The evaluative value of Sema3C and MFN2 co-expression detected by immunohistochemistry for prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients after hepatectomy

چکیده
BACKGROUND The ability to evaluate the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following hepatectomy using biological markers is of great importance. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we collected samples from 54 patients with HCC after hepatectomy. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Sema3C and MFN2 in the HCC samples. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry results showed that Sema3C and MFN2 co-expression was significantly associated with tumor size. In addition, a significant association between high Sema3C and low MFN2 levels and shorter overall survival was noted, when Sema3C and MFN2 co-expression was analyzed. CONCLUSION The results suggest that the correlative expression level of Sema3C and MFN2 has a strong value in the prognosis of patients with HCC following hepatectomy.

Evaluation of serum AFP (α-fetoprotein) level in HBsAg carrier patients for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common all over the world as well as Iran. The incidence of HCC is higher in hepatitis B carriers and it is highly recommended to periodically screen these patients by serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and liver ultrasound (US) every 6 months. We explore the diagnostic accuracy and the performance of (AFP) in cases of hepatitis B carriers as a scree...
متن کاملComparing PET metabolic parameters with clinicopathological factors in predicting onset of early recurrence in recently diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma
Introduction: Early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major risk factor affecting survival even after hepatectomy. Many clinical, biochemical parameters and pathological grading like fibrosis 1 index have been used for risk stratifying HCC. However not many studies have combined all of them. It is therefore important to risk stratify HCC especially with newer PE...

متن کاملPrognostic Value of HLA-G in Malignant Liver and Pancreas Lesions
Background: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G is a nonclassical HLA class I molecule with modulatory effects on NK and T cells. Because HLA-G expression is frequently detected in different solid tumors, it may be involved in tumor immune evasion. Objective: This study was designed to elucidate the prognostic value of HLA-G in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PADC). Th...
متن کاملExpression of glioma-associated oncogene 2 (Gli 2) is correlated with poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing hepatectomy
BACKGROUND Our previous studies showed that glioma-associated oncogene (Gli)2 plays an important role in the proliferation and apoptosis resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. The aim of this study was to explore the clinical significance of Gli2 expression in HCC. METHODS Expression of Gli2 protein was detected in samples from 68 paired HCC samples, the corresponding paraneoplas...
