Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is frequently diagnosed in patients with late-stage disease who are ineligible for curative surgical therapies. Furthermore, the majority of patients become resistant to sorafenib. Recently, computational methods for drug repurposing have shown great promise to accelerate the discovery of new uses for existing drugs. In order to identify novel drugs for use against sorafenib resistant (SR)-HCC, we employed a transcriptomics-based drug repurposing method termed connectivity mapping. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of available in vitro and in vivo gene signatures of (SR)-HCC, and generated our own in vitro model using the Huh7 HCC cell line. We compared coverage of SR-HCC gene signatures across seven patient-derived HCC gene expression datasets, and observed that patients harboring the Huh7 SR-HCC gene signature had significantly reduced survival. Utilizing the Huh7 SR-HCC gene signature, we applied connectivity mapping to drug-induced gene expression profiles (n= 3,740 drugs) in the HepG2 HCC cell line from the LINCS database in order to find drugs that could oppose sorafenib resistance. We validated the use of two non-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, dasatinib and fostamatinib, to reduce viability of sorafenib-resistant HCC cells and confirmed up-regulated activity of Src family kinases, the targets of dasatinib, in our SR-HCC models. We prospectively validated predicted gene expression changes in fostamatinib treated Huh7-SR via RNA-seq analysis.

Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of lncRNAs expression profile in sorafenib resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cells. We identified 1240 differentially expressed lncRNAs with 576 up-regulated and 664 down-regulated (fold change > 2, P < 0.05) in sorafenib-resistant (HUH7-S) HCC cells (fold change > 2, P < 0.05) in sorafenib-resistant (HepG2-S) HCC cells, compared to parental sorafenib-sensitive (HUH7, HepG2) HCC cells by high-throughput sequencing. In addition, based on GO (Gene Ontology) term enrichment analysis, these differentially expressed lncRNAs are mainly related to binding and catalytic activity and biological regulation of metabolic processes in both the Huh7-S and HepG2-S cell lines compared to parental cell lines. Moreover, the differentially expressed genes analyzed by KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) Pathway were significantly related to tight junction. Among them, TCONS_00284048 and TCONS_00006019 expression were consistently up-regulated in resistant HCC cells, whereas both of them knock down increased the sensitivity of Huh7-S and HepG2-S cells to sorafenib.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated, non-apoptotic cell death characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation upon loss of activity of the lipid repair enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Sorafenib, an FDA-approved multi-kinase inhibitor drug for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has been shown to induce ferroptosis. Protein phosphorylation changes upon Sorafenib treatment have been previously reported in patient studies and in cell culture however the early phosphorylation changes during induction of ferroptosis are not completely understood. This work highlights these changes through a time course from 7 to 60 min of Sorafenib treatment in SKHep1 cells to provide insight on the induction of ferroptosis. 6,186 unique phosphosites were quantified from 2,381 phosphoproteins in this study and phosphorylation changes occurred in as early as 30 minutes of Sorafenib treatment. By 60 minutes, significant changes in key regulatory pathways were identified, including sites from ferroptosis-related proteins, indicating the involvement of phospho-regulated signaling during ferroptosis induction.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common causes of death worldwide and the fourth most prevalent type of cancer. Whereas curative treatments such as liver transplantation, ablation or surgery are optimal for early stages, only paliative treatments are given to intermediate and advanced stages of the disease. Sorafenib is still a suitable therapeutic option for patients in whom immunotherapy is not feasible. To gain information about therapy response, we sequenced HepG2 cells treated with Sorafenib 10 µM (24 hours)

