CYP3A5 Functions as a Tumor Suppressor in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Regulating mTORC2/Akt Signaling

CYP3A5 unexpectedly regulates glucose metabolism through the AKT-TXNIP-GLUT1 axis in pancreatic cancer

CYP3A5 is a cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme that metabolizes drugs and contributes to drug resistance in cancer. However, it remains unclear whether CYP3A5 directly influences cancer progression. In this report, we demonstrate that CYP3A5 regulates glucose metabolism in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Multi-omics analysis showed that CYP3A5 knockdown results in a decrease in various glucose-related metabolites through its effect on glucose transport. A mechanistic study revealed that CYP3A5 enriches the glucose transporter GLUT1 at the plasma membrane by restricting the translation of TXNIP, a negative regulator of GLUT1. Notably, CYP3A5-generated reactive oxygen species were proved to be responsible for attenuating the AKT-4EBP1-TXNIP signaling pathway. CYP3A5 contributes to cell migration by maintaining high glucose uptake in pancreatic cancer. Taken together, our results, for the first time, reveal a role of CYP3A5 in glucose metabolism in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and identify a novel mechanism that is a potential therapeutic target.

Gene Expression Reprogramming by Citrate Supplementation Reduces HepG2 Cell Migration and Invasion

Citrate, which is obtained from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA by citrate synthase in mitochondria, plays a key role in both normal and cancer cell metabolism. In this work, we investigated the effect of 10 mM extracellular citrate supplementation on HepG2 cells. Gene expression reprogramming was evaluated by whole transcriptome analysis using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The transcriptomic data were validated through analyzing changes in the mRNA levels of selected genes by qRT-PCR. Citrate-treated cells exhibited the statistically significant dysregulation of 3551 genes; 851 genes were upregulated and 822 genes were downregulated. GSEA identified 40 pathways affected by differentially expressed mRNAs. The most affected biological processes were related to lipid and RNA metabolism. Several genes of the cytochrome P450 family were upregulated in treated cells compared to controls, including the CYP3A5 gene, a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that plays an important protective role in HCC metastasis. The citrate-induced dysregulation of cytochromes could both improve the effectiveness of chemotherapeutics used in combination and reduce the aggressiveness of tumors by diminishing cell migration and invasion.

Transcriptomic sequencing analysis of key long noncoding RNAs and mRNAs expression profiles in postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND

Recurrence is the main cause of death in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after liver resection.

OBJECTIVE

The long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported participated in progression and prognosis of HCC, however, the vital role of lncRNA in postoperative recurrence of HCC has rarely been systematically identified.

METHODS

RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed between orthotopic model of HCC and hepatoma postoperative recurrent model to comprehensively analyze the integrated transcriptome expression profiles of lncRNA and mRNA. Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was then conducted to quantify the expression levels of DElncRNAs and their target mRNAs.

RESULTS

In our study, 211 lncRNAs (P-value < 0.05) and 1125 mRNAs (P-adjust < 0.05) were significantly differentially expressed (DE) between two groups. Moreover, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses showed that DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs were mainly enriched in lipid metabolism, including Arachidonic acid metabolism, PPAR signaling pathway, Steroid hormone biosynthesis, Linoleic acid metabolism, Inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, and Fatty acid degradation. Furthermore, we constructed lncRNA-mRNA interaction networks and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and verified by qRT-PCR, suggesting that increased DEIncRNAs (XLOC_063499 and XLOC_042016) may prevent HCC recurrence after surgery by upregulating on targeted cytochrome P450 (CYP) family genes in the lipid metabolism pathway, such as cyp3a16, cyp3a44, cyp2c39, cyp2c40 and cyp2c68.

CONCLUSION

Overall, Our findings provided new insights for further investigation of biological function in lncRNA related HCC recurrence.

