Abstract:

Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) as a way of application of microarray gene signatures. More to the point, the specificity of such genes for this distinction was investigated by their measurement in cases afflicted with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and with normal bone marrow (BM). Material and Method Mononuclear cells were sorted into unselected (total), CD34+ve, and CD34-ve fractions, mRNA globally amplified by using PolyA PCR. Moreover, the level of expression of 17 Indicator genes was identified by using real-time PCR. Results No statistically significant difference was observed in expression for any gene among CML cases. Cyclin D3 (p≤0.04) was exclusively upregulated in CML in the CD34+ fraction, notwithstanding upregulation of HkrT-1 (p≤0.02) and fumarylacetoacetate (p≤0.03) in AML. HOXA9 experienced a non-significant upregulation in AML however, in combination with proteoglycan 1 distinguished between AML and normal samples in the CD34- fraction in unsupervised clustering. Unsupervised clustering distinguished among AML and the other diagnostic groups. Conclusion The evidence from the present study suggests that the genes discriminatory between ALL and AML are uninformative in the context of CML and normal BM, excepting for distinction with AML.

Alterations of adiponectin gene expression in bone marrow of acute myeloid leukemia

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by the proliferation of myeloid precursors and abnormal differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, which results in the accumulation of immature cells in the bone marrow (BM). The accumulation of these cells in the bone marrow causes molecular and cellular changes in the microenvironment of the bone marrow. The adiponectin hormone orig...

The Difference in Initial Leukocyte Count, Bone Marrow Blast Cell Count and CD 34 Expression in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia with and without NPM1 gene Mutation

Background: Mutation in NPM1 gene has been reported to be the most common genetic mutation in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML with NPM1 gene mutation usually presents with higher initial leukocyte and blast cell counts and negative CD34 expression. We aimed to investigate the difference of initial leukocyte counts, bone marrow blast cell counts and expression of CD34 among patients wi...

Alpha-Synuclein Expression in Acute Erythroleukaemia, Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia, and Normal Counterparts in Bone Marrow

Background:Alpha-synuclein is a member of synuclein family of proteins with unidentified function localized in the cytoplasm, mitochondria of neurons, and presynaptic nerve endings. Although it is found in the Lewy bodies in synucleinopathies and in Alzheimer’s disease, the protein could also be considered as a novel marker in diagnosis of dis...
