Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the expression and clinical significance of homologous gene IRX1 in primary hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods30 patients with liver cancer who were treated by operation in People′s Hospital of Guangming New District in Shenzhen City and Shiyan People′s Hospital of Shenzhen City from May 2014 to May 2016 were selected as observation group,at the same period,30 volunteers or patients with benign liver diseases were selected as control group.Detection of mRNA transcription level and detection of IRX1 protein expression in liver tissue after IRX1 gene was prepared,and the differences of IRX1 expression were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe expression and transcription level of IRX1 protein in the liver tissue of the control group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05).In the observation group,the expression of IRX1 protein in high,middle and low differentiation was 1.90 times,3.31 times and 3.33 times of control group respectively.In the observation group,high,middle and low differentiation transcription level was 2.95 times,1.83 times,4.46 times as compared with that in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The positive rate of IRX1 in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).ConclusionIRX1 is involved in the incidence and devel opment process of hepatocellular carcinoma,and its expression is correlated with the degree of differentiation of liver cancer.IRX1 can be used as an indicator for judge the state of an illness in clinic.
