Abstract
The molecular events during non-genotoxic carcinogenesis and their temporal order are poorly understood but thought to include long-lasting perturbations of gene expression. Here, we have investigated the temporal sequence of molecular and pathological perturbations at early stages of phenobarbital-mediated liver tumor promotion in vivo. Molecular profiling (mRNA, miRNA, DNA methylation & proteins) of mouse liver during 13 weeks of phenobarbital treatment revealed progressive increases in hepatic expression of long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs originating from the Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted gene cluster, a locus that has recently been associated with stem cell pluripotency in mice and various neoplasms in humans. Phenobarbital-induction of the Dlk1-Dio3 cluster non-coding RNA Meg3 was localised to glutamine synthetase positive hypertrophic perivenous hepatocytes suggesting a role for β-catenin signaling in the dysregulation of Dlk1-Dio3 non-coding RNAs. The carcinogenic relevance of Dlk1-Dio3 locus non-coding RNA induction was further supported by in vivo genetic dependence on Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) and β-catenin pathways. Our data identify Dlk1-Dio3 non-coding RNAs as novel candidate early biomarkers for mouse liver tumor promotion and provide new opportunities for assessing the carcinogenic potential of novel compounds.
