Taken together, our results identify the ARCH domain of XPD as a platform for the recruitment of CAK and as a potential molecular switch that might control TFIIH composition and play a key role in the conversion of TFIIH from a factor active in transcription to a factor involved in DNA repair.
The DNA repair proteinxeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) is involved in the nucleotide excision repair of DNA lesions induced by many tobacco and environmental carcinogens.
This is the first study on DNA repair genetic polymorphisms in West Algerian population, and it suggests that the XRCC3Thr241Met and XPDLys751Gln polymorphisms may not be associated with the CRC risk in this population.
In this review, the authors focused on the x-ray repair cross-complementing protein group 3 (XRCC3) and xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD)/excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency (ERCC2) genes, because they are among the most extensively studied but no final conclusion has yet been drawn about their role in cancer occurrence.
X-ray repair cross-complementing groups 1 and 3 (XRCC1 and XRCC3) and xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) are mainly involved in base excision repair, homologous recombination repair, and nucleotide excision repair of DNA repair pathways, respectively.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the association between XRCC1 Arg399Gln, Arg280His and Arg194Trp, XRCC3Thr241Met, and XPDLys751Gln polymorphisms and the risk of developing CML in Romanian patients.
In conclusion, our results reveal no association between XPDLys751Gln, XRCC Arg399Gln and XRCC3Thr241Met polymorphisms and the risk of PE in a Mexican mestizo population; however, the results in the APEX1 Asp148Glu polymorphism suggest the need for future studies using a larger sample size.
In a subset of 55 patients, the xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD)-751, x-ray cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) and cytidine deaminase polymorphisms were significantly associated with clinical outcomes.
DNA repair gene polymorphisms, such as those of XRCC3 and xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group D and G (XPD, XPG), contribute to carcinogenesis.
In the multivariate Cox model, XRCC3 241 remained an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio: XRCC3 241 MetMet, 0.44; P = 0.01), and XPD 751 and XRCC1 399 also emerged as significant prognostic factors (hazard ratios: XPD 751 LysGln, 0.46, P = 0.03; XRCC1 399 ArgGln, 0.61, P = 0.04).
Associations between lung cancer risk and common polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD), X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1), XRCC3 and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease/redox factor 1 were examined within a randomized clinical trial designed to determine whether alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, or both would reduce cancer incidence among male smokers in Finland.
Our results indicate that SNPs in the NER genes ERCC1 (Asn118Asn, 15310G>C, 8902G>T), XPA (-4G>A), ERCC2/XPD (Lys751Gln) and ERCC5/XPD (His46His); the BER genes APE1/APEX (Ile64Val), OGG1 (Ser326Cys), PCNA (1876A>G) and XRCC1 (Arg194Trp, Arg280His, Arg399Gln); and the DSB-R genes ATR (Thr211Met), NBS1 (Glu185Gln), XRCC2 (Arg188His) and XRCC9 (Thr297Ile) modulate NSCLC risk.
For the single nucleotide polymorphisms in XRCC1 exon 10 (Arg399Gln, G/A) and XPD exon 23 (Lys751Gln, A/C), no remarkable differences for genotype distribution and allele frequencies were observed between BC group and control group in the study.
In the multivariate Cox model, XRCC3 241 remained an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio: XRCC3 241 MetMet, 0.44; P = 0.01), and XPD 751 and XRCC1 399 also emerged as significant prognostic factors (hazard ratios: XPD 751 LysGln, 0.46, P = 0.03; XRCC1 399 ArgGln, 0.61, P = 0.04).
Associations between lung cancer risk and common polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD), X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1), XRCC3 and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease/redox factor 1 were examined within a randomized clinical trial designed to determine whether alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, or both would reduce cancer incidence among male smokers in Finland.
Haplotypes association showed that association of Gln allele of XRCC1Arg399Gln polymorphism with the Asn allele of XPDAsp312Asn polymorphism (p = 0.004) or Gln allele of XRCC1Arg399Gln polymorphism with the Gln allele of XPDLys751Gln polymorphism (p = 0.003) was highly significantly associated with the development of ESRD.
We assessed whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD), X-ray repair cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1) and glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) predicted overall survival in gastric cancer patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in Chinese population.
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.
In this study, we explored the correlation between genetic polymorphisms in XPD and XRCC1 and the risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the East Chinese Han population.
We postulate that defects in the DNA repair genes XRCC1 and XPD may possibly be associated with the progression of POAG in male patients of Pakistani origin.
