Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the plasma levels of endostatin (PE) and its prognostic importance in patients with acute myeloblastic (AML) and lypmhoblastic leukemia (ALL). We therefore analyzed plasma levels of endostatin before the chemotherapy and during the complete remission period in adult ALL and AML patients. The PE levels of the control group were significantly lower than both cases with ALL and AML. The patients with AML during remission had significantly higher PE levels than the levels at initial diagnosis. No statistically significant difference was detected in patients with ALL. In addition, the survival rates of the cases with ALL whose PE levels are higher than 2.5 ng/ml, are significantly lower. Our results suggest that the elevated plasma levels of endostatin during the remission in patients with AML imply the intensity of angiogenesis inhibition during the remission. Furthermore our findings in ALL patients suggest that endostatin levels may predict the overall survival of these patients.

Bu amaçla erişkin ALL ve AML hastalarında kemoterapi öncesi ve komplet remisyon sırasında plazma endostatin düzeylerini analiz ettik. Kontrol grubunun plazma endostatin (PE) düzeyi hem ALL hem de AML hastalarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı oranda daha düşüktü. AML'li hastalarda remisyon sırasındaki PE düzeyleri tanı anına göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti, ALL'li hastalarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi. Ayrıca 2,5 ng/ml'nin üzerinde PE düzeylerine sahip ALL hastaları nda yaşam süresi anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü. AML olgularında remisyon sırasında endostatin düzeylerinin yüksek olması remisyon sürecinde anjiogenez inhibisyonunun yoğunluğunu gösterebilir. Ayrıca bulgularımız ALL'de endostatin düzeylerinin toplam yaşam süresini ön görmede etkili olabileceğini düşündürmüştür.
