Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals that ECM-Receptor Interaction contributes to the venous metastases of hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common kind of liver cancer in the world. Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is one of the most serious complications of HCC and strongly correlated to a poor prognosis for HCC patients. However, the detailed mechanisms of PVTT development still remains to be explored. In this study, we presented the large scale transcriptome analysis of 11 HCC with PVTT patients by RNA-sequencing. The dysregulated genes between HCC and PVTT suggested that the ECM-Receptor Interaction was correlated to the venous metastases of HCC. Among all the recurrent alternative splicing events, we identified exon 6 skipping of RPS24, which is likely to be a cancer driver. We also identified five common fusion genes between HCC and its corresponding PVTT samples, including ARID1A-GPATCH3, MDM1-NUP107, PTGES3-RARG, PRLR-TERT and C9orf3-TMC1. All of the findings broaden our knowledge in PVTT development and may also contribute to the diagnosis and treatment for HCC patients with PVTT.

Project description:Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder frequently affecting postmenopausal women. In this study we have investigated expression of the prolactin receptor (PRLr) in a panel of 37 sporadic parathyroid tumours, as well as functionality in vitro in cultured parathyroid tumour cells. High levels of the prolactin receptor gene (PRLR) transcripts were demonstrated in parathyroid tissues as compared to other reference tissues and breast cancer cells. PRLr products of 60/70 kDa were highly expressed in all parathyroid tumours. In addition varying levels of the 80 kDa PRLr isoform, with known proliferative activity, were demonstrated. In parathyroid tumours PRLr immunoreactivity was observed in cytoplasm in all cases and in addition in the plasma membrane (n = 12) or enlarged lysosomes (n = 4). In normal parathyroid rim PRLr was expressed in cytoplasm and granulae. In in vitro studies of short-term cultured human parathyroid tumour cells prolactin stimulation was associated with transcriptional changes in JAK/STAT, RIG-I like receptor and type II interferon signaling pathways as documented by gene expression profiling. Moreover, PRLR gene expression in parathyroid tumors was significantly inversely correlated with plasma total Ca2+ levels. In conclusion, the prolactin receptor was found highly abundant in human parathyroid gland, parathyroid tumours, correlated with patient Ca2+ levels and functionally responsive to physiological levels of prolactin. These findings suggest a role for the prolactin receptor in human parathyroid adenomas. Expression profiling was done in parathyroid adenomas subjected to prolactin treatment in culture. In addition, corresponding paraffin sections were obtained for verification of PRLr expression by immunohistochemistry. 200 mg/L prolactin (recombinant humanM-BM- prolactin, Cat. No. JM-4687-50, MBL Woburn, MA) was added to 1M-CM-^W 10^6 attached parathyroid tumour cells. Cells were harvested using RNAlater (QIAGEN) and homogenized with QIAshredder for RNA extraction after 3 h and 24 h in culture, respectively. Negative controls were collected in parallel with each case at the same time points. RNA was extracted using QIA Cube, and quality assessed with Bioanalyser and Nanodrop. Expression array profiling and data analysis was done at the KI core facility Bioinformatics and Expression Analysis (BEA, Novum, Huddinge) using the Affymetrix platform and the TITAN ST 1.1 array. A total of 16 samples were analysed including 4 parathyroid adenomas cultured for 3 h or 24 h in the presence of prolactin plus control samples cultured in parallel without prolactin.
