    • Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of matrix-degrading proteins implicated in several pathological processes, e.g., invasion and metastasis in malignant diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC). Materials and methods: One hundred and twenty-seven CRC patients and 208 controls were genotyped for MMP-1, -2, -3 and -9 promoter polymorphisms. The genotyping was performed with PCR/primer-extension/DHPLC or PCR/RFLP. Results: The MMP-1 2G allele was significantly associated with CRC (p=0.037). No significant association between CRC and MMP-2, -3 or -9 polymorphisms was evident. The analysis of polymorphisms in the clinicopathological subgroups displayed no significant associations. Conclusion: The MMP-1 promoter polymorphism seems to affect the susceptibility to CRC, while MMP-2, -3 and -9 polymorphisms appear less likely to have any impact on CRC.

  • Association between ulcerative growth and hypoxia inducible factor-1α polymorphisms in colorectal cancer patients
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: Molecular Carcinogenesis. - : Wiley. - 0899-1987 .- 1098-2744. ; 45:11, s. 833-840

    • The hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been found to be involved in several different physiological mechanisms, such as blood-vessel formation, apoptosis, and erythropoiesis. HIF-1α is hydroxylated at normoxia and rapidly degraded via the von Hippel–Lindau (VHL)/ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system to prevent angiogenesis. In a previous study, the C1772T (P582S) and the G1790A (A588T) polymorphisms were identified in the human HIF-1α gene, which was shown to have a higher transactivating capability in vitro compared to the wild type allele. However, the role for these polymorphisms in vivo is still unclear. In the present investigation, we have therefore studied the role of the two polymorphic variants in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) with PCR/RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism), single strand conformation analysis (SSCA), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). A significant higher-risk was identified between patients heterozygous for the C1772T polymorphism and the more severe ulcerative growth pattern compared to homozygous C1772C wild type tumors (RR = 5.2; 95% CI 1.26–21.6; P = 0.006). This was also verified on the allelic level (RR = 6.5; 95% CI 1.58–26.8; P = 0.001). In addition, patients carrying one or more polymorphic alleles in either the HIF-1α C1772T or the G1790A polymorphisms display significant higher risk for the development of ulcerative CRCs (RR = 4.17; 95% CI = 1.33–13.08; P = 0.004). These results suggest that the HIF-1α polymorpisms are an important factor for development of a subset of ulcerative intestinal tumors. Future screening of the polymorphic HIF-1α allele may therefore be of importance in the selection of treatment strategies of CRC.

  • Nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) promoter polymorphisms in colorectal cancer
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: Cancer Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0304-3835 .- 1872-7980. ; 225:1, s. 99-103

    • Previously, increased expression of nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) in colorectal cancer (CRC) has been identified. The NOS2 gene is transcriptionally regulated, which suggests that polymorphisms in the NOS2 promoter may have a role for CRC development and progression. The genotyping was performed with PCR/RFLP, single strand conformation analysis or MegaBACE genotyping of normal blood DNA from CRC patients and normal healthy controls. However, no significant association between NOS2 polymorphisms and CRC onset or clinical outcome was evident. In conclusion, these results, therefore, suggest that NOS2 promoter polymorphisms have a limited effect on the onset or progression of CRC.

  • Molecular identification of Helicobacter DNA present in human colorectal adenocarcinomas by 16S rDNA PCR amplification and pyrosequencing analysis
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: Journal of Medical Microbiology. - : Microbiology Society. - 0022-2615 .- 1473-5644. ; 54:11, s. 1031-1035

    • Seroepidemiological studies have indicated that Helicobacter pylori infection might be a possible risk factor for colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) development. However, limited information is available as to whether or not Helicobacter species are present in CRC tissues. In this study the presence of Helicobacter DNA in 77 CRC biopsies was investigated by means of a Helicobacter species-specific 16S rDNA PCR assay and real-time DNA pyrosequencing of the 16S rDNA variable V3 region. Pyrosequencing revealed the presence of Helicobacter DNA sequences in 21 of 77 biopsy specimens (27%). 16S rDNA sequences corresponding to H. pylori 26695 and H. pylori J99 were most commonly found. Intriguingly, one sequence belonged to Helicobacter mustelae, previously identified in ferrets. No significant correlations were found in the prevalence of Helicobacter DNA between colon and rectum tumour biopsies (P = 0.815), nor between Dukes' classes A/B and C/D (P = 0.262). 16S rDNA PCR amplification combined with pyrosequencing analysis of 16S rDNA variable V3 regions provides a powerful molecular tool to identify Helicobacter species in human biopsy specimens. © 2005 SGM.

