Abstract:
The expression of P53 protein was examined in 73 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its surrounding tissues with LSAB immunohistochemical technique. The results showed that positive expression of P
53 in HCC was significantly higher than that in surrounding tissues, and correlated with histological differentation,P
53 positive rate in poor differentation was higher than that in well differentation (
P<0.05 ). In surroun-d-ing tissues, P
53 protein expression was only in liver hyperplastic nodule(LHN), not in liver cirrhosis(LC). Suggesting that mutation of P
53 gene is frequent and correlated with progression of HCC; LHN is preneoplasia lesions of HCC.
