Prognostic role of apoptosis-related gene functional variants in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in apoptosis-related genes have been shown to play a role in the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy and may influence clinical outcomes. Our study aimed to evaluate the correlations of four functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms - FAS -670 A>G, FAS ligand -844 T>C, survivin -31 G>C, and survivin 9386 C>T - with drug response and clinical outcomes in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Polymorphisms were evaluated using the polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment-length polymorphism technique. RESULTS:Patients with the CC genotype of FAS -670 A>G had worse overall survival (OS) than those with the CT or TT genotype (P=0.044), with median OS values of 20.1 months, 22.8 months, and 26.0 months, respectively. Furthermore, progression-free survival was associated with the FAS -670 A>G polymorphism (P=0.032). In addition, patients with the TC and CC genotypes of survivin 9386 C>T experienced improved survival compared with patients with the TT genotype (median OS 31.4 months and 22.8 months, respectively). CONCLUSION:The functional FAS -670 A>G and survivin 9386 C>T polymorphisms are potential independent prognostic factors in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
