Genetic factors are thought to play a role in development for colorectal carcinogenesis. ICAM-1 is a polymorphic gene, thus, the present study investigated the relationship between the polymorphisms of ICAM-1 and the susceptibility and phenotypical characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC).
The polymorphisms at ICAM-1 exon 4 (G241R) and exon 6 (E469K) were detected by PCR with sequence-specific primers. The relationship between specific genotypes of ICAM-1 and differentiation of CRC was evaluated by the histological grade.
We showed only GG genotype of ICAM-1 individuals in either CRC or normal controls. The KK genotype of ICAM-1 K469E was found more frequently than in the controls (P < 0.05). Patients with well-differentiated CRC displayed the KK more frequently than those of poor differentiation (P < 0.05).
The findings indicate that polymorphisms of G241R are rare in Chinese population and that KK genotype of ICAM-1 K469E is significantly associated with well differentiation of CRC.
遗传因素被认为在结直肠癌发生发展中起作用。细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)是一个多态性基因,因此,本研究调查了ICAM-1基因多态性与结直肠癌(CRC)易感性及表型特征之间的关系。
采用序列特异性引物PCR法检测ICAM-1基因第4外显子(G241R)和第6外显子(E469K)的多态性。通过组织学分级评估ICAM-1特定基因型与CRC分化程度之间的关系。
在CRC患者和正常对照中,我们仅发现ICAM-1个体的GG基因型。ICAM-1 K469E的KK基因型在患者中的发现频率高于对照组(P < 0.05)。高分化CRC患者中KK基因型的出现频率高于低分化患者(P < 0.05)。
研究结果表明,G241R多态性在中国人群中罕见,且ICAM-1 K469E的KK基因型与CRC的高分化显著相关。
