ABSTRACT Objective:Meta analysis was performed on the association between the nucleotide excision repair gene XPG/ERCC5 single nucleotide polymorphism and the sensitivity of platinum based chemotherapy in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer. Methods:The advanced NSCLC patients with XPG His46His polymorphism and the efficacy of platinum based chemotherapy were retrieved via searching databases including PubMed, Embase, SinoMed, CNKI, VIP and WanFang database. Data were collected from standards compliant studies. Methodological quality evaluation was performed using the Cochrane System Evaluator Manual 5.1.0. Meta analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: The Meta analysis was conducted for 6 studies, involving 983 patients. Genetic testing showed that XPG His46His divided into mutant gene C/T, T/T and wild type gene C/C. Results of Meta analysis showed, TT type chemotherapy sensitivity in the XPG 46 locus genotype with advanced non small cell lung cancer patients was significantly lower than C/C genotype, the difference was statistically significant (OR=0.40, 95%CI: 0.24 0.65, P=0.000 3); there was no significant difference in sensitivity between C/T and C/C genotype (OR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.55 1.16, P=0.23]; the efficacy of type CT + TT genotype chemotherapy was significant lower than the wild type CC genotype, the difference was statistically significant (OR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.41 0.75, P=0.000 1). Subgroup analysis indicated that between C/T+T/T and C/C in the XPG 46 locus genotype, C/T+T/T type chemotherapy in the XPG 46 locus genotype sensitivity was significantly lower than CC genotype in pathological stage Ⅳ, the difference was statistically significant (OR=0.40, 95%CI: 0.20 0.82, P=0.01). Conclusion:Patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer nucleotide excision repair gene XPG / ERCC5 wild type C/C were more sensitive to platinum chemotherapy than those with variant genotype C/T + T/T and T/T. However, due to the small number of studies included in the systematic review, as more clinical studies were conducted, the conclusions need to be further verified. |
