【摘要】:肝癌發(fā)生一個(gè)是慢性的多因素、多步驟的復(fù)雜過(guò)程。HCC的發(fā)生通常與多種因素相關(guān):肝炎病毒的持續(xù)感染、長(zhǎng)期酒精攝取、長(zhǎng)期接觸致癌劑黃曲霉素等。此外,代謝疾病如糖尿病、肥胖也是肝癌發(fā)病的危險(xiǎn)因素。多項(xiàng)臨床流行病學(xué)研究證實(shí),大部分肝癌都是在慢性炎癥背景下發(fā)展而來(lái),通常經(jīng)由慢性肝病發(fā)展到肝纖維化、肝硬化,最后惡化形成肝癌。肝硬化病理背景為腫瘤形成提供了合適的細(xì)胞轉(zhuǎn)化環(huán)境。目前,肝癌發(fā)生特別是從慢性肝損傷惡性轉(zhuǎn)化導(dǎo)致的腫瘤形成的確切分子機(jī)制尚不完全清楚。Gankyrin是最早發(fā)現(xiàn)在肝癌中特異性高表達(dá)的癌基因。近年來(lái)的研究顯示,gankyrin還在其他包括膽管癌、腸癌、乳腺癌以及肺癌等多種惡性腫瘤中表達(dá)上調(diào)。Gankyrin在腫瘤相關(guān)的信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)中具有非常重要的調(diào)控作用。Gankyrin被證明可促進(jìn)RB蛋白的磷酸化降解,導(dǎo)致腫瘤細(xì)胞周期紊亂,促進(jìn)增殖;通過(guò)與MDM2相互作用,增加P53的泛素化降解,從而抑制腫瘤細(xì)胞凋亡。本實(shí)驗(yàn)室前期研究發(fā)現(xiàn)gankyrin直接結(jié)合RelA,促進(jìn)NF-κB出核,抑制其轉(zhuǎn)錄活性;通過(guò)激活PI3K/AKT信號(hào)以促進(jìn)肝癌的侵襲和轉(zhuǎn)移;通過(guò)抑制OCT4的降解進(jìn)而促進(jìn)腫瘤前體細(xì)胞的擴(kuò)增。雖然gankyrin在肝癌中已經(jīng)被廣泛研究,但大部分集中在肝癌的發(fā)展階段的功能,至于其對(duì)于肝癌發(fā)生的具體調(diào)控或者說(shuō)在肝癌發(fā)生時(shí)期是起始因素還是伴隨現(xiàn)象,這一點(diǎn)仍不十分清楚。結(jié)合以往的研究數(shù)據(jù),gankyrin不僅僅在肝癌階段高表達(dá),且在DEN誘導(dǎo)的大鼠肝癌發(fā)生過(guò)程的肝硬化階段出現(xiàn)表達(dá)升高,提示我們gankyrin在這一階段可能發(fā)揮某種調(diào)控作用。所以本研究課題將注意力集中在肝癌發(fā)生之前的肝損傷、肝纖維化、肝硬化階段,通過(guò)在肝臟特異性過(guò)表達(dá)gankyrin的轉(zhuǎn)基因小鼠基礎(chǔ)上構(gòu)建經(jīng)由慢性損傷、肝纖維化、肝硬化到肝癌的動(dòng)物模型,嘗試從體內(nèi)水平探索gankyrin對(duì)肝癌發(fā)生有無(wú)調(diào)控功能以及其內(nèi)在機(jī)制。實(shí)驗(yàn)方法1.臨床樣本檢測(cè)肝硬化臨床樣本中g(shù)ankyrin的蛋白表達(dá)水平。2.轉(zhuǎn)基因小鼠構(gòu)建:構(gòu)建由Albumin啟動(dòng)子連接gankyrin全長(zhǎng)cDNA以實(shí)現(xiàn)gankyrin的肝臟特異性過(guò)表達(dá)。3.DEN以及DEN聯(lián)合CCl4肝癌動(dòng)物模型構(gòu)建:小鼠出生后15天單次注射DEN后9個(gè)月后觀察肝癌形成情況;DEN處理聯(lián)合每周一次CCl4給藥,不同時(shí)間后觀察兩組之間腫瘤形成情況差異。4.CCl4單獨(dú)處理誘導(dǎo)纖維化及惡性轉(zhuǎn)化模型:每周3次CCl4注射持續(xù)16周,收取中間時(shí)間點(diǎn)樣品檢測(cè)肝損傷及纖維化相關(guān)指標(biāo)。5.機(jī)制探索:(1)不同時(shí)間點(diǎn)CCl4處理的野生對(duì)照和gankyrinhep小鼠肝臟樣品中檢測(cè)JNK及其他相關(guān)通路變化情況;CCl4處理后分選小鼠原代肝細(xì)胞檢測(cè)相關(guān)通路活化情況。(2)CCl4處理的小鼠肝臟組織樣品進(jìn)行Rac1激酶活性檢測(cè);免疫共沉淀檢測(cè)gankyrin對(duì)RhoGDIa與Rac1抑制性相互作用的影響。(3)CCl4處理的小鼠肝臟組織樣品進(jìn)項(xiàng)ROCK激酶活性檢測(cè);免疫共沉淀檢測(cè)gankyrin對(duì)RhoGDIa與RhoA相互作用的影響。(4)對(duì)CCl4處理小鼠同時(shí)給予Rac1抑制劑處理小鼠,檢測(cè)對(duì)JNK活性的調(diào)節(jié)。(5)對(duì)CCl4處理小鼠同時(shí)給予JNK抑制劑或Rac1抑制劑,檢測(cè)凋亡相關(guān)分子、肝纖維化以及炎癥因子分泌情況。(6)CCl4處理小鼠16周期間同時(shí)給予JNK抑制劑3個(gè)月,觀察肝臟腫瘤形成。實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果1.肝硬化臨床樣本中g(shù)ankyrin表達(dá)升高(P0.05)。2. DEN+CC14誘導(dǎo)肝癌形成過(guò)程中g(shù)ankyrinhep組的腫瘤數(shù)目和腫瘤大小均明顯高于野生對(duì)照組;同時(shí)肝纖維化在gankyrinhep組明顯加重;而DEN誘癌模型中,gankyrinhep組與野生對(duì)照組腫瘤形成情況無(wú)明顯差異。3.CCl4單獨(dú)處理16周后在gankyrinhep組有50%小鼠形成肝癌,而野生組未發(fā)生。4.CCl4單獨(dú)處理2周、4周和8周時(shí),gankyrinhep組的肝纖維化以及星狀細(xì)胞活性化均較野生組增強(qiáng);gankyrinhep組的肝臟損傷及炎癥反應(yīng)加重,同時(shí)代償性增殖明顯高于野生對(duì)照。5.短時(shí)間CCl4處理的gankyrinhep組肝細(xì)胞壞死和凋亡較野生對(duì)照加重。6.CCl4處理的gankyrinhep組呈現(xiàn)JNK通路相對(duì)野生對(duì)照組持續(xù)增強(qiáng)活化。7.CCl4處理的gankyrinhep組的Rac1激酶持續(xù)活化;而RhoA、ROCK活性下降;gankyrinhep組的RhoGDIl與RhoA結(jié)合減弱;Rac1抑制劑處理逆轉(zhuǎn)gankyrin對(duì)JNK持續(xù)激活。8.JNK抑制劑和Rac1抑制劑均能緩解CCl4引起的gankyrinhep組的細(xì)胞凋亡和炎癥因子分泌。9.JNK抑制劑可完全抑制長(zhǎng)期CCl4誘導(dǎo)的gankyrinhep組肝癌形成。結(jié)論本研究主要通過(guò)構(gòu)建不同類(lèi)型的肝癌模型,從動(dòng)物體內(nèi)水平證明gankyrin明顯促進(jìn)肝損傷劑CCl4誘導(dǎo)的肝纖維化以及肝癌發(fā)生;而對(duì)單獨(dú)DNA損傷劑DEN誘導(dǎo)的遺傳突變導(dǎo)致的肝癌發(fā)生沒(méi)有影響。這一點(diǎn)證明gankyrin促進(jìn)的肝癌發(fā)生與持續(xù)的損傷和炎癥微環(huán)境相關(guān)。Gangkyrin通過(guò)調(diào)節(jié)RhoGDI與RhoA的相互作用,下調(diào)RhoA的活性進(jìn)而增強(qiáng)Rac1活性,導(dǎo)致CCl4處理過(guò)程中JNK通路的持續(xù)活化,促進(jìn)肝損傷加重,炎癥反應(yīng)加強(qiáng),肝細(xì)胞代償性增殖加強(qiáng),肝纖維化加重并惡性轉(zhuǎn)化,最終導(dǎo)致肝癌形成。
