Female Apcmin/+ mice carrying the BALB/c variant of Prkdc or heterozygous knockout for Xrcc2, were sham- or 2 Gy X-irradiated as adults to compare the effect of mild impairments of double–strand break (DSB) repair pathways, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) respectively on spontaneous and radiation–induced mammary and intestinal tumorigenesis. Mice with impaired NHEJ showed no difference in incidence of spontaneous mammary tumours, compared with matched controls, (2.46 fold, P = 0.121) and significantly less following irradiation (radiation–induced excess; 0.35 fold, P = 0.008). In contrast mice with impaired HR presented with significantly less spontaneous mammary tumours than matched controls (0.33 fold, P = 0.027) and significantly more following irradiation (radiation-induced excess; 3.3 fold, P = 0.016). Spontaneous and radiation-induced intestinal adenoma multiplicity in the same groups were significantly greater than matched controls for mice with impaired NHEJ (sham; 1.29 fold, P < 0.001, radiation–induced excess; 2.55 fold, P < 0.001) and mice with impaired HR showed no significant differences (sham; 0.92 fold, P = 0.166, radiation-induced excess; 1.16, P = 0.274). Genetic insertion events were common in spontaneous tumours from NHEJ impaired mice compared with matched controls. γH2AX foci analysis suggests a significantly faster rate of DSB repair (MANOVA P < 0.001) in intestinal than mammary tissue; apoptosis was also higher in irradiated intestine.To conclude, results suggest that pathway of choice for repair of spontaneous and radiation-induced DSBs is influenced by tissue type. NHEJ appears to play a greater role in DSB repair in intestinal tissue since impairment by functional change of Prkdc significantly increases the rate of mis-repair in intestinal but not mammary tissue. HR appears to play a greater role in DSB repair in adult mammary tissue since impaired HR results in significant changes in mammary but not in the intestinal tumorigenesis. This indicates that early DNA damage response and repair is important for cancer susceptibility and plays a role in determining tissue specificity of cancer risk.  相似文献

The possible role for DNA repair deficiencies in cancer development, namely in breast cancer has been the subject of increasing interest since it has been reported that breast cancer patients might be deficient in the repair of DNA damage. Exposure to ionizing radiation has been pointed out as a risk factor for breast cancer, and the type of DNA lesions induced by this carcinogen can be repaired by homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) pathway. To evaluate the potential modifying role of some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in HRR involved genes on the individual susceptibility to breast cancer we carried out a hospital based case–control study in a Caucasian Portuguese population (289 histological confirmed breast cancer patients and 548 control individuals). We genotyped 4 SNPs in 4 different HRR pathway genes, XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536), XRCC3 (Ex8-5C > T, T241M, rs861539), NBS1 (Ex5-32C > G, E185Q, rs1805794) and RAD51 5′UTR (Ex1-59G > T, rs1801321), tagging 41 SNPs in these genes. The frequency of the different polymorphisms in the Portuguese control population is similar to the ones reported for other Caucasian populations, and the deviation of the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was only observed for the XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536) polymorphism in the control population. The results obtained, after logistic regression analysis, did not reveal a major role of these polymorphisms on breast cancer susceptibility. However, when the population was stratified according to breast feeding (women that breast fed and women that never breast fed) it is observed, in women that never breast fed, that the heterozygous individuals for the XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536) polymorphism have a decreased risk for breast cancer [adjusted OR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.22–0.92] (P = 0.03). Additionally, after stratification according to menopausal status, our results suggest that post-menopausal women carrying at least one variant allele for the XRCC3 (Ex8-5C > T, T241M, rs861539) polymorphism have a lower risk for breast cancer [adjusted OR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.47–0.94] (P = 0.03). Most of the studies suggest that breastfeeding may be responsible for 2/3 of the estimate reduction of breast cancer. The longer the duration of breastfeeding the lower the potential risk associated with breast cancer. Therefore, in our study the potential protective role of the variant allele of XRCC2 (Ex3 + 442G > A, R188H, rs3218536), in never breast fed women, might be related with a more efficient DNA repair activity.  相似文献

