The major targets of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) are thymidylate synthase (TS) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Therefore, we hypothesized that the variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) of the thymidylate synthase enhancer region (TSER) together with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR 677C>T) polymorphism could alter drug activity and predict drug toxicity or efficacy. This study was designed to investigate the influence of TSER and MTHFR polymorphisms on the clinical outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer receiving 5-FU-based chemotherapy. Genomic DNA was isolated from 103 samples of colorectal cancer patients. The genotypes of two common polymorphisms (TSER and MTHFR 677C>T) were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Patient prognoses were compared with genotype groups and analyzed according to tumor location and gender. There were no differences in prognosis between genotypes or functional groups when the TSER and MTHFR groups were considered separately. However, analysis of combined genotypes of the TSER and the MTHFR 677C>T polymorphisms were associated with the survival rate of colorectal cancer patients who received 5-FU-based chemotherapy (P=0.028). Prognosis of colorectal cancer patients was significantly different between proximal colon and distal colon cancers (P=0.002). However, prognosis did not receive any effect of the combined genotype when analyzed according to tumor location, such as proximal and distal colon cancer. The male group also showed a significant difference between low and high risk types of TSER and MTHFR combined genotypes when stratified according to gender (P=0.019). In conclusion, the combined TSER and MTHFR 677C>T genotypes can be potential prognostic factors in colorectal cancer with 5-FU-based chemotherapy, especially in male gender in Koreans. 相似文献

The upstream regulatory region of the human thymidylate synthase gene (thymidylate synthase enhancer region, TSER) is length polymorphic, attributable to variable numbers of tandemly repeated copies of a 28-bp fragment. It has been found that TSER length polymorphism is correlated to malignancy risk. To further our understanding of the origin and evolution of TSER, this region was investigated among different primates, including hominoids, two subfamilies of the Old World monkeys (OWMs): colobines and cercopithecines, and two species of the New World monkeys (NWMs). In addition to humans, our results show that length polymorphism in TSER is also present in some primate populations, although it appears that this region is length monomorphic in many other primates. We identified three unique repeat motifs in TSER and defined them as R1, R2, and R3, respectively, starting from the 3' end. The same repeat motifs from different species are more similar to each other than different repeat motifs within same species are. Such a paraphyletic pattern suggests that divergence of the three repeat motifs predated divergence of the OWMs/hominoids and the NWMs. The most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of hominoids and the OWMs probably possessed triple repeats but now double and triple repeats are two dominant types in hominoids and the OWMs. In addition, our results show that each of the three repeat motifs may be lost independently. We have also found clues that recombination was involved in formation of tandem repeat polymorphism in TSER. 相似文献

Two important polymorphisms of folate cycle enzymes, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and thymidylate synthase (TS) enhancer region (TSER) 28-bp tandem repeat, are related to risk of various types of cancer, including brain tumors, although there are few studies on this subject. A case-control study of these two polymorphisms in astrocytomas of different grades was carried out using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, also determining the immunohistochemical expression of TS. The MTHFR 677 TT genotype was less associated with astrocytic tumors (odds ratio [OR]=0.00; p=0.0238), but the TSER polymorphism did not show any significant association. Combined genotype TT-double repeats/triple repeats (2R/3R) had a protective effect against astrocytomas (OR=0.00; p=0.0388). Expression of TS protein was observed in the majority of cases, with grade IV tumors being the exception. Moreover, the median H-score for the pilocytic astrocytomas was significantly higher when compared with that for diffuse tumors. There was an inverse correlation between the 2R/2R genotype and the highest TS-expressing tumors, and 3R/3R was relatively more frequent among the tumors grouped in the third and fourth quartiles. Our results provide support for the role of MTHFR and TS polymorphism in gliomagenesis, possibly because of the alteration of DNA methylation and repair status. Moreover, high levels of TS expression were detected in these tumors. 相似文献

