BACKGROUND: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is an aggressive malignancy with multiple etiologies and is largely refractory to current treatment strategies. Myeloid leukemia factor 1 (MLF1) is associated with human cancer progression. Nevertheless, the function of MLF1 in iCCA remains unknown.
METHODS: We performed expression analyses of MLF1 in human iCCA. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to investigate the role of MLF1 in iCCA progression. The upstream regulatory mechanism of MLF1 upregulation in iCCA was deciphered by luciferase and DNA methylation analyses.
RESULTS: MLF1 was significantly upregulated in clinical iCCA tissue specimens and human iCCA cell lines. MLF1 was positively correlated with KRT19 and MUC1 expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) gene set enrichment score in clinical iCCA. High MLF1 expression was independently associated with worse prognoses in iCCA patients after curative resection. In addition, experimental knockdown of MLF1 attenuated, while overexpression of MLF1 promoted the proliferation, invasiveness, and growth of iCCA cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, MLF1 comodulated EGFR/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signalings through regulating EGFR, AKT, WNT3, and p-GSK3β expression. Promoter CpG sites' hypermethylation-induced downregulation of miR-29c-3p contributed to MLF1 upregulation in iCCA patients. The upregulation of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)1, 3A, and 3B downregulated miR-29c-3p by dictating promoter DNA methylation pattern. MiR-29c-3p showed therapeutic potential by targeting MLF1 in iCCA.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that hypermethylation-mediated miR-29c-3p downregulation contributes to MLF1 upregulation in iCCA, which resulted in tumor cells' proliferation and metastasis through comodulating EGFR/AKT and Wnt/β-catenin signalings.
