Abstract
Background Immune imbalance appears to have a critical role in tumor growth according to emerging research. Peripheral lymphocyte subsets are considered to reflect the systemic immune response and clinical prognosis. The prognostic value of lymphocyte subpopulations in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients remains unclear. Methods A total of 94 MDS patients were enrolled for the study. X-tile software was performed to determine the prognostic significance of various lymphocyte subpopulations, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 ratio, natural killer cell (NK) and CD19. Among them, the appropriate threshold of NK percent could be found only. Patients were divided into the high NK percent group and the low NK percent group. The prognostic significance was determined by univariate and multivariate Cox hazard models. Results MDS patients with lower NK level had significantly shorter overall survival (OS). Based on univariate analysis, male gender (P = 0.030), lower HB (<10 g/dl, P = 0.029), higher BM blast (>5%, P < 0.0001), higher-risk IPSS-R cytogenetic (P = 0.032) and lower NK percent (P < 0.0001) were significantly associated with shorter OS. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that low NK was also independent adverse prognostic factor for OS in MDS. Conclusion Decreased NK level predicts poor prognosis independent of the IPSS-R and provide a novel evaluation factor for MDS patients.

Decreased transthyretin predicts a poor prognosis in primary myelodysplastic syndrome. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1125768. [PMID: 36960201 PMCID: PMC10027903 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1125768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study aims to investigate the prognostic significance of transthyretin in newly diagnosed myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Methods The clinical, laboratory, and follow-up data of 280 newly diagnosed patients with MDS were collected. The relationship between serum transthyretin levels and overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox Regression Model. Result In the MDS cohort, there were 121 cases in the low transthyretin group and 159 cases in the normal transthyretin group. MDS patients with decreased transthyretin had a higher risk score on the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) (p = 0.004) and on the molecular IPSS (IPSS-M) (p = 0.005), a higher frequency of TP53 mutation (p < 0.0001), a shorter OS (p < 0.0001) and LFS (p < 0.0001). Multivariate analyses showed that higher IPSS-R and IPSS-M score were adverse factors for OS (p = 0.008 and p = 0.015, respectively) and LFS (p = 0.024 and p = 0.005, respectively). Mutations of TP53 and NRAS were also poor factors for LFS (p = 0.034 and p = 0.018, respectively). Notably, decreased transthyretin was an independent adverse predictor for OS (p = 0.009, HR = 0.097, 95%CI, 0.017-0.561) but not for LFS (p = 0.167) when IPSS-R was included in the Cox regression model and an independent poor one for OS (p = 0.033, HR = 0.267, 95%CI, 0.080-0.898) and LFS (p = 0.024, HR = 0.290, 95%CI, 0.099-0.848) while IPSS-M involved. Conclusion The results indicate that decreased transthyretin could be an independent adverse prognostic factor in patients with MDS and may provide a supplement to IPSS-R and IPSS-M.

Abstract
The use of tumor markers aids in the early detection of cancer recurrence and prognosis. There is a hope that they might also be useful in screening tests for the early detection of cancer. Here, the question of finding ideal tumor markers, which should be sensitive, specific, and reliable, is an acute issue. Human plasma is one of the most popular samples as it is commonly collected in the clinic and provides noninvasive, rapid analysis for any type of disease including cancer. Many efforts have been applied in searching for “ideal” tumor markers, digging very deep into plasma proteomes. The situation in this area can be improved in two ways—by attempting to find an ideal single tumor marker or by generating panels of different markers. In both cases, proteomics certainly plays a major role. There is a line of evidence that the most abundant, so-called “classical plasma proteins”, may be used to generate a tumor biomarker profile. To be comprehensive these profiles should have information not only about protein levels but also proteoform distribution for each protein. Initially, the profile of these proteins in norm should be generated. In our work, we collected bibliographic information about the connection of cancers with levels of “classical plasma proteins”. Additionally, we presented the proteoform profiles (2DE patterns) of these proteins in norm generated by two-dimensional electrophoresis with mass spectrometry and immunodetection. As a next step, similar profiles representing protein perturbations in plasma produced in the case of different cancers will be generated. Additionally, based on this information, different test systems can be developed.

[PMID: 35693118 PMCID: PMC9176632 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s363568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of heterogeneous myeloid clonal diseases originating from hematopoietic stem cells. It has been demonstrated that fibrinogen (FIB) is associated with disease risk in several cancer types. Coagulation and fibrinolysis problems are widespread in MDS patients. Therefore, FIB might be one of these indicators. We thus examined the role of FIB levels in the prognosis of MDS. Methods A cohort of 198 MDS patients were retrospectively analyzed to explore the prognostic value of the plasma FIB levels at diagnosis. Patients were divided into the high FIB group and low FIB group. The prognostic significance of FIB was determined by univariate and multivariate Cox hazard models. Results In our cohort, the FIB levels in 198 MDS patients were higher than those in 100 healthy donors (3.9 g/L vs 2.9 g/L, P < 0.0001). MDS patients with high FIB levels had significantly shorter overall survival (OS; P = 0.001) and decreased leukemia-free survival (LFS; P = 0.036). Multivariate cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicated that, in addition to older age, gender, lower HB, poorer karyotype for OS, lower NE, and higher bone marrow blast percentage for OS and LFS, elevated FIB level was also an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS (P = 0.045) but not for LFS (P = 0.188). Conclusion Elevated FIB levels may be associated with mortality risk among MDS patients and could predict disease progress and patient prognosis. Thus, assessment of FIB levels may promote the determination of the prognosis of MDS patients.
