Glycopeptide Biomarkers for HCC Detection in Patients with NASH

ABSTRACT: A comprehensive screening of site-specific N-glycopeptides in serum haptoglobin (Hp), a reporter molecule for aberrant glycosylation in HCC, has been performed to characterize glycopeptide markers for NASH-related HCCs.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is rising in prevalence in the United States and is a growing cause of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Site-specific glycan heterogeneity on glycoproteins has been shown as a potential diagnostic biomarker for HCC. Herein, we have performed a comprehensive screening of site-specific N-glycopeptides in serum haptoglobin (Hp), a reporter molecule for aberrant glycosylation in HCC, to characterize glycopeptide markers for NASH-related HCCs. In total, 70 NASH pa ...[more]

Project description:Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to obesity and diabetes, suggesting an important role of adipose tissue in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Here we aim to investigate the interaction between adipose tissue and liver in NAFLD, and identify potential early plasma markers that predict NASH. Research Design and Methods: C57Bl/6 mice were chronically fed a high fat diet to induce NAFLD and compared with mice fed low fat diet. Extensive histological and phenotypical analyses coupled with a time-course study of plasma proteins using multiplex assay was performed. Results: Mice exhibited pronounced heterogeneity in liver histological scoring, leading to classification into 4 subgroups: LF-low (LFL) responders displaying normal liver morphology, LF-high (LFH) responders showing benign hepatic steatosis, HF-low (HFL) responders displaying pre-NASH with macrovesicular lipid droplets, and HF-high (HFH) responders exhibiting overt NASH characterized by ballooning of hepatocytes, presence of Mallory bodies, and activated inflammatory cells. Compared to HFL responders, HFH mice gained weight more rapidly and exhibited adipose tissue dysfunction characterized by decreased final fat mass, enhanced macrophage infiltration and inflammation, and adipose tissue remodelling. Plasma haptoglobin, IL-1β, TIMP-1, adiponectin and leptin were significantly changed in HFH mice. Multivariate analysis indicated that in addition to leptin, plasma CRP, haptoglobin, eotaxin and MIP-1α early in the intervention were positively associated with liver triglycerides. Intermediate prognostic markers of liver triglycerides included IL-18, IL-1β, MIP-1γ and MIP-2, whereas insulin, TIMP-1, GCP-2 and MPO emerged as late markers. Conclusions: Our data support the existence of a tight relationship between adipose tissue dysfunction and NASH pathogenesis and point to several novel potential predictive biomarkers for NASH. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Male wildtype C57Bl/6 mice were fed LFD or HFD for 21 weeks. Mice were divided into 4 groups based on liver histology.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has dismal treatment responses to systemic therapies and is caused by both, viral and non-viral etiologies, including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) 1–5. NASH - triggered by high caloric intake and sedentary lifestyle - has become an important driver for HCC development. Immunotherapy has been recently approved for HCC but stratification of responders versus non-responders has remained an unmet need 5–8. Here, we found a progressive accumulation of non-classical activated CD8+PD-1+ T-cells in livers of NASH-affected patients and mice. PD-L1/PD-1-targeted immunotherapy of NASH-induced HCC administered either at cancer-initiation or after cancer-establishment lacked beneficial effects in mice. On the contrary, PD-1-targeted immunotherapy drove hepatic necro-inflammation and increased liver cancer incidence, tumor number, and nodule size. Anti-CD8 or anti-CD8/anti-NK1.1 treatment suppressed liver cancer development, implicating CD8+ T-cells as liver cancer drivers in the context of NASH. In line, PD-1-/- mice challenged with a NASH-inducing diet displayed early-onset of liver cancer. Mechanistically, PD-1-targeted immunotherapy triggered necro-inflammation and a pro-tumorigenic environment in the context of NASH, increasing the abundance of hepatic TOX+CXCR6+ expressing CD8+PD-1+ TNF+ T-cells. Anti-CD8/anti-PD-1 or anti-TNF/anti-PD-1, but not anti-CD4/anti-PD-1 treatment reverted anti-PD1 treatment-related increase of liver inflammation, NASH severity and tumorigenesis. Gene expression profile and increased abundance of murine hepatic CD8+PD-1+ T-cells were corroborated in human CD8+PD-1+ T cells derived from NASH patients. In a meta-analysis of clinical trials testing PD-1-targeting immune checkpoint inhibitors alone (i.e. pembrolizumab) or in combination in 1656 patients with advanced HCC, immunotherapy was not favorable over to control treatment in non-viral- when compared to viral-related HCC. Similarly, in two clinical cohorts tested, patients with NASH-driven HCC had a significantly worse overall survival with PD-1-targeted immunotherapy than HCC patients with other etiologies. Our data identify non-viral etiologies, particularly NASH, as potentially non-responsive in the context of HCC immunotherapy, providing a strong rational basis for patient stratification.