Identification of molecular subtypes based on PANoptosis-related genes and construction of a signature for predicting the prognosis and response to immunotherapy response in hepatocellular carcinoma

Background

Previous studies have demonstrated that PANoptosis is strongly correlated with cancer immunity and progression. This study aimed to develop a PANoptosis-related signature (PANRS) to explore its potential value in predicting the prognosis and immunotherapy response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods

Based on the expression of PANoptosis-related genes, three molecular subtypes were identified. To construct a signature, the differentially expressed genes between different molecular subtypes were subjected to multivariate least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression analyses. The risk scores of patients in the training set were calculated using the signature. The patients were classified into high-risk and low-risk groups based on the median risk scores. The predictive performance of the signature was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier plotter, receiving operating characteristic curves, nomogram, and calibration curve. The results were validated using external datasets. Additionally, the correlation of the signature with the immune landscape and drug sensitivity was examined. Furthermore, the effect of LPCAT1 knockdown on HCC cell behavior was verified using in vitro experiments.

Results

This study developed a PANRS. The risk score obtained by using the PANRS was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with HCC and exhibited good prognostic predictive performance. The nomogram constructed based on the risk score and clinical information can accurately predicted the survival probability of patients with HCC. Patients with HCC in the high-risk groups have high immune scores and tend to generate an immunosuppressive microenvironment. They also exhibited a favorable response to immunotherapy, as evidenced by high tumor mutational burden, high immune checkpoint gene expression, high human leukocyte antigen gene expression, low tumor immune dysfunction and low exclusion scores. Additionally, the PANRS enabled the identification of 15 chemotherapeutic agents, including sorafenib, for patients with HCC with different risk levels, guiding clinical treatment. The signature gene LPCAT1 was upregulated in HCC cell lines. LPCAT1 knockdown markedly decreased HCC cell proliferation and migration.

Conclusion

PANRS can accurately predict the prognosis and immunotherapy response of patients with HCC and consequently guide individualized treatment.

Research progress and application of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology based on hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is now a common cause of cancer death, with no obvious change in patient survival over the past few years. Although the traditional therapeutic modalities for HCC patients mainly involved in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, which have achieved admirable achievements, challenges are still existed, such as drug resistance and toxicity. The emerging gene therapy of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated nuclease 9-based (CRISPR/Cas9), as an alternative to traditional treatment methods, has attracted considerable attention for eradicating resistant malignant tumors and regulating multiple crucial events of target gene-editing. Recently, advances in CRISPR/Cas9-based anti-drugs are presented at the intersection of science, such as chemistry, materials science, tumor biology, and genetics. In this review, the principle as well as statues of CRISPR/Cas9 technique were introduced first to show its feasibility. Additionally, the emphasis was placed on the applications of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in therapeutic HCC. Further, a broad overview of non-viral delivery systems for the CRISPR/Cas9-based anti-drugs in HCC treatment was summarized to delineate their design, action mechanisms, and anticancer applications. Finally, the limitations and prospects of current studies were also discussed, and we hope to provide comprehensively theoretical basis for the designing of anti-drugs.

Identifying Oxidized Lipid Metabolism-Related LncRNAs as Prognostic Biomarkers of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The relationship between oxidized lipid metabolism and the immunological function of cancer is well known. However, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs associated with oxidized lipid metabolism in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we established an oxidized lipid metabolism-related lncRNA prognostic signature to assess the prognosis and immune infiltration of HNSCC patients. The HNSCC transcriptome was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The choice of the target genes with a relevance score greater than 10 was performed via a correlation analysis by GeneCards. Patients were categorized by risk score and generated with multivariate Cox regression, which was then validated and evaluated using the Kaplan–Meier analysis and time-dependent receiver operating characteristics (ROC). A nomogram was constructed by combining the risk score with the clinical data. We constructed a risk score with 24 oxidized lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs. The areas’ 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS under the ROC curve (AUC) were 0.765, 0.724, and 0.724, respectively. Furthermore, the nomogram clearly distinguished the survival probabilities of patients in high- and low-risk groups, between which substantial variations were revealed by immune infiltration analysis. The results supported the fact that oxidized lipid metabolism-related lncRNAs might predict prognoses and assist with differentiating amid differences in immune infiltration in HNSCC.

