Genome-wide association studies have identified two SNPs (rs402710 and rs401681) of CLPTM1L at chromosome 5p15.33 as a new lung cancer (LC) susceptibility locus in populations of European descent. Since then, the relationship between these SNPs and LC has been reported in various ethnic groups; however, these studies have yielded inconsistent results. To investigate this inconsistency, we performed a meta-analysis of 27 studies involving a total of 60,828 cases and 109,135 controls for the two polymorphisms to evaluate its effect on genetic susceptibility for LC. An overall random-effects per-allele odds ratio of 1.14 (95 % CI 1.11–1.16, P < 10?5) and 1.15 (95 % CI 1.12–1.19, P < 10?5) was found for the rs401681 and rs402710 polymorphism, respectively. Significant results were also observed for under dominant and recessive genetic models. After stratified by ethnicity, significant associations were found among Caucasians and East Asians. In the subgroup analysis by sample size, significantly increased risks were found for these polymorphisms in all genetic models. In addition, we find both rs402710 and rs401681 conferred significantly greater risks for adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma when stratified by histological type of tumors. Furthermore, associations of these polymorphisms with LC risk were observed among current smokers and former smokers, as well as never smokers. Our findings demonstrated that rs402710 and rs401681 are risk-conferring factors for the development of lung cancer. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-1 is an essential regulator of many cytokine signaling pathways, including those upregulated in the inflamed colonic mucosa of patients with ulcerative colitis. We sought to investigate whether the functional SOCS-1 ?1478CA>del polymorphism is associated with UC susceptibility and its disease phenotype in a Turkish clinical sample. A total of 104 subjects were enrolled in a case–control study (52 UC cases and 52 controls). The SOCS-1 ?1478CA>del polymorphism was genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) method. The odds ratio of the del allele for UC relative to the CA allele was not significant (OR = 1.04, 95 % CI 0.59–1.82, P = 0.88). These results did not change after adjustment for age and sex in multivariable regression analysis (OR = 1.07, 95 % CI 0.42–1.69, P = 0.73). When the SOCS-1 ?1478CA>del polymorphism was analyzed among UC patients according to continuous disease and non-continuous disease, the del allele was not associated with disease recurrence (OR = 1.56, 95 % CI 0.78–4.56, P = 0.83). Furthermore, when we divided UC patients into two groups according to a previous history of colectomy, we found no significant effect of the del allele (OR = 1.94, 95 % CI 0.55–5.61, P = 0.91). Taken together, these findings suggest that SOCS-1 ?1478CA>del polymorphism does not contribute to UC susceptibility and its disease phenotype in Turkish subjects. 相似文献

An appropriate ratio of interleukin 1 beta to interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL1Ra) is required for successful pregnancy. Our objective was to study the genetic association between IL1RN variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). To analyze the association between IL1RN VNTR allele and RPL, we investigated the IL1RN VNTR polymorphism in 136 RPL patients and in 200 healthy control women. Meta-analysis on this polymorphism was conducted to support our findings. PCR based approach was used to analyze IL1RN VNTR polymorphism and it was further confirmed by sequencing. Systematic review and meta-analysis was done using electronic database (Pub-Med, Google Scholar and Ovid) up to February 27, 2013. This meta-analysis was assessed by comprehensive meta-analysis software version 2. For meta-analysis 549 cases and 1,450 controls were included. The frequency of IL1RN genotype 2/2 was significantly higher in RPL compared to control group (AORs 3.10, 95 % CI 1.58–6.11, p = 0.001). The presence of rare allele also increased the risk of RPL significantly (ORs 1.63, 95 % CI 1.16–2.29, p = 0.004). The meta-analysis stratified by ethnicity showed that individuals with allele 2 had increased risk of RPL (OR 1.29, 95 % CI 1.04–1.61, p = 0.01), in Asians population by using fixed model. However the data of the present study clearly suggests that IL1RN VNTR polymorphism is a genetic risk factor for pregnancy loss in the study population. 相似文献

