BACKGROUND & AIMS: High expression of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase III alpha (PI4KIIIα) correlates with poor survival rates in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections activate PI4KIIIα and contribute to hepatocellular carcinoma progression. We aimed at mechanistically understanding the impact of PI4KIIIα on the progression of liver cancer and the potential contribution of HCV in this process.
METHODS: Several hepatic cell culture and mouse models were used to study the functional importance of PI4KIIIα on liver pathogenesis. Antibody arrays, gene silencing, and PI4KIIIα-specific inhibitor were applied to identify the involved signaling pathways. The contribution of HCV was examined by using HCV infection or overexpression of its nonstructural protein.
RESULTS: High PI4KIIIα expression and/or activity induced cytoskeletal rearrangements via increased phosphorylation of paxillin and cofilin. This led to morphologic alterations and higher migratory and invasive properties of liver cancer cells. We further identified the liver-specific lipid kinase phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase C2 domain-containing subunit gamma (PIK3C2γ) working downstream of PI4KIIIα in regulation of the cytoskeleton. PIK3C2γ generates plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate-enriched, invadopodia-like structures that regulate cytoskeletal reorganization by promoting Akt2 phosphorylation.
CONCLUSIONS: PI4KIIIα regulates cytoskeleton organization via PIK3C2γ/Akt2/paxillin-cofilin to favor migration and invasion of liver cancer cells. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the contribution of PI4KIIIα and HCV to the progression of liver cancer and identify promising targets for therapeutic intervention.
