Determining the P-gp expression and function of the peripheral blood CD56+ cells may help predict the MDR of NHL, thus has profound guiding significance for NHL treatment.
Preliminary results suggest that some haematological malignancies, among which are acute myelocytic leukaemia, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, might benefit from the simultaneous administration of cytotoxic drugs and P-glycoprotein inhibitors.
A phase I/II trial was performed to investigate the safety and tolerance of zosuquidar.3HCL, a potent inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), when administered orally alone and in combination with the CHOP regimen in patients with untreated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and to determine whether zosuquidar.3HCL affects pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin and vincristine.
Our results show that P-gp is expressed before treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of HIV patients, and is related to poor response to treatment and overall survival.
No mdr1 expression was detected in 5 out of 6 of these samples, whereas a low level of mdr1 expression was found in a sample from one PLL patient in the course of transformation to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Recent data, particularly in haematological malignancies such as acute non-lymphocytic leukaemia, myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, indicate that P-glycoprotein may be involved in the development of clinical drug resistance.
Our results show that P-gp is expressed before treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of HIV patients, and is related to poor response to treatment and overall survival.
Six significant SNPs in four innate immunity (DEFA6, DEFB1, JAK3, and ACAA1) and 11 SNPs in nine NHL-related genes (INSL3, CHMP7, BCL2L11, TNFRSF8, RAD50, CASP7, CHUK, CD79B, and CLDN9) with a permutated p-value <0.01 were re-genotyped in the Replication phase among 386 cases and 348 controls.
Although no direct association was found between IL-10 promoter polymorphisms and NHL, IL-10 (-1082) AA homozygosity and IL-10 ACC genotype were found to be associated with unfavourable prognosis in patients with NHL.
Increased serum calcium and serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity have been associated with clinical sarcoidosis but have also occasionally been described in association with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma without evidence of sarcoidosis.
First, we constructed a model of cell adhesion in NHL, the mRNA, and protein level of ADAM12 in suspension and the adhesion model was analyzed by RT-PCR and western blot.
Genetic variants in the leptin (LEP 19G > A, LEP -2548G > A) and leptin receptor genes (LEPR 223Q > R), previously shown to modulate NHL risk, as well as a polymorphism in the energy regulatory gene adiponectin (APM1 276G>T), were investigated.
PI-based ART compared with other compounds was associated with worse survival in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and HL patients combined (P ≤ 0.001) and in NHL patients alone (P < 0.001); grade 3-4 haematological toxicities were more commonly observed in PI-treated individuals.
The authors also provide an example showing the application of the proposed method to study data relating non-Hodgkin lymphoma to a single nucleotide polymorphism in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor gene.
Results suggest that the AHR gene may play a role in determining the risk of NHL with exposure to organochlorines, and highlight the importance of understanding gene-environment interactions.
We evaluated associations between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and 15 variants in AHR, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2C9, CYP2E1, GSTP1, GSTM3, EPHX1, NQO1, and PON1.
