BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between MDM2 T309G polymorphism and prostate cancer risk in the Slovak population and the association of this polymorphism with MDM2 expression and clinicopathological features.
The MDM2 T309G polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in 506 prostate cancer patients and 592 controls. Quantitative real-time (RT)-PCR and western blot analysis were applied to examine MDM2 expression in 47 prostate cancer tissues and 43 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues.
A decreased risk of prostate cancer in men carrying the GG genotype in comparison with the TT genotype was found. A decrease in the relative MDM2 mRNA and protein levels was found in prostate cancer tissues among patients with the MDM2 GG genotype.
There is a potentially protective effect of the MDM2 GG genotype on the risk of prostate cancer in the Slovak male population.
背景/目的:本研究旨在评估斯洛伐克人群中 MDM2 T309G 多态性与前列腺癌风险之间的关系,并探讨该多态性与 MDM2 表达和临床病理特征的关联。
采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)分析方法,在 506 例前列腺癌患者和 592 例对照中检测 MDM2 T309G 多态性。应用实时定量(RT)-PCR 和 Western blot 分析检测 47 例前列腺癌组织和 43 例良性前列腺增生(BPH)组织中的 MDM2 表达。
与 TT 基因型相比,携带 GG 基因型的男性患前列腺癌的风险降低。在 MDM2 GG 基因型的前列腺癌患者中,发现 MDM2 mRNA 和蛋白水平相对降低。
在斯洛伐克男性人群中,MDM2 GG 基因型可能对前列腺癌风险具有保护作用。
