摘要：

The expression of phosphorylated AKT (pAKT) in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) and its clinical significance were studied. We detected pAKT expression by using the immunohistochemical method in 106 cases of PTCL. Positive pAKT expression was detected in 49.1% of patients, was negatively correlated with overall response rate, and predicted decreased progression-free survival and/or overall survival. Our results suggest that pAKT expression is an independent prognostic factor for PTCL. Background: The AKT signaling pathway controls the survival and growth of human cancer cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression dynamics of phosphorylated AKT (pAKT) in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and its clinical significance. Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine the pAKT expression in 106 PTCL cases. pAKT expression and its association with clinicopathologic characteristics of a patient with PTCL were analyzed. Results: A total of 106 samples were tested, and 52 (49.1%) were positive for pAKT. There was significant positive correlation between pAKT expression and higher levels of lactic dehydrogenase (P<.05), whereas positive pAKT expression was negatively correlated with patients' overall response rate (P<.05). Further multivariate analysis revealed that positive pAKT expression predicted decreased progression-free survival and/or overall survival (P<.05). Conclusion: Analysis of our results suggest that pAKT expression, as examined by immunohistochemistry, is an independent prognostic factor for PTCL. The clinical value of pAKT expression analysis in PTCL is worthy of further clinical investigations.
