ABSTRACT
Objective Todetect the expressions of HGF ,C-met and NRP1 protein in osteosarcoma and to investigate their corre-lation and the clinical significance .Methods The postoperative preserved paraffin block and the clinical data in 70 cases of osteosar-coma were taken as the observation group and 50 cases of the parraffin block of mature bone tissue after decalcification and the clin-ical data were taken as the control group .The expressions of HGF ,C-met and NRP1 protein were detected by the immunohisto-chemistry(IHC) method for investigating their expressions in the tumor patients with different clinicopathological characteristics and analyzing their relationship .Results The positive rates of HGF ,C-met and NRP1 expressions in the observation group were higher than those in the control group .The positive rates of HGF ,C-met and NRP1 expressions in the observation group were cor-related with metastasis ,vascular invasion ,clinical stage and Ki67 expression .The positive relationship was found between the ex-pressions of HGF and C-met with NRP1 of neoplasm .Conclusion The high expressions of HGF ,C-met and NRP1 in osteosarcoma play the important role in the progress of tumor lesion .The postoperative combined detection of HGF ,C-met and NRP1 protein could have certain value to predict the prognosis .
