Methods Eighty-five new hepatocellular carcinoma patients admitted to the Department of Interventional Radiology of Nantong University Hospital between 2021-01-01 and 2021-12-31 were selected for the study, and all of them were treated with TACE combined with targeted therapy. According to the RECIST solid tumor efficacy evaluation criteria, the patients were divided into the effective treatment group (n = 58) and the disease progression group (n = 27). The clinical data, BTLA, CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms between the 2 groups were compared and the correlation between BTLA, CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms and efficacy were analyzed, And follow-up survival status by phone at 18 months after the treatment was conducted to compare the survival status of patients with different genotypes, and analyze their correlation with survival prognosis. Results CTLA-4 rs231775, rs733618, rs3087243, rs4553808, BTLA and the genotypes of rs2171513, rs3112270, rs1982809 and rs16859629 all conformed to Hardy-Weinberg law of genetic balance. The BTLA rs3112270 AG, GG genotype ratio, rs1982809 GA, AA ratio, rs16859629 CC genotype, CTLA-4 rs231775 AA genotype ratio, rs3087243 GA, AA genotype ratio in the treatment effective group were all lower than those in the disease progression group, while the proportion of AA genotype at BTLA rs3112270, GG genotype at rs1982809, TT genotype at rs16859629, GG genotype at CTLA-4 rs231775, and GG genotype at rs3087243 were all higher than those in the disease progression group (P < 0.05); Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that BTLA rs3112270 A > G, rs1982809 G > A, rs16859629 T > C, CTLA-4 rs231775 A > G, rs3087243 G > A were all associated with the efficacy (P < 0.05); The 18 month survival rate of BTLA rs3112270 AA and AG genotype patients was higher than that of GG genotype patients, rs1982809 GG and GA genotype patients were higher than that of AA genotype patients, and rs16859629 TT genotype patients are higher than those of TC and CC genotype patients (P < 0.05); The 18 month survival rate of patients with CTLA-4 rs231775 GG and GA genotypes was higher than that of patients with AA genotypes, and the 18 month survival rate of GG genotype at rs3087243 was higher than that of patients with GA and AA genotypes (P < 0.05); Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that BTLA rs3112270 A > G, rs1982809 G > A, rs16859629 T > C, CTLA-4 rs231775 A > G, rs3087243 G > A were all associated with the survival prognosis (P < 0.05). Conclusion The polymorphisms of BTLA gene rs3112270, rs1982809, rs16859629, CTLA-4 gene rs231775, rs3087243 are closely related to the efficacy and prognosis of TACE combined with the targeted therapy for liver cancer and these will provide the reference for predicting TACE treatment. -
