Double-stranded RNA excess in hematologic diseases: clinical implications.

M Musso, V Abbadessa, R Perricone

    Haematologica
    |January 1, 1989

    Summary

    Elevated double-stranded RNA (ds-RNA) levels, detected by flow cytometry, effectively distinguish cancerous from normal cells in hematologic malignancies. This finding confirms ds-RNA as a specific tumor marker for diagnosing and monitoring these diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Immunology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Flow cytometry is crucial for quantitative cell analysis.
    • Double-stranded RNA (ds-RNA) is implicated in cellular processes.
    • Distinguishing tumoral from normal cells is vital in hematologic malignancies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate double-stranded RNA (ds-RNA) measurements for discriminating between human tumoral and normal cells.
    • To assess the clinical utility of ds-RNA as a tumor marker in various hematologic malignancies.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied ds-RNA levels using propidium-iodide after DNase treatment.
    • Analyzed bone marrow and peripheral blood cells from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and multiple myeloma.

  • Utilized flow cytometric analysis for quantitative ds-RNA measurements.

    • Main Results:

    • High incidence of ds-RNA excess (greater than 30%) observed in acute leukemia (75%), chronic myeloid leukemia in blastic crisis (100%), and multiple myeloma (78%).
    • Elevated ds-RNA levels were significantly lower in complete remission (20-25%) and absent in normal control lymphocytes.
    • ds-RNA excess correlated with disease activity and relapse in acute leukemia patients.

    Conclusions:

    • ds-RNA excess is a highly specific tumor marker for hematologic malignancies.
    • Flow cytometric analysis of ds-RNA provides a quantitative parameter for disease evaluation.
    • ds-RNA measurements hold significant clinical implications for diagnosing and monitoring malignant hematologic diseases.
