Integrative In Silico and In Vitro Transcriptomics Analysis Revealed Gene Expression Changes and Oncogenic Features of Normal Cholangiocytes after Chronic Alcohol Exposure. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20235987.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor originating from cholangiocyte. Prolonged alcohol consumption has been suggested as a possible risk factor for CCA, but there is no information about alcohol’s mechanisms in cholangiocyte. This study was designed to investigate global transcriptional alterations through RNA-sequencing by using chronic alcohol exposure (20 mM for 2 months) in normal human cholangiocyte MMNK-1 cells. To observe the association of alcohol induced CCA pathogenesis, we combined differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with computational bioinformatics of CCA by using publicly gene expression omnibus (GEO) datasets. For biological function analysis, Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed biological process and molecular function related to regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, while cellular component linked to the nucleoplasm. KEGG pathway presented pathways in cancer that were significantly enriched. From KEGG result, we further examined the oncogenic features resulting in chronic alcohol exposure, enhanced proliferation, and migration through CCND-1 and MMP-2 up-regulation, respectively. Finally, combined DEGs were validated in clinical data including TCGA and immunohistochemistry from HPA database, demonstrating that FOS up-regulation was related to CCA pathogenesis. This study is the first providing more information and molecular mechanisms about global transcriptome alterations and oncogenic enhancement of chronic alcohol exposure in normal cholangiocytes.

Abstract
Alcoholic beverages (ABs) and carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) are widely consumed worldwide. Given the high consumption of these beverages, the scientific community has increased its focus on their health impact. There is epidemiological evidence of a causal association between AB intake and digestive cancer, but the role of alcohol in determining cancer is not fully defined. Experimental studies have so far identified multiple mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis; ethanol itself is not carcinogenic but available data suggest that acetaldehyde (AA) and reactive oxygen species-both products of ethanol metabolism-have a genotoxic effect promoting carcinogenesis. Other carcinogenetic mechanisms include nutritional deficits, changes in DNA methylation, and impaired immune surveillance. As CSDs are often suspected to cause certain gastrointestinal disorders, consequently, some researchers have hypothesized their involvement in gastrointestinal cancers. Of all the ingredients, carbon dioxide is prevalently involved in the alteration of gastrointestinal physiology by a direct mucosal effect and indirect effects mediated by the mechanical pressure determined by gas. The role of sugar or artificial sweeteners is also debated as factors involved in the carcinogenic processes. However, several surveys have failed to show any associations between CSDs and esophageal, gastric, or colon cancers. On the other hand, a slight correlation between risk of pancreatic cancer and CSD consumption has been found.

