Objective To investigate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of ERCC1,XRCC1 and survival of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) treated with platinum based chemotherapy . Methods A total of 120 patients with advanced NSCLC were routinely treated by cisplatin or carboplatin based chemotherapy, The polymorphic genotypes were analyzed by gene-chip method using DNA samples isolated from peripheral blood before treatment. Besides, 10% samples were extracted randomly for sequencing to test the accuracy of this method. To explored the association between SNP of ERCC1(118),XRCC1(399) and prognosis to platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients.Results Homozygous wild type, heterozygote type and homozygous mutant type yielded green, yellow and red fluorescence, respectively.the results were according to gene sequencing.Median follow-up period Was 11 months. MST,1-year survival,2-year survival and 3-year survival rates of patients with the ERCC1(118)C/C genotype、C/T+T/T genotype were 10.9months,35.9%,6.3% and 1.6% vs 13.5months,59.5%,19.0% and 14.3% respectively, with significant difference(p<0.05). MST and 1-year survival , 2-year survival and 3-year survival rates of patients with the XRCC1(399) G/G genotype and G/A+A/A genotype were 15.2 months and 59.1%,15.9%、6.8% vs 11.1 months, 35.5%,8.1%,6.5% respectively, with significant difference(p<0.05).Conclusion The DNA microarray-based method is accurate, high-throughput and inexpensive, suitable for SNP genotyping in a large number of individuals .Polymorphisms of ERCC1、XRCC1 mlight be associated with overall survival period in patients with advanced NSCLC after treatment with platin-based chemotherapy, which might be the predictive markers for overall survival. |