Visfatin is a newly identified pro-inflammatory adipokine and a genetic polymorphism −1535 C > T located in the visfatin gene promoter has been suggested to be associated with the regulation of visfatin expression in some inflammatory illness. However, there were some conflicting results regarding whether this variant is functional or not. This study aimed to examine the relations of the −1535 C > T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of visfatin gene to the plasma visfatin and C-reactive protein concentrations in traumatic brain injury (TBI). 318 Chinese Han patients with TBI were recruited in this study. Plasma visfatin and C-reactive protein levels were significantly different between the genotypes in the SNP-1535 C > T even after adjustment for age, sex and body mass index. The genotype C–C had the highest plasma visfatin and C-reactive protein concentrations. The plasma visfatin and C-reactive protein concentrations between the variant genotypes C–T and T–T did not differ significantly. Plasma visfatin level was significantly associated with plasma C-reactive protein level using multivariate linear regression. Thus, the SNP-1535 C > T of visfatin gene seemed to be potentially involved in the inflammatory component of TBI through a decreased production of visfatin.  相似文献

BackgroundTransportation of anticancer drugs such as anthracyclines across the membrane is regulated by P-glycoprotein encoded by the human multidrug resistance gene 1 (ABCB1). Polymorphisms in the ABCB1 gene (1236C > T, 2677G > T/A, 3435C > T) have been found to be associated with intrinsic and acquired cross resistance to these anticancer drugs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of ABCB1 gene polymorphisms in breast cancer treatment outcomes in terms of response and toxicity.MethodResponse to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was evaluated in 100 patients while grade 2–4 toxicity was followed in 207 patients, who had undergone FEC/FAC chemotherapy. Genotyping for ABCB1 polymorphisms was done by PCR-RFLP. Chi square and logistic regression analyses were used to calculate Odd's ratio using SPSS ver 17.0. A meta analysis was also performed using Comprehensive Meta Analysis Ver 2.ResultsIn response evaluation, 1236C > T polymorphism was significantly associated with treatment response for CT genotype [OR = 5.17(1.3–20.2), P = 0.018] and in dominant model (CC vs CT + TT) [OR = 4.63(1.25–17.0), P = 0.021]. In the toxicity group, the T allele of 1236C>T was associated with grade 2–4 tocxicity [OR 1.48(1.00–2.20), P = 0.049] and the association was also significant in the recessive model [OR 1.88(1.05–3.39), P = 0.033]. For other two SNPs 2677G>T/A and 3435C>T no association was seen with either treatment response or grade 2–4 toxicity. In meta analysis, no overall association was found.ConclusionIn our study, significant association was seen for ABCB1 1236C>T polymorphism with treatment response. The meta analysis did not show overall association with treatment outcomes.  相似文献

The hereditary disorder ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is associated with striking cellular radiosensitivity that cannot be attributed to the characterized cell cycle checkpoint defects. By epistasis analysis, we show that ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein (ATM) and Artemis, the protein defective in patients with RS-SCID, function in a common double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway that also requires H2AX, 53BP1, Nbs1, Mre11, and DNA-PK. We show that radiation-induced Artemis hyperphosphorylation is ATM dependent. The DSB repair process requires Artemis nuclease activity and rejoins approximately 10% of radiation-induced DSBs. Our findings are consistent with a model in which ATM is required for Artemis-dependent processing of double-stranded ends with damaged termini. We demonstrate that Artemis is a downstream component of the ATM signaling pathway required uniquely for the DSB repair function but dispensable for ATM-dependent cell cycle checkpoint arrest. The significant radiosensitivity of Artemis-deficient cells demonstrates the importance of this component of DSB repair to survival.  相似文献