Abstract
The liver is the most important tissue site in the body for uptake of postprandial retinoid, as well as for retinoid storage. Within the liver, both hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are importantly involved in retinoid metabolism. Hepatocytes play an indispensable role in uptake and processing of dietary retinoid into the liver, and in synthesis and secretion of retinol-binding protein (RBP), which is required for mobilizing hepatic retinoid stores. HSCs are the central cellular site for retinoid storage in the healthy animal, accounting for as much as 50-60% of the total retinoid present in the entire body. The liver is also an important target organ for retinoid actions. Retinoic acid is synthesized in the liver and can interact with retinoid receptors which control expression of a large number of genes involved in hepatic processes. Altered retinoid metabolism and the accompanying dysregulation of retinoid signaling in the liver contribute to hepatic disease. This is related to HSCs, which contribute significantly to the development of hepatic disease when they undergo a process of cellular activation. HSC activation results in the loss of HSC retinoid stores and changes in extracellular matrix deposition leading to the onset of liver fibrosis. An association between hepatic disease progression and decreased hepatic retinoid storage has been demonstrated. In this review article, we summarize the essential role of the liver in retinoid metabolism and consider briefly associations between hepatic retinoid metabolism and disease. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Retinoid and Lipid Metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A decrease in retinoic acid levels due to alcohol consumption has been proposed as a contributor to such conditions as fetal alcohol spectrum diseases and ethanol-induced cancers. One molecular mechanism, competitive inhibition by ethanol of the catalytic activity of human alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) (ADH) on all-trans-retinol oxidation has been shown for the ADH7 isoform. Ethanol metabolism also causes an increase in the free reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) in cells, which might reasonably be expected to decrease the retinol oxidation rate by product inhibition of ADH isoforms. METHODS To understand the relative importance of these two mechanisms by which ethanol decreases the retinol oxidation in vivo we need to assess them quantitatively. We have built a model system of 4 reactions: (1) ADH oxidation of ethanol and NAD(+), (2) ADH oxidation of retinol and NAD(+), (3) oxidation of ethanol by a generalized Ethanol(oxidase) that uses NAD(+), (4) NADH(oxidase) which carries out NADH turnover. RESULTS Using the metabolic modeling package ScrumPy, we have shown that the ethanol-induced increase in NADH contributes from 0% to 90% of the inhibition by ethanol, depending on (ethanol) and ADH isoform. Furthermore, while the majority of flux control of retinaldehyde production is exerted by ADH, Ethanol(oxidase) and the NADH(oxidase) contribute as well. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that the ethanol-induced increase in NADH makes a contribution of comparable importance to the ethanol competitive inhibition throughout the range of conditions likely to occur in vivo, and must be considered in the assessment of the in vivo mechanism of ethanol interference with fetal development and other diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have examined long-term outcomes in alcohol-abusing patients with lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of alcohol abuse on the prognosis of patients with lung cancer. METHODS The study was composed of 114 consecutive patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer treated at a Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. An alcohol-abusing group consisted of 36 patients with one of the following at the time of lung cancer diagnosis: positive screening questionnaire, alcohol consumption more than 5 drinks or cans of beer a day, or criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol dependence/abuse according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders IV. The comparison group consisted of 78 nonabusing patients. RESULTS Alcohol abusers, compared with nonabusers, had worse Kaplan-Meier overall survival (median 8.5 versus 17.5 months, p = 0.05) and progression-free survival (median 6.0 versus 15.5 months, p = 0.04). In multivariate analyses including alcohol abuse, Charlson comorbidity, pack-years smoking, performance status, and stage, only stage of disease, performance status, and alcohol abuse (odds ratio = 3.44, 95% confidence interval = 1.17 to 10.1, p = 0.02) predicted progression of disease or death within 12 months of diagnosis. Alcohol abuse was also an independent predictor of disease-specific survival (hazard ratio = 1.65, 95% confidence interval = 1.01 to 2.80, p = 0.05) and progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 1.79, 95% confidence interval = 1.12 to 2.86, p = 0.01) among patients with lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS Alcohol-abusing patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer have worse outcomes than nonabusing patients. The adverse prognosis associated with alcohol abuse is independent of comorbidity, performance status, or smoking history.

Abstract
A causal association has been established between alcohol consumption and cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus, liver, colon, rectum, and, in women, breast; an association is suspected for cancers of the pancreas and lung. Evidence suggests that the effect of alcohol is modulated by polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes for ethanol metabolism (eg, alcohol dehydrogenases, aldehyde dehydrogenases, and cytochrome P450 2E1), folate metabolism, and DNA repair. The mechanisms by which alcohol consumption exerts its carcinogenic effect have not been defined fully, although plausible events include: a genotoxic effect of acetaldehyde, the main metabolite of ethanol; increased oestrogen concentration, which is important for breast carcinogenesis; a role as solvent for tobacco carcinogens; production of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen species; and changes in folate metabolism. Alcohol consumption is increasing in many countries and is an important cause of cancer worldwide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It has already been demonstrated that the rat esophagus produces retinoic acid from retinol. In this study, this process is further characterized and the effect of acetaldehyde examined to elucidate the possible mechanisms behind the epidemiological evidence that the incidence of esophageal cancer is higher in alcoholics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Rat esophageal samples were incubated with all-trans retinal and newly formed all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) was quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent acetaldehyde oxidation by the rat esophagus was examined by tracing NAD reduction using a spectrophotometer. RESULTS Rat esophageal samples produced ATRA from all-trans retinal in a NAD-dependent manner and the potential was significantly attenuated by phenetyl isothiocynate, an ALDH inhibitor, or acetaldehyde depending on the concentration used. Rat esophageal samples also oxidized acetaldehyde of various concentrations NAD dependently. The ATRA formation potential that was temporarily inhibited by acetaldehyde was recovered to the control level by dialysis when the specimen was incubated with up to 50 microM of acetaldehyde. CONCLUSIONS The rat esophagus produces retinoic acid from retinal. An ALDH isoform(s) is responsible for this process and physiological concentration of acetaldehyde hampers the process, probably in a competitive manner. Since the disturbance of retinoic acid supply has been implicated in carcinogenicity, this finding may, at least in part, explain the high incidence of esophageal cancer in alcoholics, especially in those with inactive ALDH 2 whose blood acetaldehyde levels become higher than those with active ALDH 2.

