Description

Application of GMFB (GMFB) as hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of diagnosis and treatment of cancers, and particularly relates to application of GMFB (GMFB) as a hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker.
Background
Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world and has the characteristics of rapid growth and strong invasiveness. Wherein the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, LIHC) accounts for 75-90% of the primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma is often secondary to chronic diseases, including chronic hepatocellular carcinoma such as hepatitis B, and systemic diseases such as obesity and metabolic syndrome. The high morbidity and mortality of the liver cell cancer brings huge financial and social burden to China.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is often associated with poor prognosis due to lack of sensitive early detection methods, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. At present, according to the monitoring guidelines for early diagnosis of HCC, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is mainly used clinically for early diagnosis of HCC. However, AFP is not ideal for HCC specificity or sensitivity. Approximately 40% of HCC patients have normal AFP levels, and especially for early HCC, the AFP detection is not sensitive enough. It has also been found that the AFP level is also elevated in some patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis in the clinic, and the specificity of AFP detection is not ideal enough. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find one or more markers to aid in the early diagnosis of HCC.
GMFB (collagen differentiation factor beta) is a colloid cell maturation factor with actin depolymerizing factor homology (ADF-H). The genes for this GMFB are highly conserved from yeast to mammals during evolution. Meanwhile, the protein is generally expressed, but is mainly enriched in brain tissues and participates in various biological activities such as chemotaxis, endocytosis, cell adhesion and the like of cells. At present, the research on GMFB and liver cell cancer is not available.

The invention provides application of a reagent for inhibiting the expression of a hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker in preparing a medicament for inhibiting the invasion capacity of hepatocyte liver cancer cells, wherein the hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker is GMFB.
The reagent for detecting the expression level of the hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker is applied to the preparation of a kit for early diagnosis of hepatocyte liver cancer, and the hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker is GMFB. According to the invention, a large amount of sequencing data and clinical data in a TCGA database are taken as research objects, and the expression quantity of GMFB in HCC patient groups is counted, and the result shows that GMFB is a significant differential expression gene of hepatocellular carcinoma, and the GMFB is related to the onset of HCC, so that the GMFB can be used for assisting the early diagnosis of the hepatocellular carcinoma. Meanwhile, since the TCGA database contains information on thirty kinds of tumors and detailed data of tens of thousands of samples, a large number of samples increase the reliability of analysis results.
Furthermore, the invention also specifically limits the RNA expression level of the GMFB to be used as a marker molecule for diagnosing the liver cancer of the liver cells. The statistical result shows that once the TPM of the GMFB in the liver tissue is higher than 12.07, the patient is very likely to suffer from the hepatocellular carcinoma, so that the early hepatocellular carcinoma can be jointly targeted to the morbidity of the hepatocellular carcinoma by combining other diagnostic means.
The invention provides application of a reagent for detecting the expression level of a hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker in preparation of a kit for grading and/or staging hepatocyte liver cancer, wherein the hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker is GMFB. By analyzing the expression quantity of GMFB in different grades and stages of HCC in the TCGA database, the invention makes clear that GMFB not only is relevant to the morbidity of HCC, but also has stronger relevance to the grades and stages of HCC. Meanwhile, since the TCGA database contains information on thirty kinds of tumors and detailed data of tens of thousands of samples, a large number of samples increase the reliability of analysis results.
Furthermore, the invention specifically defines the judgment standard of grading and staging of the liver cell and the liver cancer, the grading and staging of GMFB and HCC show obvious positive correlation, and the grading and staging of patients can be judged clinically according to the median: in the course of staging of hepatocellular carcinoma, samples from 50 normal populations, 168 stage 1, 84 stage 2, 82 stage3 and six stage4 were used, with median GMFB TPM 6.04, 11.056, 11.233, 12.515 and 12.812, respectively. In the process of grading liver cancer, samples of 50 normal people, samples of 54 grade 1, samples of 173 grade 2, samples of 118 grade 3 and samples of 12 grade 4 are used, and the median of GMFB TPM is 6.04, 10.824, 11.684, 13.588 and 9.358 respectively. Of these, stage4 and grade 4 were not statistically significantly different because the number of cases was small as the patients entered the terminal stage.
