GDF11 is increased in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome

چکیده
Objective: To explore the role of growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in erythropoietic functions. Methods: The serum GDF11 in MDS patients was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The percentage of nucleated erythroid cells (CD235a) in bone marrow was detected via flow cytometry. The correlation between these changes and erythropoietic function were evaluated. GDF11 mRNA expression in bone marrow mononuclear (BMMNC) was detected through real time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The concentration of GDF11 in high-risk MDS patients was significantly higher than that in low-risk MDS patients and higher than that in healthy controls. The concentration of GDF11 in low-risk MDS patients was significantly higher than that in healthy controls. In high-risk MDS patients, the expression of GDF11 was negatively correlated with hemoglobin, red blood cells, and hematocrit and positively correlated with reticulocyte, mean corpuscular volume, CD235a+ cells, and nucleated erythrocytes in bone marrow. In low-risk MDS patients, the expression of GDF11 was positively correlated with CD235a+ cells in bone marrow. The mRNA expression of GDF11 of BMMNC in the MDS group was higher than that in the control group. Conclusion: GDF11 was increased in patients with MDS and negatively correlated with late erythropoiesis.

Range Determination of Antigen Expression in Myeloid, Erythroid and Lymphoid Cell Lineages among Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome is a mixed clonal disorder of bone marrow progenitor cells. Understanding the pattern of the different lineage-specific, immature, and mature markers in myelodysplastic syndrome will help in setting-up the frame of reference to diagnose. Patients and Methods: We compared 60 bone marrow samples from 30 newly-diagnosed patients with myelodysplastic syndrome ...

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), is a group of heterogeneous disorders of hematopoietic stem cell colonies which is determined by incomplete hematopoiesis in one or more cell lines. The incidence increases with age and it has less been reported among patients under 50 years of age. The commonest form of MDS is sporadic, and familial occurrence of MDS is rare. Patients with familial MDS are young...

Background and Aims: Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) plays a pivotal role in the survival of hematologic and solid tumors, and is known as a substantial oncogene. Studies have demonstrated the altered expression of Mcl-1 has been linked to malignancy development and poor prognosis. In this research, we have studied the expression of Mcl-1 mRNA in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients and det...

Although aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are separate entities with different management, distinction between the two can be difficult on morphological basis due to hypocellularity of bone marrow. MDS is one of the serious complications of AA. Karyotyping is definitive in the diagnosis of MDS. Better and robust investigations like 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-Glucose Posi...

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a clonal bone marrow (BM) disease characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, dysplastic maturation and progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methylation silencing of HRK has been found in several human malignancies. In this study, we explored the association of HRK methylation status with its expression, clinical parameters and MDS subtypes in MDS pa...
