ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the mRNA expression levels of TERT and TIN2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of acquired aplastic anemia(AAA) patients, and to explore their correlation with pathogenesis of acquired aplastic anemia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 40 cases of AAA including 33 cases of non-severe aplastic anemia(NSAA), 7 cases of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) and 20 subjects as control group were collected to detect mRNA expression of TERT and TIN2 by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR), the correlation of TERT and TIN2 mRNA expression levels with classification of peripheral blood cells were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression levels of TERT and TIN2 mRNA in patients with AAA were lower significantly than those in control group (P<0.05), and the SAA (P<0.01). The expression levels of TERT and TIN2 mRNA in patients with SAA were all lower significantly than those in patients with NSAA (P<0.05). The expression levels of TIN2 mRNA in patients with NSAA were lower significantly than those in control group (P<0.01). There were no significant difference in the expression level of TERT mRNA between patients with NSAA and control group (P=0.082). There was significant correlation between the expression level of TERT mRNA and red blood cells count (r=0.437, P=0.029), and hemoglobin level (r=0.522, P=0.007). There was significant correlation between the expression levels of TIN2 mRNA and the lymphocyte percentage (r=-0.404, P=0.045).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The expression level of TERT mRNA may be associated with the red blood cells and hemoglobin level. The expression level of TIN2 mRNA may be associated with the lymphocyte percentage.</p>