TP53 is known as a tumor suppressor gene involved in cell cycle regulation. Many previous epidemiological and clinical studies have evaluated the effects of rs1042522 polymorphism on risk of ovarian cancer. But the results are conflicting and heterogeneous. The primary objective of this study was to examine whether rs1042522 polymorphism is associated with ovarian cancer risk. We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of 19 case–control studies that analyzed rs1042522 polymorphism in ovarian cancer risk. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using distinct genetic models. Heterogeneity between studies was detected by the χ2-based Q test. Additional analyses such as sensitivity analyses and publication bias were also performed. The rs1042522 polymorphism was not overall associated with ovarian cancer risk. But there was a borderline association in the heterozygote model (OR = 1.09, 95 % CI 0.99–1.21). Similar effects were observed in the subgroup of Caucasian population (the heterozygote model: OR = 1.11, 95 % CI 1.00–1.24). No significant heterogeneity and publication bias were revealed in this meta-analysis. This study provides statistical evidence that TP53 rs1042522 polymorphism may play a role in modulating risk of ovarian cancer. This observation requires further analysis of a larger study size. 相似文献

Many studies reported that Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms might influence the cancer risk due to their antiproliferative, antiangiogenic, and apoptotic effects. The aim of this study was to explore the genetic association of VDR polymorphisms with lung cancer risk in Tunisian population. The genotype and haplotype frequencies of four VDR polymorphisms, FokI (rs2228570), BsmI (rs1544410), ApaI (rs7975232) and TaqI (rs731236) were studied using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in 240 patients with lung cancer and 280 healthy controls. The distribution of genotype frequencies differed significantly between lung cancer subjects and controls (FokI P adj = 0.002; ApaI P adj = 0.013). Haplotype analyses revealed a significant association between G-A-C and A-C-T haplotypes and lung cancer risk (P corr = 0.0128, P corr = 0.008). When patients were stratified according to gender, age, and smoking, significant associations were detected with FokI and TaqI polymorphisms. We found a lack of association between BsmI, TaqI polymorphisms and lung cancer risk (P > 0.05). Only, the attributable proportion due to interaction and the synergic index for interaction between ApaI polymorphism and smoking were statistically significant (P adj = 0.74, 95 % CI = 0.38–1.20) and (P adj = 0.63, 95 % CI = 0.05–1.21), respectively. Both the additive interaction measures suggested the existence of a biological interaction between SNP ApaI, but not FokI, and smoking. The multiplicative interaction measure was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). This is the first study in Tunisia, which suggested that VDR FokI and ApaI polymorphisms might be risk factors for lung cancer development. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 so far is identified as extremely large and complicated MMP family member. Recently, dozens of studies have explored the association between a promoter polymorphism (?1562 C>T) in MMP-9 and stroke susceptibility. However, the conclusions of these studies still remain equivocal. Therefore, our current meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether or not the MMP-9 promoter polymorphism is related to the risk of stroke. Electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database) were searched to obtain all the available studies investigating this polymorphism and stroke from inception to October 2013. Overall and subgroup analyses were rigorously conducted after data extraction. Pooled odds ratio (OR) corresponding to 95 % confidence interval (CI) were estimated. The statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.2. Totally, seven studies involving 1,624 cases and 1,525 controls were identified. The overall results suggested that there was no association of the C?1562T variant on stroke risk under the T allele versus C allele [OR T vs. C 0.98, 95 % CI (0.84, 1.15), P = 0.84], the dominant model [OR TT+TC vs. CC 0.95, 95 % CI (0.81, 1.13), P = 0.59], the recessive model [OR TT vs. TC+CC 1.55, 95 % CI (0.86, 2.81), P = 0.15], the homozygote comparison [OR TT vs. CC 1.48, 95 % CI (0.82, 2.68), P = 0.20] and the heterozygote comparison [OR TC vs. CC 0.93, 95 % CI (0.78, 1.10), P = 0.38]. In the subgroup analyses by ethnicity, age, stroke type and source of controls, no significant relations were observed in any genetic models. Our results indicated that MMP-9?1562 C>T polymorphism was not a risk factor for stroke. Further studies should focus on gene–gene and gene–environment interactions, and provide a more convincing explanation for this association. 相似文献

