The expression and prognostic significance of PAK5 and CyclinD1 in hepatocellular carcinoma / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expression characteristics of PAK5,CyclinD1 in HCC and its relationship with clinicopathological factors and prognosis.Methods The immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of PAK5 and CyclinDl in 76 cases of HCC tissue and 31 cases of adjacent liver tissue.The correlation between the abnormal expression of PAK5 and CyclinD1 and clinicopathological factors and prognosis was also analyzed.Results The PAK5 expression in tumor lesions and adjacent tissue was 86.8％ (66/76) and 54.8％ (17/31) (x2 =12.962,P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,the CyclinD1 was positive in 73.7％ (56/76) of the HCC tissue and in 41.9％ (13/31) of the adjacent tissue (x2 =9.691,P ＜0.05).The expression of PAK5 was significantly correlated with sex (x2 =5.063,P =0.024),tumor diameter(x2 =9.159,P =0.002) and portal vein-emboli (x2 =4.469,P =0.035).CyclinD1 expression was correlated with portal vein-emboli (x2 =4.842,P =0.028),TNM (x2 =7.930,P =0.005).PAK5 expression was positively correlated with CylinD1 (γ =0.284,P =0.033).The mean survival time of PAK5positive patients after operation was shorter than the PAK5 negative patients(x2 =7.104,P =0.008).By Cox multiple factors analysis,the PAK5 expression was independent impact factors affecting the prognosis of HCC patients (RR =0.186,P =0.012).Conclusion In HCC patients positive PAK5 expression predicts poor postoperative survival.
