Integrative single-cell and machine-learning analysis identifies LGALS1 as a macrophage-associated diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in hepatocellular carcinoma

Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by marked heterogeneity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in which tumor-associated macrophages contribute to disease progression. This study aimed to identify macrophage-associated biomarkers with diagnostic, prognostic, and translational relevance in HCC. Methods Single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets were integrated with bulk transcriptomic and clinical data from TCGA-LIHC, GEO, and ICGC cohorts. Macrophage markers were intersected with tumor-ass…

Current reading — gain

A 16-gene macrophage-associated signature developed with ridge regression and XGBoost stratified HCC patients and achieved high diagnostic discrimination, with LGALS1 emerging as a top feature linked to survival and treatment response.

What this doesn’t fix

Findings are based on retrospective multi-cohort and in vitro analyses and require prospective HCC-specific validation and mechanistic work before clinical use.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0865 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
