Abstract

Background: The Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) is one of the main growth factors associated with fibrosis or cirrhosis progression in the liver, but its role in hepatocarcinogenesis is controversial. To highlight the role of Transforming Growth Factor β as a marker of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

Methods: Ninety subjects were enrolled in this study, classified into three groups: Group I (chronic HCV group) included 30 patients with chronic HCV infection; Group II (HCC group) include 30 patients having HCC and chronic HCV infection and Group III consisted of 30 age and sex-matched healthy controls. TGF-β was evaluated in all the enrollees and its levels were correlated to liver function and other clinical parameters.

Results: TGF-β was found significantly higher in HCC group than in control and chronic HCV (P<0.001). In addition, it was correlated with biochemical and clinical parameters of cancer.

Conclusion: Patients with HCC showed increased level of TGF-β compared to chronic HCV infection patients and controls.

转化生长因子Β作为慢性丙型肝炎病毒感染患者肝细胞癌的标志物

背景:转化生长因子-β (TGF-β)是与肝脏纤维化或肝硬化进展相关的主要生长因子之一，但其在肝癌发生中的作用存在争议。目的探讨转化生长因子β在慢性丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染患者中作为肝细胞癌(HCC)标志物的作用。方法:90例受试者被纳入本研究，分为三组:第一组(慢性HCV组)30例慢性HCV感染患者;II组(HCC组)包括30例HCC合并慢性HCV感染的患者，III组包括30例年龄和性别匹配的健康对照。在所有受试者中评估TGF-β，其水平与肝功能和其他临床参数相关。结果:HCC组TGF-β水平明显高于对照组和慢性HCV组(p结论:HCC患者TGF-β水平高于慢性HCV感染患者和对照组。
