Abstract:
Objective To analyze the expression of activated T cell nuclear factor (NFAT) in hepatoeellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and its correlation with clinicopathological factors.Methods Data of 105 patients including 87 males and 18 females,aged 55.1 ± 10.8 years old,diagnosed with HCC who underwent hepatectomy in hepatobiliary surgery department of the first central hospital of Tianjin from September 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed,Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of NFAT subtypes in HCC tissues and adjacent normal liver tissues,and the differences in expression of NFAT subtypes and related factors were analyzed.Results HCC tissues had higher expression of NFAT4 and lower expression of NFAT1 compared to adjacent tissues (P<0.05).NFAT1 positive group had higher HBV infected rate (93.1% vs.78.7%) and lower microvascular invasion rate than that in NFAT1 negative group (24.1% vs.46.8%) (P< 0.05).NFAT3 positive group had more younger patients (≤ 60 years old) (80.0% vs.60.0%) and higher microvascular invasion rate (46.2% vs.15.0%) (P<0.05).NFAT4 positive group had higher microvascular invasion rate (43.3% vs.22.2%) (P<0.05).Conclusion HCC tissues had different expressions of NFATs.The expressions of NFAT1,NFAT3 and NFAT4 are related to microvascular invasion.
