Interethnic polymorphism of EWS intron 6: genome plasticity mediated by Alu retroposition and recombination
The EWS gene has been identified as being systematically translocated in Ewing’s sarcoma. In order to ascertain the basis of a marked interethnic difference in the incidence of Ewing’s sarcoma, intron 6 of EW...

Bi-allelic inactivation of TCF1 in hepatic adenomas
Liver adenomas are benign tumors at risk of malignant transformation. In a genome-wide search for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) associated with liver adenomas, we found a deletion in chromosome 12q in five of t...

Loss of Trim24 (Tif1α) gene function confers oncogenic activity to retinoic acid receptor alpha
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of death worldwide. Here, we provide evidence that the ligand-dependent nuclear receptor co-regulator Trim24 (also known as Tif1α) functions in mice as a liver-s...

Gene Mutations and Transcriptomic Profiles Associated to Specific Subtypes of Hepatocellular Tumors
Benign hepatocellular tumors mainly include focal nodular hyperplasia and hepatocellular adenomas whereas malignant hepatocellular tumors are essentially represented by hepatocellular carcinomas. Hepatocarcino...

Open AccessHNF1α inhibition triggers epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human liver cancer cell lines
Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1α (HNF1α) is an atypical homeodomain-containing transcription factor that transactivates liver-specific genes including albumin, α-1-antitrypsin and α- and β-fibrinogen. Biallelic in...

Integrated analysis of somatic mutations and focal copy-number changes identifies key genes and pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma
Jessica Zucman-Rossi and colleagues report exome sequencing of 24 hepatocellular carcinomas and non-tumor liver tissues and copy-number analysis of 125 tumors. They identify new recurrent mutations in ARID1A, RPS...

Open AccessOverexpression of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase type IIIα is associated with undifferentiated status and poor prognosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a particularly severe disease characterized by a high rate of recurrence and death even after surgical resection. Molecular characterization of HCC helps refine prognosis and ...

Exome sequencing of hepatocellular carcinomas identifies new mutational signatures and potential therapeutic targets
Jessica Zucman-Rossi and colleagues report exome sequences of 243 hepatocellular carcinomas. They identify mutational signatures associated with specific risk factors such as alcohol, tobacco and aflatoxin B1 ...

Recurrent AAV2-related insertional mutagenesis in human hepatocellular carcinomas
Jessica Zucman-Rossi and colleagues identify clonal integrations of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) in hepatocellular carcinomas. These AAV2 integrations occurred within known cancer driver genes, suggest...

A MYC–aurora kinase A protein complex represents an actionable drug target in p53-altered liver cancer
In Trp53-mutated hepatocellular carcinoma, conformation-changing aurora kinase A inhibitors disrupt aurora kinase A–MYC interactions, resulting in MYC degradation and suppression of tumor growth.

Open AccessThe clinical implications of G1-G6 transcriptomic signature and 5-gene score in Korean patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
Efforts have been made to classify Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) at surgically curable stages because molecular classification, which is prognostically informative, can accurately identify patients in need of...

Open AccessMulti-site tumor sampling highlights molecular intra-tumor heterogeneity in malignant pleural mesothelioma
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a heterogeneous cancer. Better knowledge of molecular and cellular intra-tumor heterogeneity throughout the thoracic cavity is required to develop efficient therapies. T...

A spatial architecture-embedding HLA signature to predict clinical response to immunotherapy in renal cell carcinoma
An important challenge in the real-world management of patients with advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) is determining who might benefit from immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here we performed a ...
