【 摘 要 】

Background and objective Gemcitabine is representative agent for chemotherapy in non-smallcell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aims of this study are to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the genesuch as ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1 ), which is the molecular target of gemcitabine, probably contribute tothe resistance progress. Methods Allele-specific primers (wild, mutant and the same antisense primers) were designedaccording to the sequence of RRM1 . The allelotyping of RRM1 promoter polymorphisms was conducted via SYBR GreenI real-time PCR using genomic DNA obtained from peripheral WBC of 110 lung cancer cases and 40 cases of healthysubjects and the relationship of genotype and characteristic, response and survival time of lung cancer patients were alsoanalyzed. Results Using Fluorescence PCR, the occurrence of allele A genotype at the promoter 37 site is 32 percent and 30 percent separately in lung cancer patients and healthy individuals. There were no relations between AA frequency and general characteristic of lung cancer patients such as sex, pathologic, clinical stage, response rate and over-all survival time in patients receiving gemcitabine reagents (P >0.05). Conclusion The specific primer real-time PCR can detect theSNP of RRM1 gene.
