N2 - To investigate transcription factor PAX5 expression characteristics in childhood acute leukemic cells, expression levels of PAX5 and CD19 mRNA in 6 hematological tumor cell lines and bone marrow cells of 6 normal children, 58 de novo patients and 4 relapse acute leukemic children, including 39 cases of B-ALL, 10 cases of T-ALL and 13 cases of AML, were detected by a real-time RT-PCR. The results showed that PAX5 and CD19 mRNA expression levels were 2.35% and 2.52% in Namalwa (B-cell lines) respectively, but almost not detectable in other T- and myeloid cell lines. Among clinical samples, expression of PAX5 mRNA in B-ALL was significantly higher than that in T-ALL and AML (P = 0.029 and P = 0.013 respectively). PAX5 expression was significantly lower in T-ALL and AML than that in normal controls. The difference of PAX5 mRNA expression levels between T-ALL and AML was not significant. Individual difference of PAX5 mRNA expression levels in children with B-ALL was great. Moreover, PAX5 mRNA expressions in de novo and relapse patients with B-ALL were significantly higher than those in remission (P = 0.011 and P = 0.006 respectively). As binding sites for B-cell specific activator protein have been identified in the promoter regions of CD19, the study found that in B-ALL, there was clear correlation between the expression levels of PAX5 and CD19, which was also studied by real-time RT-PCR. It is concluded that PAX5 transcripts are readily detectable and quantifiable in clinical materials with B-ALL by real-time RT-PCR. The strong PAX5 mRNA expression in some B-ALL can be considered to be particularly interesting for further analysis.