  • Adjusted conditioning for allogeneic transplantation in a single center setting : Mixed chimerism heralds relapse
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Leukemia and Lymphoma. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1042-8194 .- 1029-2403. ; 44:4, s. 669-679

    • The role of mixed chimerism on subsequent relapse was prospectively evaluated in an allotransplant program. Sixty-six patients with median age of 54 and mainly high-risk hematologic disease and/or solid tumors had individually adjusted non-myeloablative conditioning. Thirty-nine donors were siblings and 27 unrelated. Frequent chimerism analyses supported immune manipulation including donor lymphocyte infusions. The need for transfusions, iv fluids, and antibiotics, and weight loss was less than in a control cohort. Most patients had immediate full and consistent donor chimerism, one-third required immune manipulation. Eight of ten evaluable CML patients were BCR/ABL-negative at days 14-58 post-transplant. Mixed chimerism frequently preceded relapse, and the relapse rate was 38% in 26 patients with mixed chimerism vs. 11% among 35 with consistent full donor chimerism (p = 0.015). The current transplant- and disease-related mortality were 11 and 9%, respectively, among 35 non-high-risk patients, and 35 and 10% for 29 high-risk patients with hematologic malignancy. With a median follow-up of 15 months the 2-year overall survival is 73% for non-high-risk, and 46% for high-risk patients. Adjusted conditioning reduces early toxicity and resource requirements without impairing tumor control, probably due to a rapid establishment of the graft-versus-cancer effect. Mixed chimerism heralded relapse, and tumor-related mortality is not greater with adjusted than with conventional conditioning.

  • Explaining TPMT genotype/phenotype discrepancy by haplotyping of TPMT*3A and identification of a novel sequence variant, TPMT*23
  • 2007

    • Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is a polymorphic enzyme involved in the metabolism of thiopurine drugs. Owing to polymorphisms in the TPMT gene (TPMT*2-*22), the enzyme activity varies interindividually. Patients with reduced TPMT activity may develop adverse reactions when treated with standard doses of thiopurines. This work focuses on a TPMT genotype/phenotype discrepancy found in a patient during routine testing. The patient displayed very low TPMT enzyme activity and she was genotyped by pyrosequencing as being heterozygous for the 460G>A and 719A>G polymorphisms (TPMT*3A). Complete sequencing in combination with haplotyping of the TPMT gene revealed a novel sequence variant, 500C>G, on one allele and TPMT*3A on the other allele, giving rise to the novel genotype TPMT*3A/*23. When investigating the patient's relatives, they too had the TPMT*3A/*23 genotype in combination with low enzyme activity. We conclude that this novel variant allele affects enzyme activity, as the individuals carrying it had almost undetectable TPMT activity. © 2007 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

  • Glucocerebrosidase variant T369M is not a risk factor for Parkinson's disease in Sweden.
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Neuroscience Letters. - : Elsevier. - 0304-3940 .- 1872-7972. ; 784
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • INTRODUCTION: Genetic variants in the Beta-glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1) is a known risk factor for Parkinson's disease. The GBA1 mutations L444P, N370S and many other have been shown to associate with the disease in populations with diverse background. Some GBA1 polymorphisms have a less pronounced effect, and their pathogenicity has been debated. We have previously found associations with L444P, N370S and E326K and Parkinson's disease in Sweden.METHOD: In this study we used pyrosequencing to genotype the T369M variant in a large Swedish cohort consisting of 1,131 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, and 1,594 control subjects to evaluate the possibility of this variant conferring an increased risk for Parkinson's disease.RESULTS: The minor allele frequency was 2.15% in patients and 1.76% in controls. Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in allele frequency between patients and control subjects, p-value 0.37, Odds Ratio 1.23 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.82-1.83.CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that T369M is not a risk factor for Parkinson's disease in the Swedish population.
