| Summary |
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are two main forms liver cancers with poor prognosis. Models for studying HCC and ICC development using human liver cells are urgently needed. Organoids serve as in vitro models for cancer studies as it recapitulates in vivo structures and microenvironment of solid tumors. Herein, we established liver cancer organoid models by introducing specific mutations into human induced hepatocyte (hiHep)-derived organoids. c-MYC and hRASG12V overexpression in hiHep organoids with repressed p53 activation by large T led to distinct HCC and ICC signatures. With these oncogenic mutations, the neoplastic hiHep organoids formed cancerous structures and possessed cancer-specific hallmarks. Comprehensive transcriptional analysis of liver cancer organoids revealed genes and pathways with disease-stage-specific alterations. Notably, with RAS mutations, hiHep organoids acquired biliary trans-differentiation, and showed a process of conversion from hepatocytes to ICC. To sum up, we have established a useful and convenient in vitro human organoid systems modeling liver cancer development.

| Overall design |
During the in vitro neoplastic transformation process, transcriptional profiling of hiHep organoids, c-MYC and RAS organoids were generated by RNA-seq analysis.
During the in vitro neoplastic transformation process, transcriptional profiling of ProliHH organoids, c-MYC- and RAS- transfected ProliHH organoids were generated by RNA-seq analysis.
