Objective To investigate the response of multiple myeloma (MM) cells to 8-chloroadenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (8-Cl-cAMP) and the impact of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the above reaction.Methods MM-derived cell lines RPMI8226 and U266 were used as in vitro models.Cell apoptosis was evaluated according to cellular morphology and DNA content measured by flow cytometry.Meanwhile,rhodamine 123 (Rh123) staining and flow cytometry assay were used to detect the changes of mitochondrial transmembrane potentials (△ψm) in MM cells before and after the treatment.The synergic effects of 8-Cl-cAMP and As2O3 were evaluated by King' s formula.Results The 8-Cl-cAMP could induce growth inhibition of RPMI8226 and U266 cells in dose and time-related manners.The 8-Cl-cAMP could trigger apoptosis and △ψm collapse in MM cells through cellular morphology and flow cytometry analysis.As2O3 accelerated 8-Cl-cAMP-mediated apoptosis of RPMI8226 cells,but there were few synergic effects observed.Conclusion 8-Cl-cAMP could induce cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in MM cells.Mitochondria may be one of targets in 8-Cl-cAMP-mediated apoptosis.Furthermore,As2O3 catalyzes 8-Cl-cAMP-induced apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of EPOCH regimen in the treatment of elderly patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Methods Twenty-eight elderly patients with pathologically diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma were treated with EPOCH regimen, including 96-hour continuous infusion of etoposide 50 mg/m2, epirubincin 12 mg/m2 and vincristin 0.4 mg/m2 on daysl through 4,cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 given as intravenous bolus on day 5 and prednisone 60 mg/m2 administered orally on daysl through 5. The EPOCH regimen was repeated very 21 days. Clinical efficacy and safety profiles of EPOCH regimen was systemically reviewed and analysed. Results All the 28 patients received a total of 85 cycles of EPOCH regimen. The median cycles was two courses. Fifteen patients achieved complete response, while five cases obtaining partial response. The overall response rate was 71.4 %. The median survival time was 20 months. In newly diagnosed patients, complete response rate (CR) as well as partial response (PR) and overall response rate (OR) reached 64.7 %, 23.5 % and 88.2 %, respectively, which was significantly higher than that in refractory cases, whose CR, PR and OR were 36.4 %, 9.1% and 45.5 %(λ 2 = 5.99, P ＜0.05). In addition, the median survivalduration of newly diagnosed patients was longer than that of refractory cases, whose median survival time was 24 and 13 months, respectively. The major adverse events was myelosuppression with grade 3-4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia in 53.6 % and 50.0 % cases.Non-hematologic toxicities were moderate and uncommon. The frequency of adverse effects in de novo patients showed little difference in comparison with that in refractory ones (P＞0.05). Conclusion EPOCH regimen was an effective and well tolerated therapeutic schedule for elderly patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
