Objective:
To investigate c-Cbl and Cbl-b gene expressions in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from multiple myeloma (MM) patients.
Methods:
SYBR(R); Green PCR technique was used to detect c-Cbl and Cbl-b gene expressions in PBMCs from 23 MM patients and 22 healthy individuals, and RT-PCR and DNA sequence analysis were performed to analyze the mutations of 7-10 exons of c-Cbl.
Results:
The expression of c-Cbl gene in MM patients (median: 0.798%) significantly decreased as compared with that in healthy controls (median: 2.443%) (P<0.05). The expression of Cbl-b gene in MM patients (median: 0.714%) also dropped significantly as compared with that in healthy controls (median: 2.179%) (P<0.05). The 7-10 exons of c-Cbl gene had two different sizes of fragments in 2 MM patients: 483 bp and 148 bp which were wild-type and deletion mutants type of c-Cbl gene. c-Cbl gene mutations were not found in all MM patients.
Conclusion:
The expressions of c-Cbl and Cbl-b genes in PBMCs from MM patients are down-regulated.
