OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of protein tyrosine kinase 2 and protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11, which respectively encode focal adhesion kinase protein and src homology 2 domain-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 2, in hematopoietic cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.
METHODS:
Protein tyrosine kinase 2 and tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11 expressions were analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in bone marrow cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and healthy donors.
RESULTS:
Protein tyrosine kinase 2 and tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11 expressions did not significantly differ between normal cells and myelodysplastic cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our data suggest that despite the relevance of focal adhesion kinase and src homology 2 domain-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 2 in hematopoietic disorders, their mRNA expression do not significantly differ between total bone marrow cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and healthy donors.
