Objective To investigate the new genes associated with the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)by analyzing the transcriptome database downloaded from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database. Methods The mRNA expression profiles and associated clinical data, including 347 liver cancer tissues and 50 normal tissues, were obtained from TCGA database, and R software was used to explore the mRNA expression differences of Ephrin A1-5(EFNA1-5).The biomarker combined of multi EFNAs was established by logistic model.HCC group was divided into four group according to the Stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ, and each group was compared to the normal group.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to access the diagnostic value of one Ephrin As (EFNAs) and such biomarker combined of multi EFNAs in predicating the occurrence and progression of HCC. Results The mRNA expressions of EFNA1, EFNA3 and EFNA4 in HCC group were higher than those in the normal group, while the mRNA expressions of EFNA2 and EFNA5 were lower than those in the normal group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01).The area under the curve (AUC) of the biomarker combined of EFNA3 and EFNA4 was 0.923, its sensitivity was 0.879 and specificity was 0.880.Furthermore, the AUC of the biomarker combined of EFNA3 and EFNA4 was 0.908, 0.946, 0.938 respectively in predication of HCC progression such as Stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, which was higher than that of single EFNAs(P<0.01). Conclusion EFNAs maybe a valuable biomarker in predicating the occurrence of HCC, especially the synergistical predication biomarker combined of EFNA3 and EFNA4.
