Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the expression of Peroxiredoxin-6 (Prdx6) gene in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its clinical significance.
METHODS:The expression level of Prdx6 in bone marrow cells of 33 cases of AML, 8 cases of CML and 11 cases of other blood diseases was detected by PCR. The correlation of the abnormal expression of Prdx6 with patient age and blood routine parameters was further analyzed.
RESULTS:the expression level of Prdx6 in elderly patients with AML (≥60 years) was significantly lower than that in younger patients (<60 years) (P<0.05); the expression level of Prdx6 in low WBC (≤1×10/L) group was lower than that in medium WBC (1-10×10/L) group or high WBC (>10×10/L) group (P<0.05); the proportion of WBC count (≤1×10/L) in elderly patients with AML reached 38.5%, which was significantly higher than that in younger patients (5%) (P<0.05); the overall survival (OS) rate of elderly patients was lower than that of younger patients (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION:The expression of Prdx6 in elderly patients with AML is low, moreover, it relates with low value of WBC in peripheral blood, suggesting that it may be one of poor prognostic factors for the elderly patients with AML.
