The main objective of the study is to investigate the expression level of chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and cell lines, and its effect on the proliferation, invasion and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression levels of chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 in 89 hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and tumor-adjacent tissues. Cell migration and invasion were detected by transwell assay. A subcutaneous xenograft model was constructed in nude mice to investigate the effect of chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 gene knockdown on tumor growth. Immunohistochemistry results indicated that 79.78 % of hepatocellular carcinoma patients had highly expressed chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 proteins and the expression in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in tumor-adjacent tissues. The proliferation, invasion and migration of hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 cells with chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 gene knockdown were inhibited, while those of human hepatoma-derived Huh-7 cells with chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 gene overexpression were enhanced. In vivo experiments also confirmed that the tumor growth rate in the chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 knockdown group was significantly slower than that in the vector group. Chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 is an independent poor prognostic factor of hepatocellular carcinoma and its expression is significantly upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and cell lines. Chaperonin containing t-complex polypeptide 1 subunit 2 can significantly promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells, suggesting that it can be an important therapeutic target for hepatocellular carcinoma.
