Objective To investigate the expression levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), sugar chain antigen-125 (CA125), and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) in peripheral blood of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their clinical significances. Methods Thirty cases of DLBCL diagnosed by pathology in Fenyang Hospital of Shanxi Province and Shanxi Dayi Hospital from December 2011 to June 2013, 20 cases of healthy individuals as normal control group were enrolled. The levels of serum VEGF, CA125 and β2-MG in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serum levels of LDH were detected by the rate method for measuring. Results The expression levels of VEGF, LDH, CA125 and β2-MG in DLBCL patients were higher than those in the healthy control group [(368±194) vs. (156±48) pg/ml, t=5.718, P=0.000;(487±252) vs. (177±32) U/L, t= 6.658, P= 0.000; (58 ±16) vs. (19 ±10) U/ml, t= 9.701, P= 0.000; (3.1 ±1.5) vs. (1.6 ±0.3 ) mg/L, t=5.612, P=0.000]. The expression levels of serum VEGF and LDH in DLBCL patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ [(506±165) vs. (275±154) pg/ml, t= 3.896, P=0.000; (886 ±433) vs. (220 ±86) U/L, t= 5.244, P= 0.000]. The expression levels of VEGF and LDH in DLBCL patients with bone marrow infiltration were higher than those in patients without bone marrow infiltration [(505±201) vs. (299±152) pg/ml, t= 3.148, P= 0.004; (798±463) vs. (331±166) U/L, t= 3.113, P=0.005]. There were no significant differences in the expression levels of VEGF and LDH between patients with A symptoms and B symptoms (all P>0.05). The serum levels of CA125 and β2-MG in the observation group had not relationship with clinical stage, the presence of A or B symptoms and the presence of bone marrow infiltration (all P> 0.05). The high expression of VEGF had correlation with the high expression of LDH in the observation group (r=0.458, P<0.05). Conclusions The expression levels of VEGF, LDH, CA125 andβ2-MG in DLBCL patients before treatment are high, and the high expression levels of VEGF and LDH are closely related to the clinical stage, disease progression and invasion. Combined detection of VEGF and LDH may be a useful predictor of bone marrow involvement in patients with DLBCL.

Résumé
Objective To research correlation of serum protein spectrometry and lymphoma markers for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Whether there is relative between the protein and prognosis will be further researched. Methods Serum protein spectrometry of 62 DLBCL patients was detected by the SELDI-TOF-MS technique and Weak cation exchange 2 (WCX2) chip. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected by biochemistry method. Beta-2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and cancer antigen125(CA125)were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of LDH, β2-MG and CA125 for DLBCL patients between 11×103~12×103 protein expressed positively and negatively was analyzed. Meanwhile,correlation analysis and survival analysis were done. Results LDH, β2-MG and CA125 in 11×103~12×103protein expressed positive group were (523.30±435.96)U/L, (3.23±1.24)mg/L, (81.07±61.39)U/L respectively,and they were higher than that in negative group (P<0.05). 11×103~12×103 protein was positive correlated to LDH, β2-MG and CA125 (P<0.01). The survival time in 11×103~12×103 protein expressed in positive group,in which median survival time was 11 months, was shorter than that in negative group(P <0.01). The survival time in LDH normal group was longer than that in increased group(P <0.01). The survival time of β2-MG and CA125 had no significant difference between increased group and normal group. Conclusion LDH and 11×103~12×103 protein are expected to be prognosis indicators for DLBCL patients.