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], a low-density lipoprotein-like particle, is recognized as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetic vascular diseases. Our recent studies revealed that the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARα/δ/γ) gene are involved in the regulation of lipid storage and metabolism. In order to investigate the relationships between the SNPs of PPARα/γ gene and plasma levels of Lp(a), 644 participants were randomly selected from Chinese Han population in the present study. As the results shown, Lp(a) was significantly associated with L162V (rs1800206) in PPARα. Compared with those subjects with widetype (LL), significantly higher Lp(a) concentration was determined in the individuals with mutant (LV + VV) (mean difference: 49.07 mg/l, 95 % CI 23.32–74.82 mg/l, p = 0.0002). Moreover, with generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis, our present results indicated that there was a significant association between plasma Lp(a) level and gene–gene interaction among the polymorphisms rs1800206, rs135539 in PPARα and rs10865710, rs1805192, and rs4684847 in PPARγ. Therefore, our presented study indicated that PPARα/γ polymorphisms should be involved in the regulation of plasma Lp(a) in independently and/or in an interactive manner, suggesting that PPARα/γ gene may influence the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and dyslipidemia by regulating Lp(a) level. 相似文献

Recent studies have suggested that calpain-10 (CAPN10) gene polymorphisms play a role in the susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible association between three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CAPN10 gene: UCSNP-43 (rs3792267), UCSNP-19 (rs3842570), and UCSNP-63 (rs5030952) and PCOS in Tunisian cases and control women. Study subjects included 127 women with PCOS (mean age 29.8 ± 4.7 year) and 150 healthy women (mean age 33.5 ± 5.6 year). CAPN10 genotyping was carried-out by direct PCR and PCR–RFLP. Linkage disequilibrium pattern in the genomic region explored was determined by HAPLOVIEW 4.2 while reconstruction of haplotypes was done using PHASE 2.1. The phylogenetic distribution of haplotypes in the population was determined by ARLEQUIN 2.000. Six haplotypes were observed. None of SNPs associated with PCOS or its components while the haplotype H4 associated with the phenotype PCOS-obese (P < 0.025). Moreover the pair of haplotypes H1/H4 strongly associated with high blood-pressure (OR = 14.4, P < 0.012). This work confirms the association of CAPN10 gene with metabolic components in PCOS and highlights the role of haplotypes as strong and efficient genetic markers. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNA (miRNA)-binding sites in the integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) gene and integrin beta-3 (ITGB3) gene 3′-untranslated regions, and colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility in a Chinese population. A hospital-based case–control study was performed in 200 patients with CRC and 200 matched healthy donors. Two SNPs in miRNA binding of ITGB1 and ITGB3 genes (rs17468 and rs2317676) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restrict fragment length polymorphism assay. The association between genotypes and CRC risk was evaluated by computing the odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) from multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses. The frequency of the T genotype in ITGB1 rs17468 and G genotype in ITGB3 rs2317676 occurred more frequently in CRC patients than in controls (P < 0.05). We found that CT and TT genotypes of rs17468 were associated with a significantly increased risk of CRC (OR = 1.67, 95 % CI = 1.090–2.559 for CT + TT vs. CC), also the AG and GG genotype in ITGB3 rs2317676 (OR = 1.65, 95 % CI = 1.114–2.458 for AG + GG vs. AA). In conclusion, our results showed that both the ITGB1 rs17468 SNP and ITGB3 rs2317676 SNP were associated with an increased risk of CRC, which suggests that these 2 SNPs might contribute to CRC risk in a Chinese population. 相似文献

