Abstract
Objective
To investigate the expression of FNDC5 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of HCC patients.
Methods
Immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expression of FNDC5 in HCC tissues, and the relationship between its expression and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis.
Results
FNDC5 was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of HCC cells, weakly expressed in the nucleus. Among the 30 liver cancer tissues, FNDC5 was weakly positive in 5, positive in 19, and strongly positive in 6 cases. QRT-PCR assay showed that FNDC5 was highly expressed in HCC tissues with vascular invasion.The incidence of vascular invasion in the high-expression of FNDC5 was 30% (9/30), which was significantly higher than that of the FNDC5 low-expression group[6.7% (2/30), ]and the difference was significant (χ2 =15.026, P 0.05).
Conclusion
FNDC5 level in the liver cancer tissues is closely related to the occurrence of vascular invasion.
