Objective To explore the expression of annexin A10 (ANXA10) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and analyze its correlation with matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),thus to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and assessment of HCC.Methods 88 HCC patients were selected,and they were all performed surgical treatment,HCC stage Ⅰ in 11 cases,stage Ⅱ 25 cases,stage Ⅲ 31 cases,stage ⅣV 21 cases.The expressions of ANXA10,MMP-9,VEGF of HCC cancer tissues,adjacent liver tissues and normal liver tissues were tested by immunohistochemical method.The correlation of ANXA10 with VEGF and MMP-9 was analyzed.Results The absorbance value of ANXA10 expression in the HCC cancer tissue was (0.074 ± 0.012),which was lower than that in the adjacent liver tissues [(0.091 ± 0.013)] and normal liver tissues[(0.131 ±0.025)],and ANXA10 expression of the adjacent liver tissue was lower than that of the normal liver tissues,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.96,9.44,8.71,all P < 0.05).The absorbance values of MMP-9 and VEGF expression in the HCC cancer tissue were (0.147 ± 0.017) and (0.127 ± 0.028),respectively,which were higher than those in the adjacent liver tissues [(0.096 ± 0.012),(0.091 ± 0.015)] and normal liver tissues [(0.075 ± 0.014),(0.077 ± 0.019)].The absorbance values of MMP-9 and VEGF of the adjacent liver tissues were higher than those of the normal liver tissues,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.05,9.30,8.11;8.28,9.51,8.02,all P < 0.05).The absorbance value of ANXA 10 expression in the HCC stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ cancer tissue was (0.056 ± 0.010),which was lower than that in the stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ cancer tissue [(0.082 ±0.016)],the difference was statistically significant (t =8.90,P < 0.05).The absorbance values of MMP-9 and VEGF expression in the stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ cancer tissue were (0.157 ± 0.022) and (0.169 ± 0.033),respectively,which were higher than those in the stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ cancer tissue [(0.114 ±0.015),(0.091 ±0.021)],the differences were statistically significant (t =9.13,9.72,all P < 0.05).ANXA10 was correlated with MMP-9 and VEGF (r =0.324,0.295,all P < 0.05).Conclusion ANXA10 presents lower expression in HCC cell,and the expression decreased with the increase of staging.It is negatively related with the MMP-9 and VEGF.ANXA10 expression missing or inactivation of malignant change may be one of the most important features in HCC.

Objective To compare the different expression of EBNA-1 in the normal human lymphocytes and in the EBV-induced lymphomas so as to provide the basis for studying the mechanism of the EB virus-induced lymphoma. Methods Animal model of EBV-induced lymphoma was constructed in SCID mice. EBNA-1 gene expression level was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. Results EBV-induced lymphomas in animal model were replicated. EBNA-1 gene was expressed both in normal human lymphoma cells and 3 EBV-induced lymphoma cells. In EBV-induced lymphoma cells , the expression was up-regulated 11 683 times than in normal lymphocytes. Western blot results showed that the expression of EBNA-1 protein in induced lymphoma cells increased significantly compared with that in normal lymphocytes. Conclusions EBNA-1 expression in EBV-induced lymphoma cells is up-regulated than in normal lymphocytes. EBNA-1 may play an important role in the development of EBV-induced lymphoma.