A Pilot Study on the Contribution of Folate Gene Variants in the Cognitive Function of ADHD Probands
Genetic abnormalities in components important for the folate cycle confer risk for various disorders since adequate folate turnover is necessary for normal methylation, gene expression and chromosome structure. However, the system has rarely been studied in children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We hypothesized that ADHD related cognitive deficit could be attributed to abnormalities in the folate cycle and explored functional single nucleotide polymorphisms in methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (rs2236225), reduced folate carrier (rs1051266), and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (rs1801131 and rs1801133) in families with ADHD probands (N = 185) and ethnically matched controls (N = 216) recruited following the DSM-IV. After obtaining informed written consent for participation, peripheral blood was collected for genomic DNA isolation and PCR-based analysis of target sites. Data obtained was analyzed by UNPHASED. Interaction between sites was analyzed by the multi dimensionality reduction (MDR) program. Genotypic frequencies of the Indian population were strikingly different from other ethnic groups. rs1801133 “T” allele showed biased transmission in female probands (p < 0.05). Significant difference in genotypic frequencies for female probands was also noticed. rs1801131 and rs1801133 showed an association with low intelligence quotient (IQ). MDR analysis exhibited independent effects and contribution of these sites to IQ, thus indicating a role of these genes in ADHD related cognitive deficit. 相似文献

Kawasaki disease is a pediatric systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology, for which a genetic influence is suspected. But whether single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of caspase-3 rs72689236 is associated with Kawasaki disease is controversial. The aim of our study is to assess the association between the SNP of caspase-3 and risk for Kawasaki disease. We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Springer, Elsevier Science Direct, Cochrane Library Google scholar, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, in Chinese) and Wanfang database (in Chinese) to identify studies investigating the association between rs72689236 polymorphism and Kawasaki disease occurrence. There were five eligible studies, which included 4,241 (case group 1,560; control group 2,681) participants in this meta-analysis. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) were calculated in a fixed-effects model (the Mantel–Haenszel method) or a random-effects model (the DerSimonian and Laird method) when appropriate. Significant associations were found under the overall ORs for A-allele comparison (A vs. G, pooled OR 1.33, 95 % CI 1.21–1.46), AA versus GG comparison (pooled OR 1.64, 95 % CI 1.35–2.00), GA versus GG comparison (pooled OR 1.42, 95 % CI 1.24–1.63), recessive model (AA vs. GG + GA, pooled OR 1.37, 95 % CI 1.15–1.64) and dominant model (AA + GA vs. GG, pooled OR 1.47, 95 % CI 1.29–1.67). This meta-analysis suggested that SNP rs72689236 of caspase-3 might be associated with susceptibility of Kawasaki disease and the allele A might increase the risk of Kawasaki disease in Asian samples such as Japanese and Chinese. In addition, individual studies with large sample size are needed to further evaluate the associations in various ethnic populations. 相似文献

We investigated changes in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and interleukin (IL)-6 levels in pediatric patients with central nervous system (CNS) infections, particularly viral infection-induced encephalopathy. Over a 5-year study period, 24 children hospitalized with encephalopathy were grouped based on their acute encephalopathy type (the excitotoxicity, cytokine storm, and metabolic error types). Children without CNS infections served as controls. In serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples, BDNF and IL-6 levels were increased in all encephalopathy groups, and significant increases were noted in the influenza-associated and cytokine storm encephalopathy groups. Children with sequelae showed higher BDNF and IL-6 levels than those without sequelae. In pediatric patients, changes in serum and CSF BDNF and IL-6 levels may serve as a prognostic index of CNS infections, particularly for the diagnosis of encephalopathy and differentiation of encephalopathy types. 相似文献

