Correlation between base-excision repair gene polymorphisms and levels of in-vitro BPDE-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
In vitro benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE)-induced DNA adducts in cultured peripheral
lymphocytes have been shown to be a phenotypic biomarker of individual's DNA repair
phenotype that is associated with cancer risk. In ...
CASP7 variants modify susceptibility to cervical cancer in Chinese women.
(Scientific reports, 2015-01)
Polymorphisms in Caspase-7 (CASP7) may modulate the programmed cell death and thus
contribute to cervical cancer risk. In this case-control study of 1,486 cervical cancer
cases and 1,301 controls, we investigated associations ...
Genetic variations of the ADIPOQgene and risk of prostate cancer in Chinese Han men.
(Asian journal of andrology, 2014-11)
Adiponectin secreted by adipose tissue has been implicated in prostate carcinogenesis.
Genetic variations in ADIPOQ are thought to influence the activity of adiponectin,
thus relating to cancer occurrence. In this hospital-based ...
Genotypes and haplotypes of the VEGF gene and survival in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2010-08-16)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major mediator of angiogenesis involving
in carcinogenesis, including lung cancer. We hypothesized that VEGF polymorphisms
may affect survival outcomes among locally advanced ...
Potentially functional polymorphisms in the ERCC2 gene and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2014-01)
ERCC2 is indispensable for nucleotide excision repair pathway, and its functional
polymorphisms may be associated with cancer risk. In a large case-control study of
1126 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) patients ...
Associations of PI3KR1 and mTOR polymorphisms with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk and gene-environment interactions in Eastern Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2015-01)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
may contribute to carcinogenesis. We genotyped five potentially functional PIK3R1
and mTOR SNPs in 1116 esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) ...
Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in ERCC4 and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
Excision repair cross-complementation group 4 gene (ERCC4/XPF) plays an important
role in nucleotide excision repair and participates in removal of DNA interstrand
cross-links and DNA double-strand breaks. Single nucleotide ...
Genetic variants of PTPN2 are associated with lung cancer risk: a re-analysis of eight GWASs in the TRICL-ILCCO consortium.
(Scientific reports, 2017-04-11)
The T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP) pathway consists of signaling events
mediated by TCPTP. Mutations and genetic variants of some genes in the TCPTP pathway
are associated with lung cancer risk and survival. ...
Polymorphisms of homologous recombination genes and clinical outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with definitive radiotherapy.
(PloS one, 2011-01)
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is the major mechanism to maintain genomic
stability in response to irradiation. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms in
DSB repair genes may affect clinical outcomes among ...
The miR-184 binding-site rs8126 T>C polymorphism in TNFAIP2 is associated with risk of gastric cancer.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
TNFAIP2 is a crucial gene involved in apoptosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
in its miRNA binding sites could modulate functions of the miRNA-target genes and
thus risk of cancers. In this study, we investigated ...
