p21 and p27, members of the kinase inhibitor protein (KIP) family, bind to cyclin-CDK complexes to inhibit their catalytic activity and induce cell cycle arrest. The purpose of our study was to identify whether the p21 (C-to-A), and p27 (T-to-G) polymorphisms were associated with age at diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, either independently or jointly. Two hundred and five patients with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer were genotyped for the p21 and p27 polymorphisms. We found patients with the p21 variant genotype (CA/AA) had an earlier age at diagnosis than those with the wild-type genotype (CC) (log-rank, P=0.001; HR=1.89; 95%CI, 1.28-2.78). The p21 and p27 polymorphisms combined had a joint effect on age-associated risk for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer (log-rank, P=0.004; HR=2.91; 95%CI, 1.49-5.67). Our findings suggest that the p21 polymorphism independently and p21 and p27 polymorphisms jointly contribute to a significantly earlier age at diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
p21和p27是激酶抑制蛋白(KIP)家族的成员,它们与细胞周期蛋白 - 细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶(CDK)复合物结合,以抑制其催化活性并诱导细胞周期停滞。我们研究的目的是确定p21(C到A)和p27(T到G)多态性是否独立或共同与胰腺癌诊断时的年龄相关。对205例胰腺癌患者进行了p21和p27多态性的基因分型。我们发现,具有p21变异基因型(CA/AA)的患者诊断时的年龄比具有野生型基因型(CC)的患者更早(对数秩检验,P = 0.001;风险比[HR]=1.89;95%置信区间[CI],1.28 - 2.78)。p21和p27多态性共同对胰腺癌早期诊断的年龄相关风险有联合作用(对数秩检验,P = 0.004;HR = 2.91;95%CI,1.49 - 5.67)。我们的研究结果表明,p21多态性独立地以及p21和p27多态性共同导致胰腺癌诊断时的年龄显著更早。
