Significance of glucose intolerance and SHIP2 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma patients with HCV infection.

Abstract:

:Glucose intolerance frequently is found in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; however, the significance of glucose intolerance remains unclear. In addition, SH2 domain-containing inositol phosphatase (SHIP) 2 is a negative regulator of intracellular insulin signaling; however, changes in SHIP2 expression have not been investigated in HCC. To assess the significance of glucose intolerance, we analyzed 118 HCC patients with HCV infection. Twenty HCC specimens were used for immunoblotting and immunostaining for SHIP2. Patients were classified into two groups: a glucose intolerance group (n=39) and a normal glucose tolerance group (n=79). There was no significant difference in the disease-free survival (P=0.838) or long-term survival (P=0.091) between the groups. However, for males, the cumulative survival rate was significantly lower in the glucose intolerance group (n=22) than that in the normal glucose tolerance group (n=52) (P=0.036). In multivariate analysis, Child-Pugh class (P=0.0003) and glucose intolerance (P=0.036) were identified as statistically significant and independent prognostic factors in males. SHIP2 expression level decreased in HCC compared to that in nontumor tissues. In conclusion, this study is the first to demonstrate the significance of glucose intolerance in prognosis of male HCC patients and down-regulation of SHIP2 expression in HCC.