MD Investigation on the Interaction between Carbamazepine and Two CYP Isoforms, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5

Carbamazepine (CBZ), a commonly prescribed antiepileptic drug, in human liver, is mainly metabolized by two isoforms of cytochrome P450 (CYP), CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Therefore, the binding of CBZ with these two enzymes plays crucial role in the biotransformation of the drug into its active metabolite. In the present work, classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used to investigate the detailed interaction mechanism between CBZ and these two CYP isoforms at the atomic level. The results revealed that although CBZ can bind with the two proteins, all kinds of the interactions, including hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, hydrophobic interaction, and π-π interaction, are isoform specific. The specificity directly leads to a binding environment difference at the active sites of the two isoforms, as represented by the electrostatic surface potential maps, which further results in the varied dynamic behavior of CBZ in the two isoforms. Our research will help to deepen the understanding of the physiological functions of CYP isoforms and opens the door for the rational design and development of isoform-specific inhibitors.

Blocking hepatocarcinogenesis by a cytochrome P450 family member with female-preferential expression

OBJECTS

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows an obvious male dominance in rodents and humans. We aimed to identify the key autosomal liver-specific sex-related genes and investigate their roles in hepatocarcinogenesis.

DESIGN

Two HCC cohorts (n=551) with available transcriptome and metabolome data were used. Class comparisons of omics data and ingenuity pathway analysis were performed to explore sex-related molecules and their associated functions. Functional assays were employed to investigate roles of the key candidates, including cellular assays, molecular assays and multiple orthotopic HCC mouse models.

RESULTS

A global comparison of multiple omics data revealed 861 sex-related molecules in non-tumour liver tissues between female and male HCC patients, which denoted a significant suppression of cancer-related diseases and functions in female liver than male. A member of cytochrome P450 family, CYP39A1, was one of the top liver-specific candidates with significantly higher levels in female vs male liver. In HCC tumours, CYP39A1 expression was dramatically reduced in over 90% HCC patients. Exogenous CYP39A1 significantly blocked tumour formation in both female and male mice and partially reduced the sex disparity of hepatocarcinogenesis. The HCC suppressor role of CYP39A1 did not rely on its known P450 enzyme activity but its C-terminal region, by which CYP39A1 impeded the transcriptional activation activity of c-Myc, leading to a significant inhibition of hepatocarcinogenesis.

CONCLUSIONS

The liver-specific CYP39A1 with female-preferential expression was a strong suppressor of HCC development. Strategies to up-regulate CYP39A1 might be promising methods for HCC treatment in both women and men in future.

Cytochrome P450 27C1 Level Dictates Lung Cancer Tumorigenicity and Sensitivity towards Multiple Anticancer Agents and Its Potential Interplay with the IGF-1R/Akt/p53 Signaling Pathway

Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) exert mighty catalytic actions in cellular metabolism and detoxication, which play pivotal roles in cell fate determination. Preliminary data shows differential expression levels of CYP27C1, one of the "orphan P450s" in human lung cancer cell lines. Here, we study the functions of CYP27C1 in lung cancer progression and drug endurance, and explore its potential to be a diagnostic and therapeutic target for lung cancer management. Quantitative real-time PCR and immunoblot assays were conducted to estimate the transcription and protein expression level of CYP27C1 in human lung cancer cell lines, which was relatively higher in A549 and H1975 cells, but was lower in H460 cells. Stable CYP27C1-knockdown A549 and H1975 cell lines were established, in which these cells showed enhancement in cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration. In addition, aberrant IGF-1R/Akt/p53 signal transduction was also detected in stable CYP27C1-knockdown human lung cancer cells, which exhibited greater tolerance towards the treatments of anticancer agents (including vinorelbine, picropodophyllin, pacritinib, and SKLB610). This work, for the first time, reveals that CYP27C1 impacts lung cancer cell development by participating in the regulation of the IGF-1R/Akt/p53 signaling pathway, and the level of CYP27C1 plays indispensable roles in dictating the cellular sensitivity towards multiple anticancer agents.

