| Abstract | Background Lipid metabolism dysregulation is a key characteristic of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) onset and progression. Elevated expression of immunoglobulin (Ig), especially the Igκ free light chain with a unique Vκ4-1/Jκ3 rearrangement in cancer cells, is linked to increased malignancy and has been implicated in colon cancer tumorigenesis. However, the role of Igκ in HCC carcinogenesis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the pivotal roles of hepatocyte-derived Igκ in HCC development. Methods The rearrangement sequence and expression level of hepatocyte-derived Igκ in HCC cells were determined via RT-PCR, Sanger sequencing, immunohistochemistry, and western blot analysis. The function of Igκ in HCC tumorigenesis was assessed by silencing Igκ using siRNA or gRNA in various HCC cell lines. To assess the role of Igκ in HCC pathogenesis in vivo, a mouse model with hepatocyte-specific Igκ knockout and diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and carbon tetrachloride (CCL4)-induced HCC was utilized. The molecular mechanism by which Igκ affects HCC tumorigenesis was investigated through multiomics analyses, quantitative real-time PCR, immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, immunofluorescence, and metabolite detection. Results We confirmed that Igκ, especially Vκ4-1/Jκ3-Igκ, is highly expressed in human HCC cells. Igκ depletion inhibited HCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro, and hepatocyte-specific Igκ deficiency ameliorated HCC progression in mice with DEN and CCL4-induced HCC in vivo. Mechanistically, Vκ4-1/Jκ3-Igκ interacts with electron transfer flavoprotein subunit α (ETFA), delaying its protein degradation. Loss of Igκ led to a decrease in the expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes III and IV, resulting in aberrant fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) and lipid accumulation, which in turn inhibited HCC cell proliferation and migration. Conclusion Our findings indicate that the Igκ/ETFA axis deregulates fatty acid β-oxidation, contributing to HCC progression, which suggests that targeting fatty acid metabolism may be an effective HCC treatment strategy. The results of this study suggest that hepatocyte-derived Vκ4-1/Jκ3-Igκ may serve as a promising therapeutic target for HCC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