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms underlying evasive resistance in cancer is an unmet medical need to improve the efficacy of current therapies. In this study, a combination of shRNA-mediated synthetic lethality screening and transcriptomic analysis revealed the transcription factors YAP/TAZ as key drivers of Sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by repressing Sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, in a TEAD-dependent manner YAP/TAZ induce the expression of SLC7A11, a key transporter maintaining intracellular glutathione homeostasis, thus enabling HCC cells to overcome Sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. At the same time, YAP/TAZ sustain the protein stability, nuclear localization and transcriptional activity of ATF4 which in turn cooperates to induce SLC7A11 expression. Our study uncovered a critical role of YAP/TAZ in the repression of ferroptosis and thus in the establishment of Sorafenib resistance in HCC, highlighting YAP/TAZ-based rewiring strategies as potential approaches to overcome HCC therapy resistance.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains one of the most lethal cancers, characterized by poor prognosis and low life expectancy. Unfortunately, there are very few molecular therapeutic options available for advanced HCC. Sorafenib is a current standard first-line treatment for advanced HCC, but drug resistance significantly limits its therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we identified ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) as the key regulator of HCC development and Sorafenib resistance. Analysis of TCGA databases revealed that USP22 is highly expressed in HCC tissues and is closely associated with poor patient prognosis. Our data further indicated that USP22 promotes the proliferation of HCC cells via deubiquitinating and stabilizing cyclin-dependent kinase 11B (CDK11B). Additionally, USP22 acts as a novel inducer of Sorafenib resistance and suppresses Sorafenib-triggered ferroptosis in HCC cells. It reduces the transcription of the transferrin receptor (TFRC) by decreasing H2BK120ub occupancy at TFRC transcription start site (TSS) downstream region, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis upon Sorafenib treatment. Finally, animal experiments confirmed the role of USP22 in promoting HCC cell growth and Sorafenib resistance in vivo. Taken together, our findings suggest that USP22 represents a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC patients, particularly those with Sorafenib resistance.

Project description:Sorafenib is a first-line chemotherapy drug for treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its therapeutic effect has been seriously affected by the emergence of sorafenib resistance in HCC patients. The underlying mechanism of sorafenib resistance is unclear. Here, we report a circular RNA, cDCBLD2, which plays an important role in sorafenib resistance in HCC. We found that cDCBLD2 was upregulated in sorafenib-resistant (SR) HCC cells, and knocking down cDCBLD2 expression could significantly increase sorafenib-related cytotoxicity. Further evidence showed that cDCBLD2 can bind to microRNA (miR)-345-5p through a competing endogenous RNA mechanism, increase type IIA topoisomerase (TOP2A) mRNA stability through a miRNA sponge mechanism, and reduce the effects of sorafenib treatment on HCC by inhibiting apoptosis. Our findings also suggest that miR-345-5p can negatively regulate TOP2A levels by binding to the coding sequence region of its mRNA. Additionally, targeting cDCBLD2 by injecting a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) could significantly overcome sorafenib resistance in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse model of HCC. Taken together, our study provides a proof-of-concept for a potential strategy to overcome sorafenib resistance in HCC patients by targeting cDCBLD2 or TOP2A.

Project description:Objective: Advanced HCC patients have few choices for life-prolonging therapy due to the high incidence of drug resistance. This study aimed to clarify the mechanism of sorafenib resistance and seek more effective treatments.Design:Two sorafenib-resistant (SR) cell lines were established to study the mechanism of drug resistance. RNA sequencing was used to characterize the global transcriptional consequences of sorafenib resistance, and immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) was performed to identify specific acetylation sites.Results： We found that Rho-GTPases were upregulated in SR cells and that PLEKHG5 was most abundantly expressed among all Rho GEFs (activators of Rho-GTPases). PLEKHG5 knockdown increased HCC cell sensitivity to sorafenib and inhibited the activation of Rac1 and downstream AKT/NF-κB signaling, while overexpression of PLEKHG5 reduced sorafenib sensitivity, which suggested that PLEKHG5 activation could be targeted to limit sorafenib resistance. IP-MS confirmed that three lysine sites in PH domain of PLEKHG5 could be acetylated, and their acetylation levels were correlated with PLEKHG5 stability. Further study demonstrated that HDAC2 interacted with PLEKHG5 to deacetylate lysine sites within the PH domain and maintain its stability. Finally, both knockout of HDAC2 and treatment with the selective HDAC2 inhibitor CAY10683 reduced PLEKHG5 protein levels and thereby enhanced the sensitivity of HCC to sorafenib in vivo and in vitro.Conclusion.:PLEKHG5 plays a key role in the occurrence of sorafenib resistance by activating Rac1/AKT/NF-κB signaling. HDAC2 regulates PLEKHG5 protein stability by regulating the acetylation level of its PH domain, and thus HDAC2 may be a potential therapeutic target for overcoming PLEKHG5-mediated sorafenib resistance in HCC.
