Abstract

acute lymphoblastic leukemia;Hematological

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the expression profile of proteins involved in children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children who are developing relapses. For this reason, the expressions of 10 proteins including proto-oncogene and tumor suppressor gene products, proliferative factors and resistance parameters in 104 initial cases of childhood ALL were analyzed and the proteins correlated with ALL patients who experienced relapses. Applying immunocytochemical assays, we found that 4 out of the 10 parameters revealed a relationship to developing relapses (Fisher's exact tests). These were the oncogene product Fos (p=0.002), the drug resistance proteins glutathione S-transferase (p=0.008) and P-glycoprotein (P-pg/MDR1) (p=0.07) and protein kinase C (p=0.01). By means of hierarchical cluster analysis, we were able to show that the patients could be separated according to their protein expression profile into clusters consisting of patients whose ALL relapsed laterand of patients who did not show relapses in the future.
