Abstract
BACKGROUND: The ATP-binding cassette transporter gene ABCB1 and the glutathione S-transferase gene GSTP1 code for a multidrug resistance protein and for a detoxifying phase II metabolic enzyme, respectively, with substrate specificities that include chemotherapy drugs often used to treat lung cancer. METHODS: We genotyped 11 ABCB1 and eight GSTP1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 698 white lung cancer patients (all current or former cigarette smokers) and used log-rank test statistics and proportional hazards regression to evaluate associations between SNP genotype and survival. RESULTS: Using data from all 698 cases, one SNP in ABCB1 (rs2235013) was statistically significantly associated with overall survival (p = 0.038, log-rank test). Chemotherapy and stage jointly (p = 0.025) significantly modified the association between rs2235013 and survival, with statistically significant (p = 0.013, log-rank test) association observed in the subgroup of stage III to IV lung cancer patients who received chemotherapy as part of their first course of treatment (n = 160; 93.1% nonsmall cell). Patients who inherited the minor T allele at ABCB1 rs2235013 experienced better overall survival and recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio, per minor T allele, [95% confidence interval]: 0.66 [0.49-0.90] and 0.55 [0.31-0.95], respectively; adjusted for year of diagnosis, sex, age at diagnosis, cigarette pack years, and stage). In addition, in the advanced stage chemotherapy-treated subgroup, four ABCB1 SNPs (rs6949448, rs2235046, rs1128503, and rs10276036) in mutual high linkage disequilibrium with rs2235013 and an independent ABCB1 SNP (rs1045642) showed statistically significant association (p < 0.05) with survival. CONCLUSIONS: Inherited variation in ABCB1 may affect survival specifically in advanced stage lung cancer patients who receive chemotherapy.
