Abstract

STAT3 and hexokinase II (HK-II) are involved in viral infection and carcinogenesis of various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The roles of STAT3 and HK-II in hepatitis B virus (HBV)- and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC remain largely unclear. This study examined STAT3 and HK-II expression in HBV- and HCV-related HCC, HBV-related liver fibrosis, and normal control liver by using tissue microarray and immunohistochemical method. Results showed that STAT3 expression in HBV-related HCC, HCV-related HCC, and HBV-related liver fibrosis was significantly higher than in control liver (P < 0.001, P = 0.016, and P = 0.005, respectively) and had no significant differences between these three diseased liver tissues. The HK-II expression in HBV-related HCC was significantly higher than that in HCV-related HCC, HBV-related liver fibrosis, and control liver (P = 0.007, P = 0.029, and P = 0.008, respectively) but had no significant elevation in and no significant differences between HCV-related HCC, HBV-related liver fibrosis, and control liver. The HK-II expression was significantly correlated to STAT3 expression in HBV-related HCC (P = 0.022), but no correlation was observed in HCV-related HCC, HBV-related liver fibrosi...Continue Reading