Hereditary ataxias are genetic disorders characterized by uncoordinated gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements. Frequently, atrophy of the cerebellum occurs. Many ataxias are autosomal dominant, but autosomal recessive (AR) disease occurs as well. Homozygosity mapping in a consanguineous family with three affected children with progressive cerebellar ataxia and atrophy revealed a candidate locus on chromosome 1, containing the CABC1/ADCK3 (the chaperone, ABC1 activity of bc1 complex homologue) gene. CABC1/ADCK3 is the homologue of the yeast Coq8 gene, which is involved in the ubiquinone biosynthesis pathway. Mutation analysis of this gene showed a homozygous nonsense mutation (c.1042C > T, p.R348X). Eight additional patients with AR cerebellar ataxia and atrophy were screened for mutations in the CABC1/ADCK3 gene. One patient was compound heterozygous for the same c.1042C > T mutation and a second nonsense mutation (c.1136T > A, p.L379X). Both mutations created a premature stop codon, triggering nonsense mediated mRNA decay as the pathogenic mechanism. We found no evidence of a Dutch founder for the c.1042C > T mutation in AR ataxia. We report here the first nonsense mutations in CABC1 that most likely lead to complete absence of a functional CABC1 protein. Our results indicate that CABC1 is an important candidate for mutation analysis in progressive cerebellar ataxia and atrophy on MRI to identify those patients, who may benefit from CoQ10 treatment.  相似文献

Exposure of cells to ionizing radiation or radiomimetic drugs generates DNA double-strand breaks that are processed either by homologous recombination repair (HRR), or by canonical, DNA-PKcs-dependent non-homologous end-joining (C-NHEJ). Chemical or genetic inactivation of factors involved in C-NHEJ or HRR, but also their local failure in repair proficient cells, promotes an alternative, error-prone end-joining pathway that serves as backup (A-EJ). There is evidence for the involvement of Artemis endonuclease, a protein deficient in a human radiosensitivity syndrome associated with severe immunodeficiency (RS-SCID), in the processing of subsets of DSBs by HRR or C-NHEJ. It is thought that within HRR or C-NHEJ Artemis processes DNA termini at complex DSBs. Whether Artemis has a role in A-EJ remains unknown. Here, we analyze using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and specialized reporter assays, DSB repair in wild-type pre-B NALM-6 lymphocytes, as well as in their Artemis−/−, DNA ligase 4−/− (LIG4−/−), and LIG4−/−/Artemis−/− double mutant counterparts, under conditions allowing evaluation of A-EJ. Our results substantiate the suggested roles of Artemis in C-NHEJ and HRR, but also demonstrate a role for the protein in A-EJ that is confirmed in Artemis deficient normal human fibroblasts. We conclude that Artemis is a nuclease participating in DSB repair by all major repair pathways.  相似文献

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are a group of fatal recessively inherited neurodegenerative diseases of humans and animals characterised by common clinical signs and pathology. These include blindness, ataxia, dementia, behavioural changes, seizures, brain and retinal atrophy and accumulation of fluorescent lysosome derived organelles in most cells. A number of different variants have been suggested and seven different causative genes identified in humans (CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN5, CLN6, CLN8 and CTSD). Animal models have played a central role in the investigation of this group of diseases and are extremely valuable for developing a better understanding of the disease mechanisms and possible therapeutic approaches. Ovine models include flocks of affected New Zealand South Hampshires and Borderdales and Australian Merinos. The ovine CLN6 gene has been sequenced in a representative selection of these sheep. These investigations unveiled the mutation responsible for the disease in Merino sheep (c.184C > T; p.Arg62Cys) and three common ovine allelic variants (c.56A > G, c.822G > A and c.933_934insCT). Linkage analysis established that CLN6 is the gene most likely to cause NCL in affected South Hampshire sheep, which do not have the c.184C > T mutation but show reduced expression of CLN6 mRNA in a range of tissues as determined by real-time PCR. Lack of linkage precludes CLN6 as a candidate for NCL in Borderdale sheep.  相似文献