The invention provides application of a reagent for detecting the expression quantity of a hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker in preparing a kit for evaluating prognosis of hepatocyte liver cancer, wherein the hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker is GMFB. The invention analyzes the prognosis of different expression levels of GMFB of HCC patients in a TCGA database, and the result shows that the expression level of the GMFB is obviously related to the prognosis of the HCC patients. Meanwhile, since the TCGA database contains information on thirty kinds of tumors and detailed data of tens of thousands of samples, a large number of samples increase the reliability of analysis results.
Furthermore, the invention particularly defines that the prognosis evaluation about the liver cell liver cancer is more applicable to male patients. The range of probe expression in the data was 434-5082, and the CUTOFF value used in the assay was 1481. Median survival in low expressing patients was 82.9 months and median survival in high expressing patients was 46.2 months, the difference was statistically significant (P ═ 0.0042). Analysis of 246 male patients showed that the expression level of GMFB was significantly correlated with the prognosis of male patients. The range of probe expression in the data was 434-5082, and the CUTOFF value used in the assay was 1958. Median survival for low expressing patients was 84.7 months and median survival for high expressing patients was 36.3 months, with the difference statistically significant (P ═ 0.00014). Therefore, the GMFB has great application value to the liver cell cancer, especially in male patients.
The invention provides application of a reagent for inhibiting the expression of a hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker in preparing a medicament for preventing and/or treating hepatocyte liver cancer or inhibiting the invasion capacity of hepatocyte liver cancer cells, wherein the hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker is GMFB protein. The results of Transwell experiments prove that the invasion capacity of hepatoma cells can be obviously reduced by knocking down GMFB. Therefore, GMFB is a potential therapeutic target for use in the prevention and/or treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The application of GMFB as a hepatocyte liver cancer biomarker is described in detail with reference to the following examples, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
Example 1
GMFB TPM (Transcripts Per Million) analysis was performed on RNA-seq data of hepatocellular carcinoma tissues of 50 normal persons and 371 patients with whole hepatocellular carcinoma in the TCGA database using the UALCAN website (http:// UALCAN. path. uab. edu/index. html.) [ see documents 1,2,3 ].
The result shows that the GMFB is highly expressed in the liver cell and liver cancer tissue. The GMFB TPM median of the normal population is 6.04, the upper quartile is 8.012, and the lower quartile is 5.021. The GMFB TPM group of the hepatoma patients has a median of 12.07, an upper quartile of 17.524 and a lower quartile of 8.123. The Student's t test shows that the difference is statistically significant (P1.62436730732907E-12), so the RNA expression level of the GMFB can be used as a marker molecule for diagnosing the hepatocellular carcinoma, and once the TPM of the GMFB in liver tissues is higher than 12.07, the patient is very likely to suffer from the hepatocellular carcinoma.
FIG. 1 shows that GMFB is highly expressed in various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma, so the RNA expression level of GMFB can be used as a marker molecule for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Example 2
The prognosis of different expression levels of GMFB from 364 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in the TCGA database was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier Plotter (https:// kmplot. com/analysis /) [ see reference 4 ].
The amount of GMFB expression was significantly correlated with the prognosis of HCC patients. The expression range of the probes in the data was 434-5082, and the CUTOFF value used in the analysis was 1481. Median survival in low expressing patients was 82.9 months and median survival in high expressing patients was 46.2 months, the difference was statistically significant (P ═ 0.0042). Then, 246 male patients were analyzed. The expression level of GMFB was found to have a more significant correlation with the prognosis of male patients. The expression range of the probes in the data was 434-5082, and the CUTOFF value used in the analysis was 1958. Median survival for low expressing patients was 84.7 months and median survival for high expressing patients was 36.3 months, with the difference statistically significant (P ═ 0.00014). Therefore, the GMFB has great application value to the liver cell cancer, especially in male patients.
