Analiza częstości występowania polimorfizmu C421A genu ABCG2 w przypadkach raków żołądka w regionie łódzkim

Abstract
Introduction: In the present thesis the association between the variants of C421A polymorphism of ABCG2 gene and the risk of gastric cancer development were searched. The occurrence of polymorphic variant 421 C > A leads to the weakening of the activity of BCRP protein which is encoded by the ABCG2 gene. Due to the presence of BCRP protein in the gastrointestinal tract and its protective role the reduction of the amount of BCRP protein which is the result of the tested polymorphism may lead to the increased predisposition to cancer development. The main aim of this study was to compare the frequency of C421A polymorphism genotypes between the examined and the control groups. Material and methods: The material for the research consisted of DNA isolated from 19 scraps of the tumor tissue taken from patients with gastric cancer and 44 samples of peripheral blood collected from healthy individuals. DNA was extracted from the tested materials by microcolumn-method. Then the obtained samples of DNA were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the ABCG2 gene fragment. To determine C421A polymorphism genotypes ABCG2 gene fragments amplified by PCR the were analyzed by RFLP method using an digestive enzyme MseI. Results: All the examined patients irrespectively of gender, age and clinical stage showed the presence of genotype C/C, which is homozygous wild for C421A polymorphism. All 44 persons from the control group also showed the presence of genotype C/C. Conclusions: No differences in the occurrence of C421A genotypes between the study group and the control group were found. In both the groups 100% of the results for the C/C genotype were obtained. Due to the presence of only one genotype (C/C) for the C421A polymorphism in all the patients no relationship between the occurrence of C421A genotypes and tumor stage, age and gender of the examined patients was evaluated. Although no correlation between the C421A polymorphism and the susceptibility to the development of gastric cancer was found the exclusion of the participation of BCRP protein in the pathogenesis of this disease is possible only after the increase of the number of analyses on larger groups of respondents.
