ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of a modified culture method on the karyotype anomalies detection rate in elderly patients with multiple myeloma (MM),and to explore the relationship between clinical characteristics and chromosome anomalies in multiple myeloma.Methods Two culture methods were applied on the bone marrow samples which obtained from 28 MM patients.One method was used to culture cells for 24 hours with interleukin 6 (IL-6) 10 μg/L and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) 40 μg/L,and the other for 6 days.Karyotype was analyzed by G-banding technique.Results In the 24-hour culture group,no metaphases cell was found in 4 cases (14.3 %),karyotype anomalies were found in 6 cases in the other 24 cases,and the detection rate was 25.0% (6/24).In the 6-day culture group,no metaphases cell was found in 1 patient (3.6%),karyotype anomalies were found in 15 cases in the other 27 patients,and the detection rate was 55.6% (15/27).There was a significant difference in the detection rate of karyotype anomalies between the two groups (x2 =4.89,P < 0.05).In 27 cases with enough metaphases in the 6-day culture group,20 cases were newly diagnosed or in progression,among whom karyotype anomalies were found in 14 cases (70.0%,14/20),and 7 cases were in stable phase,among whom karyotype anomalies were found in 1 case (14.3%,1/7).The detection rate of abnormal karyotype was higher in newly diagnosed or in progressive patients than in stable patients (P <0.05).Conclusions 6-day culture method can improve the detection rate of karyotype anomalies in elderly patients with multiple myeloma,which is better than 24-hour culture method.The detection rate of karyotype anomalies is higher in newly diagnosed or in progressive patients than in stable patients.