[Abstract]:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a chronic, multifactorial, multistep, complex process. The occurrence of HCC is usually associated with a variety of factors: persistent hepatitis virus infection, long-term alcohol intake, long-term exposure to carcinogens such as aflatoxin. In addition, metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity is also a risk factor for liver cancer. Several clinical epidemiological studies have confirmed that Most hepatocellular carcinomas develop in the context of chronic inflammation, usually through chronic liver disease to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventually deterioration to form liver cancer. Gankyrin is the earliest oncogene to be found in hepatocellular carcinoma. Recent studies have shown that Gankyrin is up-regulated in many other malignant tumors, including cholangiocarcinoma, intestinal cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer. Gankyrin plays an important role in tumor-related signal transduction. Gankyrin has been shown to promote the phosphorylation and degradation of RB protein, lead to cell cycle disorder and promote proliferation; increase the ubiquitination and degradation of P53 by interacting with MDM2, thereby inhibiting tumor cell apoptosis. I3K/AKT signaling promotes invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma and promotes the proliferation of precursor cells by inhibiting the degradation of OCT4. Although Gankyrin has been extensively studied in hepatocellular carcinoma, most of it focuses on the function of hepatocellular carcinoma at the stage of development, and the specific regulation of hepatocellular carcinoma or the initiation of hepatocellular carcinoma at the stage of development. It is still unclear whether Gankyrin is a concomitant phenomenon. In combination with previous data, Gankyrin is not only overexpressed in the stage of hepatocellular carcinoma, but also elevated in the stage of cirrhosis in the process of hepatocarcinogenesis induced by DEN in rats, suggesting that Gankyrin may play a regulatory role in this stage. Focusing on liver injury, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis before hepatocarcinogenesis, the animal models from chronic injury, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis to hepatocarcinogenesis were constructed on the basis of transgenic mice with liver-specific overexpression of gankyrin. Methods 1. Detection of Gankyrin protein expression in clinical samples of cirrhosis. 2. Construction of transgenic mice: construction of a full-length Gankyrin cDNA linked by an Albumin promoter to achieve Gankyrin liver-specific overexpression. 3. Establishment of animal models of DEN and DEN combined with CCl4 liver cancer: 9 mice after a single injection of DEN 15 days after birth Hepatocellular carcinoma formation was observed after 6 months; DEN treatment combined with weekly CCl4 administration was used to observe the difference of tumor formation between the two groups after different time. 4. CCl4 treatment alone induced fibrosis and malignant transformation model: CCl4 injection three times a week for 16 weeks, collected samples at intermediate time points to detect liver injury and fibrosis-related indicators. 