ASSESSMENT OF THE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF SERUM CATHEPSIN S AND ITS CORRELATION WITH HDL SUBCLASSES IN PATIENTS WITH NON-HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA

a potential biomarker in lymphoma. Results: The level of CTSS was significantly higher in NHL patients than in control subjects: 12.20 (9.75–14.57) vs 9.97 (8.44–10.99), P<0.001. In NHL patients, there was a positive correlation between CTSS and the proportions of HDL3a, HDL3b, and the sum of the HDL3 subclasses (r=0.506, P<0.001; r=0.411, P=0.006, r=0.335, P=0.026, respectively). In addition, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC curve) of CTSS was 0.766 (CI: 0.655–0.856) for NHL patients. There was no significant difference in CTSS values between the control group and patients with HL, nor significant correlations between CTSS and HDL subclasses in the HL group. Conclusions: CTSS is significantly elevated in patients with NHL and has the potential to be a new diagnostic bio - marker for the detection of NHL. Also, this study was the first to unveil the association between serum CTSS levels and the proportions of anti-apoptotic HDL3a and HDL3b subclasses in NHL patients.
