Objective To investigate the expression of angiopoietin 1 and 2(Ang1,Ang2)in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)and its survival prognosis analysis.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 32 patients with initially diagnosed DLBCL and 30 healthy volunteers(the health control group),and the serum Ang1 and Ang2 levels were detected by ELISA.The biopsy tissues from DLBCL patients and the resec-ted normal lymph node biopsy tissues in neck surgery of 25 patients with non-tumor lesions(the control group)were taken as the specimens.The immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CD34 in lymphoid tissues and the microvessel density was calculated;the statistical analyses were carried out by combi-ning with the clinical characteristics of the DLBCL patients and the follow-up data.Results The serum Ang1 level in initially diagnosed DLBCL was higher than that in the healthy control group[(36.22±9.12)ng/mL vs.(30.92±13.37)ng/mL],and the serum Ang2 level in initially diagnosed DLBCL was higher than that in the healthy control group[(28.42±10.78)ng/mL vs.(23.81±3.68))ng/mL],and the differences were sta-tistically significant(P＜0.05).CD34 was highly expressed in the lymphoma tissues of the patients with DL-BCL,whereas CD34 in normal lymph node tissues was weakly expressed;the microvessel density count in the DLBCL group was increased compared with the normal lymph node group(25.5±4.4 vs.13.2±3.0,P＜0.05).The Ang1 expression level had no significant correlation with the gender,age,IPI score,clinical stage and COO subtype.The Ang2 expression was correlated with the clinical stage,Ang2 was lowly expressed in the patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ DLBCL,while which was highly expressed in the patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ(P＜0.05);Ang2 had no significant correlation with the gender,age,IPI score and COO subtype.The OS time had no significant difference between the patients with Ang1 low expression and the patients with Ang1 high expression(25.86 months vs.23.11 months,P=0.722);the OS time in the patients with Ang2 low ex-pression was significantly higher than in the patients with high Ang2 expression(32.24 months vs.17.66 months,P=0.002).In the univariate analysis,Ann Arbor stage,IPI score and Ang2 all were the prognostic factors affecting the patients'OS,while gender,age and Ang1 had no significant correlation with the patients'OS.In Cox multifactorial analysis,the Ann Arbor stage,IPI score and Ang2 all were the independent prog-nostic factors affecting the patients'OS.prognostic factors.Conclusion Ang1 and Ang2 are highly expressed in DLBCL patients and promote lymphoma angiogenesis;Ang2 affects the survival prognosis of DLBCL patients.
