Hypothetical SNP markers that significantly affect the affinity of the TATA-binding protein to VEGFA, ERBB2, IGF1R, FLT1, KDR, and MET oncogene promoters as chemotherapy targets

详细

The following hypothesis has been proposed: IF an SNP can significantly increase the expression of an oncogene by increasing the affinity of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) to its promoter, THEN this SNP can also reduce the apparent bioactivity of inhibitors of this oncogene during antitumor chemotherapy and vice versa. In the context of this hypothesis, the previously proposed method (http://beehive.bionet.nsc. ru/cgi-bin/mgs/tatascan/start.pl) was applied to analyze all SNPs found within the [–70;–20] regions (which harbor all proven TBP-binding sites) of the promoters of VEGFA, EGFR, ERBB2, IGF1R, FLT1, KDR, and MET oncogenes according to the human reference genome, hg19. For 83% of these SNPs, their effect on TBP affinity to the oncogene promoters required for assembly of preinitiation complexes was not significant. rs36208385, rs36208384, rs370995111, rs372731987, rs111811434, rs369547510, rs76407893, rs369728300, and rs72001900 can potentially serve as SNP markers to reduce the apparent bioactivity of oncogene inhibitors, while rs141092704, rs184083669, rs145139616, rs200697953, rs187746433, rs199730913, rs377370642, rs114484350, rs374921120, rs146790957, rs376727645, and rs72001900 can be the markers for enhancing this activity.
