Differential expression of miRNAs as biomarkers for predicting the outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) used to be defined as germinal center B-like and non-germinal center B-like subtypes, associated with different prognoses, but the conventional classification does not meet the needs of clinical practice because of DLBCL heterogeneity, a problem that might be improved by selection of miRNAs as biomarkers. Twelve patients with DLBCLs were used to screen out the aberrant miRNA profile using miRNA microarray technology in two patient subtypes (six germinal center B-like and six non-germinal center B-like patients). The potential biomarkers were further analyzed using the quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method in 95 DLBCL patients to investigate relationships among expression levels of potent miRNA, clinicopathological features