Mutation analysis of p53 in ovarian tumors by DHPLC 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Up to now, ovarian carcinomas represent a major health problem among female cancers because they are the leading cause of death from gynecological malignancy. A high proportion of these tumors selects for mutations in the p53 gene. There is evidence that inactivation of the p53 protein could indicate poor prognosis and chemoresistance of patients. To set up a fast and sensitive test for p53 defects in tumor tissues, we analyzed ovarian cancer cells by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). A primer set spanning the whole coding region of p53 with seven fragments was designed and appropriate heteroduplex detection in DHPLC analysis was elaborated. The analysis of 45 ovarian tumor specimens yielded 17 genetic alterations (38%) occurring exclusively in the malignant tissue of the patients. In addition, frequent polymorphisms present in normal compared to tumor tissue could serve as a tool for the rapid identification of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the tumor. We observed that LOH in intron 2 or 3 correlated well with a lack of one allele in mutated fragments. In conclusion, DHPLC screening appears to be a sensitive and effective test for genetic alterations in tumors with p53 involvement. Since p53 mutations point to a poor prognosis state in several cancers, a fast screening of tumor material for genetic variations may have implications for further individual treatment of patients. 相似文献

Application of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography for mapping of single nucleotide polymorphisms in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Recent advances in DNA sequence analysis and the establishment of high-throughput assays have provided the framework for large-scale discovery and analysis of DNA sequence variation. In this context, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are of particular interest. To initiate a systematic approach to develop an SNP map of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), we have employed denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) to analyse segregating SNP patterns in a doubled-haploid (DH) mapping population. To this end, SNPs between the parental genotypes were identified using a direct sequencing approach. Once a SNP was established between the parents, the optimal melting temperature of the PCR fragment containing the SNP was predicted for its analysis by DHPLC. Following the detection of the optimal temperature, the DH lines were analysed for the presence of either of the alleles. To test the utility of the analysis, data from previously mapped RFLP markers from which these SNPs were derived were compared. Results from these experiments indicate that DHPLC can be efficiently employed in analysing SNPs on a high-throughput scale. 相似文献

Recent DNA sequencing projects and the establishment of high-throughput assays have provided an abundance of sequence information and data on nucleotide polymorphisms in rice. Based on previously identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions, we employed denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) to genotype rice varieties using a chromatographic pattern-based strategy. In this study, 12 amplicons harboring multiple and informative SNPs were screened. PCR products of the 12 amplicons from 47 rice varieties were analyzed by DHPLC and DNA sequencing. Each homozygous sample with a single peak pattern in the initial DHPLC analysis was mixed with zhenshan97 for a second DHPLC analysis. The 12 amplicons were found to be polymorphic across the hybrids, and mixed homozygous samples with 43 distinct DHPLC elution profiles detected. Sequence analysis confirmed that the distinct DHPLC patterns corresponded to different DNA sequences. A set of distinct characteristic profiles in six amplicons differentiated between all of the hybrids, inbred lines, and restorer lines and produced unique a fingerprint for these lines. In addition, we found that the DHPLC pattern of the hybrid was in accordance with the results obtained by DHPLC analysis of a mixed sample of the two parents. These results demonstrate that DHPLC can be efficiently applied for the rapid and automated identification of diverse rice varieties and could possibly be utilized for seed genetic purity testing on a high-throughput scale. 相似文献

Hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with the risk of skeletal health problems, such as osteoporosis, low body mineral density, and fracture. 5, 10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and thymidylate synthase (TS) are involved in homocysteine metabolism. We hypothesized that certain genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR and TS that cause altered enzyme activity may lead to hyperhomocysteinemia and affect bone metabolism. Therefore, we determined whether MTHFR 677C>T, MTHFR 1298A>C, TS enhancer region (TSER), and TS 3??-UTR 6 bp insertion/deletion polymorphisms are associated with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in postmenopausal Korean women. A total of 308 postmenopausal Korean women were enrolled as study subjects. Among them, 84 were patients with OVCF and 224 were controls. The polymorphisms were analysed by PCR-RFLP methods. Single mutations of MTHFR or TS were not associated with the occurrence of OVCF. However, the combined genotypes 2R3R+2R2R/0bp6bp+6bp6bp (TSER/TS 3??-UTR) and AC+CC/0bp6bp+6bp6bp (MTHFR 1298A>C/TS 3??-UTR) were associated with decreased risk for OVCF. 2R-0bp and 2R-6bp haplotype frequencies of TS were significantly different between the cases and controls. In the present study, the combined genotype of TSER/TS 3??-UTR and MTHFR 1298A>C/TS 3??-UTR was associated with a decreased risk for OVCF in postmenopausal Korean women. However, due to the several limitations of our study including the moderately small sample size, our findings should be considered with caution and further research is needed to draw more definitive conclusions. 相似文献

