Objective To detect the p120ctn expression and NF-κB activation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and analyze their relation with the clinicopathological factors for HCC. Methods NF-κB activation and p120ctn expression in 50 patients with HCC were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting
respectively. Results The NF-κB activation was up-regulated while the p120ctn expression was down-regulated in HCC (72% vs 66%). The NF-κB activation was closely related with the down-regulated p120ctn expression (r=0.399
P0.05). The NF-κB activation and p120ctn expression were related with the blood vessel invasion
satellite foci and tumor encapsulation (P0.05). Conclusion The up-regulated NF-κB activation is related with the down-regulated p120ctn expression in HCC as well as with the malignancy severity of HCC.
