| Popis | ObjectivesLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into proteins. They are involved in pathogenesis of many diseases including cancer and have a potential to serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers. We aimed to investigate lncRNA expression profiles in bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients in comparison to normal BMPCs of healthy donors (HD) in a three-phase biomarker study. MethodsExpression profile of 83 lncRNA was performed by RT2 lncRNA PCR Array (Qiagen), followed by quantitative real-time PCR using specific TaqMan non-coding RNA assays analyzing 84 newly diagnosed MM patients and 25 HD. ResultsOur analysis revealed dysregulation of two lncRNAs; NEAT1 (sensitivity of 55.0% and specificity of 79.0%) and UCA1 (sensitivity of 85.0% and specificity of 94.7%). UCA1 levels correlated with albumin and monoclonal immunoglobulin serum levels, cytogenetic aberrations, and survival of MM patients. ConclusionOur study suggests a possible prognostic impact of UCA1 expression levels on MM patients. |
