Clusterin (CLU), also known as apolipoprotein J, is a widely expressed, heterodimeric, glycoprotein, important in tumourigenesis, apoptosis, and immunoregulation. In humans, clusterin expression has been associated with anaplastic large cell and Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this study, serum clusterin levels in dogs with multicentric lymphoma (MLSA) were compared to healthy control dogs, using both western blot and ELISA. Western blot confirmed the presence of clusterin in dog sera at the predicted molecular weight and the relative levels detected correlated with the levels detected by ELISA. Clusterin level analysis by ELISA found treatment naïve dogs with MLSA had a significantly (p<0.001) lower serum clusterin level compared to healthy controls. However, there was no significant difference between MLSA dogs prior to treatment and in complete remission. The wide variation in serum CLU levels may limit its potential as a single candidate biomarker for MLSA, although any prognostic predictive value of serum CLU concentrations has yet to be assessed.
