    Abstract:

    AIM: To investigate the expressions of metadherin (astrocyte elevated gene-1, AEG-1) and lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF-1) in ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. METHODS: The expressions of AEG-1 and LEF-1 were detected on specimens harvested from patients suffering from MALT lymphoma and lymphadenosis of ocular adnexal in Ophthalmology Department, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2000 to 2015 by immunohistochemical and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. RESULTS: AEG-1 and LEF-1 expressions in MALT lymphoma was respectively higher than that in lymphadenosis, both by immunohistochemical and PCR analysis (P<0.05). Diversity of AEG-1 and LEF-1 expressions in different Ann Arbor clinical stages showed a statistically significant result (P<0.05). A positive relevance between AEG-1 and LEF-1 was observed in MALT ocular adnexal lymphoma (r=0.435, P=0.016). CONCLUSION: The over expressions of AEG-1 and LEF-1 at the level of protein and mRNA participates in the tumorigenesis of ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma. They should act as a new biological marker for pathological diagnosis in the future.
