Expression and Clinical Significance of Heat Shock Protein 90 in Multiple Myeloma Patients / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression of HSP90 in bone marrow samples of multiple myeloma (MM) patients and explore its clinical significance.@*METHODS@#Maxvision immunohistochemistry technique was used to detect the protein expression level of HSP90 76 MM patients and 29 normal healthy donors. The clinical characteristics of the patients were collected, and the correlation between the HSP90 expression and the clinical characteristics was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The count of MM patients with positive HSP90 protein was significantly higher than that of normal healthy donor, and there were no significant correlation between HSP90 expression and age, sex, hemoglobin (Hb), creatinine (CREA), blood calcium, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bone marrow plasma cell proportion and MM subtypes (P>0.05), but HSP90 expression was correlated with β@*CONCLUSION@#HSP90 protein was over-expressed in MM patients, and was correlated with β
