目的分析结直肠癌患者脑苷酸合成酶(TS)基因多态性,以期能为结直肠癌的个体化治疗提供指导。方法采用PCR测序的方法分析252例结直肠癌患者TS基因多态性。结果共检测了252例结直肠癌患者,其中男137例、女115例。男性患者TS基因型主要为3RG/3RC(36.50%),其次是2RC/3RC和3RG/3RG(各占18.25%)。女性患者基因型也主要是3RG/3RC(36.52%),其次是3RG/3RG(26.09%)。28例年轻患者中,基因型主要为3RG/3RC(42.86%),其次是2RC/3RG(21.43%);84例中年患者中,基因型主要为3RG/3RC(45.24%),其次是2RC/3RC(16.67%);115例老年患者中,基因型主要为3RG/3RC(36.52%),其次是2RC/3RG(16.52%)。结论结直肠癌患者TS基因多态性检测中发现的主要基因型为3RG/3RC。

结直肠癌; 胸苷酸合成酶; 基因多态性

结直肠癌是常见的高危害消化道恶性肿瘤,发生率仅次于胃癌和食道癌。全球每年新发病例超过100万,年死亡数超过50万。中国每年新发病例已超过17万,死亡近10万。近二十年来结直肠癌的发病率在逐渐增加,同时,其发病年龄正趋向老龄化。一般而言,结直肠癌多在60~70岁发病,50岁以下的患者所占比例不到20%。中国患者的发病年龄多在40~60岁,中位发病年龄比欧美约提前10年,高峰在50岁左右,但30岁以下的结直肠癌患者也比欧美多见[1-3]。胸苷酸合成酶(TS)参与DNA的合成,5-氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)主要通过抑制TS而发挥抗肿瘤的作用。TS基因多态性造成TS蛋白表达和功能的差异,影响5-FU化疗有效性。TS基因启动增强子区5′端的一个28bp的序列可发生2~3次的重复(2R/3R)多态性,影响TS基因的转录水平。3R将导致TS基因表达增加,TS活性提高。2R纯合子和2R/3R杂合子有临床生存期的显著提高,而3R纯合子无生存获益[4]。在3R/3R情况下,如果第二个重复中的第12个碱基同时存在G>C的多态性,将使TS表达量降低至2R水平[5],5-FU的疗效较好[6]。本研究采用PCR-测序法研究了252例中国人结直肠癌肿瘤血液标本中TS的基因多态性,同时比较了不同性别和年龄群体中TS基因突变频率的差异,以期能为5-氟尿嘧啶的使用提供参考依据。

3 讨 论

TS催化dUMP转变成dTMP,它是胸苷酸唯一的从头合成途径[7]。TS*3R基因多态性在不同种族中的分布频率存在差异,肯尼亚人是49%,高加索人是55%,中国人是82%[8],土耳其人是58%[9]。有文献报道了在3′UTR发现了另外一个多态性TS 1494del6位点[10],这个多态性在美国白人中的分布频率是71%,在中国华北和华南的分布频率分别是32.0%和30.9%[11]。基因多态性存在种族差异,可能是由于遗传和生存环境的不同造成的。最新的研究表明,相比较于3R基因型,2R基因型个体更容易罹患结直肠癌,而TS 1494del6则没有影响[12]。Zhou等[13]的Meta分析也支持这一个观点,2R/2R基因型的亚洲人更容易罹患癌症,而对于高加索人来讲,这种基因型反而有保护作用。有研究发现,TS 1494del6会导致TS mRNA表达水平的减少,这个多态性可能和mRNA的稳定性和翻译有关[14-15],携带ins 6bp/ins 6bp基因型患者TS mRNA表达水平是纯合删除基因型(del 6bp/del 6bp)的4倍,而杂合基因型(del 6bp/ins 6bp)则位于中间。

Thomas等[16]在高加索人TS的第一个重复中发现了一个稀有的单核苷酸多态性(SNP),这个SNP在非裔美国人亚洲人中都没有被发现,它和TS的关系需要更多的研究来证明。他们还在3RC等位基因中发现了6bp的插入,在高加索人和非裔美国人中的频率分别是0.4%和1.3%,这个多态性最早是在日本人中发现的,出现频率是0.6%[17],至于6bp的插入对TS功能的影响目前还不清楚。

TS是广泛使用的化疗药5-FU的靶点。5-FU治疗的致死率是0.5%,引发3-4级毒性副反应的概率是20%~30%[18-22]。对这个药物相关的一些基因如TS多态性进行分析被认为可以有效地预测不良反应和治疗结果,Lecomte等[23]研究发现,2R/2R、2R/3R、3R/3R基因型患者发生3~4级毒性反应的概率分别是43%、18%、3%,单倍型2R/ins 6bp患者有严重的不良反应。因此,TS基因型有可能可以作为基于5-FU化疗不良反应预测的指标,从而指导医生个体化用药。也有研究认为TS的基因多态性并不能预测5-FU治疗Ⅲ期结肠癌的疗效,然而,年龄会影响TS的基因多态性对生存的作用[24]。

叶酸是一个重要的微量营养素分子,参与DNA的合成、甲基化和修复。TS不仅在DNA复制和修复中提供需要的核苷酸方面发挥重要的作用,而且在叶酸代谢中也起着很重要的作用[8,10,25]。Trinh等[26]研究发现,TS 3R/3R基因型和血浆叶酸减少相关,而低叶酸水平则会增加罹患结直肠癌的风险[27-28]。
