RETRACTED: Efficacy Evaluation of Inflammatory Mediators in the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma with Daratumumab (Retracted Article)

Objective. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory ability and clinical therapeutic effect of daratumumab on inflammatory mediators in patients with multiple myeloma. Method. The Multiple Myeloma Public Genetic Data Array download GSE125361 dataset was collected. The GO analysis and KEGG analysis were performed on the differential genes to elucidate the multiple myeloma cytokine-related gene pathways. Daratumumab is a CD38 monoclonal antibody used to treat multiple myeloma. Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma were treated with monoclonal antibodies containing CD38, and the control group was treated with a regimen without daratumumab. The serum levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma were measured in the two groups before and after treatment and the therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared. Result. The KEGG analysis showed that the Th17 cell differentiation, apoptosis, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathways were differentially expressed in multiple myeloma. The expression levels of serum IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-alpha in patients in the daratumumab group were lower than those in the control group after chemotherapy. The overall effective rate of patients treated with daratumumab after chemotherapy was higher than that of the control group. Conclusion. Daratumumab can effectively improve the levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-alpha in patients with multiple myeloma and improve the therapeutic effect.
