Mitochondria-Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane (MAM) Is a Promising Signature to Predict Prognosis and Therapies for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The roles of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are well established. However, a special domain that regulates the close contact between the ER and mitochondria, known as the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM), has not yet been investigated in detail in HCC.

Methods

The TCGA-LIHC dataset was only used as a training set. In addition, the ICGC and several GEO datasets were used for validation. Consensus clustering was applied to test the prognostic value of the MAM-associated genes. Then, the MAM score was constructed using the lasso algorithm. In addition, uncertainty of clustering in single-cell RNA-seq data using a gene co-expression network (AUCell) was used for the detec
