Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents significant intertumoral heterogeneity, complicating prognosis and treatment. To address this, we performed an integrated single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of HCC specimens using Seurat and identified malignant cells via Infercnv. Through a systematic evaluation of 101 machine learning algorithms used in combination, we developed tumor-cell-specific gene signatures (TCSGs) that demonstrated strong predictive performance, with area under the curve (AUC) values ranging from 0.72 to 0.74 in independent validation cohorts. Risk stratification based on these signatures revealed distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities: high-risk patients showed increased sensitivity to sorafenib, while low-risk patients exhibited enhanced responses to immunotherapy and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Pharmacogenomic analysis with Oncopredict identified four chemotherapeutic agents, including sapitinib and dinaciclib, with risk-dependent efficacy patterns. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9-dependency screening prioritized SRSF7 as essential for HCC cell survival, a finding confirmed by the identification of protein-level overexpression in tumors via immunohistochemistry. This multi-omics framework bridges single-cell characterization to clinical decision-making, offering a clinically actionable prognostic system that can be used to optimize therapeutic selection in HCC management.
肝细胞癌(HCC)存在显著的肿瘤间异质性,这使得预后和治疗变得复杂。为了解决这个问题,我们使用Seurat对HCC标本进行了综合单细胞RNA测序分析,并通过Infercnv鉴定出恶性细胞。通过对101种联合使用的机器学习算法进行系统评估,我们开发了肿瘤细胞特异性基因特征(TCSG),其在独立验证队列中显示出强大的预测性能,曲线下面积(AUC)值在0.72至0.74之间。基于这些特征的风险分层揭示了不同的治疗脆弱性:高危患者对索拉非尼的敏感性增加,而低危患者对免疫治疗和经动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)的反应增强。使用Oncopredict进行的药物基因组分析确定了四种化疗药物,包括沙匹替尼和地西他滨,其疗效模式与风险相关。此外,CRISPR/Cas9依赖性筛选将SRSF7确定为HCC细胞存活所必需,这一发现通过免疫组织化学在肿瘤中鉴定出蛋白质水平的过表达得到证实。这个多组学框架将单细胞特征与临床决策联系起来,提供了一个可用于优化HCC管理中治疗选择的临床可行的预后系统。
