摘 要:Background Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a key regulatory enzyme for de novo DNA *** activity is also an important determinant of the response to chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidine prodrugs,and its expression may be affected by gene *** this study,we investigated the associations between polymorphisms of the TS gene and its protein expression,and the implications on the efficacy of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in pancreatic cancer *** Genotypes based on the 28-bp TS tandem repeat for pancreatic cell lines were determined by electrophoretic analysis of PCR products.A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at nucleotide 12 of the second 28-bp repeat of the 3R allele was determined by nucleotide *** chemosensitivity of pancreatic carcinoma cells to 5-FU in vitro was evaluated using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8).TS protein expression was analyzed by Western *** Seven pancreatic carcinoma cell lines had different genotypes in terms of the 28-bp TS tandem repeat,as follows:homozygous 2R/2R (T3M4 and BxPC-3 cells),heterozygous 2R/3R (AsPC-1,Capan-1,and SU86.86),and homozygous 3R/3R (PANC-1 and COLO357).The optical density ratio of genotypes 3R/3R,2R/2R and 2R/3R was 1.393±0.374,0.568±0.032 and 0.561±0.056,*** with the 2R/3R or 3R/3R genotypes were further analyzed for the G to C SNP at nucleotide 12 of the second 28-bp repeat of the 3R allele,yielding heterozygous 2R/3Rc (AsPC-1,Capan-1,and SU86.86),homozygous 3Rg/3Rg (COLO357) and homozygous 3Rc/3Rc (PANC-1).The optical density ratio of homozygous 3Rg/3Rg cells and homozygous 3Rc/3Rc cells was 1.723±0.062 and 1.063±0.134,respectively,and this difference was statistically significant (P 〈0.05).Cells with the 2R/2R and 2R/3R genotypes of TS were hypersensitive to 5-FU in vitro as compared with those with the 3R/3R *** Polymorphisms in the TS gene influenced its protein expression and affected sensitivity of 5-FU in seven pancreatic cancer cell ***
