Abstract:

Objective  To investigate the influence of hepatitis B virus(HBV) on the expression of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7(IGFBP7) and its clinical significance. Methods  The mRNA expression of IGFBP7 was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and serum levels of IGFBP7 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The different expressions of IGFBP7 among patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB), liver cirrhosis(LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) were analyzed. Results  The expression of IGFBP7 mRNA was higher in HepG2.2.15 cells than in HepG2 cells. Compared with healthy controls, serum IGFBP7 levels were much higher in HBV patients (P<0.05), and the serum levels of IGFBP7 were detected at lower levels in patients with LC and HCC than those with CHB(P<0.05). Conclusions  HBV can upregulate the expression of IGFBP7, which is negatively correlated with the disease progression.
