We investigated the prognosis value of CD34 and P-170 expression in blast cells of adult patients affected by de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). CD34 antigen was analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) and alkaline phosphatase-labeled streptavidin biotine (AP-LSAB) in 62 patients (median age: 51 years). P-170 expression was determined by AP-LSAB in 51 cases using JSB1 and C219 monoclonal antibodies. All patients were treated with conventional chemotherapy induction regimen. Follow-up was from 6 to 79 months. Complete remission (CR) rate was not statistically different between CD34+ and CD34- patients (67 vs. 84%, p = 0.2). The duration of CR and survival were not influenced by CD34 expression. Karyotype abnormalities were more frequent among MDR+ patients (65 vs. 21%, p < 0.01). CR rate was statistically lower in MDR+ patients as compared to MDR- patients (63 vs. 96%, p = 0.01). Median disease-free survival (DFS) was shorter for MDR+ patients but the difference was not significant (5 vs. 10 months, p = 0.09). Patients who were positive for both parameters CD34 and P-170, had a poor prognosis with a 50 vs. 100% CR rate for CD34/P-170 negative patients, (p = 0.002), a lower median DFS (3 vs. 12 months, p = 0.01) and overall survival (OS) (3 vs. 14.5 months, p = 0.01). Results of cytogenetic analysis did not influence CR rate but the relapse rate was higher, although not significant, for the patients with unfavorable karyotype (63 vs. 33%). The seven CD34+/MDR+ patients with poor prognosis karyotype had a statistically lower CR rate, median DFS and OS than the 7 CD34-/MDR- patients with normal or favorable karyotype (CR: 29% vs. 100%, p = 0.02), (DFS: 3 vs. > 12 months, p = 0.01), (OS: 4 vs. > 12 months, p = 0.02). Our data indicate that P-170 but not CD34 expression is predictive for a lower CR rate. The identification of a bad prognosis subgroup of CD34+/MDR+ AML patients (and especially those with poor prognosis karyotype) has to be confirmed on larger series using uniform methodology.
我们研究了CD34和P-170表达在初发急性髓系白血病(AML)成年患者原始细胞中的预后价值。采用间接免疫荧光法(IFI)和碱性磷酸酶标记链霉亲和素生物素法(AP-LSAB)对62例患者(中位年龄:51岁)的CD34抗原进行分析。采用AP-LSAB法,使用JSB1和C219单克隆抗体对51例患者的P-170表达进行测定。所有患者均接受传统化疗诱导方案治疗。随访时间为6至79个月。CD34阳性和CD34阴性患者的完全缓解(CR)率无统计学差异(67%对84%,p = 0.2)。CR持续时间和生存期不受CD34表达的影响。多药耐药(MDR)阳性患者的核型异常更为常见(65%对21%,p < 0.01)。与MDR阴性患者相比,MDR阳性患者的CR率在统计学上更低(63%对96%,p = 0.01)。MDR阳性患者的无病生存期(DFS)中位数较短,但差异不显著(5个月对10个月,p = 0.09)。CD34和P-170两个参数均为阳性的患者预后较差,CD34/P-170阴性患者的CR率为100%,而前者为50%(p = 0.002),DFS中位数较低(3个月对12个月,p = 0.01),总生存期(OS)也较低(3个月对14.5个月,p = 0.01)。细胞遗传学分析结果不影响CR率,但核型不利的患者复发率较高,尽管不显著(63%对33%)。7例预后不良核型的CD34+/MDR+患者的CR率、DFS中位数和OS在统计学上低于7例核型正常或良好的CD34-/MDR-患者(CR:29%对100%,p = 0.02),(DFS:3个月对>12个月,p = 0.01),(OS:4个月对>12个月,p = 0.02)。我们的数据表明,P-170表达而非CD34表达可预测较低的CR率。CD34+/MDR+ AML患者预后不良亚组(尤其是核型预后不良者)的鉴定必须在更大系列研究中采用统一方法加以证实。
