Popis: | Background Azacitidine (AZA) is a nucleoside analog used for treatment of myelodysplasia and the prediction of AZA responsiveness is important for the therapy management. Methods Using microarrays and reverse-transcription quantitative-PCR, we analyzed microRNA (miRNA) expression in bone marrow CD34+ cells of 27 patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes before and during AZA treatment. Results At baseline, we found that future overall response rate was significantly higher in patients with upregulated miR-17-3p and downregulated miR-100-5p and miR-133b. Importantly, the high level of miR-100-5p at baseline was associated with shorter overall survival (HR = 4.066, P= 0.008). After AZA treatment, we observed deregulation of 30 miRNAs in responders (including downregulation of miR-10b-5p, miR-15a-5p/b-5p, miR-24-3p, and miR-148b-3p), while their levels remained unchanged in non-responders. Conclusions Our study demonstrates that responders and non-responders have distinct miRNA patterns and that the level of specific miRNAs before therapy may predict the efficacy of AZA treatment. |
