abstract

alterations in the expression of micrornas (mirnas) have been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll). dicer is one of the main regulators of mirna biogenesis, and deregulation of its expression has been indicated as a possible cause of mirna alterations observed in various cancers. our aim was to analyze the expression of the dicer protein and its relationship with all and cll. this cross-sectional study was performed from 2010 to 2012 in shahid faghihi hospital, shiraz, iran. in this study, 30 patients with cll, 21 patients with all, 10 child healthy donors, and 19 adult healthy donors were recruited. the patients’ samples were checked via flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry. the controls’ samples were also examined in the hematology ward. total rna was extracted from the bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of the patients and controls. then, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to estimate the level of dicer mirna. the outcomes of the expression analysis of dicer revealed statistically significant differences between the all patients/child healthy controls (mean±sd, 0.19±0.28 vs. 0.73±0.12; p<0.001) and the cll patients/adult healthy controls (mean±sd, 0.24±0.25 vs. 0.41±0.28; p=0.033). this is the first piece of evidence showing that the expression of the dicer gene greatly decreased in the patients with all in comparison to the child controls. the expression of the dicer gene was also downregulated in the patients with cll  compared to the adult controls. given the above findings, the expression of dicer may play an important role in the progression and prognosis of these diseases.

PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF MYELOID ANTIGEN EXPRESSION IN ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA

Expression of cell surface molecules associated with lymphoid and myeloid lineage differentiation on the blasts of 53 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was investigated. 1.9% of cases were only HLA"7DR+ 7.6% were HLA-DR+, CDI9+ 22.6% were HLA-DR+, CDI9+, CDI0+ 30.2% were HLADR+, CDI9+, CDlO±, CD20+ and 37.7% were HLA-DR±, CD7+, CD5±. Aberrant expression of one or more myeloi...

Expression of ROR1 Gene in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) results from genetic alterations in a single lymphoid progenitor cell. Expression of ROR1 is reported to be increased in ALL and mantle cell lymphoma. In this study the expression of ROR1 was assessed in newly diagnosed patients with ALL.  Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients with newly diagnosed ALL and healthy individuals as contro...

UBE2Q1, as Down Regulated Gene in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Ubiquitin - proteasome system (UPS), the major protein degradation pathway in the cells, typically degrades short - lived and damaged proteins and regulates growth and stress responses. This pathway is altered in various cancers, including Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL begins with a change in bone marrow cells and is the most common type of leukemia in children under 15 years. UBE2Q1...

Blimp-1 Expression as an Exhaustion Transcription Factor in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Background: PPreviously, it was shown that exhausted CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) co-express the two immune-inhibitory receptors, Tim-3 and PD-1. Present study investigated the expression of Blimp-1, a transcription factor involved in T cell exhaustion, in patients with CLL. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from 25 untreate...
