Analysis of Indicators Related with Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis in the Patients with B Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the indicators related with cell proliferation and apoptosis in patients with B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(B-NHL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seventy-two cases of B-NHL and 50 cases of reactive hyperplasia of lymph nodes were entrolled in the experimental group and control group respectively. The expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis(XIAP) and B cell lymphoma leukemia-2(BCL-2) in paraffin-embedded tissue samples of 2 groups were detected by immuno-histochemistry staining, and their ralationship with pathologic factors was analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The positive cell rates of PCNA, XIAP and BCL-2 in experiment group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05); the positive cell rate of PCNA in B-NHL patients at III-IV stage was higher than that in B-NHL patients at I-II stage(P<0.05), however, the positive cell rates of XIAP and BCL-2 in B-NHL patients with different pathologic factors were not significantly different(P>0.05). The progression-free survival(PES) time in PCNA low positive expression group was longer than that in PCNA high positive expression group(P<0.05), but the PFS time between B-NHL patients with XIAP positive and negative expression was not significantly different(P>0.05); the PFS time also was not significantly different between B-NHL patients with BCL-2 positive and negative expression(P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>All the PCNA, XIAP and BCL-2 participate in the pathngenesis of B-NHL, among them the positive level of PCNA obviously influences the clinical staging of B-NHL.</p>
