p73, a structural and functional homolog of p53, plays an important role in modulating cell cycle arrest. This study investigated the association between p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism and survival outcomes in a Chinese population of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum agents.
The p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism was genotyped using DNA from blood samples of advanced NSCLC patients (642 in the discovery set and 330 in the replication set). The relationship of the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism with clinical outcomes was analyzed.
Compared with the GC/GC genotype, the genotypes containing AT allele (GC/AT + AT/AT genotypes) were associated with significantly prolonged overall survival (P = 0.040) in the discovery set and after pooling results from the replication set. Stratification analysis revealed that the association was more pronounced in subjects who were older (P = 0.001), male (P = 0.007), smokers (P = 0.006), had a low Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (P = 0.001), in tumor node metastasis stage IV (P = 0.008), and with adenocarcinoma (P = 0.002). The objective response rates of patients with GC/AT + AT/AT genotypes were statistically higher than those with the GC/GC genotype (P = 0.047).
Our findings suggest that the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism may be related to survival outcome in advanced NSCLC patients.
p73 是 p53 的结构和功能同源物,在调节细胞周期停滞方面发挥重要作用。本研究探讨了中国晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)铂类药物治疗患者中 p73 G4C14 到 A4T14 多态性与生存结果之间的关系。
使用来自晚期 NSCLC 患者血液样本中的 DNA(发现组 642 例,复制组 330 例)对 p73 G4C14 到 A4T14 多态性进行基因分型。分析 p73 G4C14 到 A4T14 多态性与临床结果的关系。
与 GC/GC 基因型相比,含有 AT 等位基因的基因型(GC/AT + AT/AT 基因型)与发现组和复制组汇总结果中的总生存期显著延长相关(P = 0.040)。分层分析显示,这种相关性在年龄较大的患者(P = 0.001)、男性(P = 0.007)、吸烟者(P = 0.006)、ECOG 表现状态较低(P = 0.001)、肿瘤淋巴结转移 IV 期(P = 0.008)和腺癌患者(P = 0.002)中更为明显。GC/AT + AT/AT 基因型患者的客观缓解率明显高于 GC/GC 基因型患者(P = 0.047)。
我们的研究结果表明,p73 G4C14 到 A4T14 多态性可能与晚期 NSCLC 患者的生存结果有关。
