Abstract

The aim of our study was to determine the impact of CD200 expression in newly diagnosed myltiple myeloma (MM) patients. CD200+ patients had significantly shorter median overall survival time (OS) than CD200- patients (41.0 months vs. not reached, p = .009). The ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ T cells was lower in CD200+ patients and this reduction was significantly related to the increase of CD8+ T cells (p = .021). Moreover, we analyzed dynamic changes of CD200 expression in 47 CD200+ patients during treatment. Thirty-eight (80.9%) patients switched to CD200- during treatment. Those patients had a favorable survival compared with the others (median OS, 65.0 vs. 32.0 months, p < .001; median PFS, 29.0 vs. 11.5 months, p = .027). We concluded that CD200 expression is an independent marker for MM prognostic estimation during treatment.
