Title Loss of RNF43/ZNRF3 predisposes to Hepatocellular carcinoma by impairing liver regeneration and altering liver fat metabolism
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary The homologous E3 ubiquitin ligases RNF43/ZNRF3 negatively regulate WNT signalling activation. Recently, both genes have been found mutated in several types of cancers. Specifically, loss-of-function mutations result in adenoma formation in mouse small intestine. However, their role in liver pathology and cancer has not been explored yet. Here, we describe that hepatocyte-specific deletion of Rnf43/Znrf3 results in altered lipid metabolism and steatohepatitis, in the absence of exogenous dietary fat supplementation, with a remarkable increase in unsaturated lipids. Upon liver injury, Rnf43/Znrf3 deletion results in impaired hepatocyte regeneration and liver cancer, subsequent to an imbalance between differentiation and proliferation. Using three different liver organoid models (hepatocyte-, hepatoblast- and ductal cell-derived organoids) we demonstrate that the hepatocyte differentiation defects and the lipid metabolic alterations are, at least in part, cell-autonomous. Remarkably, hepatocellular carcinoma patients with mutations in either or both genes or in other WNT pathway components also present altered hepatic lipid metabolism and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) profiles. Our findings imply that hyperactivation of WNT signaling through the RNF43/ZNRF3 module predisposes to liver cancer by impairing hepatocyte differentiation and altering the lipid metabolic ground-state of the liver. Both mechanisms combined facilitate the progression towards malignancy. Our findings might aid on the management of those RNF43/ZNRF3 or WNT mutated individuals at risk of developing fatty liver and/or liver cancer.
