Abstract
- Introduction:Release of the aberrant plasma cells (PC) from the bone marrow (BM) and their presence in the peripheral blood (PB) is a maker of disease progression and worse survival in multiple myeloma (MM) (Nowakowski et al., 2005). Circulating plasma cells (cPCs) are able to survive without homing microenvironment, evade the original tumor and colonize other bone marrow niche. Detailed analysis of various surface proteins showed that cPCs display decreased levels of integrins, adhesion molecules N-CAM (CD56) and the stem cell factor receptor (Paiva et al., 2013). Comprehensive analysis of the genome-wide gene expression profiling that could provide deeper insight into the expression patterns of cPCs of MM is still lacking.
