Paper description:
- Dysregulation of liprin-β1 has been implicated in several types of human cancers. However, the expression of liprin-β1 and its clinicopathologic significance in human hepatocellular carcinoma remains elusive.
- Protein expression of liprin-β1 in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocellular carcinoma was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and its clinical relevance was assessed. Liprin-β1 was elevated in hepatocellular carcinoma and was related to advanced tumour stage.
- Our findings provide a rationale that liprin-β1 may serve as a potential biomarker for human hepatocellular carcinoma.
Abstract: Liprin-β1 is one of the broadly-expressed liprin family members. Dysregulation of liprin-β1 has been implicated in several types of human cancers. However, the expression of liprin-β1 and its clinicopathological significance in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. We evaluated the protein expression of liprin-β1 in HCC and non-tumor liver tissues by immunohistochemistry, and investigated the relationship between liprin-β1 expression and the clinicopathological attributes of HCC. We found that liprin-β1 expression was significantly higher in HCC than in non-tumor liver tissues. Further analysis showed that higher levels of liprin-β1 in HCC were significantly associated with the advanced clinical stage. Interestingly, liprin-β1 was not detected in cholangiocellular carcinoma specimens. These findings suggest that an elevated expression of liprin-β1 may be involved in HCC progression, providing the rationale that upregulation of liprin-β1 may serve as a novel biomarker for human HCC.
