To elucidate involvement of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)
signaling pathway in endogenous and exogenous liver carcinogenesis, we
investigated mutations of TGF-beta receptor type II (TGF-betaRII), Smad2 and
Smad4 genes, and expression of TGF-betaRII in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs)
induced by a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined (CDAA) diet and by
N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN). Male Fischer 344 rats received a CDAA diet
continuously and HCCs were sampled after 75 weeks. Administration of DEN was
followed by partial hepatectomy (PH), with colchicine to induce cell cycle
disturbance and a selection pressure regimen, HCCs being obtained after 42 weeks.
Total RNAs were extracted from individual HCCs and mutations in TGF-betaRII,
Smad2 and Smad4 were investigated by reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-restriction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP)
analysis followed by sequencing analysis. Mutations of Smad2 were detected in 2
out of 12 HCCs (16.7%) induced by the CDAA diet, a GGT-to-GGC transition (Gly to
Gly) at codon 30 and a TCT-to-GCT (Ser to Ala) transversion at codon 118, without
any TGF-betaRII or Smad4 alterations. No mutations of TGF-betaRII, Smad2 and
Smad4 were encountered in eleven HCCs induced by the exogenous carcinogen.
Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed reduced expression of TGF-betaRII in 2 HCCs
(16.7%) without Smad2 mutations out of 12 HCCs induced by the CDAA diet and none
of 11 induced by DEN. These results suggest that the TGF-beta signaling pathway
may be disturbed in endogenous liver carcinogenesis in rats.
