ADAMTSL5 is an epigenetically activated oncogene conferring tumorigenic properties in hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT: The remarkable molecular heterogeneity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to challenge development of effective treatments and biomarkers. Here we report that the gene encoding a secreted glycoprotein, ADAMTSL5, is overexpressed and displays hypermethylated CpG islands in its gene body region in a clinically relevant mouse genetic model of HCC as well as in a significant proportion of human HCC patients. Immunohistological analysis of human HCCs revealed strong ADAMTSL5 immunostaining in tumour cells and histiocytes, in contrast to normal liver. Functional targeting of ADAMTSL5 in oncogenesis using shRNA interfered with tumorigenic properties of HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, ADAMTSL5 overexpression conferred tumorigenic capability to genetically sensitized, non-transformed hepatocytes in nude mice. Mechanistically, ADAMTSL5 abrogation led to reduction of several oncogenic inputs, including the receptor tyrosine kinases MET, EGFR, PDGFRβ, IGF1Rβ, and FGFR4, suggesting it as a master regulator of HCC tumorigenicity when overexpressed.

<h4>Background & aims</h4>The tumour microenvironment shapes tumour growth through cellular communications that include both direct interactions and secreted factors. The aim of this study was to characterize the impact of the secreted glycoprotein ADAMTSL5, whose role in cancer has not been previously investigated, on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).<h4>Methods</h4>ADAMTSL5 methylation status was evaluated through bisulfite sequencing, and publicly available data analysis. ADAMTSL5 RNA and prote ...[more]

Project description:Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) down-regulates several signaling pathways in multiple cell types, and previous data suggest that SOCS3 may shut off cytokine activation at the early stages of liver regeneration. We developed hepatocyte-specific Socs3 knockout (Socs3 h-KO) mice to directly study the role of SOCS3 during liver regeneration after 2/3 partial hepatectomy (PH). Socs3 h-KO mice demonstrate marked enhancement of DNA replication and liver weight restoration after 2/3 PH in comparison with littermate controls. Without SOCS3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation is prolonged, and activation of the mitogenic kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) is enhanced after PH. In vitro, we show that SOCS3 deficiency enhances hepatocyte proliferation in association with enhanced STAT3 and ERK activation after epidermal growth factor (EGF) or interleukin 6 (IL-6) stimulation. Microarray analyses show that SOCS3 modulates a distinct set of genes after PH, which fall into diverse physiologic categories. Using a model of chemical-induced carcinogenesis, we found that Socs3 h-KO mice develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at an accelerated rate. By acting on cytokines and multiple proliferative pathways, SOCS3 modulates both physiologic and neoplastic proliferative processes in the liver, and may act as a tumor suppressor. Experiment Overall Design: Hepatocyte-specific excision of the Socs3 gene was achieved by breeding Socs3 fl/fl mice with mice expressing the Cre recombinase transgene under control of the albumin promoter (Alb-Cre+), yielding Socs3 h-KO mice. Socs3 fl/fl, Alb-Cre- littermates were used as controls for all experiments, and are henceforth referred to as littermates. All mice (C57BL/6) were free of Helicobacter species, housed in a specific pathogen free facility with 12-h light/dark cycles with free access to standard food and water. 2/3 PH and sham operations were performed as previously described (15, 50) (n=3-6 mice per genotype per time point). Liver remnants were weighed after removal of necrotic stumps and sutures, and compared to post-operative body weight. For HCC experiments, a single i.p. injection of DEN (5mg/kg, Sigma) was performed 12-14 d after birth. For short time points, a single injection of DEN (100mg/kg) (31) was given to 4 wk old mice. At indicated time points, mice were sacrificed by CO2 inhalation. All animal studies were carried out under approved IACUC protocols at the University of Washington.
