Analysis of<i>in vivo</i>patterns of caspase 3 gene expression in primary hepatocellular carcinoma and its relationship to p21WAF1 expression and hepatic apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

AIM:To detect the expression of caspase 3 gene in primary human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and investigate its relationship top21(WAF1) gene expression and HCC apoptosis.METHODS:In situ hybridization was employed to determine caspase 3 and p21(WAF1) expression in HCC.In situ end-labeling was used to detect hepatocytic apoptosis in HCC.RESULTS:Twenty-one of 39 (53.8%) cases of HCC were found to express caspase...