Downregulation of CYP39A1 Serves as a Novel Biomarker in Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Worse Clinical Outcome

Background

CYP39A1 is a poorly characterized metabolic enzyme that has been investigated in a few tumors. However, the role of CYP39A1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been clarified. In this study, the expression and clinical significance of CYP39A1 in HCC were explored.

Methods

CYP39A1 protein expression was detected in Akt/c-Met-induced HCC mice and 14 paired fresh HCC samples as well as another 159 HCC and matched noncancerous tissues. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression was analyzed by GEO and TCGA analysis and validated in 14 paired fresh HCC tissues. Furthermore, the relationships between CYP39A1 expression and clinicopathologic features as well as prognosis were analyzed. HCC cell growth changes were analyzed by cell viability assays after CYP39A1 overexpression and then validated after CYP39A1 knockout by DepMap database analysis.

Results

CYP39A1 protein expression was lower expressed in HCC mouse models, and its mRNA and protein expression were also downregulated in HCC compared with noncancerous liver tissues. Higher CYP39A1 expression was associated with well differentiation. Moreover, survival analysis indicated that lower CYP39A1 expression was associated with poorer overall survival. In addition, HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cell viability were inhibited after CYP39A1 overexpression. Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 proliferation screening indicated that knockout of CYP39A1 could promote HCC cell growth. Likewise, p-NF-κB and Nrf2 were suppressed after CYP39A1 overexpression. It is worth mentioning that total bile acid, total bilirubin, and direct bilirubin were significantly increased in the patients with low CYP39A1 expression.

Conclusions

Downregulation of CYP39A1 is associated with HCC carcinogenesis, tumor differentiation, and poor overall survival, suggesting that CYP39A1 may serve as a tumor suppressor gene and novel biomarker for HCC patients.

The Curious Case of the HepG2 Cell Line: 40 Years of Expertise

Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Representing such a dramatic impact on our lives, liver cancer is a significant public health concern. Sustainable and reliable methods for preventing and treating liver cancer require fundamental research on its molecular mechanisms. Cell lines are treated as in vitro equivalents of tumor tissues, making them a must-have for basic research on the nature of cancer. According to recent discoveries, certified cell lines retain most genetic properties of the original tumor and mimic its microenvironment. On the other hand, modern technologies allowing the deepest level of detail in omics landscapes have shown significant differences even between samples of the same cell line due to cross- and mycoplasma infection. This and other observations suggest that, in some cases, cell cultures are not suitable as cancer models, with limited predictive value for the effectiveness of new treatments. HepG2 is a popular hepatic cell line. It is used in a wide range of studies, from the oncogenesis to the cytotoxicity of substances on the liver. In this regard, we set out to collect up-to-date information on the HepG2 cell line to assess whether the level of heterogeneity of the cell line allows in vitro biomedical studies as a model with guaranteed production and quality.

The Curious Case of the HepG2 Cell Line: 40 Years of Expertise

Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Representing such a dramatic impact on our lives, liver cancer is a significant public health concern. Sustainable and reliable methods for preventing and treating liver cancer require fundamental research on its molecular mechanisms. Cell lines are treated as in vitro equivalents of tumor tissues, making them a must-have for basic research on the nature of cancer. According to recent discoveries, certified cell lines retain most genetic properties of the original tumor and mimic its microenvironment. On the other hand, modern technologies allowing the deepest level of detail in omics landscapes have shown significant differences even between samples of the same cell line due to cross- and mycoplasma infection. This and other observations suggest that, in some cases, cell cultures are not suitable as cancer models, with limited predictive value for the effectiveness of new treatments.
