Abstract: | Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is an uncommon clinical condition with a complex etiology. Pathogenesis of BCS is still poorly understood. We included hepatic veno-occlusive lesion tissues of 20 patients (patients group) with hepatic venous obstruction BCS and compared with 20 similar tissues with other etiologies (control group). Morphological changes in hepatic veno-occlusive lesion tissues and the positive expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), C-myc, and P-53 were observed by the pathological examination (H&E staining) and immunohistochemistry assay. Our results showed that PCNA and C-myc positive cell densities were significantly higher in patient group than control group. P-53 positive cell density showed increasing trends in patients than control group. Moreover, we observed irregular hyperplasia in intimal tissue, fibrous connective tissue, and smooth muscle cell, accompanied by tissue degeneration (hyaloid degeneration and fibrinoid degeneration) and a large quantity of inflammatory cell infiltration. In conclusion, an overexpression of PCNA, C-myc, and a weak positive expression of P53 might launch the extremely irregular hepatic venous intimal hyperplasia, which is probably one of the etiologies of hepatic venous obstruction BCS. |
