Proteogenomic Identification and Analysis of KIF5B as a Prognostic Signature for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Background: Metabolic disorders are significant risk factors for liver cancer, particularly Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular genetic basis of metabolic reprogramming in the liver remains largely uncertain.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate some novel prognostic biomarkers in HCC by using proteogenomic and transcriptomic analysis and explore the potential role of specific prognostic genes in HCC.
Methods: Here, we have presented a proteogenomic analysis of 10 pairs of HCC. Protein co-expression and pathway analysis were performed to investigate the biological characteristics of HCC. Protein and mRNA expression profiles of multi-cohorts were integrated to detect novel prognostic protein markers of HCC. The carcinogenic roles of candidate prognostic markers were further evaluated by MTS assay, colony formation, monolayer wound healing assay, and xenograft models.
Results: A total of 2086 proteins with significantly different expressions were detected in HCC. Pathways related to oncogenic signaling and insulin-related metabolism have been found to be dysregulated and differentially regulated in HCC. We have identified the novel prognostic biomarkers, KIF5B, involved in liver metabolic reprogramming. The biomarkers were identified using multivariable COX regression analysis from two independent proteomic datasets (Fudan Cohort and our recruited cohort) and the TCGA mRNA database. Both the protein and mRNA up-regulation of KIF5B have been found to be associated with a poor clinical outcome in HCC. Insulin activated the protein expression of KIF5B in HCC. Knocking out KIF5B expression by sgRNA decreased the protein expression of FASN and SCD1 and the intracellular triglyceride concentration. Silencing KIF5B suppressed HCC cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro, as well as HCC growth in xenograft models.
Conclusion: Our findings have suggested KIF5B protein to function as a novel prognostic biomarker in HCC. KIF5B expression has been found to activate the AKT/mTOR pathway and reprogram triglyceride metabolism, leading to HCC development. Targeting KIF5B may be an effective strategy in the clinical treatment of HCC.
期刊介绍:
Current Gene Therapy is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed journal aimed at academic and industrial scientists with an interest in major topics concerning basic research and clinical applications of gene and cell therapy of diseases. Cell therapy manuscripts can also include application in diseases when cells have been genetically modified. Current Gene Therapy publishes full-length/mini reviews and original research on the latest developments in gene transfer and gene expression analysis, vector development, cellular genetic engineering, animal models and human clinical applications of gene and cell therapy for the treatment of diseases.
Current Gene Therapy publishes reviews and original research containing experimental data on gene and cell therapy. The journal also includes manuscripts on technological advances, ethical and regulatory considerations of gene and cell therapy. Reviews should provide the reader with a comprehensive assessment of any area of experimental biology applied to molecular medicine that is not only of significance within a particular field of gene therapy and cell therapy but also of interest to investigators in other fields. Authors are encouraged to provide their own assessment and vision for future advances. Reviews are also welcome on late breaking discoveries on which substantial literature has not yet been amassed. Such reviews provide a forum for sharply focused topics of recent experimental investigations in gene therapy primarily to make these results accessible to both clinical and basic researchers. Manuscripts containing experimental data should be original data, not previously published.
