Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Liver Transplantation, Prognosis
Conditions
Brief summary
The study evaluated the protein expression levels of FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and paracancerous tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC). This study aimed to determine the role of FKBP12 in the outcome of liver transplantation recipients with HCC, especially those exceeding the Milan criteria. In addition, we explored how sirolimus administration affected LT recipients'prognosis depending on different FKBP12 expression, aiming to provide some advice for clinical sirolimus application after LT.
Interventions
The expressions of FKBP12 were determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) , and the immunoreactive score (IRS), calculated by multiplying the staining intensity grades by the proportion of positive cells, was used to assess the expression levels of FKBP12. IRS (0-7) represented low expression levels, and IRS (8-12) represented high expression levels.
