Abstract

Objective:To investigate the level and prognostic significance of RNF87 in human hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:Detected the expression of RNF87 in 98 HCC tissues by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot.According to the clinical data of the patients,we analyzed the relationship between RNF87 level and the prognosis of the HCC patients.Results:The level of RNF87 in HCC tissues is down-regulated,compared with the adjacent tissues.And the expression of RNF87 was significantly related to the prognosis of HCC patients.Besides,the lower level of RNF87 was also obviously related with microvascular invasion.Conclusions:The down-regulated level of RNF87 may be one of the risk factors of human hepatocellular carcinoma progression;RNF87 maybe one of potential tumor suppressors;the level of RNF87 can be used as an indicator to predict the prognosis of HCC patients.
