Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the significance of expression of CCT subunit γ in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
METHODS: The expression of CCT subunit γ was detected by immunohistochemistry in 35 cases of HCC and tumor adjacent tissue and 12 cases of normal liver tissue.
RESULTS: The positive rate of CCT subunit γ expression in HCC was significantly higher than those in tumor adjacent and normal liver tissues (88.57% vs 62.86%, 41.67%, both P < 0.05). The expression of CCT subunit γ was not correlated with age, hepatitis B surface antigen, portal venous tumor emboli, AFP level, tumor size or clinical stage (all P > 0.05), but was negatively correlated with tumor differentiation (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: CCT subunit γ is overexpressed in HCC, and CCT overexpression may be related with HCC carcinogenesis.
