The dynamic changes of serum VEGF, CTGF, HIF-1 and OPN levels in patients with advanced liver cancer treated with Sola Feeney combined with TACE / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and the dynamic changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),connective tissue growth factor(CTGF),hypoxia inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α)and osteopontin(OPN)levels after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)combined with sorafenib in the treatment of advanced hepatocarcinoma(HCC)patients.Methods A total of 113 HCC patients in Cancer Hospital of Taizhou,from September 2013 to December 2014 were elected and were randomly divided into control group(n=56)and experiment group(n=57)according to random number.Control group were treated with sorafenib and experiment group were treated with TACE combined with sorafenib.The serum VEGF,CTGF,HIF-1α and OPN levels were tested and compared using indirect ELISA method preoperative and postoperative 1,3,7 days and which were carried out Spearman correlation analysis.The long-term clinical efficacy and adverse reaction in two groups were statisticed.Results The serum VEGF,CTGF,HIF-1α and OPN levels of two groups postoperative 1 day increased than preoperative(P0.05).Conclusion The levels of VEGF,CTGF,HIF-1α and OPN of HCC patients after treated with TACE combined with sorafenib are lower than that treated with TACE alone,Simultaneously,the survival is prolonged and adverse reactions don't increase.
