肝细胞癌中磷酸化STAT3与上皮型钙粘素的表达及其临床意义
Expression of phosphorylated STAT3 and E-cadherin in hepatocellular carcinoma and their clinical significance
摘要
Abstract
Objective To investigate the expression of activated phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 ( p-STAT3 ) and E-cadherin in hepatocellular carcinoma( HCC), and to analyze their correlations and predictive effects on HCC prognosis. Methods The expression profiles of p-STAT3 and E-cadherin were detected in 100 HCC clinical samples and 10 normal liver tissues by immunohistochemical staining method, and their correlations with clinicopathological parameters were also analyzed. The association between p-STAT3, E-cadherin expression and prognosis was assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and compared by log-rank test. Results The results demonstrated that p-STAT3 expression was positive in 58% HCC patients. The expression of p-STAT3 was associated with invasion and metastasis( P = 0. 038 ), However,52% HCC showed that E-cadherin expression reduced,it was also associated closely with invasion and metastasis ( P = 0. 001 ). In HCC, p-STAT3 expression was negatively correlated with E-cadherin expression( P = 0. 006). Survival analysis indicated that HCC patients with pSTAT3 positive expression or reduced E-cadherin expression had a significantly shorter survival duration than those with negative expression of p-STAT3 or those with normal E-cadherin expression( P = 0. 005, P = 0. 001 ). Conclusion Activated STAT3 signal and deregulated E-cadherin expression are correlated with HCC invasion and metastasis. Abnormal p-STAT3 or E-eadherin expression can serve as markers for prognosis judgment of HCC patients.关键词