This meta-analysis was performed to assess the relationships between the PON1 Q192R (rs662 T>C) polymorphism and the clinical outcome of antiplatelet treatment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A range of electronic databases were searched: Web of Science (1945–2013), the Cochrane Library Database (Issue 12, 2013), PubMed (1966–2013), EMBASE (1980–2013), CINAHL (1982–2013) and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) (1982–2013) without language restrictions. Meta-analysis was conducted using the STATA 12.0 software. The crude odds ratio (OR) with their 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Six clinical cohort studies with a total number of 5,189 patients undergoing PCI for coronary heart disease were included. Our meta-analysis revealed that the PON1 Q192R polymorphism was correlated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients receiving antiplatelet treatment after PCI (C allele vs. T allele: OR = 1.22, 95 % CI 1.04–1.43, P = 0.014; CT+CC vs. TT: OR = 1.38, 95 % CI 1.03–1.86, P = 0.029; CC vs. TT: OR = 1.45, 95 % CI 1.05–1.99, P = 0.024; respectively), especially among Asians. Furthermore, we found significantly positive correlations between the PON1 Q192R polymorphism and the incidence of stent thrombosis in patients receiving antiplatelet treatment after PCI (C allele vs. T allele: OR = 1.42, 95 % CI 1.08–1.87, P = 0.011; CT+CC vs. TT: OR = 1.93, 95 % CI 1.01–3.67, P = 0.046; CC vs. TT: OR = 2.18, 95 % CI 1.09–4.35, P = 0.027; respectively). Our meta-analysis of clinical cohort studies provides evidence that the PON1 Q192R polymorphism may increase the risk of MACE and stent thrombosis in patients receiving antiplatelet treatment after PCI. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to investigate the association between SNP polymorphisms of endothelin-1 (EDN1) and endothelin receptor (EDNRA and EDNRB) gene and ischemic stroke (IS) in the Chinese Han population in northern. A case–control study was introduced. We genotyped eight SNPs (rs1800541, rs2070699, and rs5370 in EDN1 gene; rs1801708, rs5333, and rs5335 in EDNRA gene; and rs3818416 and rs5351 in EDNRB gene) and calculated their polymorphic distribution in control group, IS group, and the IS subgroups. In male population, EDN1 gene rs2070699 G allele increased the incidence risk to 1.78 times (P = 0.009; OR 1.78; 95 % CI 1.15–2.75) and the risk of morbidity of rs5370 T allele carrying increased to 1.49 times (P = 0.048; OR 1.49; 95 % CI 1.00–2.21). EDNRA gene mutation rs5335 homozygous CC morbidity risk was significantly lower (P = 0.016; OR 0.52; 95 % CI 0.31–0.88). In the female population, the mutant homozygous AA cancer risk was significantly higher than G allele carriers (P = 0.019; OR 2.65; 95 % CI 1.18–6.00) on EDNRA gene rs1801708. In EDN1 gene, T allele of rs5370 and G allele of rs2070699 may be IS incidence risk factors in Northern Han male population. A allele of rs1801708 in EDNRA gene can increase the risk of IS in Northern Han women population. 相似文献

Sorafenib in combination with Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is increasingly used in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the current evidence is still controversial. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TACE plus sorafenib versus TACE alone for unresectable HCC. We searched PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library for clinical trials comparing TACE plus sorafenib with TACE alone for unresectable HCC. The study outcomes included overall survival (OS), time to progression (TTP), objective response and adverse events (AEs). Six studies including 1,181 patients were included. Meta-analysis of all studies suggested that the combination therapy group had significant longer OS than TACE group [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.64, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 0.43–0.97], but the pooled HR of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) failed to achieve statistical significance. For TTP, meta-analysis in both RCTs subgroup and retrospective studies subgroup suggested that combination therapy was superior to TACE group. The combination therapy was also associated with better response to treatment (risk ratio = 1.45, 95 % CI = 1.04–2.02) when both RCTs and retrospective studies were pooled. However, the sorafenib associated AEs were more frequent in the combination therapy group. In conclusion, the combination of TACE and sorafenib is likely to improve OS, TTP and response to treatment when compared with TACE monotherapy. The combination group is also associated with more sorafenib-related AEs. 相似文献

