Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression characteristics of Glypican3 ,MMP-9 and MMP-14 in primary hepatocellular carcinoma ,and to focus on their roles on the development ,progress and metastasis of tumor .Methods 102 cases of primary hepato-cellular carcinoma were taken as the observation group and 80 cases of normal liver tissues as the control group .The expressions of Glypican3 ,MMP-9 and MMP-14 were detected by the immunohistochemistry method and their expression difference in different clinicopathological characteristics and the correlation were investigated .Results The positive rates of Glypican3 ,MMP-9 and MMP-14 expressions in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group .The positive rates of Glypi-can3 ,MMP-9 and MMP-14 expressions were closely correlated with the tumor volume ,differentiation degree ,lymph node metasta-sis ,vessel infiltration ,membrane invasion and PCNA expression .The correlation analysis showed that the positive relationships were found between Glypican3 and MMP-9 ,between Glypican3 and MMP-14 and between MMP-9 and MMP-14 in the observation group(r=0 .48 ,P=0 .024 1 ;r=0 .46 ,P=0 .013 2;r=0 .43 .P=0 .031 3) .The survival analysis showed that expressions of Glypi-can3 ,MMP-9 and MMP-14 were correlated with the patient′s prognosis .Conclusion The higher-expressions of Glypican3 ,MMP-9 and MMP-14 may promote the occurrence and development of primary hepatocellular carcinoma .Detecting the postoperative expres-sions of Glypican3 ,MMP-9 and MMP-14 has certqain value to judge the prognosis in primary hepatocellular carcinoma .
