CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 polymorphisms in relation to tumour characteristics and early breast cancer related events among 652 breast cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: CYP2C8/9 polymorphisms may influence breast cancer-free survival after diagnosis due to their role in the metabolism of tamoxifen, paclitaxel, and other chemotherapy. cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C8/9 metabolise arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, which enhance migration and invasion in vitro and promote angiogenesis in vivo. We aimed to investigate the frequency of CYP2C8/9 polymorphisms in relation to breast tumour characteristics and disease-free survival. METHODS: A prospective series of 652 breast cancer patients from southern Sweden was genotyped for CYP2C8*3, CYP2C8*4, CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3. Blood samples and questionnaires were obtained pre- and postoperatively. Clinical information and tumour characteristics were obtained from patients' charts and pathology reports. RESULTS: Frequencies of CYP2C8/9 polymorphisms were similar to healthy European populations. Significantly less node involvement (P=0.002) and fewer PR+ tumours (P=0.012) were associated with CYP2C8*4. Median follow-up was 25 months and 52 breast cancer-related events were reported. In a multivariate model, CYP2C8/9*3/*1*/*2/*1 was the only factor associated with increased risk for early events in 297 tamoxifen-treated, ER-positive patients, adjusted HR 2.54 (95%CI 1.11-5.79). The effect appeared to be driven by CYP2C8*3, adjusted HR 8.56 (95%CI 1.53-51.1). CONCLUSION: Polymorphic variants of CYP2C8/9 may influence breast tumour characteristics and disease-free survival in tamoxifen-treated patients.

Project description:Background Genetic diversity of cytochrome P450 2C subfamily metabolizing epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, vasoactive substances with a wide range of biological actions in the cardiovascular system, contributes to the molecular basis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Association between genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C8, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 and CAD risk has been extensively investigated in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other Asian populations whereas a few studies have been done in Europeans. The present study investigated whether common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP2C8, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 genes are important risk factors of CAD in a Russian population. Methods DNA samples from 1,255 unrelated subjects comprising 561 patients with angiographically diagnosed CAD and 694 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were genotyped for six SNPs such as rs7909236, rs1934953 of CYP2C8, rs9332242, rs4918758 and rs61886769 of CYP2C9 and rs4244285 of CYP2C19 using by the Mass-ARRAY 4 system. Results SNP rs4918758 of CYP2C9 was associated with decreased risk of CAD with odds ratio 0.61 adjusted for sex and age (codominant genetic model, 95% CI: 0.41–0.92, P=0.038, Q =0.20). Log-likelihood ratio test pointed out epistatic interactions between SNPs rs9332242 and rs61886769 of CYP2C9 at a codominant genetic model (Pinteraction =0.02). Moreover, SNP rs9332242 of CYP2C9 showed a trend towards association with increased CAD risk in cigarette smokers (P=0.049, Q =0.29). Bioinformatic analysis using the SNP prediction tool revealed a regulatory potential for all SNPs associated with CAD. Conclusions To our knowledge, the present study is the first to show that polymorphisms rs4918758 and rs9332242 of CYP2C9 represent significant genetic markers of CAD susceptibility in Europeans. A validation of genetic markers associated with CAD risk in different races and ethnicities may cut corners between discovery and clinical qualification of such markers for the purposes of translational medicine. The study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation.