The inflammatory process has been considered an important mediator for the development of atherosclerosis. Interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) is a precursor of interleukin-6 (IL6) in the acute phase of inflammatory response and their levels are elevated in patients with coronary artery disease. The aim of the present study was to further investigate the association of IL-1B and IL-6 gene polymorphisms and angiographically assessed coronary artery disease (CAD) in African- and Caucasian-Brazilians. This report analyzed the IL-1B-511C>T and IL-6-174G>C polymorphisms in 667 patients (253 African-Brazilians and 414 Caucasian-Brazilians) who underwent coronary angiography. Patients with a coronary obstructive lesion ⩾50% presented a higher frequency of the IL-1B-511CC genotype (30.4%) compared to lesion-free individuals (16.5%, p = 0.032) in African- but not in Caucasian-Brazilians. No significant genotype frequency difference was identified for the IL-6-174G>C polymorphism in either ethnic groups. However, after correction for other CAD risk factors using multivariate logistic regression, both the IL-1B-511CC [Odds ratio (OR) = 2.3; p = 0.019] and the IL-6-174GG (OR = 2.0; p = 0.028) genotypes were considered independent CAD risk predictors in African-Brazilians. This report shows that the IL-1B-511C>T and IL-6-174G>C polymorphisms were associated with CAD risk in African-Brazilians and no association was detected among Caucasian-Brazilians.  相似文献

We recently reported an association between interleukin-6 (IL6) polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes and aggressive periodontitis (AgP). The aim of this study was to investigate this association in a larger cohort of subjects, affected by either aggressive or chronic periodontitis. Five IL6 SNPs were analyzed in 765 subjects (167 generalized aggressive periodontitis, 57 localized aggressive, 310 chronic periodontitis and 231 periodontally healthy). Among Caucasians (n = 454) there were moderate associations for ?1363T allele (p = 0.011) and for ?174GG and ?1363GG genotypes with diagnosis of periodontitis (respectively, p = 0.044, OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.0–2.4, and p = 0.017, OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.1–2.8, adjusted for age, gender and smoking). Haplotypes containing the ?174G>C, ?1363G>T and ?1480C>G polymorphisms were associated with diagnosis of periodontitis (p = 0.02). Subgroup analysis by disease phenotype showed associations for the localized AgP (LAgP) group and ?1480C>G and ?6106A>T SNPs (p = 0.007 and 0.010, respectively). Among Caucasians the genotypes IL6 ?1480 CC and ?6106 TT increased the adjusted OR for LAgP (OR = 3.09 and 2.27, respectively). This study supports the hypothesis that IL6 polymorphisms and haplotypes are moderately associated with periodontitis, possibly acting through influencing tissue levels of IL6. This association is stronger for LAgP than for other periodontal disease phenotypes.  相似文献

Background: Lost or downexpression of the gene deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1) has been implicated in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We examined the relationship between DLC1 polymorphisms and HCC risk among Chinese. Methods: Three DLC1 polymorphisms, Ex11 + 255T > G (rs3739298), Ex11-620G > A (rs532841) and IVS19 + 108C > T (rs621554), were genotyped in 434 patients with HCC and 480 controls by PCR-RFLP. The associations with the susceptibility to HCC were evaluated while controlling for confounding factors. Results: We observed significantly increased susceptibility to HCC for the C/C genotype compared with T/T of IVS19 + 108C > T in the HBV carriers (OR = 2.95, 95% CI, 1.65–5.26, P < 0.001). Compared with the haplotype G-A-T (in order of Ex11 + 255T > G, Ex11-620G > A and IVS19 + 108C > T), the haplotype T-G-C was also significantly associated with an increased susceptibility to HCC among HBV carriers (OR = 2.16, 95% CI, 1.08–4.35, P = 0.009). The stratified analysis indicated no modification of the confounding factors on the increased susceptibility to HCC related to the DLC1 polymorphism/haplotype. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that DLC1 genetic polymorphism or haplotype play a role in mediating the susceptibility to HBV-related HCC.  相似文献

