Extracellular NM23 Protein as a Therapeutic Target for Hematologic Malignancies

Figure 2

Clinical significance of extracellular NM23-H1 protein in hematologic malignancies. (a) Serum NM23-H1 protein levels in normal healthy control and hematologic malignancies [31]. Normal control ( ), AML ( ), ALL ( ), CML-CP ( ), CML-BC ( ), and MDS ( ), MDS overt leukemia ( ). Mann-Whitney’s U test versus control, ** . (b) Overall survival curves of patients with AML [32]. High-NM23-H1 (≥80 ng/mL) patients ( ) had a worse prognosis than low-NM23-H1(<80 ng/mL) patients ( ). (c) Overall survival curves of patients with intermediate and high-grade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma [11, 25]. High-NM23-H1 (>80 ng/mL) patients ( ) had a worse prognosis than low-NM23-H1(<80 ng/mL) patients ( ).
