Disruption of proteome by an oncogenic fusion kinase alters metabolism in fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a usually lethal primary liver cancer driven by a somatic dysregulation of protein kinase A. We show that the proteome of FLC tumors is distinct from that of adjacent nontransformed tissue. These changes can account for some of the cell biological and pathological alterations in FLC cells, including their drug sensitivity and glycolysis. Hyperammonemic encephalopathy is a recurrent problem in these patients, and established treatments based on the assumption of liver failure are unsuccessful. We show that many of the enzymes that produce ammonia are increased and those that consume ammonia are decreased. We also demonstrate that the metabolites of these enzymes change as expected. Thus, hyperammonemic encephalopathy in FLC may require alternative therapeutics.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer that is driven by the fusion of DNAJB1 and PRKACA, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). PKA activity is controlled through regulatory proteins that both inhibit catalytic activity and control localization, and an excess of regulatory subunits ensures PRKACA activity is inhibited. Here, we found an increase in the ratio of catalytic to regulatory units in FLC patient tumors driven by DNAJB1::PRKACA using mass spectrom ...[more]

Project description:Background & Aims: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare primary hepatic cancer usually developed in non-cirrhotic livers of children and young adults with unknown etiology. Treatment is limited to surgical intervention. To date, molecular pathogenesis of FLC has been poorly characterized. Herein, we aim to provide an integrative genomic analysis from a large series of FLC patients. Methods: A clinically annotated cohort of 77 FLCs was analyzed through wholetranscriptome, SNP-array and whole-exome sequencing. Non-negative matrix factorization was performed for class discovery, and GSEA, NTP, IPA and immunohistochemistry for functional annotation. GISTIC algorithm identified chromosomal aberrations; Mutect and VarScan2, somatic mutations, and Random survival forest the prognostic signature, validated in an independent cohort. Results: Unsupervised gene expression clustering revealed 3 robust molecular classes: Proliferation-51%, enriched with liver cancer proliferation signatures and mTOR signaling activation, Inflammation-26%, with pro-inflammatory cytokines signatures, and Unannotated-23%, with non-liver-related cancer signatures. Neuroendocrine genes and cholangiocyte and hepatocyte histological markers were present in all classes. FLC showed few copy number variations, being the most frequent: focal amplification at 8q24.3(12.5%), and deletions at 19p13(28%) and 22q13.32(25%). DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript was observed in 79% of cases. FLC tumors had 32 damaging mutations on average, affecting uncommon genes in liver neoplasms (BRCA2, U2AF1). An 8-gene prognostic signature predicted survival in FLC patients. Conclusions: FLC genomic analysis reveals a unique molecular portrait characterized by uncommon damaging mutations and chromosomal aberrations, and a highly prevalent fusion protein. Three molecular classes, including Proliferation and Inflammation, define the biological behavior. Prognostic signature will allow better patient stratification.
