To investigate the association between the polymorphism of CYP17 gene and risk of prostate cancer in Chinese Vigurs men.
A case-control study including 31 patients with prostate cancer and 104 aged-matched controls was conducted. The polymorphism was investigated by PCR using DNA from peripheral blood lymphocytes. The transition (T-->C) in the risk allele (A2) produced a new recognition site for the restriction enzyme MSPAI I. Three genotypes of CYP17 gene (A1/A1, A1/A2, A2/A2) were determined and confirmed by sequencing.
Compared with male A1/A1 genotype, the odds ratios were 1.49 and 2.87 for the A1/A2 and A2/A2 genotypes (P =0.321, 0. 052, respectively). Comparison among 3 subgroups (division by genetypes) of prostate cancer patients, the PSA levels were not significantly different. But in the controls, PSA levels in A1/A2 group were higher but not significant than those in A1/A1 group (P = 0.062). Then, PSA levels in A2/A2 group were significantly higher than those A1/ A1 group (P = 0.018).
More frequency of A2/A2 genotype in prostate cancer than in the control may be associated with the morbidity of prostate cancer in Vigurs male population. Meanwhile, the significant high PSA levels in A2/A2 group also support the view.
探讨CYP17基因多态性与中国维吾尔族男性前列腺癌风险之间的关联。
开展一项病例对照研究,纳入31例前列腺癌患者和104例年龄匹配的对照。采用外周血淋巴细胞DNA通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)研究基因多态性。风险等位基因(A2)中的转换(T→C)产生了限制性内切酶MSPAI I的一个新识别位点。通过测序确定并证实了CYP17基因的三种基因型(A1/A1、A1/A2、A2/A2)。
与男性A1/A1基因型相比,A1/A2和A2/A2基因型的比值比分别为1.49和2.87(P分别为0.321、0.052)。前列腺癌患者的3个亚组(按基因型划分)之间比较,前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平无显著差异。但在对照组中,A1/A2组的PSA水平高于A1/A1组,但差异无统计学意义(P = 0.062)。然后,A2/A2组的PSA水平显著高于A1/A1组(P = 0.018)。
前列腺癌患者中A2/A2基因型的频率高于对照组,这可能与维吾尔族男性人群前列腺癌的发病有关。同时,A2/A2组显著较高的PSA水平也支持这一观点。
