Objective:
To investigate the expression of long non coding RNA RP11-69I8.3 in acute leukemia and its clinical significance.
Methods:
lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 expression was detected by RT-PCR in bone marrow samples from 17 healthy controls, 32 newly diagnosed AML patients and 32 newly diagnosed ALL patients, and 25 ALL patients of complete remission after chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the clinical data were collected and the relation of lncRNA RP11-6918.3 expression with the clinical characteristics was analyzed.
Results:
Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in the expression of lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 in AML group(P>0.05). lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 lowly expressed in untreated ALL group(P=0.001). Compared with the de novo ALL group, lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 was highly expressed in complete remission ALL group (P<0.013). In 32 de novo ALL patients,the expression of lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 in children was significantly lower than that in adult(P=0.017). There was no correlation of the expression of lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 with the sex, WBC count, HB level, Plt count, LDH level, T or B type, ratio of bone marrow blast cell, BCR/ABL and WT1 fusion gene expression, chromosome karyotype, extramedullary infiltration, whether complete remission after one chemotherapy, whether relapse. In 26 B-ALL patients, there was no correlation between lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 and the immunophenotype.
Conclusion:
The expression of lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 in the untreated AML is not significantly different from the control group. lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 is low expressed in ALL group, highly expressed in ALL group with complete remission. In untreated ALL, the expression of lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 in children is significantly lower than that in adult. In B-ALL patients, the lncRNA RP11-69I8.3 is not relevant with the immunophenotype.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
