摘要
Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may contribute to defects in DNA repair and increased susceptibility to cancer. The xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) gene is required for nucleotide excision repair (NER) and mutations in XPA highly predispose humans to skin cancer. We examined DNA samples from 189 individuals for polymorphisms in the XPA gene. First, SSCP analysis was used to examine each of the six exons and their intron boundaries. One frequent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the untranslated region of exon 1 and two rare SNPs which produce the changes Arg228Gln and Val234Leu in the coding region of exon 6 were identified. Quite surprisingly, no sequence variants were found within the coding regions or the adjacent intron boundaries of exons 1-5. Ecdysone-inducible expression vectors containing wild type XPA cDNA or cDNAs representing the two polymorphisms that we identified in exon 6 were created and independently introduced into the XPA deficient cell line XP12RO-SV. Transcription-coupled repair (TCR), global genome repair (GGR) and cell survival following UV irradiation were studied in each cell line in the absence or presence of the ecdysone hormone analog, ponasterone A. No substantial difference in repair or cell survival was found in cells complemented with wild type or polymorphic alleles of XPA. A 10-fold increase in the expression of XPA by addition of ponasterone A resulted in faster removal of 6-4 photoproducts from the total genomes of cells complemented with wild type or polymorphic alleles of XPA but had no significant impact on TCR or global genome repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). Since our SSCP analysis failed to detect significant numbers of polymorphisms we directly sequenced exons 4-6 in a subset of our samples. One additional rare SNP, which produces the change Leu252Val was found in exon 6 and four rare SNPs and one rare single nucleotide deletion were found in intron 4. Hence, the XPA gene appears to be a cold spot for genetic variation and rare polymorphisms in the coding region of the gene do not reduce NER or cell survival after UV irradiation.
