Abstract:
This study was purposed to explore the relationship between the mRNA expression of telomere protection protein TIN2 and POT1 and the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The expression of TIN2 and POT1 genes at the mRNA levels were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR in 51 patients with MDS and 10 normal controls. The results showed that the mRNA expressions of TIN2 in RA/RARS/RCMD/MDS-U, RAEB-1 and RAEB-2 groups according to the World Health Organization criteria were significantly higher than that in the controls (P < 0.05); the mRNA expressions of POT1 in RA/RARS/RCMD/MDS-U, RAEB-1 and RAEB-2 groups were significantly lower than that in the controls (P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of TIN2 in high-risk group, inter risk-2 group and inter risk-1 group according to the international prognostic scoring system criteria were significantly higher than that in controls (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between low risk group and the control group. The mRNA expressions of POT1 in high risk group, inter-risk-2 group and inter-risk-1 group were significantly lower than the controls (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between low risk group and the control group. The mRNA expression of TIN2 in normal chromosome group was significantly lower than that in abnormal chromosome group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between normal chromosome group and the control group. The mRNA expression of POT1 in normal chromosome group was significantly higher than that in abnormal chromosome group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between normal chromosome group and the control group. It is concluded that the abnormal mRNA expression of TIN2 and POT1 may be involved in the regulation of telomere dynamics of MDS patients, the regulatory mechanism may be related to the telomere length and the pathogenesis of MDS.
