摘要
目的:研究Flt3基因在不同类型、亚型白血病中mRNA表达、分布情况,以期阐明Flt3基因表达与疾病发生、发展的关系,探索Flt3基因作为白血病转归及预后指标的意义。方法:应用血细胞Percoll不连续密度梯度分离法分离出外周血中原始细胞,采用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR),检测Flt3基因在109例恶性血液病患者外周血中表达。结果:初治 AML(急性髓细胞性白血病)中 Flt3基因 mRNA表达为 91.4% ; ALL(急性淋巴细胞性白血病)中表达率亦较高,为 82.3%;在急性白血病的 CR(完全缓解)病例中原 Flt3阳性表达可转为阴性;而 NR(未缓解)的患者则持续为阳性表达。CML(慢性髓细胞性白血病)中阳性表达为33.9%,仅见于急变期及加速期,在慢性阶段则无表达。6例CLL(慢性淋巴细胞性白血病)中的4例、4例MDS(骨髓增生异常综合征)中的2例表达Flt3。结论:Flt3基因有望在白血病诊治过程中成为标志性基因。
Objectives: To investigate the expression of Flt3 gene in leukemia and indicate the relation between the expression of Flt3 gene and the occurrence or the development of the disease. Methods: The separation method of the Percoll discontinuous density gradient was applied to isolate the blast cells in peripheral blood. RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of Fit3 in blast cells of peripheral blood from 109 malignant patients. Results: The high level of the Fit3 mRNA in primary AML blasts from 35 patients peripheral blood was 91.4% with no apparent predominaoce of any of the M1-M6 subtypes, Flt3 mRNA in ALL also was found at high level in 82.4%. When the patients were in complete remission(CR), their expression could be changed from positive to negative. But the positive rates was continual if the leukemia cases were non-remission (NH). The positive rate in CML sample was 33.9% which was attained merely to accelerated phase and blast crisis, whereas it was not found in chronic phase. Flt3 mRNA was detected in 4/6 cases of CLL and 2/4 cases Of MDS. Conclusion: Flt3 gene will hopefully become a symbolic gene during the course of diagnosis and treatment in leukemias.
