摘要: Using Affymetrix microarrays, we identified the expression of CD200 gene in multiple myeloma cells (MMCs) 112 patients with newly diagnosed (MM). The was either absent or present (Affymetrix call) 22% and 78% MMCs, respectively. is not expressed patients' bone marrow (BM). a membrane glycoprotein that imparts an immunoregulatory signal through CD200R, leading to suppression T-cell-mediated immune responses. Patients CD200(absent) MMCs have increased event-free survival (EFS; 24 months) compared CD200(present) (14 months), after high-dose therapy stem cell transplantation. In Cox proportional-hazard model, absence presence predictive for EFS independently ISS stage beta2M serum levels. Thus, independent prognosis factor MM could represent new therapeutic target MM.
