DNAJB1-PRKACA Fusion Drives Fibrolamellar Liver Cancer through Impaired SIK Signaling and CRTC2/p300-Mediated Transcriptional Reprogramming
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a liver cancer of adolescents and young adults characterized by fusions of the genes encoding the protein kinase A catalytic subunit, PRKACA, and heat shock protein, DNAJB1. The chimeric DNAJB1-PRKACA protein has increased kinase activity and is essential for FLC xenograft growth. Here, we explore the critical oncogenic pathways controlled by DNAJB1-PRKACA using patient-derived FLC models, engineered systems, and patient samples. We show that a core function of DNAJB1-PRKACA is the phosphorylation and inactivation of salt-inducible kinases (SIKs). This leads to deregulation of the CRTC2 transcriptional coactivator and p300 acetyltransferase, resulting in transcriptional reprogramming and increased global histone acetylation, driving malignant growth. Our studies establish a central oncogenic mechanism of DNAJB1-PRKACA and suggest the potential of targeting CRTC2/p300 in FLC. Notably, these findings link this rare cancer’s signature fusion oncoprotein to more common cancer gene alterations involving STK11 and GNAS, which also function via SIK suppression. Significance: This work combines functional studies in model systems and examination of human tumor specimens to define a central oncogenic pathway driven by DNAJB1-PRKACA fusions in FLC. DNAJB1-PRKACA-mediated inactivation of the SIK stimulates CRTC2-p300-mediated transcription to drive tumor growth. The findings illuminate pathogenic mechanisms and inform therapeutic development.

Decreased expression of CRTC2/CREB target genes repressed by active LKB1-SIK signaling was confirmed in isogenic LKB1-expressing xenograft tumors compared to the LKB1-null controls.
“we measured the level of several CRTC2/CREB target genes that are repressed by active LBK1-SIK signaling in tumors34, confirming decreased gene expression in isogenic LKB1-expressing xenograft tumors compared to the LKB1-null controls (Fig. S4B).”

LKB1 regulates JNK-dependent stress signaling and apoptotic dependency of KRAS-mutant lung cancers
Li, C., Syed, M. U., Nimbalkar, A., Shen, Y., Vieira, M. D., Fraser, C., Inde, Z., Qin, X., Ouyang, J., Kreuzer, J., et al. (2025) · Nature Communications · doi:10.1038/s41467-025-58753-y · Cited by 11 · see citing works
“Additionally, we measured the level of several CRTC2/CREB target genes that are repressed by active LBK1-SIK signaling in tumors 34 , con fi rming decreased gene expression in isogenic LKB1-expressing xenograft tumors compared to the LKB1-null controls (Fig.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
