BackgroundHepatocarcinogenesis is driven by necroinflammation or metabolic disorders, and the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. We previously found that retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I), a sensor for recognizing RNA virus in innate immune cells, is mainly expressed by parenchymal hepatocytes in the liver. However, its roles in hepatocarcinogenesis are unknown, which is intensively investigated in this study.MethodsDEN-induced necroinflammation-driven hepatocarcinogenesis and STAM NASH-hepatocarcinogenesis were carried out in hepatocyte-specific RIG-I knockout mice. The post-translational modification of RIG-I was determined by mass spectrometry, and specific antibodies against methylated lysine sites and the RIG-I lysine mutant mice were constructed to identify the functions of RIG-I methylation.ResultsWe interestingly found that DEN-induced hepatocarcinogenesis was enhanced, while NASH-induced hepatocarcinogenesis was suppressed by hepatocyte-specific RIG-I deficiency. Further, IL-6 decreased RIG-I expression in HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs), which then viciously promoted IL-6 effector signaling and drove HcPCs to fully established HCC. RIG-I expression was increased by HFD, which then enhanced cholesterol synthesis and steatosis, and the in-turn NASH and NASH-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. Mechanistically, RIG-I was constitutively mono-methylated at K18 and K146, and demethylase JMJD4-mediated RIG-I demethylation suppressed IL-6-STAT3 signaling. The constitutive methylated RIG-I associated with AMPKα to inhibit HMGCR phosphorylation, thus promoting HMGCR enzymatic activity and cholesterol synthesis. Clinically, RIG-I was decreased in human hepatic precancerous dysplastic nodules while increased in NAFLD livers, which were in accordance with the data in mouse models.ConclusionsDecreased RIG-I in HcPCs promotes necroinflammation-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, while increased constitutive methylated RIG-I enhances steatosis and NASH-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. JMJD4-demethylated RIG-I prevents both necroinflammation and NASH-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, which provides mechanistic insight and potential target for preventing HCC.
