Project description:Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare primary hepatic cancer usually developed in non-cirrhotic livers of children and young adults with unknown etiology. Treatment is limited to surgical intervention. To date, molecular pathogenesis of FLC has been poorly characterized. A cohort of FLCs was analyzed through SNP-array. GISTIC algorithm identified chromosomal aberrations. FLC tumors corresponding to 25 different patients. In all cases, tumor and corresponding non-tumor samples were frozen (-80°C) after hepatic resection at diagnosis. Comparative Genomic Hybridization analysis was done using Illumina HumanHap370CNV Genotyping BeadChip SNP array

Project description:Background & Aims: Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare primary hepatic cancer usually developed in non-cirrhotic livers of children and young adults with unknown etiology. Treatment is limited to surgical intervention. To date, molecular pathogenesis of FLC has been poorly characterized. Herein, we aim to provide an integrative genomic analysis from a large series of FLC patients. Methods: A clinically annotated cohort of 77 FLCs was analyzed through wholetranscriptome, SNP-array and whole-exome sequencing. Non-negative matrix factorization was performed for class discovery, and GSEA, NTP, IPA and immunohistochemistry for functional annotation. GISTIC algorithm identified chromosomal aberrations; Mutect and VarScan2, somatic mutations, and Random survival forest the prognostic signature, validated in an independent cohort. Results: Unsupervised gene expression clustering revealed 3 robust molecular classes: Proliferation-51%, enriched with liver cancer proliferation signatures and mTOR signaling activation, Inflammation-26%, with pro-inflammatory cytokines signatures, and Unannotated-23%, with non-liver-related cancer signatures. Neuroendocrine genes and cholangiocyte and hepatocyte histological markers were present in all classes. FLC showed few copy number variations, being the most frequent: focal amplification at 8q24.3(12.5%), and deletions at 19p13(28%) and 22q13.32(25%). DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript was observed in 79% of cases. FLC tumors had 32 damaging mutations on average, affecting uncommon genes in liver neoplasms (BRCA2, U2AF1). An 8-gene prognostic signature predicted survival in FLC patients. Conclusions: FLC genomic analysis reveals a unique molecular portrait characterized by uncommon damaging mutations and chromosomal aberrations, and a highly prevalent fusion protein. Three molecular classes, including Proliferation and Inflammation, define the biological behavior. Prognostic signature will allow better patient stratification.

Project description:Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare liver cancer. Expression of miR-375 is significantly lost in primary FLC tumors compared to non-malignant liver. Here, we treated a FLC cell line with miR-375 mimic or scramble control to determine the function of miR-375 in FLC.

Project description:Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare type of primary liver cancer that often arises in children, adolescents and young adults. At the pathological level, FLC display pure morphology or can present with mixed morphology involving a conventional HCC component. Owing to the rarity of the disease, its genetic landscape is fully unknown. Pure FLC showed less chromosomic aberrations than mixed FLC and hepatocellular carcinoma arising in non-cirrhotic liverﾵ. Nevertheless; they displayed more gains in 16q23 and more LOH in 21q22. We also analyzed the mutational landscape of 8 FLC by whole-exome sequencing and showed mutations in the coagulation pathway.

Project description:Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is an aggressive liver cancer that predominantly afflicts adolescents and young adults. Patients with FLC are characterized by a heterozygous deletion on chromosome 19 that creates an oncogenic gene fusion, DNAJB1-PRKACA. The extracellular environment of FLC tumors is poorly characterized and may contribute to cancer progression, metastasis, and/or drug resistance. To bridge this knowledge gap, we propose to assess pathways relevant to proteoglycans, a major component of the extracellular matrix. We leveraged single-cell ATAC-seq to analyze the diversity of VCAN accessibility across different cell types.
