摘要
目的:探讨初治、年轻的弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(di use large B cell lymphoma,DLBCL)患者中Bcl-6的表达情况,并进一步分析Bcl-6表达在Myc阳性表达(Myc~+)以及Bcl-2和Myc阳性共表达(Bcl-2~+Myc~+)的年轻DLBCL患者中的临床意义。方法:采用免疫组织化学法检测116例初治、年轻DLBCL患者肿瘤组织中Bcl-6、Myc和Bcl-2蛋白的表达水平,并收集完整的患者临床和病理资料,回顾性分析Bcl-6表达与Myc~+和Bcl-2~+Myc~+年轻DLBCL患者预后的相关性。结果:单一Bcl-6蛋白表达与年轻DLBCL患者的预后无相关性(P> 0.05);但当伴有Myc~+表达时,Bcl-6阴性表达(Bcl-6-)患者的预后明显比Bcl-6阳性表达(Bcl-6~+)患者差(P <0.05)。多因素分析发现,Bcl-6-Myc~+是独立于国际预后指数(international prognostic index,IPI)的显著不良预后因素(P <0.05),同时Bcl-6-Bcl-2~+Myc~+患者的预后与Bcl-6~+Bcl-2~+Myc~+患者相比显著较差(P <0.05)。结论:Bcl-6-表达可增加Myc~+和Bcl-2~+Myc~+年轻DLBCL患者的不良预后风险。
Objective:To investigate the expression of Bcl-6 in newly diagnosed and young patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL), and to further explore its clinical significance in young DLBCL patients with Myc positive expression (Myc~+) or Bcl-2 and Myc positiveexpressions(Bcl-2~+Myc~+).Methods:Immunohistochemical(IHC) staining was used to detect the expressions of Bcl-6, Myc and Bcl-2 in 116 newly diagnosed and young patients with DLBCL, and the complete clinical and pathological data were collected. The relationship between the expression levels of Bcl-6 protein and the prognosis of young DLBCL patients with Myc~+ and Bcl-2~+Myc~+ was retrospectively analyzed. Results:There was no significantly correlation between the expression of Bcl-6 alone and the prognosis of young DLBCL patients(P > 0.05). However, for the DLBCL patients with Myc~+, the prognosis in Bcl-6 negative(Bcl-6-) group was worse than that in Bcl-6 positive(Bcl-6~+) group(P < 0.05). Furthermore, the multivariate COX regression analysis showed that Bcl-6-Myc~+ expression was a significant independent factor of adverse prognosis except for the international prognostic index(IPI)(P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the prognosis of DLBLC patients with Bcl-6-Bcl-2~+Myc~+ was significantly worse than that of the patients with Bcl-6~+Bcl-2~+Myc~+(P < 0.05). Conclusion:Bcl-6 negative expression can increase the risk of poor prognosis in young DLBCL patients with Myc~+ or Bcl-2~+Myc~+.
