Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of lncRNAs expression profile in sorafenib resistant hepatocellular carcinoma cells. We identified 1240 differentially expressed lncRNAs with 576 up-regulated and 664 down-regulated (fold change > 2, P < 0.05) in sorafenib-resistant (HUH7-S) HCC cells (fold change > 2, P < 0.05) in sorafenib-resistant (HepG2-S) HCC cells, compared to parental sorafenib-sensitive (HUH7, HepG2) HCC cells by high-throughput sequencing. In addition, based on GO (Gene Ontology) term enrichment analysis, these differentially expressed lncRNAs are mainly related to binding and catalytic activity and biological regulation of metabolic processes in both the Huh7-S and HepG2-S cell lines compared to parental cell lines. Moreover, the differentially expressed genes analyzed by KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) Pathway were significantly related to tight junction. Among them, TCONS_00284048 and TCONS_00006019 expression were consistently up-regulated in resistant HCC cells, whereas both of them knock down increased the sensitivity of Huh7-S and HepG2-S cells to sorafenib.

Project description:As the first-line treatment, sorafenib has been used for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the chemoresistance commonly restricts to the clinical efficiency. In this study, we intend to investigate the genome-wide expression pattern of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in sorafenib-resistant HCC. Herein, we identified thousands of differentially expressed lncRNAs in sorafenib-resistant HCC cells by high-throughput sequencing compared to the parental. Besides, based on GO (Gene Ontology) term enrichment analysis, these differentially expressed lncRNAs are mainly related to binding and catalytic activity and biological regulation of metabolic processes in both the sorafenib-resistant Huh7 cells (Huh7-S) and sorafenib-resistant HepG2 cells (HepG2-S) compared to the parental cells. Moreover, when analyzed by KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway, the differentially expressed genes were significantly related to the tight junction. Among them, the expression of TCONS_00284048 and TCONS_00006019 was consistently up-regulated in sorafenib-resistant HCC cell lines, whereas when either was knocked down, the sensitivity of Huh7-S and HepG2-S cells to sorafenib was increased. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the lncRNA expression profile is significantly altered in sorafenib-resistant HCC cells as well as differentially expressed lncRNAs may play crucial functions on HCC sorafenib resistance and HCC progression.

Project description:Sorafenib, the first targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has been utilized in clinics over a decade. However, its effectiveness is severely hindered by the acquired drug resistance, the mechanisms of which remain largely elusive. In this study, we identify that carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) is a key regulator of sorafenib resistance. Mechanistically, sorafenib treatment decreases intracellular pH (pHi) by suppressing monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) expression, while high levels of CA2 counteract MCT4-mediated pHi dysregulation upon sorafenib treatment, maintaining pHi homeostasis to facilitate cell survival and sorafenib resistance. Targeting CA2 re-sensitizes resistant HCC cells to sorafenib both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, analysis of clinical samples demonstrates a strong correlation between CA2 expression levels and the therapeutic efficacy of sorafenib in HCC patients. Our findings highlight the significance of CA2 in facilitating sorafenib resistance and propose targeting CA2 as a potential strategy for overcoming sorafenib resistance in HCC patients.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated, non-apoptotic cell death characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation upon loss of activity of the lipid repair enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Sorafenib, an FDA-approved multi-kinase inhibitor drug for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has been shown to induce ferroptosis. Protein phosphorylation changes upon Sorafenib treatment have been previously reported in patient studies and in cell culture however the early phosphorylation changes during induction of ferroptosis are not completely understood. This work highlights these changes through a time course from 7 to 60 min of Sorafenib treatment in SKHep1 cells to provide insight on the induction of ferroptosis. 6,186 unique phosphosites were quantified from 2,381 phosphoproteins in this study and phosphorylation changes occurred in as early as 30 minutes of Sorafenib treatment. By 60 minutes, significant changes in key regulatory pathways were identified, including sites from ferroptosis-related proteins, indicating the involvement of phospho-regulated signaling during ferroptosis induction.

