BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive malignancy; its mechanisms of development and progression are poorly understood. We used an integrative approach to identify HCC driver genes, defined as genes whose copy numbers associate with gene expression and cancer progression. METHODS We combined data from high-resolution, array-based comparative genomic hybridization and transcriptome analysis of HCC samples from 76 patients with hepatitis B virus infection with data on…

The Oncogenic Role of CENPA in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development: Evidence from Bioinformatic Analysis
TLDR
Overexpressed in tumors, CENPA might be an oncogenic factor in the development of HCC patients.
Integrative analysis of genomic and epigenomic regulation of the transcriptome in liver cancer
TLDR
Integrative analysis of genomic and epigenomic regulation provides new insights on the multi-layered pathobiology of hepatocellular carcinoma, which might be helpful in developing precision management for hepato Cell carcinoma patients.
Application of microRNA and mRNA expression profiling on prognostic biomarker discovery for hepatocellular carcinoma
TLDR
The expression level of gene sets not only in HCC but also in the pericancerous liver showed potential for prognosis implying an option for HCC prognosis at an early stage, demonstrating that the multi-factorial molecular pathogenesis of HCC is contributed by various genes and microRNAs.
Identification of Drivers from Cancer Genome Diversity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
TLDR
Identification of common cancer driver genes in HCC leads to the development of an effective molecular target therapy and a global genetic analysis, including genome-wide RNAi functional screening, makes it possible to identify cancer vulnerable genes.
Integrative Genomics Identifies YY1AP1 as an Oncogenic Driver in EpCAM+ AFP+ Hepatocellular Carcinoma
TLDR
The results demonstrate the feasibility and power of a new strategy by utilizing well-defined patient samples and integrative genomics to uncover critical pathways linked to HCC subtypes with prognostic impact.
Cell Cycle Genes Are Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
TLDR
It is demonstrated that BUB3, CDK1, and CHEK1 may serve as a prognostic biomarker for HCC patients and PTTG2, RAD21, and MAD1L1 expression is a major factor affecting the recurrence of H CC patients.
Role of DLC1 tumor suppressor gene and MYC oncogene in pathogenesis of human hepatocellular carcinoma: Potential prospects for combined targeted therapeutics
TLDR
Compelling evidence demonstrates that DLC1, a potent TSG on 8p, and MYC oncogene on 8q play a critical role in the pathogenesis of human HCC.
Genomic copy number alterations with transcriptional deregulation at 6p identify an aggressive HCC phenotype.
TLDR
The results suggest that genomic copy number alterations with transcriptional deregulation at 6p21-p24 identify an aggressive HCC phenotype and a novel functional biomarker.
Gene-expression Analysis Identifies Specific Patterns of Dysregulated Molecular Pathways and Genetic Subgroups of Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
TLDR
It is suggested that these significantly dysregulated genes are highly specific and potentially utilizable as prognostic markers and may lead to a better understanding of human hepatocarcinogenesis.
Clinical implications and molecular mechanisms of Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
TLDR
HCC patients with high CDK4 expression have poor prognosis, andCDK4 could be a potential candidate diagnostic biomarker for HCC.

Identification of potential driver genes in human liver carcinoma by genomewide screening.
TLDR
The application of an unbiased and integrative analysis of multidimensional genomic data sets can effectively screen for potential driver genes and provides novel mechanistic and clinical insights into the pathobiology of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Classification and prediction of survival in hepatocellular carcinoma by gene expression profiling
TLDR
The biological differences identified in the HCC subclasses should provide an attractive source for the development of therapeutic targets (e.g., HIF1a) for selective treatment of HCC patients.
Genetic and epigenetic alterations of DLC-1 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma.
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that both genetic and epigenetic alterations play an important role in inactivation of the DLC-1 gene in hepatocarcinogenesis.
Etiology‐dependent molecular mechanisms in human hepatocarcinogenesis
TLDR
The findings suggest that MDM4 and EEF1A2 act as etiology‐independent oncogenes in a significant percentage of HCCs, suggesting that tumors of this etiology develop by way of a distinct MYC‐independent pathomechanism.
A unique metastasis gene signature enables prediction of tumor relapse in early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
TLDR
It is shown in 2 independent cohorts with mixed etiologies and ethnicity that the metastasis gene signature is a useful tool to predict HCC outcome, suggesting the general utility of this classifier.
The association of chromosome 8p deletion and tumor metastasis in human hepatocellular carcinoma.
TLDR
The most significant finding is the loss of 8p which was detected in 8 metastatic tumors but only in 3 corresponding primary tumors, which suggests that the deletion of chromosome 8p might contribute to the development of HCC metastasis.

Gene Expression–Based Recurrence Prediction of Hepatitis B Virus–Related Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma
TLDR
A gene expression signature is identified that effectively predicted early recurrence of HCC independent of microarray platforms and cohorts, and provided novel biological insights into the mechanisms of tumor recurrence.
Array-based comparative genomic hybridization reveals recurrent chromosomal aberrations and Jab1 as a potential target for 8q gain in hepatocellular carcinoma.
TLDR
This study shows that array-based CGH provides high resolution mapping of chromosomal aberrations in HCC, and demonstrates the feasibility of correlating array CGH data with gene expression data to identify novel oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.
Focal gains of VEGFA and molecular classification of hepatocellular carcinoma.
TLDR
Overexpression of VEGFA via 6p21 gain in hepatocellular carcinomas suggested a novel, non-cell-autonomous mechanism of oncogene activation, and the prevalence of V EGFA high-level gains in multiple tumor types suggests indications for clinical trials of antiangiogenic therapies.
