Human Gene Set: REQUENA_INTRAHEPATIC_CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA_SIGNATURE_UP


Standard name REQUENA_INTRAHEPATIC_CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA_SIGNATURE_UP
Systematic name M51096
Brief description Genes consistenly up-regulated in Intrahepatic Cholagiocarcinoma across independent datasets.
Full description or abstract Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a liver cancer of adolescents and young adults characterized by increased PKA activity. We performed a multi-omics study of 1,412 tumor-normal paired liver samples from cohorts of patients with FLC, hepatoblastoma (HBL), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), including ribosomal RNA-depleted whole-transcriptome RNA-seq samples sequenced on Illumina NextSeq and HiSeq platforms. Using differential expression analysis, we identified 760 upregulated and 1082 downregulated genes with a consistent variation trend across iCCA samples. The upregulated genes were designated as the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma signature up. Pathway enrichment analysis using GSEA, PADOG, and CAMERA confirmed that this gene set is consistently enriched across iCCA datasets, but not in FLC, HBL, or HCC.
