Liver cancer multiomics reveals diverse protein kinase A disruptions convergently produce fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer characterized by a fusion oncokinase of the genes DNAJB1 and PRKACA, the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). A few FLC-like tumors have been reported showing other alterations involving PKA. To better understand FLC pathogenesis and the relationships among FLC, FLC-like, and other liver tumors, we performed a massive multi-omics analysis. RNA-seq data of 1412 liver tumors from FLC, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma are analyzed, obtaining transcriptomic signatures unrestricted by experimental processing methods. These signatures reveal which dysregulations are unique to specific tumors and which are common to all liver cancers. Moreover, the transcriptomic FLC signature i
