Objective To explore association of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) gene rs676210 and rs2854725polymorphisms with gallstone disease and differences of polymorphisms between Uygur population and Han population. Methods A case control study was used. One hundred and eighty-nine patients with gallstone disease from 2010 to 2014 in our hospital were collected, of which 99 cases of Uygur population and 90 cases of Han population. One hundred and ninety age- and sex-matched healthy volunteer accepted physical examination in our hospital over the same period were collected as control, of which 93 Uygur population and 97 Han population. The ApoB genotyping of DNA samples were amplified by using SNaPshot single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The differences of polymorphisms between Uygur population and Han population and between patients with gallstone disease and healthy volunteer were analyzed. Results ① The differences of ApoB gene rs676210 and rs2854725 allele frequencies were not found between the patients with gallstone disease and healthy volunteer whether Uygur population or Han population (Uygur population: rs676210:χ2=0.229,P=0.633; rs2854725:χ2=0.028,P=0.866. Han population: rs676210:χ2=0.608,P=0.435; rs2854725:χ2=2.673,P=0.102). ② The differences of ApoB gene rs676210 and rs2854725 allele frequencies were not found between Uygur population and Han population whether the patients with gallstone disease or healthy volunteer (Patients with gallstone disease: rs676210:χ2=0.103,P=0.748; rs2854725:χ2=3.139,P=0.076. Healthy volunteer: rs676210:χ2=0.000,P=0.990; rs2854725:χ2=2.673,P=0.102). ③ The differences of ApoB gene rs676210 and rs2854725 genotype frequencies were not found between the patients with gallstone disease and healthy volunteer whether Uygur population or Han population (Uygur population: rs676210:χ2=2.301,P=0.317; rs2854725:χ2=3.040,P=0.219. Han population: rs676210:χ2=4.909,P=0.086; rs2854725:χ2=0.107,P=0.744). ④ The differences of ApoB gene rs676210 and rs2854725 genotype frequencies were not found between Uygur population and Han population patients with gallstone disease (rs676210:χ2=0.235,P=0.899; rs2854725:χ2=3.630,P=0.057). The difference of ApoB gene rs676210 genotype frequency was not found between Uygur population and Han population with healthy volunteer (χ2=1.026,P=0.599). While the difference of ApoB gene rs2854725 genotype frequency was found between Han population and Uygur population with healthy volunteer (χ2=9.153,P=0.010). When it was compared in pairs,α=0.05/3=0.016, the difference of G/T and T/T frequencies was found between Uygur population and Han population (χ2=6.128,P=0.013), G/T of Han population (27.8%) was higher than that of Uygur population (12.9%). Conclusions ApoB gene rs676210 and rs2854725 polymorphisms are not associated with gallstone disease. For healthy volunteer, ApoB gene rs676210 polymorphism shows no ethnics-specific difference between Uygur population and Han population, but ApoB gene rs2854725 polymorphism mightbe show a difference between Uygur population and Han population. Larger sample sizes and multicenter study are needed to confirm it.
ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between lipid profile and molecular typing of invasive breast cancer.MethodsThree hundreds and seventy-five patients with primary invasive breast cancer diagnosed from Breast Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2018 to June 2019. The total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein A (ApoA), and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) concentrations were detected. Molecular classification based on the results of postoperative immunohistochemistry of breast cancer patients, compared the measured values of each subtype.ResultsThere were no significant difference in serum TG, HDL-C and ApoA among the four subtypes (P>0.05). Differences serum levels of TC, LDL-C, and ApoB among breast cancer patients of various subtypes were statistically significant (P<0.05). Serum TC concentration in the HER2 overexpression type [(5.08±1.00) mmol/L] and the triple negative type [(5.12±0.91) mmol/L] were significantly higher than the Luminal A type [(4.68±1.01) mmol/L] and the Luminal B type [(4.79± 0.93) mmol/L], P<0.05. Serum LDL-C concentration in the triple negative type [(3.14±0.88) mmol/L] was significantly higher than the LuminalA type [(2.77±0.84) mmol/L] and the LuminalB type [(2.87±0.81) mmol/L], P<0.05. Serum ApoB concentration in the Luminal B type [(0.94±0.23) g/L] was significantly lower than the triple negative type [(1.03±0.23) g/L].ConclusionThere are differences in serum TC, LDL-C and apoB concentrations among different subtypes of breast cancer, but TG, HDL-C and ApoA are not related to molecular typing of breast cancer.
