| Abstract | Hepatocellular Carcinoma(HCC) is a commonly diagnosed cancer with high mortality. Immune response plays important role in progression of HCC. Recent years, immunotherapies are becoming a promising tool for treating cancers. Besides, advances in scRNA-seq(single-cell RNA sequencing) allow us to identify new subsets in immune microenvironment of HCC. Yet, distribution of these new cell types and potential prognostic value in bulk samples from large cohorts remained unclear. This study is aimed to investigate the tumor-infiltration and prognostic value of new cell subsets identified by a previous scRNA-seq study in TCGA HCC cohort using CIBERSORTx, a machine learning method to estimate cell proportion and infer cell-type-specific gene expression profiles. We observed different distribution of 3 immune cell types between tumor and normal. Among these, CD4-GZMA cell subset showed association with prognosis(log-rank test, p<0.05). We further analyzed CD4-GZMA cell specific gene expression with CIBERSORTx, and found 19 prognostic genes(univariable cox regression, p<0.05). Finally, we applied Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) Cox regression to construct an immune risk score model and performed prognostic assessment of our model in TCGA and ICGC cohorts. Taken together, immune landscape in HCC bulk samples may be more complex with heterogeneity with different tumor-infiltration relative to scRNA-seq results. Additionally, CD4-GZMA cells and their characteristics may yield therapeutic benefits in the immune treatment of HCC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
