http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/25031071http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Karyopherin α2 (KPNA2) functions as an adaptor that transports several proteins to the nucleus. Emerging evidence suggests that KPNA2 plays a crucial role in oncogenesis and early recurrence. In the present study, we evaluated the expression pattern of KPNA2 in 221 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens and matching adjacent, non-tumorous tissues (NT) by immunohistochemical assays. We found that nuclear KPNA2 expression was significantly upregulated (30.3 %, 67/221) in HCC tissues; however, no nuclear expression of KPNA2 in NT tissues was observed. A correlation analysis demonstrated that nuclear KPNA2 expression was positively associated with serum AFP level, tumor differentiation, vascular invasion, BCLC stage and early recurrence (all p < 0.05). Nuclear KPNA2 expression was associated with a poor prognosis in HCC patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that KPNA2 was an independent prognostic factor for both overall survival (p < 0.001) and time to recurrence (p < 0.001) in HCC patients. Furthermore, in a validation cohort, nuclear expression of KPNA2 was observed in 16 of 47 (34.0 %) small hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Importantly, the risk of recurrence associated with nuclear KPNA2 expression (9/16, 56.2 %) was significantly higher than the risk associated with an absence of nuclear KPNA2 expression (6/31, 19.3 %; p = 0.01). Our results demonstrate that nuclear KPNA2 expression is a poor prognostic biomarker for HCC, especially for early-stage HCC."xsd:string
