BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical significance of 7 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), endothelin receptor type A (EDNRA), nibrin (NBS1) and Fas cell surface death receptor (FAS) genes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood specimens of 60 patients. Genotyping of 4 VEGFA polymorphisms, namely VEGFA -1154 G/A (rs1570360), -2578 A/C (rs699947), -1498 C/T (rs833061) and +936 C/T (rs3025039), as well as EDNRA SNP p.His323 (rs5333), NBS1 p.E185Q (rs1805794) and FAS -671 A/G (rs1800682) was performed by using Sanger sequencing.
The VEGFA +936 CC genotype was more frequent in tumors with bilateral infiltration of pterygoid plates compared to those with ipsilateral (76.9% vs. 69.6%, p=0.008) and no infiltration of pterygoid plates (76.9% vs. 68.8%, p=0.023). VEGFA -2578, VEGFA -1154 and VEGFA +936 were significantly associated with infiltration to the pterygoid processes (p=0.011, p=0.041 and p=0.032, respectively). EDNRA H323H TT genotype was marginally associated with infiltration to the ipsilateral medial pterygoid muscles (p=0.045). A trend towards longer overall survival was observed for VEGFA -2578 CC as compared to AC (HR=0.24, p=0.060).
The studied VEGFA SNPs seem to be associated with the local extension of the NPC and maybe with the clinical outcome of this patient group.
背景/目的:本研究旨在探讨血管内皮生长因子 A(VEGFA)、内皮素受体 A(EDNRA)、核孔蛋白 NBS1(NBS1)和 Fas 细胞表面死亡受体(FAS)基因的 7 个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)在鼻咽癌(NPC)患者中的临床意义。
从 60 例患者的外周血标本中提取基因组 DNA。采用 Sanger 测序法对 4 个 VEGFA 多态性(VEGFA-1154 G/A(rs1570360)、-2578 A/C(rs699947)、-1498 C/T(rs833061)和+936 C/T(rs3025039))、EDNRA SNP p.His323(rs5333)、NBS1 p.E185Q(rs1805794)和 FAS-671 A/G(rs1800682)进行基因分型。
与单侧(69.6%,p=0.008)和无翼板浸润(68.8%,p=0.023)相比,肿瘤双侧翼板浸润患者 VEGFA+936 CC 基因型更为常见。VEGFA-2578、VEGFA-1154 和 VEGFA+936 与翼板浸润显著相关(p=0.011、p=0.041 和 p=0.032)。EDNRA H323H TT 基因型与同侧内侧翼内肌浸润有一定的相关性(p=0.045)。与 AC 相比,VEGFA-2578 CC 患者的总生存期较长(HR=0.24,p=0.060)。
所研究的 VEGFA SNP 似乎与 NPC 的局部扩展有关,也可能与该患者群体的临床结果有关。
