Abstract

To explore mRNA expression and clinical significance of ERCC1, BRCA1, RRM1, TYMS and TUBB3 genes in tumor tissue of postoperative patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sixty NSCLC patients undergoing radical operation in our hospital from Nov., 2011 to Jun., 2012 were selected. Plasmid standards of ERCC1, BRCA1, RRM1, TYMS and TUBB3 were established and standard curves were prepared by SYBR fluorescent real-time quantitative PCR analysis. Samples from tumor centers were taken to detect mRNA expression of ERCC1, BRCA1, RRM1, TYMS and TUBB3 genes in cancerous tissue during operation. The total mRNA expression quantities were compared according to different clinical characteristics. The total expression quantities of 5 genotypes from high to low were ERCC1>RRM1>TUBB3>TYMS>BRCA1 in turn. By pairwise comparisons, other differences showed statistical significance (p<0.05 or p<0.01) except for TYMS and TUBB3 (p>0.05); the low expression rates from high to low were ERCC1>TYMS>TUBB3>TUBB3>RRM1>BRCA1 in turn. The expression quantities of BRCA1, RRM1 and TYMS in males, smokers and patients without adenocarcinoma were all significantly higher than that in females, non-smokers and patients with adenocarcinoma, and significant differences were present (p<0.05 or p<0.01). In terms of pathological staging, the expression quantities of BRCA1, RRM1 and TYMS in phases IIa~IIb and IIIa~IIIb had a tendency to be greater than in phases I and IV. Resistance to chemotherapy and sensitivity to targeted therapy differ among patients with NSCLC. Differences in gene expression in different individuals were also revealed. Only according to personalized detection results can individualized therapeutic regimens be worked out, which is a new direction for oncotherapy.

Highlights

  • With the highest morbidity and mortality, lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, in which about 80% pertains to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

  • Statistical analysis SPSS13.0 software was applied to conduct a statistical analysis. mRNA expression quantities of excision repair cross complementing 1 (ERCC1), breast cancer 1 (BRCA1), ribonucleotide reductase M1 (RRM1), thymidylate synthetase (TYMS) and TUBB3 genes were represented by. t test was used to compare among groups, and expression results were expressed by percentage; variance test was applied to compare among groups. p

Summary

Introduction

With the highest morbidity and mortality, lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, in which about 80% pertains to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). About 75% of patients with NSCLC are at an advanced stage (phase IIIb or IV) on the first visit due to lack of effective diagnostic methods at an early stage, they lose the opportunity of operation, and cannot receive a radical therapy They only depend on chemoradiotherapy to relieve the pathological condition, improve symptoms and prolong survival time, but 5-year survival rate is less than 15%. To explore mRNA expression and clinical significance of ERCC1, BRCA1, RRM1, TYMS and TUBB3 genes in tumor tissue of postoperative patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Samples from tumor centers were taken to detect mRNA expression of ERCC1, BRCA1, RRM1, TYMS and TUBB3 genes in cancerous tissue during operation. According to personalized detection results can individualized therapeutic regimens be worked out, which is a new direction for oncotherapy
