Linker histone H1.2 (H1.2), encoded by HIST1H1C (H1C), is a major H1 variant in somatic cells. Among five histone H1 somatic variants, upregulated H1.2 was found in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples and in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN)‐induced HCC mouse model. In vitro, H1.2 overexpression accelerated proliferation of HCC cell lines, whereas H1.2 knockdown (KD) had the opposite effect. In vivo, H1.2 insufficiency or deficiency (H1c KD or H1c KO) alleviated inflammatory response and HCC development in DEN‐treated mice. Mechanistically, H1.2 regulated the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which in turn positively regulated H1.2 expression by binding to its promoter. Moreover, upregulation of the H1.2/STAT3 axis was observed in human HCC samples, and was confirmed in mouse models of methionine‐choline‐deficient diet induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or lipopolysaccharide induced acute inflammatory liver injury. Disrupting this feed‐forward loop by KD of STAT3 or treatment with STAT3 inhibitors rescued H1.2 overexpression‐induced proliferation. Moreover, STAT3 inhibitor treatment‐ameliorated H1.2 overexpression promoted xenograft tumor growth. Therefore, H1.2 plays a novel role in inflammatory response by regulating STAT3 activation in HCC, thus, blockade of the H1.2/STAT3 loop is a potential strategy against HCC. This study showed that histone H1.2 was upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma samples and promoted hepatocarcinogenesis by regulating signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation. STAT3 in turn upregulated H1.2 by binding to its promoter to form a feed‐forward H1.2/STAT3 loop. The H1.2/STAT3 loop was further identified in inflammatory liver injury models.
