Project description:Autotaxin (ATX, Enpp2) is a secreted lysophospholipase D catalyzing the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a pleiotropic growth factor-like phospholipid. Upregulated ATX expression has been detected in various chronic inflammatory disorders and different types of cancer; among them increased ATX mRNA or immunohistochemical staining has been suggested in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Conditional deletion of ATX/Enpp2 specifically from hepatocytes, in AlbEnpp2-/- mice, attenuated the DEN/CCl4-mediated HCC development in mice. To obtain mechanistic insights into the mode of action of the ATX/LPA axis in HCC development, we performed whole liver, genome wide expression profiling of DEN/CCl4-induced HCC upon the genetic deletion of Autotaxin (ATX) in AlbEnpp2-/- mice in comparison with DEN/CCl4-treated and untreated wt littermate mice.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly lethal cancer for which current available treatment options have limited efficacy. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for HCC, yet resistance to immunotherapy is a major challenge. Here, we uncover protein arginine methyltransferase 3 (PRMT3) as a novel driver of immunotherapy resistance in HCC. We show that PRMT3 expression is induced by activated T cells in response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) via an interferon-gamma (IFN)STAT1 signaling pathway, and that high PRMT3 expression inversely correlates with tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and predicts poor response to ICB in HCC patients. We demonstrate that genetic depletion and pharmacological inhibition of PRMT3 induce a profound influx of T cells into tumors and activate anti-tumor immunity to suppress HCC progression. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that PRMT3 methylates HSP60, a mitochondrial chaperone protein, at R446, and that this novel post-translational modification is required for HSP60 oligomerization and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. We reveal that targeting PRMT3-dependent HSP60-R446 methylation boosts anti-tumor immunity by disrupting mitochondrial function, increasing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) leakage, and activating the cGAS/STING pathway, a key innate immune sensor of cytosolic DNA. Importantly, we provide genetic and pharmacologic evidence that targeting PRMT3 enhances anti-PD1 efficacy and anti-tumor immunity in HCC mouse models. Our study identifies PRMT3 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target to overcome immunotherapy resistance in HCC.

Project description:The diethylnitrosamine HCC rat model (DEN-HCC) is a useful preclinical model mirroring human hepatocellular carcinoma. To overcome tumor heterogeneity of human HCCs linked to different etiologies and clonal selection, rat HCC samples were compared with matched non-tumor livers in order to identify HCC-related genes involved in the carcinogenetic process. Specifically, male Wistar rats received DEN (Sigma-Aldrich) in the drinking water (100 mg/L) for 8 weeks. Two weeks later the end of DEN treatment, animals were monitored by ultrasound imaging. Animals were euthanized 1 or 2 months after the end of DEN treatment, when the major diameter of at least one HCC nodule reached a dimension of 10 mm. Samples were collected for molecular biology and total RNA for microarray analysis was extracted by using Trizol. Two rat livers from untreated mice were included in the analysis.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and it is necessary to elucidate the mechanism of hepatocarcinogenesis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high mortality rate and develops based on the chronic inflammatory hepatic disease. Therefore, novel prophylactic or therapeutic strategies are required to improve outcome. In this study, influence of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and retinoic acid (ATRA) on hepatocarcinogenesis was investigated in mouse. These results suggest that the control of NF-M-NM-:B signaling during the early stage of HCC development is important for the prevention of malignant transformation in hepatocytes. Genes induced by the following treatments in mice liver were investigated at 2 days or 7 days after treatment; DEN: diethylnitrosamine (treatment of DEN (drinking water 80 mg/L)) ATRA: retinoic acid (treatment of ATRA (drinking water 30 mg/L)) G0s2 siRNA : G0s2 knockdown mouse liver (treatment of G0s2 siRNA) Control siRNA: treatment of scramble siRNA (negative control)

Project description:Gene-expression profiles of liver tissue of cabon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated mouse and the effect of erlotinib Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common solid tumor worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Given the lack of successful treatment options, chemoprevention in high-risk patients has been proposed as an alternative strategy. Mounting evidence supports a role for epidermal growth factor (EGF) during chronic liver disease and hepatocellular transformation. We address the hypothesis that blocking the EGF-EGF receptor (EGFR) pathway may be an effective strategy for inhibiting fibrogenesis and hepatocarcinogenesis. A rat model of diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced cirrhosis was used to examine the effects of erlotinib on underlying chronic liver disease and HCC formation. The DEN-induced rat model closely resembles disease progression in humans both pathologically and molecularly. Erlotinib significantly prevented the development of HCC tumor nodules in a dose-dependent fashion. Further, erlotinib inhibited the activation of hepatic stellate cells and prevented fibrogenesis. Erlotinib also reduced hepatotoxicity and improved liver function. Finally, a gene expression signature predictive of poor survival in human cirrhosis patients was reversed in response to erlotinib. Our data demonstrate for the first time that EGFR inhibition prevents liver fibrogenesis. Further, our results suggest that erlotinib is a potentially effective HCC chemoprevention strategy through inhibition of cirrhosis progression which can be monitored at the molecular level. Animals received humane care according to the criteria outlined in the M-bM-^@M-^\Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory AnimalsM-bM-^@M-^] of the National Academy of Sciences. All animals were maintained in accordance with the institutional guidelines of the Massachusetts General Hospital Subcommittee on Research Animal Care. Strain A/J male mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were treated three times a week for 18 weeks with either 0.1cc of a 40 percent solution of CCl4 (Sigma) in olive oil or with vehicle control by oral gavage. Mice were sacrificed at 19 weeks after a one-week washout to eliminate acute effects of CCl4. The liver was sectioned and fixed in phosphate-buffered 10% formaldehyde for histological analysis. The remaining portions of the liver were collected in RNase-free tubes and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen tissues were stored at -80M-BM-0C until use.
