Abstract

Abstract: B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common acute leukemia in childhood and adults, which caused by many various crystalline and unclear agents. Owning to this matter, no significant progress has been made in the patients-recovery. Recently, autophagy pathway is considered as an ambiguous agent in leukemia evaluation. We aim to discover the expression levels of upstream autophagy-regulating genes in newly diagnosed B-ALL patients. In B-ALL group, BECN1, HIF1A and ERN1 expressions were significantly down-regulated, while BCL2 expression was up-regulated compared to the control group ( p < .05). Moreover, there was significant positive correlation between the decreased BECN1 compared with Hypoxia and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related genes expression in the patients ( p < .05). Our findings revealed that, ERN1 and ER stress pathway-related genes could be effective regulators of autophagy in B-ALL. More investigation is recommended to gain a deeper understanding into molecular pathophysiology of B-ALL to improve treatment and monitoring approaches in affected patients.
