摘要: 目的:探讨let-7基因多态与中国汉族人群头颈癌易感性的关联。方法:采用病例-对照研究设计,以经确诊的503例头颈部癌患者作为病例组,选取900例健康人群作为对照组。对病例-对照进行流行病学调查,内容包括:一般人口学特征、疾病史、肿瘤家族史、吸烟、饮酒情况,并进行体格检查。收集研究对象血液标本5 mL,提取基因组DNA。以let-7 rs10877887和rs13293512为研究位点,应用TaqMan探针方法进行多态性检测,并用logistic回归计算比值比(odds ratio,OR)及其95%可信区间(confidence interval,CI),比较不同基因型与头颈癌患病风险的关系。结果:rs10877887位点3种基因型TT、CT及CC在病例组分布频率分别为45.7%(227/503)、42.9%(213/503)及11.4%(57/503);在对照组中分别为40.8%(361/900)、47.7%(422/900)及11.5%(101/900)。rsl3293512位点3种基因型TT、CT及CC在病例组分布频率分别为31.9%(157/503)、52.3%(257/503)及15.8%(78/503),在对照组中分别为30.2%(270/900)、49.2%(439/900)及20.6%(194/900)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,携带rs10877887位点至少1个突变等位基因C的个体与携带TT基因型的个体相比,头颈部肿瘤患病风险差异无统计学意义(CC+CT/TT调整OR=0.82,95% CI:0.90~1.23,P=0.087);与携带TT+CT基因型个体相比较,携带rs13293512位点2个突变等位基因C的个体头颈部肿瘤患病风险显著降低(CC/TT+CT调整OR=0.73,95% CI:0.55~0.98,P=0.039)。结论:let-7基因多态rs13293512位点多态位点改变可影响中国汉族人群的罹患头颈癌的风险。

Abstract: Objective: To discuss the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in let-7 and genetic susceptibility to head and neck cancer (HNC) in Han Chinese. Methods: In this case-control study, 503 newly and histologically confirmed HNC patients were consecutively recruited as cases and 900 cancer-free controls were randomly selected as controls. Designed questionnaires were used to acquire patients’ information on demographic data and age, sex, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Approximate 5 ml of venous blood sample was collected from each subject for DNA extraction and genotyping. We used TaqMan allelic discrimination assay to genotype two polymorphisms of rs10877887 and rs13293512 in let-7. The associations of SNPs with HNC risks were estimated by computing the crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using logistic regression analyses. Results: The frequencies of genotype TT, CT and CC of rs10877887 were 45.7% (227/503), 42.9% (213/503) and 11.4% (57/503) in case group; while separately 40.8% (361/900), 47.7% (422/900) and 11.5% (101/900) in control group. The frequencies of genotype TT, CT and CC of rs13293512 were 31.9% (157/503), 52.3% (257/503) and 15.8% (78/503); while separately 30.2% (270/900), 49.2% (439/900) and 20.6% (194/900) in control group. Logistic regression analyses showed that there was no statistic significe in the relationship between rs10877887 and susceptibility to HNC (CC+CT/TT:adjusted OR=0.82, 95% CI: 0.90-1.23, P=0.087), while rs13293512 CC genotype significantly decreased susceptibility to HNC (CC/TT+CT:adjusted OR=0.73, 95% CI:0.55-0.98, P=0.039). Conclusions: The polymorphism of rs13293512 in let-7 may be a biomarker of susceptibility to HNC in Han Chinese.
