AbstractThis study aims to identify a novel molecule that may contribute to hepatocarcinogenesis in a rat orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma model. The hepatocellular carcinoma model was generated by injection of tumor cells into the left lobe of the liver. Proteomic approaches, including ProteinChip and two-dimensional electrophoresis, were used to identify proteins from serially collected rat serum samples. By both ProteinChip and two-dimensional electrophoresis techniques, the level of a 27-kDa protein was found to be augmented in serum samples during tumor development, decreased after left lobectomy, and reincreased at the time of tumor recurrence. The protein was identified to be brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). By using specific primers and monoclonal antibody, the expression pattern of BDNF was confirmed in tumor tissue but not in the adjacent non-tumorous liver tissue. In addition, the truncated isoform of BDNF receptor-tyrosine protein kinase receptor B was only found in tumor tissue. An in vitro study showed that exogenous BDNF could induce tumor cell proliferation predominantly in relatively small numbers of inoculated cells. Administration of BDNF to tumor cell lines induced significantly increased expression of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and cyclin D1, and blocking the activity of Hsp90 could reverse the up-regulation of cyclin D1 induced by BDNF. The present study revealed that BDNF and its receptor were uniquely expressed in tumor tissue and cell lines of hepatocellular carcinoma but not in nontumorous liver tissue and normal cell line. BDNF could stimulate tumor cell proliferation in a Hsp90-dependent manner.
