m6A-mediated lnc-OXAR promotes oxaliplatin resistance by enhancing Ku70 stability in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-related hepatocellular carcinoma.
Background: The escalating prevalence of metabolic diseases has led to a rapid increase in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC). While oxaliplatin (OXA)-based hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has shown promise in advanced-stage HCC patients, its efficacy in NASH-HCC remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of OXA-based HAIC and elucidate the mechanisms underlying OXA resistance in NASH-HCC.
Methods: The key lncRNAs were screened through RNA-seq analysis of NASH/non-NASH and OXA-sensitive/OXA-resistant (OXA-S/R) HCC tissues. The biological functions of the lnc-OXAR (OXA resistance-related lncRNA in NASH-HCC) in NASH-HCC were verified through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The molecular mechanism of lnc-OXAR was elucidated by fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (FISH), Immunoprecipitation-Mass Spectrometry (IP-MS), RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-Seq) and a dual-luciferase reporter assay.
Results: NASH-HCC exhibited reduced responsiveness to OXA-based HAIC compared to non-NASH HCC. We identified and validated a novel transcript namedlnc-OXAR, which played a crucial role in conferring OXA resistance to NASH-HCC. Inhibition of lnc-OXAR suppressed HCC cell growth and restored OXA sensitivity both in NASH-HCC mouse models and in vitro. Mechanistically, lnc-OXAR recruited Ku70 and cystatin A (CSTA), preventing Ku70 degradation and facilitating DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, thereby promoting OXA resistance in NASH-HCC. Additionally, WTAP-mediated m6A modification enhanced the stability of lnc-OXAR in an IGF2BP2-dependent manner. Notably, silencing lnc-OXAR significantly enhanced the response to OXA in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models derived from NASH-HCC.
Conclusions: The reduced responsiveness of NASH-HCC to OXA treatment can be attributed to the upregulation of lnc-OXAR. Our findings provide a rationale for stratifying HCC patients undergoing OXA-based HAIC based on etiology. Lnc-OXAR holds promise as a novel target for overcoming OXA resistance in NASH-HCC and improving prognosis.

The Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research is an esteemed peer-reviewed publication that focuses on cancer research, encompassing everything from fundamental discoveries to practical applications.
We welcome submissions that showcase groundbreaking advancements in the field of cancer research, especially those that bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical implementation. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of cancer, improve prevention and detection strategies, facilitate accurate diagnosis, and enhance treatment options.
We are particularly interested in manuscripts that shed light on the mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer, including metastasis. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore molecular alterations or biomarkers that can help predict the efficacy of different treatments or identify drug resistance. Translational research related to targeted therapies, personalized medicine, tumor immunotherapy, and innovative approaches applicable to clinical investigations are also of great interest to us.
We provide a platform for the dissemination of large-scale molecular characterizations of human tumors and encourage researchers to share their insights, discoveries, and methodologies with the wider scientific community.
By publishing high-quality research articles, reviews, and commentaries, the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research strives to contribute to the continuous improvement of cancer care and make a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
