Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the gene belonging to the BCL2 family are thought to play a role in chemotherapy resistance. This study investigated the association of BCL2-938C>A(rs2279115) and BAX-248G>A(rs4645878) promoter region SNPs and the clinical responses and outcomes of 235 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. The data suggested that BAX-248GA and GA+AA genotype was associated with poor response [odds ratio (OR) 1.943, p = 0.039; OR 1.867, p = 0.038, respectively] to chemotherapy, and BCL2-938CA, CA+AA and BAX-248GA, AA and GA+AA were associated with poor progression-free survival (PFS) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.514, p = 0.004; HR 1.456, p = 0.009; HR 1.449, p = 0.013; HR 2.006, p = 0.010; HR 1.506, p = 0.003, respectively] and BCL2-938CA, AA and CA+AA and BAX-248GA, AA and GA+AA were associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR 2.006, p < 0.001; HR 2.322, p < 0.001; HR 2.096, p < 0.001; HR 1.632, p = 0.001; HR 2.014, p = 0.010; HR 1.506, p < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, combination of these two polymorphisms showed patients with 2-4 variant alleles of these two genes associated with poor PFS and OS (HR 1.637, p = 0.001; HR 2.365, p < 0.001). The data from the current study provide evidence that BCL2-938C>A and BAX-248G>A polymorphisms may be useful in predicting clinical outcomes of patients with advanced inoperable NSCLC to platinum-based chemotherapy.
属于BCL2家族的基因的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)被认为在化疗耐药中起作用。本研究调查了BCL2 - 938C>A(rs2279115)和BAX - 248G>A(rs4645878)启动子区域单核苷酸多态性与235例接受铂类化疗的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的临床反应和预后的相关性。数据表明,BAX - 248GA和GA + AA基因型与化疗反应不佳相关[优势比(OR)分别为1.943,p = 0.039;OR 1.867,p = 0.038],BCL2 - 938CA、CA + AA以及BAX - 248GA、AA和GA + AA与无进展生存期(PFS)不佳相关[风险比(HR)分别为1.514,p = 0.004;HR 1.456,p = 0.009;HR 1.449,p = 0.013;HR 2.006,p = 0.010;HR 1.506,p = 0.003],BCL2 - 938CA、AA和CA + AA以及BAX - 248GA、AA和GA + AA与总生存期(OS)不佳相关(HR分别为2.006,p < 0.001;HR 2.322,p < 0.001;HR 2.096,p < 0.001;HR 1.632,p = 0.001;HR 2.014,p = 0.010;HR 1.506,p < 0.001)。此外,这两种多态性的组合显示,这两个基因有2 - 4个变异等位基因的患者与PFS和OS不佳相关(HR 1.637,p = 0.001;HR 2.365,p < 0.001)。本研究数据提供了证据表明,BCL2 - 938C>A和BAX - 248G>A多态性可能有助于预测晚期无法手术切除的NSCLC患者接受铂类化疗的临床结局。
