Abstract

Tumor hypoxia is common in a number of solid tumor types including gastric cancer, and is associated with treatment resistance and poor prognosis. The present study aimed to investigate the function of hypoxia‑associated genetic polymorphisms in predicting treatment response and survival in patients with metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) treated with EOF (oxaliplatin and 5‑fluorouracil combined with epirubicin) as first‑line chemotherapy. The present retrospective study enrolled 108 Chinese patients with MGC receiving EOF as first‑line chemotherapy, and genotyped six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four hypoxia‑associated genes [myoglobin (MB) rs7292 and rs7293, ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily G Member 2 rs2231142, MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) rs1800734 and rs9852810, and Poly(ADP‑Ribose) Polymerase 1 rs1136410]. The results of the present study indicated that the CT/TT genotype of MB rs7292, as well as the GG genotype of MLH1 rs9852810, were independent favorable predictive factors of progression‑free survival [PFS; MB rs7292: hazard ratio (HR)=0.135, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.057‑0.321, P<0.001; MLH1 rs9852810: HR=0.494, 95% CI=0.267‑0.913, P=0.024). Using a prognostic index based on the favorable SNPs for PFS (MB rs7292 CT/TT genotype, and MLH1 rs9852810 GG genotype), patients were classified into a low‑risk group (involving one or two of the two SNPs) and a high‑risk group (involving neither of the two SNPs), with a PFS of 180.0 and 117.0 days, respectively (P=0.002). The results of the present study demonstrated that the CT/TT genotype of MB rs7292 and the GG genotype of MLH1 rs9852810 were independent favorable predictive factors of PFS in patients with MGC treated with EOF. Identification of those SNPs in blood samples may allow for the prediction of the short‑term efficacy of first‑line EOF treatment in patients with MGC.
