METHODS： Relevant studies extracted from PubMed, Embase, Wanfang, VIP and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases up to March 2012 were included in the study. Stata software, version 11.0, was used for the statistical analysis. The odds ratios （ORs） and 95% confidence interval （CI） of the XRCC1 polymorphisms in HCC patients were analyzed and compared with healthy controls. The meta-analysis was performed using fixed-effect or random-effect methods, depending on the absence or presence of significant heterogeneity. RESULTS： Eleven studies with 2075 HCC cases and 2604 controls met our eligibility criteria （four studies, 888 cases and 938 controls for Arg194Trp, four studies, 858 cases and 880 controls for Arg280His, and nine studies, 1845 cases and 2401 controls for Arg399Gln）. The meta-analysis revealed no associations between the Arg194Trp and Arg399GIn polymorphisms of the XRCC1 gene and HCC risk under all contrast models （codominant, dominant and recessive models） in the overall analysis and sensitivity analysis （the studies with controls not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were excluded）. For XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism, the overall analysis revealed the significant associa- tion between the His/His genotype and the increased risk of HCC （His/His vs Arg/Arg model, OR： 1.96, 95% CI： 1.03-3.75, P = 0.04）. However, sensitivity analysis showed an altered pattern of result and non-significant association （OR： 2.06, 95% CI： 0.67-6.25, P = 0.20）. The heterogeneity hypothesis test did not reveal any heterogeneity, and Begg＇s and Egger＇s tests did not find any obvious publication bias. CONCLUSION： The XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399GIn polymorphisms are not associated with HCC risk. More rigorous association studies are needed to verify the involvement ofXRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism in HCC susceptibility.展开更多

Furthermore, tea polyphenols can decrease DNA damage caused by free radicals. We hypothesized that tea polyphenols repair DNA damage and inhibit neuronal apoptosis during global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. To test this hypothesis, we employed a rat model of global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. We demonstrated that intraperitoneal injection of tea polyphenols immediately after reperfusion significantly reduced apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 region; this effect started 6 hours following reperfusion. Immunohistochemical staining showed that tea polyphenols could reverse the ischemia/reperfusion-induced reduction in the expression of DNA repair proteins, X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 and apudnic/apyrimidinic endonuclease/redox factor-1 starting at 2 hours. Both effects lasted at least 72 hours. These experimental findings suggest that tea polyphenols promote DNA damage repair and protect against apoptosis in the brain.展开更多

Methods： Relevant case-control studies were enrolled in the meta-analysis. We applied Rev Man 4.2 software to pool raw data and test studies＇ heterogeneity and to calculate the incorporated odds ratio （OR） and 95% confidence interval （95% CI）. Results： Our data showed that the OR for the Gln allele of the Arg399Gln polymorphism, compared with the Arg allele, was 1.35 （95% CI, 1.16-1.57; P〈0.0001） for childhood ALL patients. Similarly, the homozygous genotype Gln/Gln and heterozygous genotype Arg/Gln both significantly increased the risk of childhood ALL compared with the wild genotype Arg/Arg （OR =1.58; 95% CI, 1.13-2.21; P=0.008; OR =1.51; 95% CI, 1.21-1.87; P=0.0002）. The dominant model of Arg399Gln was associated with childhood ALL risk （OR =1.54; 95% CI, 1.25-1.89; P〈0.0001）. The ethnic subgroup analysis demonstrated that the Gln allele in all five ethnic groups was prone to be a risk factor for childhood ALL just with different degrees of correlation while Arg194Trp SNP showed a protective or risk factor or irrelevant thing in different races. Conclusions： XRCC1 399 polymorphism may increase the risk of childhood ALL. Different ethnic groups with some gene polymorphism have different disease risks.展开更多

OBJECTIVE： To determine the mechanisms of neuroprotective effects of SP600125 in a rat model of brain ischemia/reperfusion, and determine the role of the JNK signaling pathway in SP600125-induced effects. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled, animal experiment was performed at the Animal Experiment Center, Medical School of Xi＇an Jiaotong University from June 2007 to September 2008. MATERIALS： SP600125 was provided by Biosource, USA; rabbit anti-phospho-JNK （Thr183/Tyr185） polyclonal antibody from Cell Signaling Technology, USA; rabbit anti-X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 （XRCC1） and anti-Ku70 polyclonal antibodies from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA; and TUNEL kit from Beijing Huamei Biology, China. METHODS： A total of 108 male, 4-month-old, Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups, with 36 rats per group. The sham operation group and ischemia/reperfusion group （I/R group） were intracerebroventricularly injected with 10 μL 1% DMSO. The SP600125-treated group （pre-SP group） was given 10 μL SP600125 （3 μg/μL）. Thirty minutes later, brain ischemia was induced in the I/R and pre-SP groups using the four-vessel occlusion method. Specifically, whole brain ischemia was induced for 6 minutes, and the clips were released to restore carotid artery blood flow. Rats from each group were observed at 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours, with 6 rats for each time point. The sham operation group was treated with the same surgical exposure procedures, with exception of occlusion of the carotid artery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe neuronal survival in the hippocampal CA1 region, TUNEL was used to detect apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 region, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect expression of phospho-JNK, XRCC1, and Ku70. RESULTS： Following brain ischemia/reperfusion, neuronal survival significantly decreased, and the number of apoptotic cells significantly increased （P 〈 0.01）. Compared with the I/R group, neuronal survival significantly increased in the pre-SP group, and the number of apoptotic cells significantly decreased （P 〈 0.01）. Expression of phospho-JNK increased, and XRCC1 and Ku70 significantly decreased （P 〈 0.05） following ischemia/reperfusion. Compared with the I/R group, expression of phospho-JNK decreased, and XRCC1 and Ku70 significantly increased in the pre-SP group （P 〈 0.05）. Correlation analysis revealed an inverse correlation between phospho-JNK gray value and XRCC1 and Ku70 gray values in the hippocampal CA1 region （r = -0.983, -0.953, P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： SP600125 treatment decreased apoptosis induced by global brain ischemia/reperfusion in the rat hippocampal CA1 region. Results suggested that the neuroprotective effects were due to inhibited phosphorylation of JNK and reduced down-regulation of XRCC1 and Ku70.展开更多

