For the Human gene set with the same name, see CAIRO_LIVER_DEVELOPMENT_DN

Standard name CAIRO_LIVER_DEVELOPMENT_DN
Systematic name MM1274
Brief description Genes down-regulated at early fetal liver stage (embryonic days E11.5 - E12.5) compared to the late fetal liver stage (embryonic days E14.5 - E16.5).
Full description or abstract Hepatoblastoma, the most common pediatric liver cancer, is tightly linked to excessive Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Here, we used microarray analysis to identify two tumor subclasses resembling distinct phases of liver development and a discriminating 16-gene signature. beta-catenin activated different transcriptional programs in the two tumor types, with distinctive expression of hepatic stem/progenitor markers in immature tumors. This highly proliferating subclass was typified by gains of chromosomes 8q and 2p and upregulated Myc signaling. Myc-induced hepatoblastoma-like tumors in mice strikingly resembled the human immature subtype, and Myc downregulation in hepatoblastoma cells impaired tumorigenesis in vivo. Remarkably, the 16-gene signature discriminated invasive and metastatic hepatoblastomas and predicted prognosis with high accuracy.
