Evaluation of the role of TAX, HBZ, and HTLV-1 proviral load on the survival of ATLL patients

Abstract: BackgroundAdult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggressive malignancy with very poor prognosis and short survival, caused by the human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). The HTLV-1 biomarkers trans-activator x (TAX) and HTLV-1 basic leucine zipper factor (HBZ) are main oncogenes and life-threatening elements. This study aimed to assess the role of the TAX and HBZ genes and HTLV-1 proviral load (PVL) in the survival of patients with ATLL.MethodsForty-three HTLV-1-infected individuals, including 18 asym… Show more

“…However Both the chronic and acute group, as for the PCT group, presented high levels of LDH, emphasizing that the last group had the highest level of LDH, when compared to the others. The high level of LDH may be linked to more aggressive symptoms and directly related with the evolution of the disease, which is consistent with the findings of the present assessment, thus proposing that high levels of LDH may be a good indicator evolution and clinical aggressiveness 6,18,19,20 . It is important to highlight that in ATLL there is skin involvement and that it can occur in any clinical condition, be it less or more aggressive.…”

“…In all the cases studied the individuals had dermatological lesions and in half of the cases evaluated, they were associated with another clinical condition. These showed advanced and aggressive ATLL form, which indicates that the clinical condition is an indicator of death evolution, as was also observed in the study by Akbarin et al (2017).…”