Abstract
Retinoic acid (RA), a member of the steroid/thyroid superfamily of signaling molecules, is an essential regulator of morphogenesis, differentiation, and regeneration in the mammalian olfactory pathway. RA-mediated teratogenesis dramatically alters olfactory pathway development, presumably by disrupting retinoid-mediated inductive signaling that influences initial olfactory epithelium (OE) and bulb (OB) morphogenesis. Subsequently, RA modulates the genesis, growth, or stability of subsets of OE cells and OB interneurons. RA receptors, cofactors, and synthetic enzymes are expressed in the OE, OB, and anterior subventricular zone (SVZ), the site of neural precursors that generate new OB interneurons throughout adulthood. Their expression apparently accommodates RA signaling in OE cells, OB interneurons, and slowly dividing SVZ neural precursors. Deficiency of vitamin A, the dietary metabolic RA precursor, leads to cytological changes in the OE, as well as olfactory sensory deficits. Vitamin A therapy in animals with olfactory system damage can accelerate functional recovery. RA-related pathology as well as its potential therapeutic activity may reflect endogenous retinoid regulation of neuronal differentiation, stability, or regeneration in the olfactory pathway from embryogenesis through adulthood. These influences may be in register with retinoid effects on immune responses, metabolism, and modulation of food intake.

Abstract
The influence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor--N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)--on the formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) by HepG2 cells, engineered to overexpress CYP2E1, was assessed and compared with data from empty vector-transfected cells. HepG2 cells produced significant amounts of NDMA but its levels in the culture media of cells overexpressing CYP2E1 was significantly lower than in empty-vector transfected cells. LPS increased the formation of NDMA, the expression of the iNOS and the production of the nitric oxide (NO). On the other hand, L-NAME significantly decreased NDMA levels. The results above indicate that the synthesis of NDMA by HepG2 cells depends on NO production. Furthermore, ethanol did not affect iNOS expression but decreased NDMA levels in CYP2E1-transfected cells below the detection limit. It is probably caused by the increased N-nitrosodimethylamine metabolism. In conclusion, HepG2 cells' ability to synthesize NO with simultaneous CYP2E1 activation may lead to an increase of carcinogenic products of the NDMA metabolism.

