The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among MTA2, Ki-67 and HCC patient prognosis. Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of MTA2 and Ki-67 in HCC samples and corresponding adjacent samples. We found MTA2 and Ki-67 were both increased in HCC tissues than those in adjacent tissues and nuclear MTA2 was associated with Ki-67 (P = 0.019). Moreover, nuclear MTA2 was a risk factor of distant metastasis in patients with HCC andKi-67 showed a negative correlation with histological grade (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). Multivariate Cox model analysis revealed that Ki-67 expression was an independent prognosis factor in HCC patients (P = 0.020). These results indicated there might be a tight correlation among MTA2, Ki-67 and HCC prognosis. MTA2 combined with Ki-67 might be used to predict HCC patient prognosis.
本研究旨在探讨MTA2、Ki-67与肝癌患者预后之间的关系。采用组织芯片和免疫组化法检测肝癌样本及相应癌旁样本中MTA2和Ki-67的表达。我们发现,肝癌组织中MTA2和Ki-67的表达均高于癌旁组织,且细胞核MTA2与Ki-67相关(P = 0.019)。此外,细胞核MTA2是肝癌患者远处转移的危险因素,Ki-67与组织学分级呈负相关(分别为P < 0.05,P < 0.01)。多因素Cox模型分析显示,Ki-67表达是肝癌患者的独立预后因素(P = 0.020)。这些结果表明,MTA2、Ki-67与肝癌预后之间可能存在密切关联。MTA2联合Ki-67可能用于预测肝癌患者的预后。
