Popis: In order to determine the relationship between expression of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase isoform 7B (PDE7B) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) progression, PDE7B mRNA expression was measured by qRT-PCR in 21 untreated MCL patients with bone marrow involvement and 20 healthy donors. The expression level of PDE7B was markedly higher in MCL patients compared with normal controls ( P = 0.001), and the higher level of PDE7B expression was associated with unfavorable cytogenetic characteristics in MCL. It was showed that higher expression of PDE7B might be a novel unfavorable prognostic indicator in MCL, which possess important clinical significance.
