BACKGROUND: The escalating prevalence of metabolic diseases has led to a rapid increase in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC). While oxaliplatin (OXA)-based hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) has shown promise in advanced-stage HCC patients, its efficacy in NASH-HCC remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of OXA-based HAIC and elucidate the mechanisms underlying OXA resistance in NASH-HCC.
METHODS: The key lncRNAs were screened through RNA-seq analysis of NASH/non-NASH and OXA-sensitive/OXA-resistant (OXA-S/R) HCC tissues. The biological functions of the lnc-OXAR (OXA resistance-related lncRNA in NASH-HCC) in NASH-HCC were verified through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The molecular mechanism of lnc-OXAR was elucidated by fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (FISH), Immunoprecipitation-Mass Spectrometry (IP-MS), RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-Seq) and a dual-luciferase reporter assay.
RESULTS: NASH-HCC exhibited reduced responsiveness to OXA-based HAIC compared to non-NASH HCC. We identified and validated a novel transcript namedlnc-OXAR, which played a crucial role in conferring OXA resistance to NASH-HCC. Inhibition of lnc-OXAR suppressed HCC cell growth and restored OXA sensitivity both in NASH-HCC mouse models and in vitro. Mechanistically, lnc-OXAR recruited Ku70 and cystatin A (CSTA), preventing Ku70 degradation and facilitating DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, thereby promoting OXA resistance in NASH-HCC. Additionally, WTAP-mediated m6A modification enhanced the stability of lnc-OXAR in an IGF2BP2-dependent manner. Notably, silencing lnc-OXAR significantly enhanced the response to OXA in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models derived from NASH-HCC.
CONCLUSIONS: The reduced responsiveness of NASH-HCC to OXA treatment can be attributed to the upregulation of lnc-OXAR. Our findings provide a rationale for stratifying HCC patients undergoing OXA-based HAIC based on etiology. Lnc-OXAR holds promise as a novel target for overcoming OXA resistance in NASH-HCC and improving prognosis.
