The aim of this study was to evaluate the gene polymorphism and expressions of Rho-A, ROCK-1, and ROCK-2 in cholesteatoma.
In this study, 120 healthy control group patients and 120 cholesteatoma patients were enrolled. Venous blood was taken from all of the cholesteatoma and control group patients. The genotyping of ROCK-1(G/T)rs35996865, ROCK-2(A/C)rs10178332, and Rho-A(A/T)rs2177268 polymorphisms was performed using predesigned TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays. Assays-on-Demand SNP genotyping kit was used for the realtime polymerase chain reaction. The expression levels of Rho-A(Hs00357608_m1), ROCK-1(Hs01127699_m1), and ROCK-2(Hs00178154_m1) genes were determined.
The expression of Rho-A, ROCK-1, and ROCK-2 was lower in cholesteatoma patients than in the control group. There was no difference in Rho-AAT/TT and ROCK-1GT/TT variation in cholesteatoma patients compared to the control. However, ROCK-2 AC/CC variance was lower in cholesteatoma patients.
The expression of Rho-A, ROCK-1, and ROCK-2 genes may be decreased in cholesteatoma. Furthermore, since ROCK-2 AC/CC genotype is also lower in cholesteatoma, having C allele seems to decrease the risk of developing this disease.
本研究旨在评估 Rho-A、ROCK-1 和 ROCK-2 基因多态性和表达在胆脂瘤中的作用。
本研究纳入了 120 例健康对照组患者和 120 例胆脂瘤患者。从所有胆脂瘤和对照组患者中抽取静脉血。采用 TaqMan SNP 基因分型检测试剂盒对 ROCK-1(G/T)rs35996865、ROCK-2(A/C)rs10178332 和 Rho-A(A/T)rs2177268 基因多态性进行基因分型。采用 Assays-on-Demand SNP 基因分型试剂盒进行实时聚合酶链反应。检测 Rho-A(Hs00357608_m1)、ROCK-1(Hs01127699_m1)和 ROCK-2(Hs00178154_m1)基因的表达水平。
胆脂瘤患者 Rho-A、ROCK-1 和 ROCK-2 的表达均低于对照组。与对照组相比,胆脂瘤患者的 Rho-AAT/TT 和 ROCK-1GT/TT 变异无差异。然而,胆脂瘤患者的 ROCK-2 AC/CC 变异较低。
Rho-A、ROCK-1 和 ROCK-2 基因的表达可能在胆脂瘤中降低。此外,由于胆脂瘤中 ROCK-2 AC/CC 基因型也较低,携带 C 等位基因似乎会降低患此病的风险。