Project description:Abstract: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in the induction of chemo-resistance. The objectives of this study were to clarify the mechanism underlying CAF-mediated sorafenib/lenvatinib resistance and identify a novel therapeutic target to overcome resistance to sorafenib/lenvatinib in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) data of nine pairs of CAFs and para-cancer-associated fibroblasts (PAFs) were analyzed to identify key molecules that induce resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to validate selected targets and related mechanisms. Plasma secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) expression levels prior to sorafenib/lenvatinib treatment as well as progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of an advanced HCC cohort (n=42) were evaluated using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results: Co-culturing CAFs and HCC cells significantly reduced the responsiveness of HCC cells to sorafenib/lenvatinib, in vitro and in vivo. Systematic integrative analysis of the WTS data of CAFs/PAFs and publicly available gene expression data indicated that CAF-derived SPP1 (CAF-SPP1) was suitable for use as a candidate molecule to induce sorafenib/lenvatinib resistance. An evaluation of the mechanisms involved indicated that CAF-SPP1 increased phosphorylation of PKCɑ, which then activated rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF)-extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and phosophoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT-mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) in HCC cells. SPP1 inhibitors reversed CAF-induced sorafenib/lenvatinib resistance in vitro and in vivo. Patients showing high plasma SPP1 prior to sorafenib/lenvatinib treatment exhibited significantly poor PFS (P=0.005) and OS (P=0.041). Conclusions: CAF-SPP1 enhances sorafenib/lenvatinib resistance in HCC by alternatively activating oncogenic pathways via PKCɑ phosphorylation. Inhibition of CAF-SPP1 may be utilized as a therapeutic strategy against TKI resistance in HCC. Plasma SPP1 level prior to TKI treatment shows potential as a promising biomarker for predicting sorafenib/lenvatinib response in advanced HCC patients.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Sorafenib is effective in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but patients ultimately present disease progression. Molecular mechanisms underlying acquired resistance are still unknown. Herein, we characterize the role of tumor-initiating cells (T-ICs) and signaling pathways involved in sorafenib resistance. DESIGN: HCC xenograft mice treated with sorafenib (n=22) were explored for responsiveness (n=5) and acquired resistance (n=17). Mechanism of acquired resistance were assessed by: 1) Role of T-ICs by in vitro sphere formation and in vivo tumorigenesis assays using NOD/SCID mice, 2) Activation of alternative signaling pathways and 3) Efficacy of anti-FGF and anti-IGF drugs in experimental models. Gene expression (microarray, qRT-PCR) and protein analyses (immunohistochemistry, western blot) were conducted. A novel gene signature of sorafenib resistance was generated and tested in 2 independent cohorts. RESULTS: Sorafenib-acquired resistance tumors showed significant enrichment of T-ICs (164 cells needed to create a tumor) vs. sorafenib-sensitive tumors (13400 cells) and non-treated tumors (1292 cells), p<0.001. Tumors with sorafenib-acquired resistance were enriched with IGF and FGF signaling cascades (FDR<0.05). In vitro, cells derived from sorafenib-acquired resistant tumors and two sorafenib-resistant HCC cell lines were responsive to IGF or FGF inhibition. In vivo, FGF blockade delayed tumor growth and improved survival in sorafenib-resistant tumors. A sorafenib-resistance 175-gene signature was characterized by enrichment of progenitor-cell features, aggressive tumoral traits and predicted poor survival in 2 cohorts (n=442 HCC patients). CONCLUSION: Acquired resistance to sorafenib is driven by tumor initiating cells with enrichment of progenitor markers and activation of IGF and FGF signaling. Inhibition of these pathways would benefit a subset of patients after sorafenib progression. Transcriptomic profile of subcutaneous Huh7 cells-derived tumors treated with sorafenib that developed acquired resistance to the drug (n=4), remain responsive to sorafenib (n=3) or were treated with brivanib after development of resistance (n=3). Gene profiling of hepatospheres generated from tumors with acquired resistance to sorafenib (n=3) and non-treated tumors (n=3) was also analyzed.

Project description:Background & Aims: Existing drug therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), including sorafenib, extend patient survival by only three months. We sought to identify novel druggable targets for use in combination with sorafenib to increase its efficacy. Methods: We implemented an in vivo genetic screening paradigm utilizing a library of 43 genes-of-interest expressed in the context of repopulation of the injured livers of Fumarylacetoacetate Hydrolase-deficient (Fah-/-) mice, which led to highly penetrant HCC. We treated mice with vehicle or sorafenib, then determined the genetic drivers of each tumor from the library. Liver X Receptor alpha (LXRalpha) emerged as a potential target. To examine LXRalpha agonism in combination with sorafenib treatment, we added varying concentrations of sorafenib and LXRalpha agonist drugs to HCC cell lines. To elucidate the mechanism of tumor death, we performed transcriptomic analysis. Results: Fah-/- mice injected with the screening library developed HCC tumor clones containing Myc cDNA plus various other cDNAs. Treatment with sorafenib resulted in sorafenib-resistant HCCs that were significantly depleted in Nr1h3 cDNA, encoding LXRalpha, suggesting that LXRalpha activation is incompatible with tumor growth in the presence of sorafenib treatment in vivo. Combination treatment using sorafenib and LXR agonist drugs in multiple HCC cell lines led to enhanced cell death as compared to monotherapy, due to reduced expression of cell cycle regulators and increased expression of genes associated with apoptosis. Combination therapy also enhanced cell death in a sorafenib-resistant primary human HCC cell line. Conclusions: We have completed a novel drug resistance screen in vivo, and identified that LXR agonism potentiates the efficacy of sorafenib in treating HCC.

Project description:Sorafenib is the only approved targeted drug for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its effect on patients’ survival gain is limited and varies over a wide range depending on patho-genetic conditions. Thus, enhancing the efficacy of sorafenib and finding a reliable predictive biomarker are crucuial to achieve efficient control of HCCs. In this study, we employed a systems approach by combining transcriptome analysis of the mRNA changes in HCC cell lines in response to sorafenib with network analysis to investigate the action and resistance mechanism of sorafenib. Gene ontology and gene set analysis revealed that proteotoxic stress and apoptosis modules are activated in the presence of sorafenib. Further analysis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress network model combined with in vitro experiments showed that introducing an additional stress by treating the orally active protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor (PACMA 31) can synergistically increase the efficacy of sorafenib in vitro and in vivo, which was confirmed using a mouse xenograft model. We also found that HCC patients with high PDI expression show resistance to sorafenib and poor clinical outcomes, compared to the low PDI expression group. These results suggest that PDI is a promising therapeutic target for enhancing the efficacy of sorafenib and can also be a biomarker for predicting sorafenib responsiveness.
