Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the ANP32B (acidic leucine-rich nuclear phosphoprotein 32B)expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and determine its clinical significance. Methods: The mRNA expression of ANP32B in hepatocellular carcinoma and the overall survival were analyzed using international public datasets. The protein expression of ANP32B in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue was detected by immunoblotting. ANP32B was knockdown by shRNA in HCC cell lines, and cell growth and colony formation were analyzed; cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Results: ANP32B mRNA and protein level were highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma, and the higher ANP32B mRNA level was associated with shorter survival. Knockdown of ANP32B in HCC cell lines inhibited cell growth and colony formation, induced cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis. Conclusions: ANP32B is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. Knockdown of ANP32B in HCC cell lines inhibited cell growth and colony formation, induced cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis.
