1 Gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging reflects co-activation of beta-catenin and hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha in hepatocellular carcinoma. gadolinium ethoxybenzyl DTPA catenin beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 AIM: The aim of this study is to clarify the correlation of the co-activation of beta-catenin and hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)4alpha with the findings of gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B3 expression, and histological findings in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). gadolinium ethoxybenzyl DTPA catenin beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Enhancement ratio on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI in HCC with beta-catenin/GS (+) HNF4alpha (+) was significantly higher than those of the other three groups (P < 0.001). gadolinium ethoxybenzyl DTPA catenin beta 1 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: Co-activation of beta-catenin and HNF4alpha would promote OATP1B3 expression, and consequently higher enhancement ratio on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI and higher differentiation grade in HCC. gadolinium ethoxybenzyl DTPA catenin beta 1 Homo sapiens
