Genomic and Transcriptomic Profiling of Combined Hepatocellular and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Reveals Distinct Molecular Subtypes
Open accessAbstract
We performed genomic and transcriptomic sequencing of 133 combined hepatocellular and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-ICC) cases, including separate, combined, and mixed subtypes. Integrative comparison of cHCC-ICC with hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma revealed that combined and mixed type cHCC-ICCs are distinct subtypes with different clinical and molecular features. Integrating laser microdissection, cancer cell fraction analysis, and single nucleus sequencing, we revealed both mono- and multiclonal origins in the separate type cHCC-ICCs, whereas combined and mixed type cHCC-ICCs were all monoclonal origin. Notably, cHCC-ICCs showed significantly higher expression of Nestin, suggesting Nestin may serve as a biomarker for diagnosing cHCC-ICC. Our results provide important biological and clinical insights into cHCC-ICC.

In patients with HCC, chromosomal amplifications including PROX1 are associated with increased survival.
“in patients with HCC, high PROX1 expression or chromosomal amplifications including PROX1 were both associated with increased survival25–32”
From Active repression of cell fate plasticity by PROX1 safeguards hepatocyte identity and prevents liver tumorigenesis (2025) · cites this paper as [31]
The Results section on copy-number alterations reports amplifications of several genes, but does not mention PROX1 or link those amplifications to survival. The Transcriptomic Comparison section reports survival differences between molecular clusters, not by PROX1 amplification. Searches for PROX1 and for its amplification–survival association found no supporting passage in our copy; page numbers were unavailable. (LLM, conf=0.75)

The Results sections on Transcriptomic Comparison and Nestin Expression report survival associations for molecular clusters and Nestin, respectively; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. Searches for PROX1, PROX1 expression and survival, and PROX1 amplification and prognosis returned no passage linking PROX1 expression to survival in HCC. (LLM, conf=0.73)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
