patients.

Project description:Background and aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a heterogeneous group of malignancies with features of biliary tract differentiation. Incidence is increasing worldwide and these cancers collectively represent the second most common primary liver tumour. CCAs are characterized by genetic and epigenetic alterations that determine their pathogenesis. Hypermethylation of the SOX17 promoter was recently reported in human CCA tumours. SOX17 seems to be a key transcription factor for biliary embryogenesis. Here, we evaluated the role of SOX17 in cholangiocyte differentiation and in cholangiocarcinogenesis. Methods: SOX17 expression and function was evaluated during the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) into cholangiocytes, in the dedifferentiation of normal human cholangiocytes (NHC) and in cholangiocarcinogenesis. Lentiviruses overexpressing or knocking-down SOX17 (Lent-SOX17 and Lent-shRNA-SOX17, respectively) were used. Gene expression arrays were performed. Results: SOX17 expression is highly induced in the later stages of cholangiocyte differentiation from iPSC, and mediates the acquisition of the biliary markers cytokeratin (CK) 7 and 19, as well as fibronectin. In addition, SOX17 becomes progressively downregulated in NHC over serial cell passages in vitro and this event is associated with cellular senescence; however, experimental SOX17 knocking-down in differentiated NHC decreased the expression of both CK7 and 19 without affecting cellular senescence. SOX17 expression is reduced in CCA cells compared to NHC, as well as in human CCA tissue compared to human gallbladder tissue or NHC. In a murine xenograft model, overexpression of SOX17 in CCA cells decreased their tumorigenic capacity related to increased oxidative stress and apoptosis. Interestingly, overexpression of SOX17 in NHC did not affect their survival. Moreover, SOX17 overexpression inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin-dependent proliferation in CCA cells and was associated with upregulation of biliary epithelial markers and restoration of the primary cilium length. Both Wnt3a and TGFβ1 decreased SOX17 expression in NHC in a DNMT1-dependent manner. Inhibition of DNMT1 in CCA cells with siRNAs or pharmacological drugs upregulated SOX17 expression. Conclusion: SOX17 regulates the cholangiocyte phenotype and becomes epigenetically downregulated in CCA. SOX17 acts as a tumour suppressor in CCA, and restoration of its expression may have important therapeutic value.
