Abstract

Objective: To research the expression characteristic and clinical significance of the serum bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) at the lower expression condition of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and Hepcidin (Hepc) in patients with tumor-related anemia. Methods: 113 hospitalized tumor patients from October 2019 to June 2020 and 20 healthy volunteers (control group) were recruited. We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the levels of BMP6, soluble-hemojuvelin (s-HJV) and Hepc, Electrochemiluminescence method to determine SF level, and particle-enhanced immune transmission turbidity method to determine CRP level, then analyzed their expression characteristics, correlations and clinical significance. Results: (1) The levels of BMP6, Hepc and CRP of anemia group were respectively 426.18±202.83mg/mL, 6.58±5.41ug/L and 19.10±18.24mg/L, which were all higher than 334.37±171.32mg/mL, 4.60±2.28ug/L and 3.62±3.46mg/L of non-anemia group (t=2.5804, 2.4750 and 3.4144, P<0.01, P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). (2) The level of s-HJV was 0.71±0.28ng/mL, which was obviously lower than 1.07±1.01ng/mL (t=2.6529, P<0.01) in non-anemia group. (3) There were negative correlations between BMP6 and both Hb and s-HJV (respectively r=-0.2807, t=3.0812 and r=-0.2497, t=2.7230, respectively, P both <0.01), but there were no correlations between BMP6 and CRP, Hepc and SF. (4) Hepc was positively correlated with both CRP and SF (r=0.2004, t=2.0660 and r=0.3089, t=3.1045, P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). Hepc was negatively correlated with Hb (r=-0.2524, t=2.7525, P<0.01). Hepc had no correlation with s-HJV (P>0.05). (5) The BMP6 in the normal CRP group was 461.86±142.91 mg/mL, which was significantly higher than 364.51± 129.84 mg/mL in elevated CRP group (F=11.35, P<0.01). (6) Hepc, s-HJV and SF in the normal CRP group were 5.17±3.49ug/L, 0.69±0.26ng/mL and 149.89±142.34ng/mL, respectively, which were all significantly lower than 9.02±7.14ug/L, 0.76±0.33ng/mL and 288.36±254.51ng/mL in the elevated CRP group (F=9.56, 4.67 and 2.84, P=0.000, 0.09, 0.046, respectively). Conclusions: When tumor patients with anemia is in a low-level condition of CRP and Hepc, the high expression of BMP6 is an important cause for the occurrence and development of anemia.
