This study evaluated the relationship between immunologic markers and HCC risk, finding that ICAM-1 was associated with increased risk of HCC. Additionally, four additional proteins were identified to be associated with HBV- and HCV-related HCC.
Background Clinical and experimental studies suggest immunologic proteins contribute to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Aim To evaluate circulating immunologic markers and HCC risk. Methods From a Taiwanese cohort of chronically hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected individuals followed over time (REVEAL-HBV), we sampled 175 who developed HCC, 117 cirrhosis only, and 165 non-cirrhotic controls. From a similar Taiwanese cohort of chronically hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected individuals (REVEAL-HCV), we included 94 individuals who developed HCC, 68 cirrhosis only and 100 non-cirrhotic controls. We compared pre-diagnostic plasma levels of 102 markers in HCC cases to non-cirrhotic and cirrhotic controls using polytomous logistic regression. A priori markers included insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). P-values for other markers were corrected for multiple testing (false discovery rate = 10%). Results In both REVEAL-HBV and REVEAL-HCV, increasing levels of ICAM-1 were associated with increased risk of HCC compared to non-cirrhotic controls (P-trend 0.02 and 0.001, respectively). In both REVEAL-HBV and REVEAL-HCV, two novel markers [C-X-C motif chemokine 11 (CXCL11) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)] were positively associated [strongest odds ratio(quartile 4 versus 1) (OR) 4.55 for HGF in HCV], while two [complement factor H related 5 (CFHR5) and stem cell factor (SCF)] were negatively associated (strongest ORQ4vQ1 0.14 for SCF in HCV) with development of HCC compared to non-cirrhotic controls. Conclusions We confirmed the association for ICAM-1 and identified 4 additional proteins associated with HBV- and HCV-related HCC. These findings highlight the importance of immunologic processes in HBV- and HCV-related HCC.
