Title	Combined Protein Signature of ALDH1A1, LGALS3, LGALS3BP Predicts Cancer Recurrence Post-Liver Transplantation Beyond Milan Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Description	Background: Liver transplantation (LT) for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be offered to patients beyond Milan criteria. However, there are currently no molecular markers that can be used on HCC explant histology to predict recurrence, which arises in up to 20% of LT recipients. The goal of our study was to identify proteins on HCC explant predictive of recurrence post-transplant, thereby guiding surveillance strategies and identifying patients beyond Milan criteria who would fare well following LT. Methods: LT recipients who had been transplanted at the University Health Network for HCC beyond Milan criteria in the context of Hepatitis B cirrhosis were identified. Snap-frozen samples from the dominant tumors of recurrent (N=7) and non-recurrent (N=4) patients were analyzed using LC-MS/MS on a Q-Exactive Plus mass spectrometer to delineate a distinctive proteomic signature. These tumors were also profiled by a Human Gene 2.0 ST microarray platform to identify a transcriptomic signature predictive of recurrence and analyzed with R packages. STRING database was used to characterize the implicated pathways. Kaplan-Meier estimator was used to generate a combined proteomic/transcriptomic signature predictive of HCC recurrence in patients with HCC beyond Milan criteria at time of LT. Significantly predictive proteins were verified and internally validated by immunoblotting or immunohistochemistry. Results: A total of 79 proteins and 636 genes were significantly differentially expressed in recurrent HCC, compared to non-recurrent (p<0.05). Among these, LGALS3, LGALS3BP, HAL, THBS1, and BLMH, were significantly increased in recurrent HCC at the protein and gene expression level. In turn, ALDH1A1 protein and gene expression were significantly decreased in recurrent HCC. Univariate survival analysis depicted ALDH1A1 (HR=0.084, 95%CI 0.01-0.68, p=0.02), LGALS3BP (HR=7.14, 95%CI 1.20-42.96, p=0.03), and LGALS3 (HR=2.89, 95%CI 1.01-8.3, p=0.049) as the key dysregulated proteins and genes in the patients with HCC recurrence versus those with non-recurrence by both proteomic and transcriptomic analysis. Decreased ALDH1A1 and significantly increased LGALS3 protein expression in recurrent HCC was verified by immunoblotting. Increased LGALS3BP protein expression in recurrent HCC was orthogonally verified and validated by immunohistochemistry in 30 independent HCC samples. Conclusion: Protein and gene expression of the cancer stem cell marker ALDH1A1 was protective against cancer recurrence in patients transplanted for HCC beyond Milan criteria. Conversely, increased expression of LGALS3 and LGALS3BP on explant was significantly predictive of post-transplant recurrence. These findings were internally validated, suggesting potential utility in identifying patients with HCC beyond Milan who would clearly benefit from transplant with limited recurrence risk and guiding post-transplant surveillance.
