- the invention provides a method of determining an HCC subtype in a subject comprising a) obtaining a sample from the subject, b) analyzing the sample for the expression of 1 or more biomarkers, and c) correlating the expression of the 1 or more biomarkers with the subtype of HCC in the subject.
- the expression of the biomarkers may be decreased or increased relative to normal control.
- the biomarkers are identified by SEQ ID NOs: 1-39 (see Table 1). In the inventive method, it is preferred that 2 or more, 5 or more, 10 or more, 15 or more, 20 or more, 25 or more, 30 or more, or 35 or more biomarkers are analyzed. More preferably, all 39 biomarkers are analyzed.
- the biomarkers identified by SEQ ID NOs: 1-19 are analyzed.
- the biomarkers identified by SEQ ID NOs: 2, 9-17, and 19-35 are analyzed.
- the biomarkers identified by SEQ ED NOs: 1-8, 11-13, 17-18, 23, 28-29, and 33-39 are analyzed.
- the biomarkers identified by SEQ ID NOs: 1, 8-12, 14- 17, and 19-39 are analyzed.
- HCC stem cells are associated with (i.e., they express) the mir-181 family of miRNA biomarkers, particularly, mir- 181 a 1 , mir- 181 a2, mir- 181 b 1 , mir- 181 b2 , and mir- 181c, and that presence of HCC stem cells in a sample are indicative of the HSC-HCC subtype, which is associated with poor prognosis.
- the invention provides a method of detecting the presence of HCC stem cells in a sample comprising a) obtaining a sample, b) assaying the sample to detect the presence of a mir-181 biomarker, and c) correlating the presence or absence of the mir-181 biomarker with the presence or absence of the HCC stem cell in the sample.
- EpCAM+AFP+ HCC stem cells may be detected by any suitable methods, e.g., immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, frozen activator cell sorting, side population methods, cell surface marker detection methods or in situ hybridization.
- the cell-permeable DNA- binding dye Hoechst 33342 is loaded into the cell population of interest; stem cells and early progenitors subsequently pump this dye out via an ATP -binding cassette membrane pump- dependent mechanism, resulting in a low-fluorescence "tail" when the cells are analyzed by flow cytometry.
- the method further comprises correlating the presence of the HCC stem cell in the sample with presence of HSC-HCC subtype in the sample.
- the detection of HCC stem cells in a sample may allow for earlier detection of the HSC-HCC subtype in a subject and thus lead to a greater likelihood of successful treatment and survival.
- biomarkers is used interchangeably with “miRNA” and refers to those biomarkers associated with HCC, which include at least the 39 biomarkers in Table 1.
- some (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 35) or all 39 of the biomarkers may be detected.
- at least 2 or more, more preferably at least 5 or more biomarkers are detected.
- the biomarker may be one or more of mir-18 IaI, mir-18 Ia2, mir-18 IbI, mir-181b2, and mir-18 Ic, preferably.
- some (i.e., 1, 2, 3, or 4) or all 5 of the mir-181 biomarkers are detected.
- RNA molecules are then separated by gel electrophoresis on agarose gels according to standard techniques, and transferred to nitrocellulose filters by, e.g., the so-called "Northern" blotting technique. The RNA is then immobilized on the filters by healing. Detection and quantification of specific RNA is accomplished using appropriately labeled DNA or RNA probes complementary to the RNA in question. See, for example, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, J. Sambrook et al., eds., 2nd edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989, Chapter 7, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
- the nucleic acid probe can be labeled with, e.g., a radionuclide such as 3 H, 32 P, 33 P, 14 C, or 35 S; a heavy metal; or a ligand capable of functioning as a specific binding pair member for a labeled ligand (e.g., biotin, avidin or an antibody), a fluorescent molecule, a chemiluminescent molecule, an enzyme or the like.
- Probes can be labeled to high specific activity by either the nick translation method of Rigby et al, /. MoI. B iol. , 113 :237-251 ( 1977) or by the random priming method of Fienberg, Anal.
- the latter can be a method for synthesizing 32 P-labeled probes of high specific activity from RNA templates. For example, by replacing preexisting nucleotides with highly radioactive nucleotides according to the nick translation method, it is possible to prepare 32 P-labeled nucleic acid probes with a specific activity well in excess of 10 s cpm/microgram. Autoradiographic detection of hybridization can then be performed by exposing hybridized filters to photographic film. Densitometric scanning of the photographic films exposed by the hybridized filters provides an accurate measurement of biomarker levels. Using another approach, biomarker levels can be quantified by computerized imaging systems, such the Molecular Dynamics 400-B 2D Phosphorimager (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, N.J).
