BACKGROUND/AIM: Few studies have examined the genetic role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to early detection or prediction in gastric cancer development. In this study, the contribution of MMP7 promoter (A-181G and C-153T) polymorphic genotypes to gastric cancer risk in Taiwanese was investigated for the first time.
A total of 121 cases and 363 controls were enrolled and their MMP7 genotypes at A-181G and C-153T were examined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology using genomic DNA from serum.
The GG genotype at MMP7 A-181G was found to represent a risk factor for gastric cancer, especially among smokers. No individual with variant genotype carrier at MMP7 C-153T was found among this Taiwanese population.
The G allele of MMP7 A-181G may serve as an early predictor for gastric cancer risk in Taiwanese; other gastric cancer markers are still urgently needed.
背景/目的:很少有研究探讨基质金属蛋白酶(MMPs)在胃癌发生中的遗传作用,以进行早期检测或预测。本研究首次探讨了 MMP7 启动子(A-181G 和 C-153T)多态基因型对台湾地区胃癌风险的贡献。
共纳入 121 例病例和 363 例对照,采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性方法,使用血清中的基因组 DNA 检测 MMP7 A-181G 和 C-153T 的基因型。
MMP7 A-181G 的 GG 基因型被发现是胃癌的危险因素,尤其是在吸烟者中。在台湾人群中未发现 MMP7 C-153T 变异基因型携带者。
MMP7 A-181G 的 G 等位基因可能是台湾地区胃癌风险的早期预测指标;仍迫切需要其他胃癌标志物。