Length Polymorphism of Thymidylate Synthase Regulatory Region in Chinese Populations and Evolution of the Novel Alleles 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The tandemly repeated 28-bp sequence in the 5-terminal regulatory region of human thymidylate synthase (TSER), which has been reported to be polymorphic in different populations, was surveyed in 668 Chinese from 9 Han groups, 8 ethnic populations, and 36 individuals representing a three-generation pedigree. Amplified fragments were separated by electrophoresis on 4% agarose gel. In addition to the reported double and triple repeats of the 28-bp sequence in TSER, we also detected a novel quintuple repeat in this region. The transient expression activity of TSER with the quintuple repeat is almost the same as that of the reported TSER with the triple repeat. All three alleles of the repeat type (2, 3, and 5) were further confirmed by sequencing. The frequencies of the TSER allele 2 and 3 were 18.82 and 81% in totally unrelated Chinese samples, respectively, while the frequency of allele 3 was variable in different Chinese populations with a range from 62 to 95%. On the basis of the sequences of the different alleles, the existence of the tandem repeats in each allele might be explained by slipped-strand mispairing during DNA replication. 相似文献

The most common genetic variations in the human genome, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are ideal biomarkers and are used extensively in disease research. Here we introduce a novel method of PCR-conformation-difference gel electrophoresis (PCR-CDGE) used for detecting SNPs. The principle of PCR-CDGE relies PCR products from different homozygous DNA samples showing dissimilar migration patterns upon PAGE due to their conformational differences. PCR products from heterozygous DNA samples may exhibit two or more bands in PAGE because of the existence of DNA homoduplexes and heteroduplexes. In this study, analysis of two SNPs showed that PCR-CDGE is an accurate, simple, rapid, low-cost, and high-throughput genotyping method that could be used in most laboratories. 相似文献

Motivation: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is one of the mostimportant mechanisms in the tumor evolution. LOH can be detectedfrom the genotypes of the tumor samples with or without pairednormal samples. In paired sample cases, LOH detection for informativesingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is straightforward ifthere is no genotyping error. But genotyping errors are alwaysunavoidable, and there are about 70% non-informative SNPs whoseLOH status can only be inferred from the neighboring informativeSNPs. Results: This article presents a novel LOH inference and segmentationalgorithm based on the conditional random pattern (CRP) model.The new model explicitly considers the distance between twoneighboring SNPs, as well as the genotyping error rate and theheterozygous rate. This new method is tested on the simulatedand real data of the Affymetrix Human Mapping 500K SNP arrays.The experimental results show that the CRP method outperformsthe conventional methods based on the hidden Markov model (HMM).

The development of a reliable and simple method for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), common genetic variations in the human genome, is currently an important research area because SNPs are important for identifying disease-causing genes and for pharmacogenetic studies. Here, we developed a novel method for SNP detection. We designed and synthesized DNA probes containing a fluorescent tricyclic base-linked acyclonucleoside P. The type of nucleobases involved in the SNP sites in the DNA and RNA targets could be determined using four DNA probes containing P. Thus, this system would provide a novel and simple method for detecting SNPs in DNA and RNA targets. 相似文献

