Objective To investigate the effect of CDH1 3'-UTR + 54C/T single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) on expression of luciferase reporter gene and its association with susceptibility to cervical cancer. Methods The luciferase gene expression vectors containing CDH1 3'-UTR +54C/T SNP C or T allelotype were constructed. The effect of CDH1 3'-UTR + 54C/T SNP on expression of luciferase reporter gene in 293 T cells were tested by daul lucfferase reporter assay system. The CDH1 3'-UTR + 54C/ T SNP was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in 280 cervical cancer patients and 330 healthy controls. Results The lucfferase activity analysis showed that the relative luciferase activity (RLA) of 293T cells with C allelotype was 1.46, which was significantly lower than that of the 293 T cells with T allelotype (3.01; t=2. 94, P =0. 042). There was no significant difference in age distribution between the cervical cancer patients and the healthy controls. The genotype frequency distribution of CDH1 3 '-UTR + 54C/T SNP in healthy controls did not significantly differ from that expected by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). The C allelotype frequency of CDH1 in cervical cancer patients was 80. 7%, which was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (74. 5%;χ2 =6.59, P=0.010). The T/T, T/C and C/C genotype frequencies of cervical cancer patients and healthy controls were 4. 3%, 30. 0%, 65. 7% and 5. 8%, 39. 4%, 54. 8%, respectively, which were significandy different (χ2=7.45, P =0.024). Compared with individuals with T/T or T/C genotypa, individuals with C/C genotype had significantly higher risks of developing cervical cancer (OR = 1. 578,95%CI=1.136 -2.191). Conclusion The C allelotypa of CDH1 3'-UTR + 54C/T SNP might decrease the expression of lucfferase reporter gene and the C/C genotypa might be a potential risk for cervical cancer development.
