Adverse Prognostic Impact of Bone Marrow Microvessel Density in Multiple Myeloma
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis is important for the proliferation and survival of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Bone marrow (BM) microvessel density (MVD) is a useful marker of angiogenesis and is determined by immunohistochemical staining with anti-CD34 antibody. This study investigated the prognostic impact of MVD and demonstrated the relationship between MVD and previously mentioned prognostic facto...
متن کاملPrognostic value of bone marrow angiogenesis in multiple myeloma.
We studied the prognostic value of angiogenesis grading and microvessel density estimation in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Seventy-five patients with newly diagnosed myeloma, treated on Eastern Cooperative Oncology Protocol E9486 and Intergroup study 0141 (S9321) at the Mayo Clinic, were studied. Bone marrow microvessels were examined using immunohistochemical staining for von Willebrand f...
متن کاملClinical significance of microvessel density in multiple myeloma patients.
To investigate the role of angiogenesis in multiple myeloma (MM), bone marrow biopsy from 75 adults with newly diagnosed, untreated MM were evaluated. Microvessels were scored in at least 3 areas ( x 200 fields) of the highest microvessel density in representative sections of each bone marrow specimen using immunohistochemistry for CD34. Prognostic variables were also evaluated for the overall ...
متن کاملIn vitro Effect of Pomalidomide on Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells from Multiple Myeloma Patients
Background: Many features of anticancer drugs, including cytotoxicity and/or cytokine induction, are studied using cell lines orhuman blood leukocytes. However, in a disease such as multiple myeloma, most cancerous cells are resided within bone marrowmononuclear cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of pomalidomide on apoptosis and IL-2 production of bonemarrow mononuclear cel...
متن کاملBone Marrow Microenvironment in Multiple Myeloma Progression
Substantial advances have been made in understanding the biology of multiple myeloma (MM) through the study of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. Indeed, the BM niche appears to play an important role in differentiation, migration, proliferation, survival, and drug resistance of the malignant plasma cells. The BM niche is composed of a cellular compartment (stromal cells, osteoblasts, osteo...
