RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the relationship between the expression level of SQLE and the prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through large sample data.@*METHODS@#The data of genome, transcriptome, gene chip expression, and clinical information were statistically analyzed in multiple cohorts of AML patients with large samples.@*RESULTS@#It was found that the expression level of SQLE gene in tumor cells of AML patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls (P=0.001). In the three AML corhort, the SQLE high expression group showed a worse therapeutic outcome (OS, P=0.009, P=0.0001, P=0.006; EFS, P=0.005, P=0.001). The unvariate and multivariate survival prognosis analysis indicated that the high expression of SQLE suggests lower event-free survival rate (EFS, HR=1.551, P<0.05) and overall survival rate (OS, HR=1.484, P<0.05). At the same time, it was also found that among different risk subgroups, the expression of SQLE in high risk group was higher (P<0.001, P=0.01), while the patients with high SQLE expression, who received allogeneic HSCT, had longer overall survival time (P=0.006).@*CONCLUSION@#The up-regulation SQLE expression suggests a poor prognosis for the patients with AML.
