Abstract
BACKGROUND:Recent discoveries in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) unveil key molecules. However, due to liver cancer's high heterogeneity, predicting patient prognosis is challenging. This study aims to construct a model for predicting HCC prognosis using multiple key genes. METHODS:TCGA provided RNA expression and clinical data, differentially analyzed by DESeq2, edgeR, and Limma. The hub gene was pinpointed via CytoHubba's degree algorithm in Cytoscape. GO and KEGG analyses illuminated potential pathways. Single-cell sequencing detailed key gene expression in diverse cell types. The LASSO regression model predicted patient prognosis. RESULT:In the RNA-seq analysis using three R packages, we identified 762 differentially expressed genes, with Cytoscape revealing ten key genes showing significant prognostic value (P < 0.05). GO and KEGG analyses highlighted key biological processes and pathways. IHC confirmed higher expression in cancer tissues. Reduced immune cell infiltration was observed in HCC tissues, and immune checkpoint analysis showed a strong correlation between PD1, CTLA4, and hub genes. Single-cell sequencing indicated higher expression of key genes in immune cells than hepatocytes. Cox analysis validated the riskScore as a reliable, independent prognostic marker (HR = 4.498, 95% CI: 2.526-8.007). CONCLUSIONS:The results from differential analysis using three R packages are robust, revealing genes closely linked to immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, a validated prognostic model for liver cancer was established based on key genes.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
