Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma:Exploring molecular mechanisms and differentiation pathways to better understand disease outcomes and prognosis
摘要Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma(FLC)is a rare but aggressive liver cancer of children that occurs predominantly in teenagers without a history of liver disease.Surgical resection remains the only therapeutic option,and the recurrence rate is extremely high(>50%within 3 years).A newly discovered chromosomal deletion that occurs in the majority of FLCs generates a novel kinase fusion between DnaJ heat shock protein family member B1(DNAJB1)and protein kinase cAMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha(PRKACA)(DNAJB1-PRKACA).Despite its high penetrance and apparent specificity for FLC,the oncogenic role of this fusion event remains unclear.In this review article,we discuss the histology,presentation and diagnosis,current treatment,and roles of the DNAJB1-PRKACA as well as research models contributing to our understanding of this disease.
