目的:探讨microRNA34a在非霍奇金淋巴瘤中的表达情况及其临床意义。方法:对40例非霍奇金淋巴瘤组织和20例淋巴结反应性增生组织行microRNA34a的实时定量检测,并结合患者的临床资料进行分析。结果:microRNA34a在非霍奇金淋巴瘤中呈显著低表达,尤其是在中高危及高危患者中其表达更低。多因素分析显示,microRNA34a的表达情况是患者治疗后能否缓解的一个独立预测因素。结论:microRNA34a在非霍奇金淋巴瘤中低表达,且其表达情况可作为一个预示患者对常规化疗方案是否有反应的指标。
Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of microRNA34a in non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma.Methods microRNA34a expression was assessed by real-time PCR in 40 samples of non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma and 20 samples of reactive hyperplasia.The clinical data of patients were analyzed with the microRNA34a results.Results The expression of microRNA34a was significantly lower in non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma than in reactive hyperplasia,and the expression was further lower in intermediate or high risk patients.Multivariate analysis showed that microRNA34a was an independent predicting factor for complete remission after treatment.Conclusions Expression of microRNA34a is down-regulated in non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma,and could be a predictor for the response to conventional chemotherapy regimens.
