ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the clinical value of peripheral blood T lymphocytes in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation.Methods:
The clinical and laboratory data of 50 HCC patients, who received liver transplantation and were followed up in the Liver transplantation Center of Beijing Youan Hospital from January 2014 to December 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. The differences on clinical laboratory indicators and five-year survival were compared between HCC recurrence group ( n=29) and non-recurrence group ( n=21). Spearman correlate analysis was used to analyze the correlation between clinical laboratory indicators and HCC recurrence after liver transplantation. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of CD4+T lymphocytes in HCC recurrence after liver transplantation. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to compare the survival time of patients with different CD4+T lymphocytes levels post liver transplantation.Results:
Compared to non-recurrence group, the level of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, albumin, lymphocytes, alpha-fetoprotein, protein induced by vitamin K deficiency or antagonist-Ⅱ, CD3+, CD4+and CD8+T lymphocytes were significantly different (all P<0.05). The median recurrence time after liver transplantation was 13.0 (6.0, 24.0) months, and the mortality rate was 100%. The 5-year mortality rate was 0 in the non-recurrence group. During 5-year follow-up, the median survival time of patients in the HCC recurrence group was 18.0 (9.0, 36.0) months, which was significantly lower than that of non-recurrence group [60.0 (60.0, 60.0) months, ( P<0.05)]. Compared with non-recurrence group, the CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+T lymphocytes were significantly lower in the recurrence group (all P<0.05). Spearman correlate analysis showed that HCC recurrence after liver transplantation was negatively correlated with the CD3+, CD8+and CD4+T lymphocytes ( r=-0.43, -0.38, -0.44, all P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that CD4+T lymphocytes at cutoff of≤265.50 cells/μl was valuable for the diagnosis of HCC recurrence after liver transplantation (specificity 100%, sensitivity 48.30%). Survival curve analysis showed that the survival time was significantly lower in the CD4≤265.50 cells/μl group [15.0 (10.0, 36.8) months] than that in the CD4>265.50 cells/μl group [53.0 (19.5, 60.0) months] ( P<0.05).Conclusion:
There is a significant negative correlation between CD4+T lymphocytes and HCC recurrence after liver transplantation. CD4+T lymphocytes at cutoff value of≤265.50 cells/μl is valuable for the clinical diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of HCC recurrence after liver transplantation.
