Popis: Abstract 137 The IAP (inhibitor-of-apoptosis) family member, survivin, is one of the most significantly over-expressed genes in malignant cells. Survivin has been reported to inhibit apoptosis and regulate mitosis as well as cytokinesis. We therefore first determined the expression of survivin in CD138-purified multiple myeloma (MM) cells from previously untreated patients at our centers' trial group (TG) (n=246) and the UAMS Arkansas (n=345) validation group (VG). Using the PANP algorithm, survivin is aberrantly expressed in 27% (TG) of MM cell samples. It is not expressed in normal bone marrow plasma cell samples (n=7) while expression increases significantly from MM stage I-III (P Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
