48例肝癌中survivin蛋白表达阳性率为64.6%. Edmondson分级Ⅰ-Ⅱ级患者survivin蛋白表达明显低于Ⅲ-Ⅳ级患者(39.1% vs 88.0%, P = 0.013). survivin蛋白表达阳性者肝癌细胞增生凋亡比显著高于表达阴性者(1.8 vs 1.1, P = 0.045). survivin蛋白表达阴性患者与表达阳性患者比较, 1 a生存率差异无显著意义, 但3 a生存率前者显著高于后者(70.6% vs 35.5%, P = 0.011).

AIM
To investigate the expression of survivin protein in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its relationship with clinical features and prognosis of patients with HCC.
METHODS
The expression of survivin protein and the proliferation of tumor cells marked by PCNA in 48 cases of HCC were assessed by immunohistochemical method. TUNEL method was used to detect apoptosis.
RESULTS
The survivin protein was expressed in 31 of 48 cases of HCC (64.6%). Expression of survivin protein was significantly higher in those of Edmondson grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ than in those of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ (88.0% vs 39.1%, P = 0.013). The ratio of proliferative index to apoptotic index was significantly higher in HCC with positive survivin expression than that with negative survivin expression (1.8 vs 1.1, P = 0.045). The survival rate of three years of patients with positive survivin expression was significantly lower than that of patients with negative survivin expression (70.6% vs 35.5%, P = 0.011).
CONCLUSION
The expression of survivin may play an important role in breaking the balance of proliferation and apoptosis of HCC cells and is closely associated with prognosis of patients with HCC.
