In this study, we tested whether polymorphisms in human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) were associated with event-free survival (EFS) in pediatric Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). We evaluated the association of HLA-G 3'-UTR polymorphisms with EFS in 113 pediatric HL patients treated using the AIEOP LH-2004 protocol. Patients with the +3027-C/A genotype (rs17179101, UTR-7 haplotype) showed lower EFS than those with the +3027-C/C genotype (HR= 3.23, 95%CI: 0.99-10.54, P=0.012). Female patients and systemic B symptomatic patients with the HLA-G +3027 polymorphism showed lower EFS. Multivariate analysis showed that the +3027-A polymorphism (HR 3.17, 95%CI 1.16-8.66, P=0.025) was an independent prognostic factor. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that HL cells from patients with the +3027-C/A genotype did not express HLA-G. Moreover, HLA-G +3027 polymorphism improved EFS prediction when added to the algorithm for therapeutic group classification of pediatric HL patients. Our findings suggest HLA-G +3027 polymorphism is a prognostic marker in pediatric HL patients undergoing treatment according to LH-2004 protocol.
在本研究中,我们测试了人类白细胞抗原G(HLA-G)基因多态性是否与儿童霍奇金淋巴瘤(HL)的无事件生存期(EFS)相关。我们评估了113例采用AIEOP LH - 2004方案治疗的儿童HL患者中HLA-G 3'-UTR多态性与EFS的关联。携带+3027-C/A基因型(rs17179101,UTR-7单倍型)的患者的EFS低于携带+3027-C/C基因型的患者(HR = 3.23,95%CI:0.99 - 10.54,P = 0.012)。携带HLA-G +3027多态性的女性患者和有全身B症状的患者的EFS较低。多变量分析显示,+3027-A多态性(HR 3.17,95%CI 1.16 - 8.66,P = 0.025)是一个独立的预后因素。免疫组织化学分析显示,携带+3027-C/A基因型患者的HL细胞不表达HLA-G。此外,当将HLA-G +3027多态性添加到儿童HL患者治疗组分类算法中时,可改善EFS预测。我们的研究结果表明,HLA-G +3027多态性是根据LH - 2004方案接受治疗的儿童HL患者的一个预后标志物。
