CD147 gene expression level does not predict overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but is correlated in early death of (non-M3)-AML patients. (A) Relationship between the most recurrent gene mutations observed in all AMLs and the level of CD147 mRNA expression, according to the TCGA dataset. (B) CD147 mRNA levels were analyzed in AMLs stratified into 3 risk groups: poor, intermediate and favorable, according to the European LeukemiaNet (ENL) risk classification. (C) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis in a new group of AML patients that excludes AML-M3 patients, based on CD147 gene expression and stratified according to their CD147 mRNA levels in 3 groups: low (CD147<70); medium (CD147, range, 70-120); high (CD147 >120). (D) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis in the new group of (non-M3)-AML patients deceased within 50-60 months years after diagnosis, indicates that the kinetics of death is more rapid (within 20 months) among CD147 high patients, as compared with those with low (P<0.01) or medium (P<0.001) CD147 levels; P-values calculated by log-rank test. The histograms show that white blood count (WBC) number, age at diagnosis and proportion of patients with poor cytogenetics were comparable in the 3 (non-M3)-AML subgroups subdivided according to CD147 expression level.
