Correlation between Clinicopathology and Expression of Heat Shock Protein 72 in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract:

Heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) is highly expressed in cancer tissues. Recent studies indicate the possible roles of HSP72 in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinomas but detailed information is still ambiguous. The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between clinicopathology and immunolocalization of HSP72 in human hepatocellular carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that HSP72 expression in hepatocellular carcinomas with metastasis was significantly higher than those with non-metastasis. HSP72 expression was significantly associated with the presence of tumor infiltration, lymph node and remote metastasis.
