The role of polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers in SNP genotyping of DNA base excision repair genes / 重庆医学

Objective It is important to precisely determinate the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in many genes in‐cluding genes related with base excision repair (BER) pathway .This research is conducted to evaluate the role of polymerase chain reaction with confronting two‐pair primers (PCR‐CTPP) in analyzing the SNPs of BER pathway .Methods Four common SNPs of BER pathway (OGG1 Ser326Cys ,XRCC1 Arg399Gln ,APE1 Asp148Glu and‐141T/G in the promoter region) was detected with PCR‐CTPP .10 of the products were sent for genotype sequencing .Compare the results of PCR and sequencing to evaluate the accu‐racy of PCR‐CTPP .Results The genotypes were exactly the same as the sequencing .Conclusion The PCR‐CTPP was a reliable and rapid detective technology for SNPs genotyping .Its broadest application would be great help for gene variant analysis .

Expression characteristics of chemotherapeutic related genes in non-small cell lung cancer / 重庆医学

Objective To analyze the expression characteristics of chemotherapeutic related genes (ERCC1 ,BRCA1 ,APE1 , RRM1 ,TUBB3 and TS) in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and their associations with the pathological types to provide the ex-perimental evidences for clinical individual chemotherapy .Methods The immunohistochemical SP method was used to determine the expression of ERCC1 ,BRCA1 ,APE1 ,RRM1 ,TUBB3 and TS genes in 733 patients with NSCLC .Chi-square test was performed to analyze the gene expression characteristics among different pathological types .Spearman relationship was conducted to evaluate the associations among the six genes and different pathological types .Results The expression of BRCA1 ,TUBB3 and TS had sta-tistical differences among three pathological types (P<0 .01);and these three genes showed a relationship with the pathological type (r=0 .107 ,-0 .229 and 0 .168 ,respectively ,P<0 .01) .ERCC1 vs .BRCA1 ,ERCC1 vs .APE1 and APE1 vs .RRM1 showed the pos-itive correlation(r=0 .214 ,0 .316 and 0 .222 ,respectively ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion The chemotherapeutic related gene expressions of NSCLC are related with the clinical pathological types .And the expressions of multiple markers are associated with each other .The combined detection of the chemotherapeutic related markers and the pathological types would be helpful to the decision making of individual chemotherapy in clinic .
