The clinical pathological significance of ILK and FABP4 protein expression in EHCC
Abstract
This study investigates the clinical and pathological significance of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) expression in EHCC. We utilized EnVision immunohistochemistry technology to assess the expression levels of ILK and FABP4 in 100 cases of patients with EHCC. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26.0 (Chicago). The proteins ILK and FABP4 exhibited elevated expression levels in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHCC) tumors when compared to peritumoral tissues, adenomas, and normal biliary tract tissues, with statistical significance noted (P
