广西人群DNA修复基因XRCC3多态性与肝细胞癌遗传易感性关联分析

目的 探讨DNA修复基因X线修复交叉互补因子3(X-ray cross-complementing group 3,XRCC3)基因Thr241Met多态性与黄曲霉毒素B1(aflatoxin B1,AFB1)相关性肝细胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)遗传易感性的相关性.方法 应用PCR技术对AFB1高污染区广西地区257例HCC患者和711名对照人群的XRCC3基因多态性进行检测,进行的病例对照研究.结果 (1)XRCC3 3种基因型(Thr/Thr、Thr/Met、Met/Met)中带有Met者与HCC的易感性相关,且这种相关性与Met数量呈正相关(校正风险值OR分别为2.20和8.56);(2)XRCC3突变基因型多态与血白细胞AFB1-DNA加合物水平在HCC发生过程中存在协同作用(校正OR:2.34～20.44,P＜0.01).结论 XRCC3多态性与HCC易感性相关,且这种多态性与AFB1暴露水平在HCC发生中存在协同作用.

Association of the Thr241Met polymorphism of DNA repair gene XRCC3 with genetic susceptibility to AFB1-related hepatocellular carcinoma in Guangxi population

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of the Thr241Met polymorphism of X-ray cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) gene with genetic susceptibility to aflatoxin B1(AFB-1)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)in Guangxi population. METHODS: We conducted a hospital-based case-control study, including 257 HCC cases and 711 controls without cancers or liver diseases. The XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism was analyzed by PCR. RESULTS: The XRCC3 genotypes XRCC3-Thr/Met or XRCC3-Met/Met were related with an elevated risk of HCC. The risk of HCC was associated with the number of mutant Met copies (adjusted OR were 2.20 and 8.56 for XRCC3-Thr/Met and Met/Met, respectively); moreover, there seemed to be combined effects for HCC risk between the variant genotypes and AFB1-DNA adduct levels from peripheral blood leukocytes (adjusted OR was 2.34 to 20.44, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: These results suggested that XRCC3 polymorphism may be associated with the risk of AFB1- related HCC among the Guangxi population, and interacts with AFB1 exposure in the development of HCC induced by AFB1.
