BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There is a lack of biliary epithelial molecular markers for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). We analyzed candidates from disease susceptibility genes identified in recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
METHODS: Expression levels of GWAS genes were analyzed in archival liver tissues of patients with PSC and controls. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate expression levels in the biliary epithelia of PSC (N = 45) and controls (N = 12). Samples from patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) were used as disease controls (N = 20).
RESULTS: Hepatic expression levels of ATXN2, HHEX, PRDX5, MST1, and TNFRSF14 were significantly altered in the PSC group. We focused on the immune-related receptor, TNFRSF14. Immunohistochemistry revealed that high expression of TNFRSF14 in biliary epithelial cells was observed only in the PSC group. In addition, the expression of LIGHT, which encodes a TNFRSF14-activating ligand, was increased in PSC liver. Immunohistochemistry showed that high expression of LIGHT was more common in PSC biliary epithelia (53%) than in the PBC (15%) or control (0%) groups; moreover, it was positively associated with fibrotic progression, although it was not an independent prognostic factor.
CONCLUSIONS: TNFRSF14 and LIGHT are promising candidate markers for PSC.
