Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 rs671 genetic polymorphisms are associated with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the correlation between aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphisms and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).@*METHODS@#A total of 90 Chinese patients with malignant tumors receiving chemotherapy for the first time were recruited in this study. The occurrence of CINV was observed within 120 h after treatment with docetaxel and cis-platinum chemotherapy (DP regimen). The data of the patients (including age, gender, tumor stage, habitual alcohol consumption, motion sickness, morning sickness, and average sleep time prior to chemotherapy) were collected through a questionnaire. ALDH2 rs671 polymorphisms of the patients were analyzed using a multiple single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, and the Hardy-Weinberg equation was used for genetic linkage analysis. The correlations between the factors including ALDH2 rs671 polymorphisms and the occurrence of CINV were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The incidence of CINV was 48.9% among the patients receiving their first chemotherapy with DP regimen. Univariate analysis indicated that the genetic polymorphisms of ALDH2 rs671 were significantly correlated with the occurrence of CINV (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that ALDH2 rs671 mutation (OR: 3.019, 95% CI: 1.056-8.628, P < 0.05) and average sleep time prior to chemotherapy no longer than 6 h (OR: 2.807, 95% CI: 1.033-7.628, P < 0.05) were risk factors for CINV in patients with malignant tumors receiving the first chemotherapy with DP regimen.@*CONCLUSION@#ALDH2 gene mutation at rs671 is a risk factor contributing to the occurrence of CINV, and understanding of the underlying mechanism may help to more effectively control the occurrence of CINV.

The research on the change of chemosensitivity of geiftinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cell caused byEGFR-T790M mutation / 中国癌症杂志

Background and purpose:Chemotherapy is an alternative treatment option, which could still get a therapeutic effect, when the EGFR-TKI treatment of non-small cell lung cancer failed. Studies have shown that RR, TYMS, ERCC1 and TUBB3 have respectively relationship with chemosensitivity of gemcitabine, pemetrexed, platinum-based drugs and microtubule-based chemotherapy drugs.The expression levels of these molecular markers can predict the sensitivity of these chemotherapy drugs. The patients with RRMI, TS, ERCC1 and TUBB3 higher expression have reduced chemosensitivity, and lower expression have increased sensitivity. The purpose of this study was to explore the sensitivity of tumor cell lines with acquired resistance to geiftinib caused byEGFR-T790M mutation to cisplatin, gemcitabine, pemetrexed, vinorelbine, paclitaxel and docetaxel.Methods:MTT assay was used to detect the IC50 values of cisplatin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel and docetaxel, pemetrexed to PC9 and PC9/GR cells, and to explore the chemosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma cells to these chemotherapy drugs; Luminex method was used respectively to detect the expression levels of ERCC1 mRNA, TUBB3 mRNA, TS mRNA, and RRM1 mRNA in PC9 and PC9/GR cells. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of ERCC1, TUBB3, TS and RRM1 in PC9 and PC9/GR cells.Results: The IC50 values of cisplatin, gemcitabine and pemetrexed to PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly higher than those to PC9 cells (P<0.05), while the IC50 values of vinorelbine, paclitaxe and docetaxel to PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Luminex method showed the expressions of ERCC1 mRNA, TS mRNA and RRM1 mRNA in PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly increased than those in PC9 cells (P<0.05), while the expression of TUBB3 mRNA was signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Western blot method showed the expressions of TUBB3, TS and RRM1 protein in PC9/GR cells were signiifcantly increased than those in PC9 cells (P<0.05), while TUBB3 protein expression in PC9/GR cells was signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Western blot method analysis result showed that the expressions of TUBB3, TS and RRM1 protein in PC9/GR cells were significantly increased than those in PC9 cells (P<0.05), while TUBB3 protein expression in PC9/GR cells was signiifcantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion:The chemosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR-T790M mutation is changed. It has decreased sensitivity to cisplatin, gemcitabine, pemetrexed and increased sensitivity to vinorelbine, paclitaxel and docetaxel. The reason of the change of chemosensitivity of geiftinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cell maybe related to the changes of ERCC1 mRNA, RRM1 mRNA and TS mRNA and their protein expressions.