Fig. 2 shows that both median survival and overall survival of GMFB-highly expressed hepatocellular carcinoma patients are significantly lower than those of GMFB-lowly expressed hepatocellular carcinoma patients, and have statistical significance (P ═ 0.0042), so that GMFB is significantly correlated with prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients, and can be used as a marker factor for hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis.
The result of fig. 3 shows that GMFB is significantly correlated with the prognosis of the patient with the male hepatocellular carcinoma and can be used as a marker factor for the prognosis of the male hepatocellular carcinoma. In the male liver cell cancer patient, the median survival month number of the GMFB low expression is 84.7, and the survival month number of the GMFB high expression group is 36.3.
Example 3
TPM analysis of GMFB in different grades and stages of hepatocellular carcinoma in TCGA database was performed using UALCAN website (http:// UALCAN. path. uab. edu/index. html).
In the process of analyzing the stage of the hepatocellular carcinoma, samples of 50 normal people, 168 stage 1, 84 stage 2, 82 stage3 and six stage4 are randomly selected, and the median of GMFB TPM is 6.04, 11.056, 11.233, 12.515 and 12.812 respectively. In the process of grading and analyzing the hepatocellular carcinoma, a sample of 50 normal people, a sample of 54 grade 1, a sample of 173 grade 2, a sample of 118 grade 3 and a sample of 12 grade 4 are randomly selected, and the median of GMFB TPM is 6.04, 10.824, 11.684, 13.588 and 9.358 respectively. Of these, stage4 and grade 4 were not statistically significantly different because the number of cases was small as the patients entered the terminal stage.
Fig. 4 and fig. 5 show that the expression level of GMFB is significantly related to the grade and clinical stage of hepatocellular carcinoma, i.e., GMFB can be used as a marker molecule for clinical grade and stage of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. The invention makes clear that GMFB is not only relevant to the onset of HCC, but also shows obvious positive correlation with the grading and the stage of HCC, and the grading and the stage of a patient can be judged according to median in clinic.

Matrigel gel was dissolved overnight in a 4 ℃ freezer and diluted with serum-free high-sugar DMEM stored in a 4 ℃ freezer. 100 μ l was dropped into the upper chamber of a 24-well transwell and incubated at 37 ℃ for 6 h. The gel was gently rinsed with serum free high sugar medium using a 200 μ l pipette. Cells from the control group (scrambletransfection for 24h) and the experimental group (HEP 3B transfection for 24h from Si-GMFB) were discarded in culture medium, washed 3 times with PBS, cell suspension was obtained by trypsinization, centrifuged and resuspended in serum-free high-sugar DMEM. Cell number was determined using COUNTSTAR at 5X 105cells/ml 200. mu.l of cell suspension was added to TRANSWELL in the upper chamber. The lower chamber of TRANWELL was charged with 1ml of high glucose DMEM containing 10% serum. The culture was returned to the incubator and continued for 24 hours. The remaining non-invasive cells on the upper chamber were gently wiped off with a cotton swab. Take out tCells were fixed with-20 ℃ pre-chilled methanol for 10min in ranswells, washed three times with PBS, 1ml of 0.1% crystal violet solution was added to each well, the chamber was placed in it, removed after 10min, and rinsed three times with PBS. 4 visual fields of upper, lower, left and right sides are taken for photographing and analysis.
Figure 6A demonstrates the knockdown of GMFB at the RNA level and figure 6B demonstrates the knockdown of GMFB at the protein level. In HEP3B cells, the knockdown of GMFB remarkably reduces the invasion capacity of the cells, and the GMFB is proved to be a potential target point for treating liver cancer of liver cells.
From the above examples, it can be seen that GMFB has high expression level of RNA and protein level in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, and the expression level thereof has a positive correlation with the disease classification and staging. In addition, the prognosis of the liver cancer patient with low GMFB expression is obviously better than that of the patient with high GMFB expression, and the difference is especially obvious in male patients. Meanwhile, the invention also verifies that the invasion capacity of cancer cells can be obviously inhibited by reducing the expression quantity of the GMFB gene of the hepatocellular carcinoma, so that the GMFB can be used as a potential target spot for treating the hepatocellular carcinoma.
