The aim of the present study was to determine the expression levels of microRNA-503 (miR-503) and the tumor suppressor gene, kangai-1 (KAI1), in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). A total of 45 patients with B-NHL (including 29 cases with stage III/IV disease and 16 cases with stage I/II disease) were enrolled in this study. In addition, 26 patients with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) were enrolled as the control patients. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed in order to measure the expression levels of miR-503 in B-NHL and RLH tissues, and to detect the expression levels of miR-503 and KAI1 in peripheral blood samples. In addition, KAI1 expression levels in B-NHL and RLH tissues were detected using western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis. The expression levels of miR-503 were found to be significantly increased in the tissues and peripheral blood of B-NHL patients when compared with those in RLH patients (P&lt;0.05). However, KAI1 was strongly expressed in RLH tissues and weakly expressed in B-NHL tissues. Furthermore, the expression levels of KAI1 were significantly decreased in the tissues and peripheral blood of B-NHL patients when compared with those in the tissues and peripheral blood of RLH patients (P&lt;0.05). The expression levels of miR-503 in the tissues and peripheral blood of patients with stage III/IV B-NHL were significantly higher compared with those with stage I/II B-NHL (P&lt;0.05). By contrast, the expression levels of KAI1 in stage III/IV B-NHL tissues were significantly higher compared with those in stage I/II B-NHL tissues (P&lt;0.05). In conclusion, miR-503 was highly expressed, whereas KAI1 was poorly expressed, in the tissues and peripheral blood of B-NHL patients. Thus, miR-503 may have an application as a novel therapeutic and diagnostic marker in B-NHL patients.