- the random- primer method can be used to incorporate an analogue, for example, the dTTP analogue 5-(N- (N-biotinyl-epsilon-aminocaproyl)-3-aminoallyl)deoxyuridine triphosphate, into the probe molecule.
- analogue for example, the dTTP analogue 5-(N- (N-biotinyl-epsilon-aminocaproyl)-3-aminoallyl)deoxyuridine triphosphate
- the biotinylated probe oligonucleotide can be detected by reaction with biotin- binding proteins, such as avidin, streptavidin, and antibodies (e.g., anti-biotin antibodies) coupled to fluorescent dyes or enzymes that produce color reactions.
- determining the levels of RNA expression can be accomplished using the technique of in situ hybridization.
- This technique requires fewer cells than the Northern blotting technique, and involves depositing whole cells onto a microscope cover slip and probing the nucleic acid content of the cell with a solution containing radioactive or otherwise labeled nucleic acid (e.g., cDNA or RNA) probes.
- This technique is particularly well-suited for analyzing tissue biopsy samples from subjects.
- the practice of the in situ hybridization technique is described in more detail in U.S. Patent No. 5,427,916, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the relative number of mi-RNAs in a sample can also be determined by reverse transcription, followed by amplification of the reverse-transcribed transcripts by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
- RT-PCR polymerase chain reaction
- the levels of RNA transcripts can be quantified in comparison with an internal standard, for example, the level of mRNA from a standard gene present in the same sample.
- a suitable gene for use as an internal standard includes, e.g., myosin or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH).
- G3PDH glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
- an oligolibrary in microchip format may be constructed containing a set of probe oligonucleotides specific for a set of biomarker genes.
- the oligolibrary may contain probes corresponding to all known biomarkers from the human genome.
- the microchip oligolibrary may be expanded to include additional miRNAs as they are discovered.
- the microchip is prepared from gene-specific oligonucleotide probes generated from known miRNAs.
- the array may contain two different oligonucleotide probes for each miRNA, one containing the active sequence and the other being specific for the precursor of the miRNA.
- the array may also contain controls such as one or more mouse sequences differing from human orthologs by only a few bases, which can serve as controls for hybridization stringency conditions.
- tRNAs from both species may also be printed on the microchip, providing an internal, relatively stable positive control for specific hybridization.
- One or more appropriate controls for non-specific hybridization may also be included on the microchip. For this purpose, sequences are selected based upon the absence of any homology with any known miRNAs.
- the microchip may be fabricated by techniques known in the art. For example, probe oligonucleotides of an appropriate length, e.g., 20 nucleotides, are 5'-amine modified at position C6 and printed using suitable available microarray systems, e.g., the GENEMACHINE OmniGrid 100 Microarrayer and Amersham CODELINK activated slides. Labeled cDNA oligomer corresponding to the target RNAs is prepared by reverse transcribing the target RNA with labeled primer. Following first strand synthesis, the RNA/DNA hybrids are denatured to degrade the RNA templates. The labeled target cDNAs thus prepared are then hybridized to the microarray chip under hybridizing conditions, e.g.
- the labeled cDNA oligomer is a biotin-labeled cDNA, prepared from a biotin- labeled primer.
- microarray is then processed by direct detection of the biotin-containing transcripts using, e.g., Streptavidin-Alexa647 conjugate, and scanned utilizing conventional scanning methods. Image intensities of each spot on the array are proportional to the abundance of the corresponding biomarker in the subject sample.
- the use of the array has one or more advantages for miRNA expression detection.
- the relatively limited number of miRNAs allows the construction of a common microarray for several species, with distinct oligonucleotide probes for each. Such a tool would allow for analysis of trans- species expression for each known biomarker under various conditions.
- the subject may be a human or animal presenting with symptoms of HCC.
- the subject is a human.
- the subject may or may not also have hepatitis B virus or cirrhosis (such as alcohol induced, primary biliary cirrhosis, genetic haemchromatosis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis).
- the HCC may be a solitary tumor, multinodular tumor, and/or a metastatic lesion.
- the sample obtained from the subject may be liver tissue, which can be tumor tissue or normal tissue. Alternatively, the sample may be from the subject's serum or plasma, frozen biopsy tissue, paraffin embedded biopsy tissue, and combinations thereof.
