Project description:Oncogenic activation of the RNA binding protein RDBP and c-Myc signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:Global transcriptomic alterations of both coding and non-coding RNA species are a ubiquitous feature associated with human cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Dysregulation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), the key regulators of RNA processing, is one mechanism in which cancer cells select to promote tumorigenesis. We analyzed genomic alterations amongst a family of more than 800 mRNA RBPs (mRBPs) in 1,225 clinical specimens from HCC patients and found that RBPs are significantly activated through gene amplification in a subset of tumors with poor prognosis, suggesting their potential oncogenic roles in HCC progression. Amongst the top candidates, RD binding protein (RDBP) was further characterized for its oncogenic role and effects on the HCC transcriptome. While the activation of RDBP induced an oncogenic phenotype, the abrogation of RDBP in HCC cells significantly decreased cancer associated phenotypes such as cell proliferation, migration/invasion and tumorigenicity in vivo. Further microarray analyses revealed that RDBP-dependent genes were tumor-related with a significant enrichment for c-Myc targets, suggesting interplay between RDBP and c-Myc signaling. Similar data were also found in HCC clinical specimens where c-Myc amplification was uncommon. Consistently, the RDBP-dependent c-Myc target gene signature was able to predict HCC patient survival in two independent cohorts of more than 400 patients. Taken together, our results suggest that oncogenic activation of RDBP is a novel mechanism that contributes to global transcriptome imbalance that is selective for the activation of c-Myc oncogenic signaling in HCC. We used microarray analysis to determine the affects of siRNA mediated RDBP knockdown in HCC transcriptome in cell lines. Hep3b and Huh1 cells were transfected with RDBP or scramble control siRNA for 48 hours in quadruplicates. Quality control using Spearman or Pearson correlation removes outliers resulting in triplicates for each group

Project description:To identify proteomic signatures associated with hepatocellular carcinoma driven by MYC overexpression, proteomics was performed on the LAP-tTA/tetO-MYC mouse conditional liver cancer model. Upon MYC activation, mice form liver cancer. Differential proteomics was performed in "MYC on" (MYC-HCC) mouse liver tumors versus mouse control normal liver tissue (where MYC was not overexpressed to drive tumorigenesis -- "MYC off").

Project description:Epigenetic gene regulation in various oncogenic pathways is currently an important focus of cancer research. The PI3K pathway plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma, but the significance of histone modification in the PI3K pathway-dependent hepatotumorigenesis remains unknown. We used microarrays to investigate the oncogenic gene regulation by histone demethylase Kdm3a under PI3K signaling activation in the liver.

Project description:Massive studies have been applied in exploring the factors driving pathogenesis, progression and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. However these studies were inefficient in disclosing the fundamental mechanism which promotes hepatocellular carcinoma. Zinc and zinc-finger proteins have been important in extensive biological processes for human. Supervised machine learning using bootstrapping algorithm on GEO and TCGA transcriptome data for hepatocellular carcinoma identified zinc-finger like protein ZFPL1 as potential hepatocellular carcinoma driver. Further studies validated ZFPL1 significantly promoted progression and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. We performed RNA-seq on si-ZFPL1 xenograft tissue and identified CLDN3 as potential target gene for ZFPL1. Further experiments confirmed interaction between ZFPL1 and WNT signaling pathway markers. Conclusively, these studies indicated the effect and mechanism of ZFPL1 on promoting progression and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma and might gap the bridge between zinc-finger like proteins and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of liver malignancy, is one of the most lethal forms of cancer. We identified a long non-coding RNA, Gm19705, that is over-expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma and mouse embryonic stem cells. We named this RNA Pluripotency and Hepatocyte Associated RNA Overexpressed in HCC, or PHAROH. Depletion of PHAROH impacts cell proliferation and migration, which can be rescued by ectopic expression of PHAROH. RNA-seq analysis of PHAROH knockouts revealed that a large number of genes with decreased expression contain a c-Myc motif in their promoter. C-MYC is decreased at the protein level, but not the mRNA level. RNA-antisense pulldown identified nucleolysin TIAR, a translational repressor, to bind to a 71-nt hairpin within PHAROH, sequestration of which increases c-MYC translation. In summary, our data suggest that PHAROH regulates c-MYC translation by sequestering TIAR and as such represents a potentially exciting diagnostic or therapeutic target in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:We show that NRF2 activation drives hepatocellular carcinoma development in vivo. Moreover, NRF2 undergoes glucose dependent modification called glycation and requires the de-glycating enzyme FN3K to maintain NRF2' oncogenic functions.
