Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of serum secreted frizzled‑related protein 5 (SFRP5), an inhibitor of Wnt signaling, in hepatitis B virus (HBV)‑associated infections and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Serum SFRP5 levels were detected in 147 patients with HBV‑associated chronic infection or HCC. Compared with the non‑HBV‑infected and non‑HCC group, the HBV‑associated chronic infection and HCC groups exhibited decreased serum SFRP5 levels. A significant inverse correlation between serum SFRP5 levels and HBV DNA levels was identified in the HBV‑associated chronic infection and HCC groups. Furthermore, SFRP5 levels differentially decreased in patients with HBV‑associated diseases, in a manner which was dependent on liver disease status. Compared with patients exhibiting HBV‑associated chronic infection, patients with HCC were found to exhibit lower serum SFRP5 levels. The results of the present study indicated that patients with HBV‑associated liver infection and HCC exhibited significantly deceased serum SFRP5 levels, which were found to negatively correlate with HBV DNA levels. Serum SFRP5 levels may present a biomarker for the severity of HBV‑associated liver infection, and the risk of HCC initiation and progression.