However, just 20%-30% smokers develop COPD, which suggests that different degrees of DNA repair cause different outcomes in smokers. X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 （XRCC 1）, a base excision repair protein, has multiple roles in repairing ROS-mediated, basal DNA damage and single-strand DNA breaks. The present study investigated the association between polymorphism in XRCC1 （Arg399Gln） and susceptibility of COPD. A total of 201 COPD cases and 309 controls were recruited and frequency-matched on age and sex. XRCC1 genotype was determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Overall, compared with those with the XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotype, the risk for COPD had no significant difference among individuals with Trp/Trp genotype. However, after stratifying by smoking status, in former smokers, compared with those with the XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotype, the risk for COPD was significantly reduced among individuals with Trp/Trp genotype （adjusted OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.85, P=0.028）; after stratifying by smoking exposure, in light smokers, compared with those with the XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotype, the risk for COPD was significantly reduced among individuals with Arg/Trp genotype and Trp/Trp genotype （adjusted OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.16=0.94, P=0.036; 0.24, 95% CI 0.07-0.79, P=0.019, respectively）. In conclusion, XRCC1 Arg194Trp genotype is associated with a reduced risk of developing COPD among former and light smokers.展开更多

However, only 20%-30% of smokers develop COPD, suggesting that different degrees of DNA repair produce different outcomes in smokers, i.e., part of them develop COPD. We investigated the association between polymorphisms in DNA repair genes hOGG1 （Ser326Cys） and XRCC1 （Arg399GIn）, alone or in combination, and susceptibility of COPD. Methods Altogether 201 COPD patients and 309 controls were recruited and frequency-matched on age and sex. hOGG1 and XRCC1 genotypes were determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Results The risk of COPD was not significantly different among individuals with Ser/Cys and Cys/Cys genotypes compared with those with hOGG1 Ser/Ser genotype. The risk of COPD was not significantly different among individuals with Gin/Gin genotype compared with those with XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotype, but it was significantly elevated among individuals with Arg/GIn genotype （adjusted odds ratios （OR）=1.55, 95% confidence intervals （CI） 1.05-2.29, P=0.029）. Assessment of smoking status in current smokers compared with those with hOGG1 Ser/Ser genotype revealed that the risk of COPD was significantly elevated among individuals with Cys/Cys genotype （adjusted OR=5.07, 95% CI 1.84-13.95, P=0.002）. Compared with those with XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotype, the risk of COPD was significantly elevated among individuals with Arg/GIn genotype （adjusted OR=2.77, 95% CI 1.52-5.07, P=-0.001）. Assessment of smoking exposure in light smokers compared with those with hOGG1 Ser/Ser genotype showed that the risk of COPD was significantly elevated among individuals with Cys/Cys genotype （adjusted OR=4.02, 95% CI 1.05-16.80, P=0.042）. Compared with those with XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotype, the risk of COPD was significantly elevated among individuals with Gin/Gin genotype （adjusted OR=4.48, 95% CI 1.35-14.90, P=0.014）. In heavy smokers compared with those with XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotype, the risk of COPD was significantly elevated among individuals with Arg/GIn genotype （adjusted OR= 2.55, 95% CI 1.42-4.58, P=0.002）. When hOGG1 Ser326Cys and XRCC1 Arg399GIn polymorphisms were evaluated together, compared with those with 0-1 of hOGG1 326Cys and XRCC1 399Gin alleles, the risk of COPD was significantly elevated among individuals with 3-4 of hOGG1 326Cys and XRCC1 399Gin alleles （adjusted OR=3.18, 95% CI 1.86-5.43, P=0.000）. Assessment of smoking status and smoking exposure in current/light/heavy smokers showed that the risk of COPD was significantly elevated among individuals with 3-4 of hOGG1 326Cys and XRCC1 399Gin alleles （adjusted OR=8.32, 95% CI 3.59-19.27, P=0.000; OR=5.46, 95% CI 2.06-14.42, P=0.001; OR=2.93, 95% CI 1.43-6.02, P=0.003; respectively）. Conclusions hOGG1 Ser326Cys and XRCC1 Arg399GIn polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility to COPD. The risk of COPD is significantly elevated among current/light smokers with hOGG1 326Cys and XRCC1 399Gin.展开更多

The meta-analysis revealed no associations between the Arg194Trp and Arg399GIn polymorphisms of the XRCC1 gene and HCC risk under all contrast models （codominant, dominant and recessive models） in the overall analysis and sensitivity analysis （the studies with controls not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were excluded）. For XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism, the overall analysis revealed the significant associa- tion between the His/His genotype and the increased risk of HCC （His/His vs Arg/Arg model, OR： 1.96, 95% CI： 1.03-3.75, P = 0.04）. However, sensitivity analysis showed an altered pattern of result and non-significant association （OR： 2.06, 95% CI： 0.67-6.25, P = 0.20）. The heterogeneity hypothesis test did not reveal any heterogeneity, and Begg＇s and Egger＇s tests did not find any obvious publication bias.