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been increasingly utilized to investigate somatic genetic abnormalities in premalignancy and cancer. LOH is a common alteration observed during cancer development, and SNP assays have been used to identify LOH at specific chromosomal regions. The design of such studies requires consideration of the resolution for detecting LOH throughout the genome and identification of the number and location of SNPs required to detect genetic alterations in specific genomic regions. Our study evaluated SNP distribution patterns and used probability models, Monte Carlo simulation, and real human subject genotype data to investigate the relationships between the number of SNPs, SNP HET rates, and the sensitivity (resolution) for detecting LOH. We report that variances of SNP heterozygosity rate in dbSNP are high for a large proportion of SNPs. Two statistical methods proposed for directly inferring SNP heterozygosity rates require much smaller sample sizes (intermediate sizes) and are feasible for practical use in SNP selection or verification. Using HapMap data, we showed that a region of LOH greater than 200 kb can be reliably detected, with losses smaller than 50 kb having a substantially lower detection probability when using all SNPs currently in the HapMap database. Higher densities of SNPs may exist in certain local chromosomal regions that provide some opportunities for reliably detecting LOH of segment sizes smaller than 50 kb. These results suggest that the interpretation of the results from genome-wide scans for LOH using commercial arrays need to consider the relationships among inter-SNP distance, detection probability, and sample size for a specific study. New experimental designs for LOH studies would also benefit from considering the power of detection and sample sizes required to accomplish the proposed aims. 相似文献

Screening methods for unknown DNA sequence variations are laborious, expensive, and relatively insensitive. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of denaturing high-pressure liquid chromatography (DHPLC) screening for unknown protein C gene (PROC) mutations, we studied 31 PROC-deficient patients. Eleven amplimers containing 4 kb of the PROC gene and spanning all exons, splice junctions, and the putative promoter and 3'-untranslated regions were amplified by PCR for each patient. Each amplimer (n = 341) was sequenced with a fluorescence-based method, and screened by DHPLC. Sequencing identified 10 unique mutations and three polymorphisms. Combining all mutations and polymorphisms, 227 amplimers were homozygous wildtype, and 63 and 51 were heterozygous and homozygous mutant, respectively. DHPLC screening correctly identified all amplimers (100% sensitivity and specificity). DHPLC is a rapid, automated, sensitive and specific screening method for unknown mutations within the PROC gene, and may be a useful screening method for unknown mutations within other genes. 相似文献

Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the initial, rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). A pharmacogenetic syndrome has been described in which DPD-deficient patients are at risk for toxicity following administration of 5-FU. To date, there are at least 21 previously described mutations and/or polymorphisms that have been associated with DPD deficiency. In this study we describe the development of a highly specific, sensitive, inexpensive, and robust denaturing HPLC (DHPLC) method for rapidly identifying sequence variations (mutations and/or polymorphisms) in the gene (DPYD) that codes for the DPD enzyme. DHPLC conditions were optimized at three temperatures for analysis of the 23 exons of the DPYD gene using 25 amplicons representing the entire coding sequence, including all intron/exon boundaries (splice sites). Resolution of all 25 amplicons at the optimized temperature can be performed in 4.2 h. All 21 previously described sequence variations (mutations and/or polymorphisms) were prepared using site-directed mutagenesis from the wild-type DPYD gene, confirmed by sequence analysis, and subsequently resolved by DHPLC using the optimized conditions. These analyses generated reference chromatogram patterns for all known sequence variations previously encountered in DPD-deficient patients. In order to examine the utility and sensitivity of this approach, samples from patients with known sequence variations in the DPYD gene were analyzed. This DHPLC technique resolved 100% of the known DPYD sequence variations and differentiated between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes. We conclude that this DHPLC method is a highly specific and sensitive technique for rapidly detecting known sequence variations in the DPYD gene. In addition, this approach can be used to identify currently unrecognized unknown sequence variations in the DPYD gene and should be useful in future pharmacogenetic studies examining DPD deficiency. 相似文献

Loss-of-heterozygosity analysis of small-cell lung carcinomas using single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

Human cancers arise by a combination of discrete mutations and chromosomal alterations. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosomal regions bearing mutated tumor suppressor genes is a key event in the evolution of epithelial and mesenchymal tumors. Global patterns of LOH can be understood through allelotyping of tumors with polymorphic genetic markers. Simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs, or microsatellites) are reliable genetic markers for studying LOH, but only a modest number of SSLPs are used in LOH studies because the genotyping procedure is rather tedious. Here, we report the use of a highly parallel approach to genotype large numbers of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for LOH, in which samples are genotyped for nearly 1,500 loci by performing 24 polymerase chain reactions (PCR), pooling the resulting amplification products and hybridizing the mixture to a high-density oligonucleotide array. We characterize the results of LOH analyses on human small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and control DNA samples by hybridization. We show that the patterns of LOH are consistent with those obtained by analysis with both SSLPs and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), whereas amplifications rarely are detected by the SNP array. The results validate the use of SNP array hybridization for tumor studies. 相似文献