The knowledge of molecular mechanism that underlies the genetic predisposition to lung cancer is yet limited. Results from previous studies addressing the association of AGPHD1 variant rs8034191 with lung carcinogenesis remain inconclusive. Herein, we combined these data and re-examined the association. We performed a meta-analysis of Asian studies identified through various ways. Using the data collected from each eligible study, we combined the effect estimates (ORs and its 95 % CIs) with the fixed effects model (Mantel–Haenszel method). Statistical analyses were done using STATA software. Data from nine studies (29,290 subjects) carried out in Asian populations were analyzed in this work. There was no overall association between variant rs8034191 and lung cancer risk under the allele frequency model (OR = 1.03, 95 % CI = 0.93–1.13, Pheterogeneity = 0.522). We observed the same associations under other genetic models and in the subgroup analyses by ethnicity and smoking status. Our results indicate that variant rs8034191 in the AGPHD1 gene may not modify the genetic risk of lung cancer in Asian populations. 相似文献

As the world races towards a plant-based bioeconomy, plants known to be ideal and economical bioreactors are being harnessed for the production of recombinant proteins. The major immunodominant 10 kDa GroES TB antigen (Chaperonin 10) gene from Mycobacterium tuberculosis was selected for expression in plants as a putative tuberculosis (TB) subunit vaccine candidate. Two crops, tobacco and potato, were engineered by stable plant transformation for expression of the 10 kDa GroES TB antigen using non-viral binary vectors. The integration of the GroES TB gene into the genomes of tobacco and potato was confirmed by PCR and Southern blotting. The expression of the GroES TB antigen in tobacco was 0.04–1.2 % of the total soluble protein (TSP). However, the expression of the same TB antigen in the Indian potato cv. Kufri bahar was comparatively low (0.033 % of TSP). The recombinant GroES plant derived protein was characterised and confirmed by MALDI-TOF–TOF and ELISA. This is the first report of the expression of the 10 kDa chaperonin in tobacco and potato. 相似文献

The association of the rs1042522, rs17878362, and rs1625895 polymorphisms of TP53 with risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) has not been studied in full detail. NHL has many variants, and each individual polymorphism exerts only a minor effect, requiring the polymorphisms to be studied for particular histological subtypes of lymophomas and as components of haplotype groups. The objective of this work was to analyze the frequencies and linkage disequilibrium for rs1042522, rs1625895, and rs17878362 and their combined haplotype in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and control subjects. Differences in linkage disequilibrium structure were observed for rs17878362, rs1042522, and rs1625895 in the Siberian population. The haplotype proved to be more informative than the individual TP53 polymorphisms in a case-control association analysis in DLBCL. Haplotype wArgG was associated with predisposition to DLBCL, while haplotypes wProG and dupProG were found to exert a protective effect. The effect of the haplotype at three TP53 polymorphisms was observed to vary depending on their homozygous or heterozygous state. 相似文献

N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) has been proposed as a tumor suppressor gene in many different types of tumors, but its potential function and corresponding mechanism are not yet fully elucidated. This study aims to detect the possible function of NDRG1 in gastric cancer progression. In this study, 112 paired gastric cancer tissues and corresponding nonmalignant gastric tissues were utilized to identify the differential protein expression of NDRG1 by immunohistochemistry and its clinical significance was analyzed. Furthermore, 49 of 112 paired gastric specimens were used to detect the differential mRNA expression by real-time PCR. The over expression of NDRG1 in human gastric cancer cell line AGS by PcDNA3.1–NDRG1 transfection was utilized to detect the role of NDRG1 in regulating the biological behavior of gastric cancer. NDRG1 expression was significantly decreased in primary gastric cancer tissues, compared with its corresponding nonmalignant gastric tissues (p < 0.05), and its decreased expression was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.01), invasion depth (p < 0.01) and differentiation (p < 0.05). Additionally, the overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients with high expression of NDRG1 was higher than those with low expression during the follow-up period. NDRG1 overexpression suppressed cells proliferation, invasion and induced a G1 cell cycle arrest in gastric cancer. Furthermore, the down-regulation of NDRG1 in gastric cancer metastatic progression was correlated to E-cadherin and MMP-9. Our results verify that NDRG1 acts as a tumor suppressor gene and may play an important role in the metastasis progression and prognosis of gastric cancer. 相似文献
