The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular cancer (HCC). We have developed a transgenic mouse (TG) in FVB strain that overexpresses Ser45-mutated-β-catenin in hepatocytes to study the effects on liver regeneration and cancer. In the two independent TG lines, adult mice show elevated β-catenin at hepatocyte membrane with no increase in Wnt pathway targets cyclin-D1 or glutamine synthetase. However, TG hepatocytes upon culture exhibit a 2-fold increase in thymidine incorporation at day 5 (D5) when compared to hepatocytes from wild-type FVB mice (WT). When subjected to partial hepatectomy (PH), dramatic increases in the number of hepatocytes in S-phase are evident in TG at 40 and WT at 72 hours. Coincident with the earlier onset of proliferation, we observe nuclear translocation of β-catenin along with increase in total and nuclear cyclin-D1 protein at 40 hours in TG livers. To test if stimulation of β-catenin induces regeneration, we utilized hydrodynamic delivery of Wnt-1 naked DNA to control mice, which prompted an increase in Wnt-1, β-catenin and known targets-GS and cyclin-D1, along with a concomitant increase in cell proliferation. β-Catenin overexpressing TG mice, when followed up to 12 months showed no signs of spontaneous tumorigenesis. However, intra-peritoneal delivery of diethylnitrosamine, a known carcinogen (DEN) induced HCC at 6 months in TG mice only. Tumors in TG livers showed upregulation of β-catenin, cyclin-D1 and unique genetic aberrations while other canonical targets were unremarkable. In conclusion, β-catenin overexpression offers growth advantage during liver regeneration. Also, while no spontaneous HCC is evident, β-catenin overexpression makes TG mice susceptible to DEN-induced HCC.