Genome variation studies in Plasmodium falciparum have focused on SNPs and, more recently, large-scale copy number polymorphisms and ectopic rearrangements. Here, we examine
another source of variation: variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs). Interspersed low complexity features, including the well-studied
P. falciparum microsatellite sequences, are commonly classified as VNTRs; however, this study is focused on longer coding VNTR polymorphisms,
a small class of copy number variations. Selection against frameshift mutation is a main constraint on tandem repeats (TRs)
in coding regions, while limited propagation of TRs longer than 975 nt total length is a minor restriction in coding regions.
Comparative analysis of three P. falciparum genomes reveals that more than 9% of all P. falciparum ORFs harbor VNTRs, much more than has been reported for any other species. Moreover, genotyping of VNTR loci in a drug-selected
line, progeny of a genetic cross, and 334 field isolates demonstrates broad variability in these sequences. Functional enrichment
analysis of ORFs harboring VNTRs identifies stress and DNA damage responses along with chromatin modification activities,
suggesting an influence on genome mutability and functional variation. Analysis of the repeat units and their flanking regions
in both P. falciparum and Plasmodium reichenowi sequences implicates a replication slippage mechanism in the generation of TRs from an initially unrepeated sequence. VNTRs
can contribute to rapid adaptation by localized sequence duplication. They also can confound SNP-typing microarrays or mapping
short-sequence reads and therefore must be accounted for in such analyses. 相似文献

High-throughput SNP detection by using DNA pooling and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28
One of the critical steps in the positional cloning of a complex disease gene involves association analysis between a phenotype and a set of densely spaced diallelic markers, typically single nucleotide repeats (SNPs), covering the region of interest. However, the effort and cost of detecting sufficient numbers of SNPs across relatively large physical distances represents a significant rate-limiting step. We have explored DNA pooling, in conjunction with denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), as a possible strategy for augmenting the efficiency, economy, and throughput of SNP detection. DHPLC is traditionally used to detect variants in polymerase chain reaction products containing both allelic forms of a polymorphism (e.g., heterozygotes or a 1:1 mix of both alleles) via heteroduplex separation and thereby requires separate analyses of multiple individual test samples. We have adapted this technology to identify variants in pooled DNA. To evaluate the utility and sensitivity of this approach, we constructed DNA pools comprised of 20 previously genotyped individuals with a frequency representation of 0%-50% for the variant allele. Mutation detection was performed by using temperature-modulated heteroduplex formation/DHPLC and dye-terminator sequencing. Using DHPLC, we could consistently detect SNPs at lower than 5% frequency, corresponding to the detection of one variant allele in a pool of 20 alleles. In contrast, fluorescent sequencing detected variants in the same pools only if the frequency of the less common allele was at least 10%. We conclude that DNA pooling of samples for DHPLC analysis is an effective way to increase throughput efficiency of SNP detection. 相似文献

This study demonstrates an array-based platform to genotype simultaneously single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and some short insertions/deletions (indels) by the integration of the universal tag/anti-tag (TAT) system, liquid-phase primer extension (LIPEX), and a novel two-color detection strategy on an array format (TATLIPEXA). The TAT system permits a universal chip to be used for many applications, and the LIPEX simplifies the sample preparation but improves the sensitivity significantly. More importantly, all SNPs and some short indels can be interrogated in a single reaction with only two fluorescent ddNTPs. The concept of TATLIPEXA is demonstrated for nine SNPs (eight point mutations and one single-base insertion), and genotypes obtained show a remarkable concordance rate of 100% with both DNA sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Moreover, TATLIPEXA is able to provide quantitative information on allele frequency in pooled DNA samples, which could serve as a rapid screening tool for SNPs associated with diseases. 相似文献
