主 题:Glypican-3 Wnt Matrix metalloproteinases Sulfatase Hepatocellular carcinoma
摘 要:AIM:To clarify the association of glypican-3(GPC3)expression with Wnt and other growth signaling molecules in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). METHODS:Expression of GPC3,Wnt,matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs),sulfatase(SULF)1,SULF2,and other growth signaling molecules was analyzed in HCC cell lines and tissue samples by real-time reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction,immunoblotting,and/or *** of various genes in GPC3 siRNA-transfected HCC cells was analyzed. RESULTS:GPC3 was overexpressed in most HCCs at mRNA and protein levels and its serum levels weresignificantly higher in patients with HCC than in non- HCC subjects(P0.05).Altered expressions of various MMPs and growth signaling molecules,some of which were correlated with GPC3 expression,were observed in ***-regulation of GPC3 expression by siRNA in GPC3-overexpressing HCC cell lines resulted in a significant decrease in expressions of MMP2,MMP14,fibroblast growth factor receptor 1,insulin-like growth factor 1 ***3 expression was significantly correlated with nuclear/cytoplasmic localization ofβ-catenin. CONCLUSION:These results suggest that GPC3,in conjunction with MMPs and growth signaling molecules, might play an important role in the progression of HCC.
