摘要
探索应用TCRr基因重排标志及改良的极限稀释定量PCR法检测小儿ALL微小残留病(MRD)的可行性,探讨其追踪骨髓MRD变化的临床意义。方法:改良极限稀释定量PLR法。结果:敏感度平均为4拷贝。对14例初治阳性病人在诱导达到缓解(CR)时的MRD定量检测结果显示,骨髓复发组MRD定量值平均为0.343%,未复发组为0.004%(P<0.01)。14例中6例CR时MRD阴性,4例在追踪期内持续阴性,2例转为阳性(分别为0.017%、0.020%),化疗后MRD渐减少至转阴;3例CR时MRD平均值为0.077%,在缓解期MRD值渐减少,其中2例临床持续缓解,1例骨髓无复发但发生睾丸白血病,1例CR时MRD值较高,2例持续高值,2例MRD值渐增高,此5例均复发。结论:CR时MRD阳性的病人应持续监测其水平,若持续高值或逐渐增高,复发的可能性大,应加强化疗以防复发。采用极限稀释定量法检测ALL的MRD有简单、敏感性高的优点。
To explore the feasibility of detecting minimal residual disease (MRD) inchildren with ALL using TCRr gene rearrangements as markers and modified limiting dilution PCR assay. To probe preliminarily into the clinical significance of limiting dilution quantitative PCR in following up the MRD changes. Methods Using modified limiting dilution assay. Results: The average sensitivity was 4 copy. MRD cells were quantitated at inductioncomplete remission (CR)in 14 cases whose untreated samples were positive. The averageamount of MRD cells was 0. 343% in marrow relapse group and 0. 004% in non-relapsegroup (P<0. 01). of 14 cases, 6 were negative MRD at CR,4 Kept negative during following-up and 2 turned to positive (0. 017% 0. 020% respectively). After strong consolidationtherapy, MRD decreased to negativel in 3 cases, the mean level of MRD was 0. 077% atCR. During remission period,MRD levels decreased gradually, 2 were in clinical continuousremission, 1 had testicular leukemia but not BM relapsel MRD level of1 case was high atCR, 2 were persistant high and 2 increased gradually,these 5 cases all relapsed. Conclusion:To patients with MRD positive at CR, the MRD level should be monitored continually; ifMRD level was persistently highor increased gradually, the possibility of relapse was comparatively high and strengthened chemotherapy should be given to prevent relapse. Themethod of limiting dilution quantitative assay has the advantages of simple, effectiveness andhigh sensitivity in detecting MRD in ALL.
