Functional characterization of target genes within causal genomic loci of hepatocellular carcinoma. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2011 (has links)
Amplification of chr.1 q21-22 is also an aberration frequently detected in HCC. Copy number gains of the GEF-H1 gene ranked the most frequent event from array-CGH. GEF-H1 up-regulation was significant correlated in patients with advanced HCC staging (P = 0.048), presence of micro-vascular invasion (P = 0.049) and shorter overall and disease free survival of patients (P < 0.03). Similar to BOP1, functional examinations of GEF-H1 suggested profound inhibitory effects on cell motility ( P < 0.035) and invasiveness (P < 0.003) in cell lines studied. Upon GEF-H1 depletion, re-expression of epithelial markers (E-cadherin, cytokeratin 18, alpha-catenin and gamma-catenin) and down-regulations of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, fibronectin and vimentin) were also readily observed. In addition, reduced active form of GTP-RhoA together with its downstream effectors including cleaved ROCK 1 and phosphorylated MLC2 were also found in GEF-H1 depleted cells. / Array-CGH also defined candidate proto-oncogenes within 2 causal amplified regions in HCC, chr.8q24 and chr.1q21-q22. In resolving affected genes at chr.8q24, distinctive gains of BOP1 was further established in primary HCC tumors, where frequent BOP1 up-regulations in tumors compared to adjacent non-tumoral liver (P < 0.0001) was identified. Increased BOP1 expression correlated with advanced HCC staging (P = 0.004), micro-vascular invasion (P = 0.006) and shorter overall and disease free survival of patients (P < 0.02). siRNA-mediated suppression of BOP1 in HCC cell lines showed significant inhibition on cell invasion (P < 0.003) and migration (P < 0.05), whereas overexpression of BOP1 in immortalized hepatocyte cell line, L02, showed increase cellular invasiveness and cell migratory rate (P < 0.0001). Evident regression of the Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) phenotype was readily identified in BOP1 knockdown cells, where re-expressions of epithelial markers (E-cadherin, cytokeratin 18 and gamma-catenin) and down-regulation of mesenchymal markers (fibronectin and vimentin) were found. It was found that BOP1 likely stimulates actin stress fibers assembly through RhoA activation. / Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant tumor that is associated with a high incidence of cancer morbidity and mortality. Elucidation of genomic aberrations of HCC holds much importance in understanding the molecular basis that underlies the disease causation and progression. Extensive research on HCC has by now revealed a number of key genomic aberrations but, for most of these loci, the underlying cancer-related gene(s) remains unknown. / In this thesis, array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) was deployed to define target genes within HCC-associated chromosomal regions. The first part of my study focused on mapping the homozygous deletions (HDs) in HCC. Though infrequent, HD screening has been widely utilized to define tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) in cancers. A panel of HCC cell lines was systematically examined for the presence of HDs. Array-CGH identified 6 HD regions, amongst which CRYL1 (located on chr.13q12.11) displayed most common down-regulations in primary HCC tumors. Significant associations could also be drawn between repressed CRYL1 and advanced tumor staging, increased tumor size and shorter disease-free patient survival (P ≤ 0.037). Moreover, HD on CRYL1 could be detected in 36% of HCC cases with CRYL1 down-regulations. Examination of other inactivating mechanisms suggested histone deacetylation and promoter hypermethylation to be likely inactivating events as well. Re-expression of CRYL1 in SK-HEP1 cell line induced profound inhibition on cellular proliferation and cell growth (P ≤ 0.002). By Annexin V staining, CRYL1 restoration readily increased pro-apoptotic cells with an induction of P ARP cleavage. Flow cytometry further revealed CRYL1 could prolong the G2-M phase, possibly through interrupting the Cdc2/cyclin B path. / The similarities in functional behaviours of BOP1 and GEF-H1 might have implications in the fundamental biology of HCC tumorigenesis. It is known that HCC is a highly aggressive tumor often associated with intra- and extra-hepatic metastasis. The finding of 2 causal changes to be closely associated with cell migration and invasiveness may have implications in the metastatic potentials of HCC cells being predisposed earlier on from genomic events. / Cheng, Kit Chong Ibis. / Adviser: Nathalie Wong. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-06, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2011. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 177-190). / Electronic reproduction.
