To study the relationship between insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II), IGF-II receptor, and chronic liver diseases and to investigate the clinical mechanisms of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development.
We analyzed IGF-II and IGF-II receptor poly (A)+ mRNA in dysplasia liver cell (DLC; n = 10), liver cirrhosis (LC; n = 9), and chronic active hepatitis (CAH; n = 9) specimens by Northern blot using human IGF-II and IGF-II receptor DNA probes labeled with (32) P through nick translation.
Expression of IGF-II in DLC samples (10/10, 100%) was higher than in CAH (3/9, 33%) and LC samples (3/9, 33%) (P < 0.01). Expression of IGF-II receptor in DLC samples (7/10, 70%) was significantly higher than in CAH (2/9, 22%) and LC samples (3/9, 33%). Data on hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection status from different chronic liver disease samples were also analyzed.
Overexpression of IGF-II and IGF-II receptor in DLC samples was associated with a preceding step to malignant phenotype hepatocyte transformation and may be of diagnostic value for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Persistent HBV infection was strongly associated with abnormal IGF-II and IGF-II receptor mRNA expression, suggesting that an autocrine or paracrine mechanism is involved in the regulation of growth in liver cell carcinogenesis.
研究胰岛素样生长因子II(IGF-II)、IGF-II受体与慢性肝病之间的关系,并探讨人类肝细胞癌(HCC)发生发展的临床机制。
我们通过Northern印迹法,使用经缺口平移法用(32)P标记的人IGF-II和IGF-II受体DNA探针,分析发育异常肝细胞(DLC;n = 10)、肝硬化(LC;n = 9)和慢性活动性肝炎(CAH;n = 9)标本中IGF-II和IGF-II受体聚腺苷酸加尾(poly (A)+)mRNA。
DLC样本中IGF-II的表达(10/10,100%)高于CAH样本(3/9,33%)和LC样本(3/9,33%)(P < 0.01)。DLC样本中IGF-II受体的表达(7/10,70%)显著高于CAH样本(2/9,22%)和LC样本(3/9,33%)。还分析了来自不同慢性肝病样本的乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染状态数据。
DLC样本中IGF-II和IGF-II受体的过表达与肝细胞向恶性表型转化的前期步骤相关,可能对肝细胞癌(HCC)的早期检测具有诊断价值。持续性HBV感染与IGF-II和IGF-II受体mRNA异常表达密切相关,提示自分泌或旁分泌机制参与肝细胞癌发生过程中的生长调节。
