Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant primary tumor in the liver, and the rates of incidence and mortality are rapidly increasing globally. Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a transcriptional regulator and is associated with tumorigenesis of several tumor types. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between HDAC8 expression and clinicopathological parameters in ICC patients.

Background: The stimulatory G protein a subunit (Gα) plays important roles in diverse cell processes including tumorigenesis. Activating mutations in Gα gene (GNAS) have been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in various human carcinomas. Furthermore, Gα signaling is crucial in promoting liver regeneration by interacting with growth factor signaling, indicating that Gα might play a promoting role in cancer development.
