[Prognostic Significance of Progression of Disease within 24 Months in Mantle Cell Lymphoma].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) on overall survival (OS) in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and compare the clinical characteristics between POD24 and non-POD24 patients. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 50 MCL patients with treatment indications and regular treatment who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to August 2020. According to the occurrence of POD24, the patients were grouped for prognostic evaluation and clinical characteristics comparison. RESULTS: Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that POD24, PLT, albumin, MIPI score, ECOG PS score, LDH were the factors influencing OS in newly diagnosed MCL patients (all P < 0.05). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that POD24ï¼»HR=16.797(95%CI : 3.671-76.861),P < 0.001ï¼½, albumin<40 g/Lï¼»HR=3.238(95%CI :1.095-9.572),P =0.034ï¼½ and ECOG PS score≥2ï¼»HR=4.005(95%CI :1.033-15.521),P =0.045ï¼½ were independent risk factors influencing OS in MCL patients. The incidence of PLT<100×109/L (33.3% vs 5.9%, P =0.033) and ECOG PS score ≥2 (45.5% vs 5.9%, P =0.040) were significantly higher in POD24 patients than those in non-POD24 patients. CONCLUSION: POD24 is an independent poor prognostic factor affecting the OS of MCL patients, and the patients with PLT<100×109/L and ECOG PS score≥2 at diagnosis have a higher probability of POD24.

Celastrus orbiculatus Extract Inhibits Immune Inflammatory Thrombotic State of B-Lymphoma.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of Celastrus orbiculatus extracts (COE) on the proliferation of lymphoma cells and the immune regulation ability on inflammation and thrombophilia in vivo. METHODS: The 38B9 lymphoma cells were treated with COE (160 µ g/mL) and CTX (25 µ mol/L). The apoptosis rate and cell cycle of each group were detected by flow cytometry. The secretion of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), in cell supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In vivo, BALB/c mice were subcutaneously injected with 38B9 lymphoma cells to establish lymphoma model. COE (3 mg·kg-1·d-1) and CTX (40 mg·kg-1·d-1) were administered to the model mice, respectively. The expression of plasma inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α) and thrombus indexes, including D-dimer (D-D), von Willebrand factor (vWF) and tissue factor (TF), were detected by ELISA before tumor bearing (1 d), after tumor formation (14 d) and after intervention (21 d). PicoGreen dsDNA was used to detect the level of serum neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of platelet activation marker calcium-dependent lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2). The tumor growth and survival of mice were recorded. RESULTS: The 38B9 lymphoma cells were apoptotic after the intervention of COE and CTX. The ratio of G2-M phase cells decreased in COE intervented cells compared with the control cells (P<0.05), and S phase cells decreased in CTX intervented cells (P<0.05). Also, the secretion level of IL-6 was significantly reduced after COE or CTX intervention (P<0.05), and IL-10 was significantly increased (P<0.05). Furthermore, the tumor mass was reduced, and the median survival time was longer in COE and CTX intervented tumor-bearing mice than in non-intervented mice. The significantly lower levels of TNF-α, IL-6, NETs, TF, DD and CLEC-2, as well as higher IL-10 were observed in COE and CTX treatment mice in comparision with the control mice (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: COE has a mild and stable anti-tumor effect, which can reduce the secretion of inflammatory factors by lymphoma cells and regulate thrombophilic state caused by tumor inflammatory microenvironment.
