Abstract:
This study was aimed to investigate the expression of p53-inducible gene 3 (PIG-3) in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and the relationship between PIG-3 and the pathogenesis of lymphoma. The expression of PIG-3 in 20 patients with DLBCL and 20 healthy adults (as a control group) was detected by Western blot and RT-PCR. The results showed that the expression of PIG-3 protein in patients with DLBCL was significantly lower than that in controls, but the expression of PIG-3 was higher after chemotherapy for 6 months than that before chemotherapy. RT-PCR detection demonstrated that the size of PIG-3 amplified product is 1285 bp, which is coincident with theoretic value. It is concluded that the down-regulation of PIG-3 expression may be closely related to pathogenesis of DLBCL, so the PIG-3 gene can considered as a important marker for judging therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of patients with DLBCL.
