摘要
Background/Aims: The nm23-H1 gene is thought to act as a metastasis-suppressor gene. This study investigates the relationship between nm23-H1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and intrahepatic tumor recurrence after surgical resection of small hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Seventeen cirrhotic patients with solitary hepatocellular carcinoma <5 cm underwent surgical resection. In 7 patients, the neoplasm recurred after a 12-month median follow-up, whereas the other 10 patients were free of disease after a 30-month median follow-up. Both groups were similar according to age, sex, etiology, status of the underlying liver, tumor size, and other pathological characteristics of the neoplasm. nm23-H1 mRNA levels were assessed in matched tumor and surrounding cirrhotic liver samples by Northern blot hybridization using a 900-base pair probe, which is a BamHI fragment of pnm23-H1 recombinant complementary DNA clone encoding the nm23-H1 human gene. Results: Eight of the 10 patients without disease recurrence during follow-up showed nm23-H1 overexpression with an increase ranging between three- and 45-fold when compared with the nontumoral surrounding liver. Only 1 of the 7 patients with tumor recurrence showed higher nm23-H1 mRNA levels in the tumor than in the nonneoplastic sample (P = 0.013). Conclusions: nm23 mRNA overexpression in small solitary hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with a lower recurrence rate after surgical resection, suggesting that this gene may participate in the metastatic dissemination of this neoplasm. © 1994.
