Abnormal expression and methylation of PRR34-AS1 are associated with adverse outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT: It was previously reported that PRR34-AS1 was overexpressed in some solid tumors. PRR34-AS1 promoter was shown to have a differential methylation region (DMR), and was hypomethylated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Therefore, the present study used real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) to explore the expression characteristics of PRR34-AS1 in AML. In addition, the correlation between the expression of PRR34-AS1 and clinical prognosis of AML was determined. The findings of this study indicated that high PRR34-AS1 expression was bound up with shorter overall survival (OS) in AML patients (p = 0.002). Moreover, patients with high expression of PRR34-AS1 had significantly lower complete remission (CR) rate compared with those with low expression of PRR34-AS1 after induction chemotherapy. Furthe
