Immune infiltration landscape and potential drug-targeted implications for hepatocellular carcinoma with ‘progression/hyper-progression’ recurrence by Jing-Xuan Xu, Yue-Xiang Su, Yuan-Yuan Chen, Yi-Yue Huang, Zu-Shun Chen, Yu-Chong Peng, Lu-Nan Qi

“…Therefore, this study aimed to describe the immune landscape of resectable HCC, especially postoperative type III–IV recurrent HCC, and explore potential immune-targeted anti-relapse strategies for treated populations.Methods The differences in gene expression in patients with recurrent HCC (type I–II (solitary or multi-intrahepatic oligo recurrence) vs. type III–IV) were investigated using bulk sequencing. Multiple immune infiltration methods (single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Microenvironment Cell Populations-counter and ESTIMATE) were used, and patients were divided into four groups to identify four distinct immune subtypes: immune-enrichment/matrix-poor (IE1), immune-enrichment/matrix-rich (IE2), immune intermediate/matrix-rich (ITM) and immune desert/matrix-poor (ID). …”