5. Mechanism exploration (1) The changes of JNK and other related pathways were detected in the liver samples of wild control and gankyrinhep mice treated with CCl4 at different time points, and the activation of related pathways was detected in the primary hepatocytes of mice treated with CCl4. (2) Rac1 kinase activity was detected in the liver samples of mice treated with CCl4, and gankyrinhep was detected by immunoprecipitation. (3) The activity of ROCK kinase was detected in CCl4 treated mice liver tissue samples; the effect of Gankyrin on the interaction between RhoGDIa and RhoA was detected by immunoprecipitation. (4) The mice treated with CCl4 were also treated with Rac1 inhibitor to detect the regulation of JNK activity. (5) The mice treated with CCl4 were treated with CCl4. At the same time, JNK inhibitor or Rac1 inhibitor were given to detect apoptosis-related molecules, hepatic fibrosis and inflammatory factor secretion. (6) CCl4 treated mice were given JNK inhibitor for 3 months at the same time for 16 weeks to observe liver tumor formation. Experimental results 1. Gankyrin expression in clinical samples of liver cirrhosis increased (P 0.05). 2. DEN + CC14 induced hepatocarcinogenesis. The number and size of tumors in the middle gankyrinhep group were significantly higher than those in the wild control group, and liver fibrosis was significantly aggravated in the gankyrinhep group, while there was no significant difference in tumor formation between the gankyrinhep group and the wild control group in the DEN induced cancer model. CCl4 treatment alone for 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks, gankyrinhep group of liver fibrosis and stellate cell activity were stronger than wild group; gankyrinhep group of liver injury and inflammation aggravated, while compensatory proliferation was significantly higher than wild control. 5. short-term CCl4 treatment of gankyrinhep group of liver cell necrosis and apoptosis than wild control. CCl4-treated gankyrinhep group showed sustained enhanced activation of the JNK pathway compared with the wild control group. 7. CCl4-treated gankyrinhep group showed sustained activation of Rac1 kinase; RhoA and ROCK activity decreased; Gankyrinhep-treated RhoGDIl and RhoA binding decreased; Rac1 inhibitor treatment reversed Gankyrin's sustained activation of JNK. 8. JNK inhibitors and Rac1 inhibitors. JNK inhibitor can completely inhibit the formation of hepatocellular carcinoma in gankyrinhep group induced by long-term CCl4. Conclusion Gankyrinhep can significantly promote the hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl4 in vivo by constructing different types of hepatocellular carcinoma models. Gankyrin promotes hepatocarcinogenesis by modulating the interaction between RhoGDI and RhoA, thereby increasing the activity of Rac1 and leading to CCl4. The continuous activation of JNK pathway promotes the aggravation of liver injury, inflammation, compensatory proliferation of hepatocytes, liver fibrosis and malignant transformation, leading to the formation of liver cancer.
