Objective:To evaluate the relation between the single nucleotide polymorphism of CYP2D6 gene G4268C and the genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. Methods: A case-control study was conducted among 118 lung cancer patients and 118 control subjects (matched for sex, age) to investigate the role of CYP2D6 gene G4268C polymorphism in lung cancer; PCR-RFLP was used to identify the genotypes of polymorphism. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. Results: The frequency of G4268→C mutation in case and control group were 69.49% and 75.00%, respectively. Non-C4268/C genotype (including G4268/G and G4268/C genotype) was correlated to the high risk of lung cancer, with OR adjusted by gender, age and smoking being 1.80 (95% CI=1.06-3.06), especially to lung adenocarcinoma (OR being 2.95 95% CI=1.39-6.23). After stratified analysis of smoking history and adjusting by gender and age, it was revealed that non-C4268/C genotype was associated with significantly increased risk of lung cancer in non-smokers and light-smokers group, with OR=2.12 (95% CI=1.03-4.36) and OR=3.75 (95% CI=1.15-12.22), respectively. Conclusion: C4268/C genotype may be a protective factor in lung adenocarcinoma patients and may decrease the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers and light-smorkers.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression and clinical significance of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac-1) protein and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in breast cancer and their relationship with tumor stage, node metastasis status and hormone receptor status. MethodsImmunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α protein in 139 specimens of breast cancer,combined with their clinical pathological characteristics and hormone receptor status for statistical analysis.Results The expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α in breast cancer tissue were 64.75 % and 65.47 %,respectively.The levels were related with the stage of TNM and histological grade (P < 0.05,P < 0.01).There was no significant correlation between these two proteins'expression and the age of patient,primary pathological location, histologic type and menstruation status of breast cancer patients(P > 0.05). The expression of Rac-1 and HIF-1α had no statistical significance between triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)and non-triple negative breast cancer (NTNBC) patients (x2 =1.1229,x2 =0.1786,P > 0.05); The expression level of Rac-1 was positively correlated with HIF-1α in these breast cancer specimens (rs =0.414,P < 0.01).ConclusionThe expression of Rac-1 is positively correlated with HIF-1α level in breast cancer.The relationship between Rac-1 and HIF-1α might be as a new important marker to estimate the invasion,metastasis extent and prognosis in breast cancer.Blocking the regulation between Rac-1 and HIF-1α might be a new treatment target in breast cancer.
