This study was designed to determine whether changes in p27Kip1 expression are involved in human hepatocarcinogenesis. We examined the p27Kip1 mRNA expression in hepatocellular carcinomas and surrounding non-cancerous liver tissue samples from 21 patients using a reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay. The mean p27Kip1 mRNA expression levels (ratio of p27Kip1/beta-actin mRNA) were significantly lower in hepatocellular carcinomas than in non-cancerous liver tissues (0.49 +/- 0.24 versus 0.57 +/- 0.22, P < 0.05). p27Kip1 mRNA expression was reduced in 11 (52%) of the 21 hepatocellular carcinomas when compared with the surrounding non-cancerous liver tissues. These findings suggest that reduced p27Kip1 expression may be at least partly responsible for human hepatocarcinogenesis.
