Abstract:
Objective To investigate the interaction among human 8 - oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1), xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) gene polymorphism, and genetic susceptibility of gastric cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer.
Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from patients with gastric cancer (n = 98), liver cancer (n = 76), colorectal cancer (n = 95), and healthy controls (n = 80). DNA extraction kits were used for genomic DNA preparation. Genotyping was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). SPSS 16.0 was used for data processing.
Results The hOGG1 Cys326Cys genotype had an increased risk of gastric cancer (adjusted OR = 1.485, 95 % CI = 0.722 - 3.052), liver cancer (adjusted OR = 1.114, 95 % CI = 0.497 - 2.495), and colorectal cancer (adjusted OR = 1.940, 95 % CI = 0.879 - 4.280). Among alcohol drinkers, the hOGG1 326Cys allele carriers increase the risk of gastric cancer (38 %, P= 0.008) and liver cancer (30 %, P= 0.036). The XPDLys751Gln genotype had an increased risk of gastric cancer (adjusted OR = 2.150, 1.059 - 4.365), liver cancer (adjusted OR = 2.340, 0.755 - 7.253), and colorectal cancer (adjusted OR = 1.292, 1.028 - 2.542). Among alcohol drinkers, the XPD751Gln allele carriers increase the risk of gastric cancer (26 %, P= 0.027) and liver cancer (40 %, P= 0.005). Carriers of either hOGG1 326Cys or XPD 751Gln have a decreased risk of gastric cancer (24 %, P= 0.010) and increased risk of liver cancer (40 %, P= 0.003) and colorectal cancer (23 %, P= 0.016).
Conclusion The hOGG1 Cys326Cys and XPD Lys751Gln genotypes may be correlated with susceptibility to gastric cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal cancer. The hOGG1 326Cys and XPD751Gln alleles may contribute to the etiology of gastric cancer and liver cancer among alcohol drinkers in the Chinese population.