Abstract
Chronic and excessive alcohol intake is associated with an increased risk of a variety of cancers (e.g., oral cavity, larynx, esophagus, liver, lung, colorectal, and breast). Retinoids (vitamin A and its derivatives) are known to exert profound effects on cellular growth, cellular differentiation, and apoptosis, thereby controlling carcinogenesis. Lower hepatic vitamin A levels have been well documented in alcoholics. Substantial research has been done, investigating the mechanisms by which excessive alcohol interferes with retinoid metabolism. More specifically, (1) alcohol acts as a competitive inhibitor of vitamin A oxidation to retinoic acid involving alcohol dehydrogenases and acetaldehyde dehydrogenases; (2) alcohol-induced cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP), particularly CYP2E1, enhance catabolism of vitamin A and retinoic acid; and (3) alcohol alters retinoid homeostasis by increasing vitamin A mobilization from liver to extrahepatic tissues. As a consequence, long-term and excessive alcohol intake results in impaired status of retinoic acid, the most active derivative of vitamin A and a ligand for both retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X receptors. Moreover, this alcohol-impaired retinoic acid homeostasis interferes with (1) retinoic acid signaling (e.g., down-regulates retinoid target gene expression) and (2) retinoic acid "cross-talk" with the mitogen-activated protein kinase [(MAPK), including Jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and p38 kinase] signaling pathway. In addition, restoration of retinoic acid homeostasis by retinoic acid supplementation restored the normal status of both retinoid and MAPK signaling, thereby maintaining normal cell proliferation and apoptosis in alcohol-fed animals. These observations would have implications for the prevention of alcohol-promoted liver (and peripheral tissue) carcinogenesis. However, a better understanding of the alcohol-retinoid interaction and the molecular mechanisms involved is needed before retinoids can be pursued in the prevention of alcohol-related carcinogenesis in human beings, particularly regarding the detrimental effects of polar metabolites of vitamin A.

Abstract
Hepatocellular cancer accounts for almost half a million cancer deaths a year, with an escalating incidence in the Western world. Alcohol has long been recognized as a major risk factor for cancer of the liver and of other organs including oropharynx, larynx, esophagus, and possibly the breast and colon. There is compelling epidemiologic data confirming the increased risk of cancer associated with alcohol consumption, which is supported by animal experiments. Cancer of the liver associated with alcohol usually occurs in the setting of cirrhosis. Alcohol may act as a cocarcinogen, and has strong synergistic effects with other carcinogens including hepatitis B and C, aflatoxin, vinyl chloride, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. Acetaldehyde, the main metabolite of alcohol, causes hepatocellular injury, and is an important factor in causing increased oxidant stress, which damages DNA. Alcohol affects nutrition and vitamin metabolism, causing abnormalities of DNA methylation. Abnormalities of DNA methylation, a key pathway of epigenetic gene control, lead to cancer. Other nutritional and metabolic effects, for example on vitamin A metabolism, also play a key role in hepatocarcinogenesis. Alcohol enhances the effects of environmental carcinogens directly and by contributing to nutritional deficiency and impairing immunological tumor surveillance. This review summarizes the epidemiologic evidence for the role of alcohol in hepatocellular cancer, and discusses the mechanisms involved in the promotion of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the surgical risks and long-term survival in alcoholic patients undergoing resection for non-small-cell lung cancer. METHODS Nineteen resected patients comprising the alcoholic group were identified by either a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV diagnosis of alcohol dependence/abuse, or an alcohol consumption of 60 oz/d or more. Alcoholic patients were compared with 37 nonalcoholic patients undergoing resection. RESULTS Alcoholic patients had an increase in major infectious complications (37% [7 of 19] versus 5% [2 of 37], P = 0.005), respiratory failure (42% [8 of 19] versus 5% [2 of 37], P </=0.001), and costs ($49,526 +/- $17,525 versus $18,385 +/- $3,260, P = 0.01). Alcohol abuse was the best predictor of perioperative respiratory and infectious complications (P = 0.002, B = 2.86, odds ratio = 17.5). Stage of disease (P = 0.03, B = 1.19, hazard ratio = 3.29) was a better predictor of long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS Alcohol abuse significantly increases the risk and cost of lung cancer resection. For alcoholic patients surviving the perioperative period, long-term survival appears similar to non-alcohol-abusing patients.

Abstract
Chemical modification of 2'-deoxyguanosine and DNA by excessive acetaldehyde and crotonaldehyde were significantly accelerated by the presence of histones, which are nuclear proteins very rich in the basic amino acids such as L-arginine and L-lysine, resulting in the smooth and selective formation of the corresponding cyclic 1,N(2)-propanoguanine adducts under physiological conditions. Thus, histones have a very close connection with the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of these aldehydes.
