Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) has been implicated in several inflammatory and fibrotic diseases. We hypothesized that genetic variations in the MMP1 promoter region are associated with risk of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). A cohort of 251 lung cancer patients was genotyped for five single nucleotide polymorphisms in the MMP1 promoter region. We found that rs1144393 AG/GG was strongly correlated with an increased occurrence of grade ≥ 2 RILI (p = 0.002). Additionally, patients with the rs1144393 AG/GG genotypes exhibited higher MMP-1 expression than patients with the AA genotype in lung tissues (n = 28, p = 0.022) and plasma samples (n = 40, p = 0.018). Our results indicated that rs1144393 in the MMP1 promoter region can be a predictor of grade ≥ 2 RILI in lung cancer patients treated with thoracic radiation.
基质金属蛋白酶-1(MMP-1)与多种炎症和纤维化疾病有关。我们假设MMP1启动子区域的基因变异与放射性肺损伤(RILI)的风险相关。对一组251例肺癌患者的MMP1启动子区域的五个单核苷酸多态性进行基因分型。我们发现rs1144393 AG/GG与2级及以上RILI发生率增加密切相关(p = 0.002)。此外,rs1144393 AG/GG基因型的患者在肺组织(n = 28,p = 0.022)和血浆样本(n = 40,p = 0.018)中比AA基因型的患者表现出更高的MMP-1表达。我们的结果表明,MMP1启动子区域的rs1144393可以作为接受胸部放疗的肺癌患者2级及以上RILI的预测指标。
