Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the function mechanism of PPAR -α in liver cancer on abnormal liver function after
transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE). Methods: VX2 hepatic cancer model in 26 New Zealand white rabbits model were
established with 86% successful rate(24/28). VX2 hepatic cancer models in rabbits were randomly divided to embolization group
(12), angiography group(12). Rabbits of very group were sacrificed 8 hours after TAE. Liver tissues surrounded HCC were collected
to make paraffin section, and the expression of PPAR-α in hepatic tissue was detected after hematoxylin & eosin(HE)staining and
immunohistochemistry. Results: Positive cells in embolization group ranged from 51%~85% with a positive assessment ++ / +++;
positive cells in angiography group were between 10%~30% with a positive assessment of + / ++. Statistical analysis showed that the
PPAR-α expression in cancer adjacent hepatic tissue of embolization group was significantly higher than angiography group(P<
0.05). Conclusion: After TAE, PPAR-α expression in tumor adjacent hepatic tissue increased significantly. The possible reason of
high expression of PPAR-α might be hypoxia ischemia of cancer adjacent normal tissues.
