目的 分析促红细胞生成素（EPO）及促红细胞生成素受体（EPOR）在肝细胞癌（NCC）以及正常组织中的表达规律,以及它们和肝细胞癌微血管密度（MVD）之间的关系。方法 选取我院手术切除的肝细胞肝癌的标本30例,取肿瘤边缘2.0 cm的肝组织作为对照,同时取正常肝脏组织10例做为阴性对照。利用酶联免疫吸附实验（ELISA）检测各组织中EPO及EPOR表达水平,利用免疫组织化学方法染色检测微血管密度（MVD）。对比癌组织和癌旁组织EPO、EPOR及MVD差异,分析NCC中EPO、EPOR、MVD与肿瘤病理特征的关系,分析EPO、EPOR表达水平与MVD之间的关系。结果 HCC组织中,EPR、EPOR、MVD均高于癌旁组织和正常组织,差异有统计学意义（P<0.001）,EPR、EPOR、MVD在癌旁组织和正常组织中,差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。肿瘤大小>5 cm、存在包膜侵犯、存在远处转移以及高中分化的HCC中,EPR、EPOR、MVD水平高于肿瘤大小≤5 cm、无包膜侵犯、无远处转移以及低分化的水平,差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。Person相关分析结果显示,EPO表达水平与MVD的相关系数r=0.651（P<0.001）,EPOR表达水平与MVD的相关系数r=0.620（P<0.001）。结论 EPO、EPOR、MVD在HCC中呈现高水平,且与肿瘤大小、局部侵犯、远处转移及分化程度有关,其机制可能与EPO、EPOR增加MVD有关。

Objective To analyze the expression of erythropoietin （EPO） and erythropoietin receptor （EPOR） in hepatocellular carcinoma （NCC） and normal tissues,and their relationship with hepatocyte microvessel density （MVD）. Methods Thirty specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma hepatectomy were selected from our hospital. The liver tissue at the edge of the tumor was taken as a control,and 10 cases of normal liver tissue were used as a negative control. The expression levels of EPO and EPOR in each tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）,and microvessel density （MVD） was detected by immunohistochemistry. The differences of EPO,EPOR and MVD between each tissues were compared. The relationship between EPO,EPOR,MVD and tumor pathological features in NCC was analyzed. The relationship between EPO and EPOR expression levels and MVD was analyzed. Results In HCC tissues,EPR,EPOR and MVD were higher than those in adjacent tissues and normal tissues. The difference was statistical difference （P<0.001）. EPR,EPOR and MVD were not statistically significant in adjacent tissues and normal tissues. P>0.05）. The levels of EPR,EPOR,and MVD in tumors with tumor size >5 cm,invasion of the capsule,distant metastasis,and high-differentiation were higher than those of tumor size ≤ 5 cm,no capsule invasion,no distant metastasis,and poor differentiation. The difference was statistical difference （P < 0.05）. Person correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficient between EPO expression level and MVD was r=0.651 （P<0.001）,and the correlation coefficient between EPOR expression level and MVD was r=0.620 （P<0.001）. Conclusion EPO,EPOR and MVD are highly expressed in HCC,and are related to tumor size,local invasion,distant metastasis and differentiation. The mechanism may be related to EPO and EPOR increasing MVD.
