Interestingly, XPD transduction and treatment with statins and bisphosphonates known to accelerate the radiation-induced ATM nucleoshuttling led to significant complementation of these impairments.<b>Conclusions:</b> Our findings suggest that some subsets of XPD patients may be at risk of radiosensitivity reactions and treatment with statins and bisphosphonates may be an interesting approach of radioprotection countermeasure.
Influence of functional variants Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln of Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group D (XPD) and Glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1) and Theta 1 (GSTT1) genes on cutaneous melanoma susceptibility and prognosis.
Individuals with XPD312Asp/Asn or Asn/Asn plus GSTT1 null genotype were under 2.00 (95% CI: 1.06-3.79), and XPD312Asn/Gln haplotype was under 1.44-fold (95% CI: 0.99-2.08) increased risks to CM than others.
The ratio of cooking oil mist exposure history and soot exposure history, and the gene frequencies of XRCC1T-77C TC + CC, XRCC1 AG + GG, XRCC1 399Gln/Gln, and XPD 751Gln/Gln were higher in female patients with NSCLC than those with benign lung diseases or healthy controls.
The experiments were randomly divided into a control group, a liposome control group, a negative control (NC) group, an XPD siRNA group, and an XPD siRNA + P53 inhibitor group.
Expression of CyclinD1, Bcl-2, and C-sis increased significantly after XPD silencing, while the expression of P21, Mdm2, Mdm4, Bax, and P53 significantly decreased (vs. NC, P<0.05).
A key nucleotide excision repair (NER) protein, xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD), is responsible for the excision of a large variety of bulky DNA lesions.
A total of 109 patients with stage IIIA and IIIB NSCLC were prospectively genotyped to examine a potential association between XPD 312 (aspartic acid [Asp]/asparagine [Asn]), XPD 751 (lysine [Lys]/glutamine [Gln]), and RRM1 (-37 C/A) polymorphisms with response and survival.
Genome sequence analysis indicated that the patient harbored a compound heterozygous mutation of c.1621A>C and c.591_594del, resulting in p.S541R and p.Y197* in ERCC2: then, patient was diagnosed with XP-D. Y197* has not been described before.
Roles of XRCC1/XPD/ERCC1 Polymorphisms in Predicting Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients Receiving Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization.
Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RLFP) analyses was used to determine the genotypes of the XPCC1 (rs25487), XPD (rs13181) and ERCC1 (rs11615) genes.
Carriers of XRCC1 glutamine (Gln), XRCC3 threonine (Thr), hOGG1 cysteine (Cys), and XPD lysine (Lys) alleles were significantly more frequent among the cohort of schizophrenia patients than in controls.
Our findings support XRCC1, XRCC3, hOGG1, and XPD as risk genes for schizophrenia and suggest that altered DNA repair functions may be involved in schizophrenia pathophysiology.
For these purposes, we genotyped apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1), human 8-oxoguanine DNA N-glycosylase 1 (hOGG1), X-ray repair cross-complementation group 1 (XRCC1), XRCC3, xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD), and xeroderma pigmentosum group G (XPG) genes in schizophrenia subjects, their healthy relatives, and unrelated healthy controls.
The correlation between ERCC1 polymorphisms (rs11615 and rs3212986) and XPD polymorphisms (rs13181 and rs1799793) with the response rate and overall survival of cancer patients who accept neoadjuvant therapy has been extensively investigated.However, the results are inconclusive.
