The aberrant expression of CCL18 is an independent prognostic factor for multiple myeloma. High levels of CCL18 are associated with renal impairment, hypercalcemia, and a lower proportion of complete remission. The expression of CCL18 is also associated with the survival period of MM patients.
The aberrant expression of CCL18 could be an independent prognostic factor for multiple myeloma. In vitrostudies, we indicated that rCCL18 can promote the migration and invasion of myeloma cells. CCL18 has recently been implicated in malignancies and is increasingly mentioned as a potential tumoral biomarker and furtherly a molecular target for therapeutic intervention, but its expression and clinical significance in multiple myeloma have not been explored. Serum CCL18 levels were measured by ELISA method in 254 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), 21 monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and 22 healthy adults. The study suggests that the serum CCL18 level in NDMM patients was significantly higher than that in MGUS and healthy adults. High level of CCL18 were associated with advanced ISS and R-ISS stages in MM. Patients with high serum CCL18 displayed a significantly more frequent occurrence of renal impairment and hypercalcemia, while the proportion of achieving complete remission (CR) was lower. More importantly, Cox analysis identified CCL18 and LDH as independent predictors of PFS in MM patients, whereas CCL18, creatinine and LDH were independent predictors of OS. Finally, we show that CCL18 can promote migration and invasion of myeloma cell lines RPMI8226 and MM.1S. CCL18 may play a tumor-promoting role by increasing the migration and invasion abilities of myeloma cells.
