Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the relationship of PBK/TOPK expression with treatment response and survival prognosis in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML). Methods From July 2016 to March 2017,80 elderly patients with AML in Quzhou People’s Hospital were enrolled,and 32 patients with non malignant blood diseases undergoing bone marrow biopsy were enrolled as control group. The general clinical data,cytogenetic and molecular biological data of AML group were collected. The relative expression of PBK/TOPK in bone marrow mononuclear cells was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR). The AML group was treated with induction therapy,and the complete remission(CR) rate was calculated. The patients were followed up for 3 years. The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method. The relationship between PBK/TOPK expression level and overall survival(OS) and event free survival(EFS) was analyzed. Results The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expression of PBK/TOPK in bone marrow mononuclear cells of elderly patients with AML was higher than that of control group. The expression level of PBK/TOPK was related to hemoglobin(Hb),platelet(PLT)count,chromosome karyotype and gene mutation. The high expression of PBK/TOPK had low CR rate(P<0.05). The results of survival analysis showed that the 3-year survival rate of PBK/TOPK low expression group was higher than that of PBK/TOPK high expression group(P<0.05),and the EFS of patients with high PBK/TOPK expression was lower than that of patients with PBK/TOPK low expression(P<0.05). Conclusions The expression of PBK/TOPK in elderly patients with AML is higher,and its high expression is related to the clinical characteristics of patients,which has a predictive value for the survival and prognosis of elderly patients with AML.
