项目摘要

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer–related deaths worldwide, mainly because of its poor prognosis. A valid and reliable mechanism-based prognostic biomarker is urgently needed. γ-Hydroxy-1,N2-propanodeoxyguanosine (γ-OHPdG) is an endogenous mutagenic DNA adduct derived from lipid peroxidation (LPO). We studied the relationship between hepatic γ-OHPdG and hepatocarcinogenesis in three animal models and the potential of γ-OHPdG to be used as a prognostic biomarker for recurrence in HCC patients after surgical resection. Tumor bioassays were conducted in Xeroderma pigmentosum group A knockout mice (Xpa-/-), diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-injected mice, and Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats, and all are prone to HCC development. We found that the increased γ-OHPdG levels in liver DNA correlated with HCC development in all three animal models. Furthermore, Theaphenon E treatment significantly decreased γ-OHPdG levels in the liver DNA of Xpa-/- mice, and this decrease was closely associated with its remarkable effect to reduce HCC incidence (from 100% to 14%). Theaphenon E also effectively inhibited HCC development in DEN-injected mice. Using two independent sets of clinical samples from 90 and 45 HCC patients, our studies demonstrated that higher levels of γ-OHPdG in HCC biopsy specimens, detected by immunohistochemical staining , are strongly associated with low survival (p<0.0001) and low recurrence-free survival (p=0.007), respectively. These results support γ- OHPdG as a promising biologically relevant biomarker for predicting the risk of HCC and its recurrence. In this proposal, we propose in Aim 1 to extend these exciting findings to include a larger patient population to further address questions on γ-OHPdG’s relationships with (1) the underlying etiology of HCC, e.g. HBV, HCV, alcoholic liver disease, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and (2) clinical predictors for aggressiveness, e.g. differentiation, HCC stage, vascular invasion, and extra-hepatic metastasis. We also want to compare its levels with those of the adjacent non-tumorous tissues and to examine the tumor mutation load. In Aims 2 and 3, we will develop a non-invasive method for detecting γ-OHPdG in human urine. Our hypothesis is that the adduct levels in urine reflect those in liver DNA. In Aim 4, we will conduct an intervention trial with Polyphenon E, an FDA approved equivalent of Theaphenon E, to prevent HCC recurrence in high risk patients identified with high liver γ-OHPdG. Our long-term goal is to develop γ-OHPdG as a prognostic biomarker for HCC and its recurrence for intervention trials.

肝细胞癌 (HCC) 是全球癌症相关死亡的第三大原因，主要是因为其预后不良。基于机制的预后有效且可靠。 γ-Hydroxy-1,N2-丙脱氧鸟苷 (γ-OHPdG) 是一种迫切需要的生物标志物。我们研究了源自脂质过氧化 (LPO) 的内源性诱变 DNA 加合物。三种动物模型中肝脏γ-OHPdG与肝癌发生的关系 γ-OHPdG 作为 HCC 患者复发的预后生物标志物的潜力手术切除后，对着色性干皮病 A 组进行肿瘤生物测定。基因敲除小鼠 (Xpa-/-)、注射二乙基亚硝胺 (DEN) 的小鼠和 Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) 大鼠，所有的大鼠都容易发生 HCC，我们发现 γ-OHPdG 增加。在所有三种动物模型中，肝脏 DNA 水平与 HCC 的发展相关。 Theaphenon E 处理显着降低 Xpa-/- 肝脏 DNA 中的 γ-OHPdG 水平小鼠中，这种减少与其显着降低 HCC 的效果密切相关 Theaphenon E 也能有效抑制 HCC 的发生（从 100% 降至 14%）。使用来自 90 例和 45 例 HCC 的两组独立的临床样本进行 DEN 注射。我们的研究表明，HCC 活检标本中的 γ-OHPdG 水平较高，通过免疫组织化学染色检测，与低存活率密切相关 (p<0.0001) 和低无复发生存率 (p=0.007)，这些结果分别支持 γ-。 OHPdG 作为一种有前途的生物学相关生物标志物，用于预测 HCC 及其风险在本提案中，我们在目标 1 中建议扩展这些令人兴奋的发现，以包括重复。更大的患者群体，以进一步解决 γ-OHPdG 与 (1) 关系的问题 HCC 的潜在病因，例如 HBV、HCV、酒精性肝病和非酒精性肝病脂肪性肝炎 (NASH) 和 (2) 侵袭性的临床预测因子，例如分化、HCC 我们还想将其水平与分期、血管侵犯和肝外转移进行比较。目的 2：检测邻近非肿瘤组织的肿瘤突变负荷。 3、我们将开发一种非侵入性检测人尿液中γ-OHPdG的方法。假设尿液中的加合物水平反映了肝脏 DNA 中的加合物水平。在目标 4 中，我们将进行。 Polyphenon E（FDA 批准的 Theaphenon E 等效物）的一项干预试验我们的长期方案可预防肝 γ-OHPdG 高水平的高危患者的 HCC 复发。目标是开发 γ-OHPdG 作为 HCC 及其复发的预后生物标志物干预试验。
