The correlation of NLRC3 expression to the progression and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma

NLRC3 is a member of the NLR (nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat) family protein that plays a role in inflammation and immunity. Although chronic inflammation has been identified as a hallmark of cancer, whether NLRC3 expression correlated to the development and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear. In the present study, we first used Oncomine and OncoLnc database to determine the clinical significance of NLRC3 in HCC. Then we performed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western-blot and immunohistochemical staining (IHC), and analyzed the correlation between NLRC3 expression and clinicopathological features in HCC of Chinese population.
