Exosome complex genes mediate RNA degradation and predict survival in mantle cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Exosome complex (EXOSC) genes, which encode a multi-protein intracellular complex, mediate the degradation of various types of RNA molecules. EXOSCs, also known as polymyositis/scleroderma complexes, exist in eukaryotic cells and archaea, and primarily mediate 3' to 5'mRNA degradation. However, how EXOSC genes are implicated in processes of B-cell immune-associated pathways and B-cell tumorigenesis remains unclear. The present bioinformatics study indicated that 6 of 10 EXOSC genes, particularly the EXO.index, were able to predict the survival of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), by analyzing gene expression profiles of 123 patients with MCL from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The results suggested that EXOSC gene expression may be a molecular marker for MCL. Compared with t