- the invention further provides a method for determining the prognosis of a subject by determining whether the subject has the HSC HCC, BDE-HCC, HP-HCC, or MH- HCC subtype.
- the inventive method of prognosis may be utilized in lieu of current methods of prognosis. Alternatively, the inventive method may be utilized in conjunction with conventional methods of prognosis.
- the traditional prognostic approaches may include spiral computed tomography (CT) of the liver and thorax, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast enhancement or angiography with lipiodol injection, and biopsy, as well as current staging systems.
- CT computed tomography
- MRI magnetic resonance imaging
- contrast enhancement or angiography with lipiodol injection may include biopsy, as well as current staging systems.
- the method further provides a treatment regimen that may be devised for the subject on the basis of the HCC subtype in the subject.
- the inventive method allows for a more personalized approach to medicine as the aggressiveness of treatment may be tailored to the subtype of HCC in the subject.
- the invention takes advantage of the association between the biomarkers and the HCC subtypes. Accordingly, the invention provides methods of treatment comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising a reagent comprising nucleic acid complementary to at least one of the biomarkers associated with HSC-HCC, BDE-HCC, HP-HCC, or MH-HCC. [0062] In another embodiment, the invention takes advantage of the association between the mir-181 biomarkers and HCC stem cells in order to determine the HCC subtype in a subject and, optionally, correlate the HCC-subtype in the patient with a prognosis.
- the mir- 181 biomarkers are associated with the hepatic stem cell-like (HSC) HCC subtype, which is EpCAM and AFP positive.
- EpCAM is a transmembrane protein containing three extracellular domains and one cytoplasmic domain.
- the function of EpCAM and the regulatory mechanism of its expression are largely unknown but are thought to involve cell- cell adhesion (Winter, Exp. Cell. Res., 285(1): 50-58 (2003)).
- EpCAM and AFP are not expressed in mature liver tissue.
- the HSC HCC subtype typically has a poor prognosis and survival outcome (Lee, Hepatology, 40(3): 667-676 (2004); Lee, Nat. Med., 12(4): 410-416 (2006)).
- the invention provides a method of determining whether the HCC detected is the HSC HCC subtype.
- the determination of the HCC subtype is particularly useful in determining the appropriate treatment for the subject, particularly because the EPCAM+ AFP+ HCC is associated with Wnt- ⁇ -catenin signaling.
- Wnt- ⁇ -catenin signaling is critical for maintaining the function of stem cells and abnormal activation has been linked to many human cancers, including HCC.
- the mir-181s can contribute Wnt- ⁇ -catenin signaling activation, possibly through Dickkoph-1 (i.e., DKlKl) and nemo-like kinase (i.e., NLK), which are inhibitors of the Wnt- ⁇ -catenin pathway.
- the invention takes advantage of the regulatory link between mir-181s and HCC stem cells, and provides methods of prognosis, and treatment based thereon.
- Treatment options may include traditional treatments as well as gene therapy approaches that specifically target the miRNAs described herein.
- Traditional treatment of HCC includes, for example, percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), radiofrequency ablation, chemoembolisation, and chemotherapy. Treatment is determined based on the status of the subject and guidelines are known in the art. (See for example, Ryder, Gut, 52: 1-8 (2003)).
- the invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions for use in the inventive treatment methods.
- the invention provides a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a reagent comprising a nucleic acid or nucleic acids complementary to at least one, preferably at least two of the biomarkers selected from those identified by SEQ ID NOs: 1-39 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- the reagent may comprise nucleic acids complementary to at least 5 or more, 10 or more, 15 or more, 20 or more, 25 or more, 30 or more, or 35 or more of the biomarkers.
- the reagent may comprise only the nucleic acids or the nucleic acids in combination with delivery reagents such as recombinant plasmids, viral vectors, liposomes, etc.
- the composition comprises nucleic acids complementary to the biomarkers identified by SEQ ID NOs: 1-19, even more preferably, the composition comprises nucleic acids complementary to mir-181al, mir-181a2, mir-181bl, mir-181b2, and mir-181c, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- the composition comprises nucleic acids complementary to at least one, preferably at least 2 biomarkers identified by SEQ ID NOs: 2, 9-17, and 19-35, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- the composition comprises nucleic acids complementary to at least one, preferably at least two biomarkers identified by SEQ ID NOs: 1-8, 11-13, 17-18, 23, 28, 29, and 33-39, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- the composition comprises nucleic acids complementary to at least one, preferably to at least two biomarkers identified by SEQ ID NOs: 1, 8-12, 14-17, and 19-39, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
