Prognosis value of RBBP8 expression in plasma cell myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) secretes monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) by clonal plasma cells of abnormal proliferation in the bone marrow. As PCM is incurable, it is necessary to find new biomarkers to predict the prognosis and recurrence of PCM. The relationship between cancer and RBBP8 has not been fully studied. The role of RBBP8 in tumorigenesis remains inconsistent. We described the expression of RBBP8 in the gene expression profile of 1930 PCM samples (1878 PCM patients) from seven independent data sets. We analyzed the relationship between RBBP8 and survival prognosis, recurrence, and treatment response in patients with PCM, and the biological significance of RBBP8 in PCM. The gene expression level of RBBP8 was significantly related to the International staging system (ISS) grade of PCM
