Serum levels of sFas/sFasL and HBsAg/HBeAg were measured by ELISA assay. HBV X gene was detected by PCR in serum and confirmed by automatic sequencing. Fifty cases of liver cirrhosis and 30 normal controls were involved in serum analysis.RESULTS: The expression of HBxAg, Fas and FasL in carcinoma tissues was 96 %, 84 % and 98 %, respectively.Staining of HBxAg, Fas and FasL was observed predominately in cytoplasms, no significant difference was found in intensity between HBxAg, Fas and FasL (P>0.05). HBxAg, Fas and FasL might express in the same area of carcinoma tissues and this co-expression could be found in most patients with HCC. The mean levels of sFas in serum from HCC, cirrhosis and normal controls were 762.29±391.56 μg@ L-1 835.36±407.33 μg@L-1 and 238.27±135.29 μg@L-1. The mean levels of sFasL in serum from HCC, cirrhosis and normal controls were 156.36±9.61iμg@ L-1, 173.63±18.74 μg@L-1 and 121.96±7.83 μg@ L-1.Statistical analysis showed that both sFas and sFasL in HCC and cirrhosis patients were significantly higher than those in normal controls (P<0.01). Serum HBV X gene was found in 32 % of HCC patients and ,46 % of cirrhotic patients.There was no significant relationship between serum level of sFas/sFasL and serum X gene detection (P>0.05). Eight percent of HCC patients with negative HBsAg and HBeAg in serum might have X gene in serum and HBxAg expression in carcinoma tissues.CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that HBxAg and Fas/FasL system plays an important role in the development of human HCC. Expression of HBxAg can leads to expression of Fas/FasL system which and reverse apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma induced by FasL.展开更多