AimsIn this study, the effects of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), ? 3860G > A, ? 2467delT, ? 739T > G and ? 163C > A, of CYP1A2 gene on lung cancer were evaluated in Tunisian population.Main methodsFour polymorphisms of CYP1A2 gene were analysed in 109 healthy smokers and in 101 lung cancer cases, including 63 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 41 with adenocarcinoma (AD). The genotyping for the SNPs ? 3860 G > A, ? 2467delT, ? 739T > G and ? 163C > A was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.Key findingsThe results showed that smokers with CYP1A2 gene polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk for the development of lung AD. There was however no significant increased risk of developing lung SCC in smokers having CYP1A2 gene polymorphisms. An increased risk of developing AD was observed in smokers who are carriers of at least one copy of ? 3680A or ? 739G giving a significant odds ratio (OR) of 6.02 (CI = 2.91–12.9) and 3.01 (CI = 1.54–5.98), respectively.SignificanceThese genotyping data are consistent with the hypothesis that tobacco-specific-N-nitrosamines (TSN) such as 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) are major contributors to the development of lung AD and that CYP1A2 gene product plays an important role in the metabolic activation of NNK. This study suggests that SNPs of CYP1A2 could be considered as promising biomarkers in the aetiology of lung AD in smokers.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of IL6, IL12B and VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax infection symptoms intensity, parasitemia and gametocytemia levels in a Brazilian Amazonian population.MethodsA total of 167 malaria patients infected by P. vivax have parasitemia and gametocytemia levels estimated before treatment. Fourteen clinical symptoms were evaluated and included in a principal component analysis to derive a clinical symptom index. Patients were genotyped for IL6-174C > G, IL12B 735T > C, 458A > G, 159A > C, and VDR FokI, TaqI, BsmI SNPs by Taqman 5’ nuclease assays. A General Linear Model analysis of covariance with age, gender, exposure period and infection history and genetic ancestry was performed to investigate the association of genotypes with parasitemia and gametocytemia levels and with a clinical symptom index.ResultsHigher parasitemia levels were observed in IL6-174C carriers (p = 0.02) whereas IL12B CGT haplotype carriers presented lower parasitemia levels (p = 0.008). VDR TaqIC/BsmIA haplotype carriers showed higher gametocyte levels than non-carriers (p = 0.013). Based on the clinical index values the IL6-174C > G polymorphism was associated with malaria severity. The IL6-174C carriers presented a more severe clinical index when compared to GG homozygotes (p = 0.001).ConclusionThe present study suggests that IL6, IL12 and VDR influence severity, parasitemia and gametocytemia clearance in P. vivax infections, and highlights their potential role in malaria immune response in an Amazonian population.  相似文献

BackgroundDNA repair mechanisms play a major role in cancer risk and progression. Germline variants in DNA repair genes may result in altered gene function and/or activity, thereby causing inter-individual differences in a patient's tumor recurrence capacity. In genes of the DNA repair pathway the gene variants RAD51 rs1801320 G > C, XRCC2 rs3218536 G > A and XPD rs13181 A > C have been previously related to genetic predisposition and prognosis of various cancer entities. In this study we investigated the association between these polymorphisms and time to recurrence (TTR) and overall survival (OS) in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) patients after curative surgery.MethodsTwo hundred sixty STS patients were included in this retrospective study. Germline DNA was genotyped by 5′-exonuclease (TaqMan) technology. Kaplan Meier curves and multivariate Cox proportional models were calculated for TTR and OS.ResultsA statistically significant association was observed between tumor grade and adjuvant radiotherapy and TTR and between tumor grade and OS. No association was found between RAD51 rs1801320 G > C, XRCC2 rs3218536 G > A and XPD rs13181 A > C and TTR and OS in univariate and multivariate analysis.ConclusionOur results underline a prognostic effect of tumor grade and adjuvant radiotherapy in STS patients but indicate no association between RAD51 rs1801320 G > C, XRCC2 rs3218536 G > A and XPD rs13181 A > C and clinical outcome in STS patients after curative surgery.  相似文献

