Expression of Long-Chain Non-coding RNA RP11-87C12.5 in Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and Its Cinical Significance

Abstract

To investigate the expression of long-chain non-coding RNA RP11-87C12.5 in acute lymphocytic leukemia and its clinical significance. LncRNA RP11-87C12.5 expression was detected by RT-PCR in bone marrow samples from 17 control group, 33 newly diagnosed ALL patients and 26 complete remission ALL patients after chemotherapy, at the same time the clinical data were collected and the clinical significance of IncRNA RP11-87C12.5 expression was analyzed. Compared with control group, lncRNA RP11-87C12.5 expression increased in newly diagnosed ALL group (P=0.021); compared with newly diagnosed ALL group, IncRNA RP11-87C12.5 expression decreased in complete remission ALL group (P=0.039). lncRNA RP11-87C12.5 expression in newly diagnosed ALL group did not relate with sex, age, T or B type, WBC count, Hb level, Plt count, LDH level, bone marrow blast ratio, BCR/ABL fusion gene expression, chomosome karyotypes, WT1 gene, extrameanllary infiltration or no,complete remission or no after one chemotherapy and relapse or no. In 27 cases of ALL, IncRNA RP11-87C12.5 expression significantly increased in cCD79a low expression group, compared with cCD79a high expression group (P=0.004). IncRNA RP11-87C12.5 expression did not relate with other CD molecules of immunoclassification. The expression of LncRNA RP11-87C12.5 is high in newly diagnosed ALL group and low in complete remission ALL group. In B-ALL, the expression of IncRNA RP11-87C12.5 significantly enhances in cCD79a low expression group. In newly diagnosed ALL group, compared with low expression group, lncRNA RP11-87C12.5 high expression group have higer remission rate and relapse rate, but the difference was not statistically significant.
