Abstract

SOX11 is mainly correlated with embryo neurogenesis and remodeling of tissues. D cyclins (cyclin D1, cyclin D2, and cyclin D3) work in cell transformation. We assessed the expression of SOX11, cyclin D1, cyclin D2, and cyclin D3 mRNA in 152 patients with B-cell lymphocytic proliferative diseases (B-LPD) using qRT-PCR and we detected SOX11 protein using immunohistochemistry in 15 B-LPD patients, to clarify the clinical significance of the four genes in B-LPD. Data showed the transcriptional levels of SOX11 and cyclin D1 were higher for the mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) samples compared with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), and healthy collators. The expression levels of cyclin D1 and cyclin D2 were both higher in DLBCL than in SMZL. The expression levels of the four genes were highly related to each other. Three of 4 MCL patients showed nuclear staining for SOX11, while other 11 B-LPD examples were negative. Furthermore, we also found the ZAP70-positive CLL patients had higher SOX11 expression levels than ZAP70-negative CLL patients. It was revealed that MCL patients have higher expression levels of SOX11 and cyclin D1 mRNA, specially expressed nuclear SOX11 protein.
