Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical significance of bone marrow microvessel density(MVD) and angiogenesis related factors in multipic myeloma(MM).
METHODS:Twenty cases of MM and 20 cases of simple fracture were selected and enrolled in MM group and control group respectively. The clinical data and results of laboratorial tests were collected; the bone marrow MVD of patients was detected by using the modified plastic-embedded pathologic sections of bone marrow tissue and histochemistry staining, the expression levels of amgiogenesis-related factors including VEGF, TNF-α, HGF, TGF-α, TGF-β1, bFGF, Ang-Ⅰ, Ang-Ⅱ in bone marrow supernatant were detected by ELISA; the mRNA expression levels of above-mentioned cytokines in bone marrow mononuclear cells were detected by real time-PCR; the pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of MVD with VEGF, HGF and bFGF levels.
RESULTS:The MVD in MM group was significantly higher than that in control group (P＜0.001); the mRNA expression of VEGF, TGF-α, TGF-β1 and HGF in bone marrow mononuclear cells of MM group was higher than that of control group(P＜0.001); the levels of VEGF, HGF, bFGF and THF-α in bone marrow supernatant of MM group were higher than those in control group(P＜0.05), moreover, the MVD positively correlated with levels of VEGF, HGF and bFGF in bone marrow(r=0.488, 0.472 and 0.457).
CONCLUSION:The MVD and levels vessel-related factors in bone marrow supernatant of MM patients increase, among which the levels of VEGF and HGF in bone marrow supernatant are consistant with those mRNA expression level in bone marrow mononuclear cells, moreover, the MVD possitively cerrelates with levels of VEGF, HGF and bFGF in bone marrow supernatant, suggesting that the changes of bone marrow microenvironment vassel-related factors play an important role in angiogenesis and pathogenesis of multiple myeloma.
