Oncogenic KRAS Requires Complete Loss of BAP1 Function for Development of Murine Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a primary biliary malignancy that harbors a dismal prognosis. Oncogenic mutations of <i>KRAS</i> and loss-of-function mutations of <i>BRCA1-associated protein 1</i> (<i>BAP1</i>) have been identified as recurrent somatic al...

Oncogenic KRAS Requires Complete Loss of BAP1 Function for Development of Murine Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
description Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a primary biliary malignancy that harbors a dismal prognosis. Oncogenic mutations of <i>KRAS</i> and loss-of-function mutations of <i>BRCA1-associated protein 1</i> (<i>BAP1</i>) have been identified as recurrent somatic alterations in ICC. However, an autochthonous genetically engineered mouse model of ICC that genocopies the co-occurrence of these mutations has never been developed. By crossing <i>Albumin</i>-Cre mice bearing conditional alleles of mutant <i>Kras</i> and/or floxed <i>Bap1,</i> Cre-mediated recombination within the liver was induced. Mice with hepatic expression of mutant <i>Kras</i><sup>G12D</sup> alone (KA), bi-allelic loss of hepatic <i>Bap1</i> (B<sup>homo</sup>A), and heterozygous loss of <i>Bap1</i> in conjunction with mutant <i>Kras</i><sup>G12D</sup> expression (B<sup>het</sup>KA) developed primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but no discernible ICC. In contrast, mice with homozygous loss of <i>Bap1</i> in conjunction with mutant <i>Kras</i><sup>G12D</sup> expression (B<sup>homo</sup>KA) developed discrete foci of HCC and ICC. Further, the median survival of B<sup>homo</sup>KA mice was significantly shorter at 24 weeks when compared to the median survival of ≥40 weeks in B<sup>het</sup>KA mice and approximately 50 weeks in B<sup>homo</sup>A and KA mice (<i>p</i> < 0.001).
