EXPRESSION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF C-erbB-2 IN THE TISSUES OF LUNG CANCER

The tyrosine kinase receptor C-erbB-2 (alsocalled HER-2/neu) is a member of the epidermalgrowth factor receptor (EGFR ) family. Memberproteins of this fami1y are membrane proteins andeach of which contains an intracellular domain, atransmembrane domain and an intracellular regionwith intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. C--erbB-2gene plsay an important role in the development ofcancer. Overexpression of C-erbB-2 can not onlyenhance the ability of the growth and metastaticpotential in cance…     

Genetic polymorphism of T6235C mutation in 3' non-coding region of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 genes and lung cancer susceptibility in the Mongolian population

Objective To estimate the relative risk for lung cancer associated with genetic polymorphism of T6235C mutation in 3' non-coding region (Msp Ⅰ) of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and glntathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) in the Mongolian population in Inner Mongolian Region of China. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and multiplex PCR methods were used to analyze blood samples obtained from 263 case subjects and 263 control subjects to determine their genotypes for CYP1A1 and GSTM1.Control subjects were matched with case subjects by ethnic background, age and gender. Results The frequencies of the variant CYP1A1 genotypes (CYP1A1C) and GSTM1-null in lung cancer groups were higher than those in control groups (38.4% vs. 28. 5% and 57.8% vs. 48.0%). The individuals who corried with CYP1A1C genotype had a significantly higher risk of lung cancer (OR=1.56, 95% CI=1.08 to 2.25, P=0.016) than those who carried with non-variation CYP1A1 genotype. The ones who carried with GSTM1-null genotype also had a significantly higher risk of lung cancer (OR=1.49, 95% CI=1.06 to 2.10, P=0.023) than these who carried with GSTM1-present genotype.When combination of polymorphisms of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 genotypes was analyzed, the risk of lung cancer for combination of CYP1A1C and GSTM1-null genotypes was increased significantly (OR=2.084, 95e CI=1.27 to 3.42, P=0.003). Susceptibility to lung cancer was related to smoking (OR=2.10, 95% CI=1.48 to 2.98, P=0.000). Considering smoking status, the risk of lung cancer for combination of smoking and CYP1A1C genotype was remarkably increased (OR=2.76, 950/0 CI=1.74 to 4. 37, P=0.000). It was the same case with combination of smoking and GSTM1-null genotype (OR=4. 38, 95% CI=2.35 to 8.15, P=0.000). Conclusion The polymorphisms of CYP1A1C genotype and GSTM1-null are the risk factors of lung cancer in the Mongolian population in Inner Mongolia Region of China. Smoking is also related to susceptibility to lung cancer. There may be a synergetic interaction between CYP1A1C and GSTM1-null in the elevated susceptibility of lung cancer. Smoking may have a synergetic interaction with CYP1A1C and GSTM1-null in the elevated susceptibility of lung cancer.

THE EVALUATION OF LUNG CANCER PREVENTION IN BAOJI CITY OF SHAANXI PROVINCE OF CHINA

Recently,the mortality of lung cancerincreasesin many areas and countries,and lung cancer is be-coming the major disease in malignant tumour re-search.Baoji city was found to be one of the citieswith high lung cancer incidence in China in early1 970 s[1] . Thereafter,intervention measures havebeen adopted,such as establishing the Environmen-tal Monitoring Station in Baoji to control the pollu-tion of land,water and air,a number of workshopsand propaganda in cancer prevention,smoking- con-tro…
