SNPs in DNA repair or oxidative stress genes and late subcutaneous fibrosis in patients following single shot partial breast irradiation.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential association between single nucleotide polymorphisms related response to radiotherapy injury, such as genes related to DNA repair or enzymes involved in anti-oxidative activities. The paper aims to identify marker genes able to predict an increased risk of late toxicity studying our group of patients who underwent a Single Shot 3D-CRT PBI (SSPBI) after BCS (breast conserving surgery).A total of 57 breast cancer patients who underwent SSPBI were genotyped for SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in XRCC1, XRCC3, GST and RAD51 by Pyrosequencing technology. Univariate analysis (ORs and 95% CI) was performed to correlate SNPs with the risk of developing ? G2 fibrosis or fat necrosis.A higher significant risk of developing ? G2 fibrosis or fat necrosis in patients with: polymorphic variant GSTP1 (Ile105Val) (OR = 2.9; 95%CI, 0.88-10.14, p = 0.047).The presence of some SNPs involved in DNA repair or response to oxidative stress seem to be able to predict late toxicity.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01316328.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the impact of genetic variants of DNA repair and pro-fibrotic pathway genes on the severity of radiation-induced subcutaneous fibrosis in patients of oropharyngeal carcinoma treated with radical radiotherapy.Materials and methodsPatients of newly diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma of oropharynx being treated with two-dimensional radical radiotherapy were enrolled in the study. Patients who had undergone surgery or were receiving concurrent chemotherapy were excluded. Patients were followed up at 6 weeks post completion of radiotherapy and every 3 months thereafter for a median of 16 months. Subcutaneous fibrosis was graded according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) grading system and the maximum grade was recorded over the length of the patient's follow-up. Patients with severe fibrosis (≥G3), were compared to patients with minor (≤G2) fibrotic reactions. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms of 7 DNA repair genes and 2 polymorphisms of a single pro-fibrotic pathway gene were analyzed by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism and were correlated with the severity of subcutaneous fibrosis.Results179 patients were included in the analysis. Subcutaneous fibrosis was seen in 168 (93.9%) patients. 36 (20.1%) patients had severe (grade 3) fibrosis. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, Homozygous CC genotype of XRCC3 (722C>T, rs861539) (p=0.013*, OR 2.350, 95% CI 1.089-5.382), Homozygous AA genotype of ERCC4 Ex8 (1244G>A, rs1800067) (p=0.001**, OR 11.626, 95% CI 2.490-275.901) and Homozygous TT genotype of XRCC5 (1401G>T, rs828907) (p=0.020*, OR 2.188, 95% CI 1.652-7.334) were found to be predictive of severe subcutaneous fibrosis. On haplotype analysis, the cumulative risk of developing severe fibrosis was observed in patients carrying both haplotypes of variant Homozygous AA genotype of ERCC4 Ex8 (1244G>A, rs1800067) and Homozygous TT genotype of XRCC5 (1401 G>T, rs828907) (p=0.010*, OR 26.340, 95% CI 4.014-76.568).ConclusionWe demonstrated significant associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms of DNA repair genes and radiation-induced subcutaneous fibrosis in patients of oropharyngeal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy. We propose to incorporate these genetic markers into predictive models for identifying patients genetically predisposed to the development of radiation-induced fibrosis, thus guiding personalized treatment protocols.
