报告摘要：Amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) is a transcriptional coactivator for nuclear receptors and other transcription factors. AIB1 has been identified to play an important role in malignancy of several cancers; however, its involvement in human liver cancer progression remains unclear. Herein we showed that AIB1 protein was overexpressed in 68% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens and promoted HCC progression by enhancing cell proliferation and invasiveness, suggesting that AIB1 plays an important role in HCC development. In addition, we found that Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) levels and AIB1 protein levels showed a positive correlation in human HCC specimens. HBx induced a significant accumulation of AIB1 protein and a significant increase of AIB1 protein half-life. HBx could inhibit the interaction between AIB1 and FBW7 to prevent the ubiquitination and degradation of AIB1. Further study revealed that HBx cooperated with AIB1 to enhance MMP-9 expression to promote HCC cell invasiveness. Furthermore, we investigated the role of AIB1 in Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). We found that down-regulation of AIB1 inhibited CCA cell proliferation by inducing the G2/M arrest through suppressing the Akt pathway. In addition, AIB1 enhanced the chemoresistance of CCA cells at least in part through up-regulating the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. AIB1 regulated the expression of Bcl-2 in CCA cells through activating the Akt pathway as well as suppressing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). AIB1 suppressed ROS by up-regulating Nrf2-targeted antioxindants. AIB1 served as an essential coactivator for Nrf2 by physically interacting with Nrf2 to enhance its transcriptional activity. In conclusion, AIB1 plays an important role in proliferation and chemoresistance of CCA through simultaneous activation of Akt and Nrf2 pathways.
