AbstractOncogenic activation of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway is common in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Dishevelled (DvI), a key activator of the pathway, inhibits the adenomatous polyposis coli complex, and this leads to the accumulation of β-catenin and promotes tumorigenesis. Recently, a novel inhibitor of Dishevelled, namely Dapper (Dpr), was isolated in Xenopus. To explore whether HDPR1, the human homologue of Dpr, has an anti-oncogenic role in hepatocarcinogenesis, we studied the expression of this gene in HCCs. We found that there were two alternatively spliced transcripts of HDPR1, designated as α and β forms, in human liver. Downregulation of the gene expression was observed in 31 (43%) of the 72 human HCC samples using the primer pair that amplified both transcripts. Furthermore, the HDPR1α was down-regulated in 42 (58%) of 72 human HCCs and the downregulation significantly correlated with accumulation of β-catenin. Also, downregulation of HDPR1 by RNA interference in HLE cells led to cytoplasmic accumulation of β-catenin. Furthermore, a CpG island located at the promoter region and exon 1 of the HDPR1 gene was methylated in 22 (51%) of human HCCs. We showed that downregulation of HDPR1, in hepatoma cell lines, was associated with methylation of this CpG island using bisulfite sequencing and 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine demethylation experiment. In addition to methylation-mediated downregulation of HDPR1, allelic loss (13-28% of informative cases) was detected using microsatellite markers flanking the HDPR1 locus. To conclude, down-regulation of HDPR1 is common in HCCs, frequently involves hypermethylation of the promoter region, and allelic loss of the HDPR1 locus may also play a role. © 2005 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved.
