抄録 This retrospective study evaluated the immunohistochemical expres-sion of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) : E-cadherinP-cateninandosteopontin in 125 surgically resected specimens of hepatocellular car-cinoma (HCC). This study aimed to identify factors associated withvascular invasion and to elucidate the prognostic value of CAMs. Theimmunoreactivity of E-cadherinb-cateninand osteopontin was sig・nificantly associated with Edmondson-Steiner gradebut not with tu-mor size. The incidence of vascular invasion was 35%. The logistic re-gression analysis revealed that tumor size >3 cmEdmondson-Steinergrade III-IVand overexpression of osteopontin were independentlyassociated with vascular invasion. The Cox proponional hazard regression analysis revealed that Edmondson-Steiner grade lll-IV (relativerisk [RR]3.028:P〈O.OO1)the presence of vascular血vasion (RR1.964 ; P=O.O11)overexpression of osteopontin (RR1.755 ; P= 0.034)serum alpha-fetoprotein level >20ng/mL (RR1.8sc ; P=O.037)andChild-Pugh classification B-C (RR1.880 ; P=O.caO) were found to beindependentiy signhicant factors associated with survival after he-patectomy. These results suggest that among the tested CAMs ex-pressionoverexpression of osteopontin independently correlates withvascular invasionand thus predicts a poor prognosis for patients withHCCwhereas E-cadherin and b-eatenin expression do not.