Methylating agents are involved in carcinogenesis, and the DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) removes methyl group from O6-methylguanine. Genetic variation in DNA repair genes has been shown to contribute to susceptibility to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We hypothesize that MGMT polymorphisms are associated with risk of SCCHN. In a hospital-based case–control study of 721 patients with SCCHN and 1234 cancer-free controls frequency-matched by age, sex and ethnicity, we genotyped four MGMT polymorphisms, two in exon 3, 16195C > T and 16286C > T and two in the promoter region, 45996G > T and 46346C > A. We found that none of these polymorphisms alone had a significant effect on risk of SCCHN. However, when these four polymorphisms were evaluated together by the number of putative risk genotypes (i.e. 16195CC, 16286CC, 45996GT + TT, and 46346CA + AA), a statistically significantly increased risk of SCCHN was associated with the combined genotypes with three to four risk genotypes, compared with those with zero to two risk genotypes (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.27; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.05–1.53). This increased risk was also more pronounced among young subjects (OR = 1.81; 95% CI = 1.11–2.96), men (OR = 1.24; 95% CI = 1.00–1.55), ever smokers (OR = 1.25; 95% = 1.01–1.56), ever drinkers (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 1.04–1.60), patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OR = 1.45; 95% CI = 1.12–1.87), and oropharyngeal cancer with regional lymph node metastasis (OR = 1.52; 95% CI = 1.16–1.89). In conclusion, our results suggest that any one of MGMT variants may not have a substantial effect on SCCHN risk, but a joint effect of several MGMT variants may contribute to risk and progression of SCCHN, particularly for oropharyngeal cancer, in non-Hispanic whites.  相似文献

The interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family of DNA-binding proteins regulates expression of interferon-inducible genes with roles in the immune response and carcinogenesis. IRF4 is involved in the differentiation of B and T cells and is overexpressed in B-cell malignancies as a result of c-REL (NF-κB) hyperactivation. IRF4 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We examined 13 IRF4 SNPs in 114 cases of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 388 newborn controls from Wales (U.K.) using TaqMan assays. IRF4 intron 4 SNP rs12203592 showed a male-specific risk association (OR = 4.4, 95% CI = 1.5 to 12.6, P = 0.007). Functional consequences of the C > T substitution at this SNP were assessed by cell-based reporter assays using three different cell lines. We found a repressive effect of the rs12203592 wildtype allele C on IRF4 promoter activity (P < 0.001) but no repression by the variant allele in any cell line tested. Thus, homozygosity for the rs12203592 variant allele would result in increased IRF4 expression. This increase would be compounded by high levels of NF-κB activity in males due to the absence of estrogen. IRF4 differs from other IRFs in its anti-interferon activity which interferes with immune surveillance. We propose that a detailed study of IRF4 can provide information on the mechanism of the sex effect and the role of immune surveillance in childhood ALL development.  相似文献

Background: The CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), together with extensive promoter methylation, is regarded as one of the mechanisms involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. The mechanisms underlying CIMP in sporadic colorectal cancer are poorly understood. Genes involved in methyl-group metabolism are likely to affect DNA methylation and thereby influence an individual's risk of CIMP. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether polymorphisms in the genes encoding methyl-group metabolism pathway predispose to CIMP+ and/or CIMP? CRC. Methods: We examined the potential association between the polymorphisms of MTHFR 677C>T, TS 5′UTR 2R/3R, TS 3′UTR 1494del6, ΔDNMT3B ?149C>T and DNMT3B ?283T>C in a group of 46 CIMP+ CRC cases, 140 CIMP? CRC cases and 140 healthy controls. The CIMP status of the CRC cases was determined by MS-PCR in tumor tissue by a panel of five markers (CACNA1G, IGF2, NEUROG1, RUNX3 and SOCS1), which was also followed by analyzing hMLH1 methylation and BRAF V600E mutation. Results: The variant allele homozygote genotype for the ΔDNMT3B ?283T>C polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk for CIMP+ CRC (OR: 0.31, 95%CI: 0.09–0.73, p = 0.009). Individuals with TS 3R/3R had an increased risk of CIMP? CRC (OR: 2.21, 95%CI: 1.23–4.91, p = 0.01). Moreover, the carriers of 3R allele had an increased risk of CIMP? CRC (OR: 1.45, 95%CI: 1.10–2.13, p = 0.01). Conclusion: This study provides support to the hypothesis that methyl-group metabolism plays a role in the etiology of both CIMP+ and CIMP? colorectal cancers but has a different impact on a distinct molecular subgroups of colorectal cancer.  相似文献
