ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the possibility of using melanoma antigen (MAGE)-1 and MAGE-3 gene encoding proteins as an index of potential target for immunotherapy in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expressions of MAGE-1 and MAGE-3 genes in tumor tissues and tumor adjacent non-IHCC liver tissues were examined by RT-PCR method. The relationship between positive expression rates of MAGE-1 and MAGE-3 genes and clinical data including sex, age, tumor diameters, tumor envelope, tumor nodules number, and hepatitis B virus surface antigen were determined.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive expression rates of MAGE-1 (35%) and MAGE-3 genes (45%) were significantly higher in the tumor tissues than in tumor adjacent tissues (0) (P<0.01). The positive expression rates of MAGE-1 and MAGE-3 genes had no relationship with the clinical data (P >0.05), except the morphology of tumor (P <0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The high expression rates of MAGE-1 and MAGE-3 genes in IHCC suggests the MAGE-1 and MAGE-3 gene may be a target for immunotherapy in IHCC patients.</p>
