Influence of ABCB1 gene polymorphisms on breast cancer with paclitaxel-based chemotherapy / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To detect gene polymorphisms of ABCB1/MDR1 in breast cancer and to analyze the association between ABCB1 gene polymorphisms and curative effect of paclitaxel-based chemotherapy in breast cancer.Methods Genotyping of ABCB1exon12 (1236),exon21 (2677)and exon26 (3435)was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-high resolution melting (HRM)method in 146 cases of female stage IV breast cancer to explore the relationship between the efficacy of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients with paclitaxel chemotherapy.Results In 146 patients with stage IV breast cancer,C1236T CC genotype accounted for 15.86%, CT genotype 44.83%,TT genotype 44.83%,G2677T/A GG genotype 16.67%,GT genotype 45.83%,GA genotype 6.25%,TT genotype 28.47%,AT genotype 2.78%,C3435 CC genotype 22.22%,CT genotype 56.25%,and TT genotype 21.53%.ABCB1 gene polymorphisms did not significantly differ between patients of Hui and Han Nationalities (P>0 .0 5 ).Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium testing showed that polymorphisms of C1236T,G2677T/A and C3435T had group representation (P>0.05).In 146 stage IV breast cancer patients who had received paclitaxel-based chemotherapy,CT/TT genotype of C3435T site had a better response rate (74.11%) (χ2 =12.556,P<0.05),better curative effect than CC genotype (OR=4.183,95% CI 1.838 -9.521,P<0.05),T allele carriers more efficient than C allele carriers with paclitaxel-based chemotherapy (χ2 =8 .5 0 7 ,P<0 .0 5 ). Conclusion Detection of ABCB1 C3435T gene polymorphisms has a significantly clinical value in predicting the efficacy of taxanes chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
