Alcohol is a well-established risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma, and the mechanisms by which alcohol liver cancer are complex. It has been suggested that ethanol (EtOH) metabolism may enhance tumor progression by increasing hepatocyte proliferation. To test this hypothesis, ethanol (EtOH) feeding of male mice began 7 weeks post-injection of the chemical carcinogen diethylnitrosamine (DEN), and continued for 16 weeks, with a final EtOH concentration of 28% of total calories. As expected, EtOH increased the total number of cancerous foci and liver tumors identified in situ fixed livers from the EtOH+DEN group compared to corresponding pair-fed (PF) +DEN and chow+DEN control groups. In the EtOH+DEN group, tumor multiplicity corresponded to a 3- to 4-fold increase proliferation and immunohistochemical staining of β-catenin in non-tumorgenic hepatocytes when compared to the PF+DEN and chow+DEN groups, p<0.05. Analysis of EtOH-treated livers from a previously published rat model of chronic liver disease revealed increases in hepatocyte proliferation accompanied by a hepatic depletion of retinol and retinoic acid stores (p<0.05), nuclear accumulation of β-catenin (p<0.05), increased cytosolic expression p-GSK3β (p<0.05), significant up-regulation of soluble Wnts, Wnt2, and Wnt7a, and increased expression of several β-catenin targets involved in tumor promotion and progression, cyclin D1, c-myc, WISP1, and MMP7 (p<0.05). These data suggest that chronic EtOH consumption activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which increase hepatocyte proliferation thus promoting tumorigenesis following an initiating insult in the liver.
