A polymorphism in the nuclear receptor coactivator 7 gene and breast cancer susceptibility.

ABSTRACT: The nuclear receptor coactivator 7 (NCoA7) gene codes for an estrogen receptor-associated protein that plays a significant role in the cellular response to estrogens. Given that NCoA7 is expressed in the mammary gland, alterations in this gene may affect breast cancer risk. In this study, we compared the genotype and allele frequencies of the missense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1567, located in the coding region of the NCoA7 gene and resulting in an amino acid exchange from asparagine to glutamine, in 305 women with sporadic breast cancer and 346 women without any malignancy. Statistical analysis of the observed frequencies did not reveal a significant difference between the cancer and control groups, nor did a comparison between histological breast cancer subgroups. In conclusion, the results of our phenotype-genotype association study indicate that NCoA7 SNP rs1567 does not affect breast cancer susceptibility.

Toll-like receptor 5 gene polymorphism is associated with breast cancer susceptibility.

Project description:Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) plays a fundamental role in immune responses. Recent findings suggest the TLR5 expression level affects cancer progression and development. In the present study, our examination of 256 breast carcinomas specimens revealed that TLR5 is overexpressed in breast carcinomas, and that TLR5 overexpression correlated with lymph node metastasis and cancer grade (p<0.01). In a case-control study, we also analyzed associations between TLR5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and breast cancer risk. Compared were 516 Chinese Han women diagnosed mainly with infiltrative ductal carcinoma and 520 age-matched healthy controls. The nonsense SNP rs5744168 causes truncation of the TLR5 transmembrane signaling domain and was associated with breast cancer risk (p<0.05). However, no statistical association was detected between SNP rs5744168 and any of the clinical parameters tested. Our findings thus indicate that TLR5 SNP rs5744168 is associated with sporadic breast cancer occurrence.

Nuclear Receptor Coactivator NCOA3 Regulates UV Radiation-Induced DNA Damage and Melanoma Susceptibility.

Project description:Melanoma occurs as a consequence of inherited susceptibility to the disease and exposure to UV radiation (UVR) and is characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation and a high mutational load. The precise mechanisms by which UVR contributes to the development of melanoma remain poorly understood. Here we show that activation of nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCOA3) promotes melanomagenesis through regulation of UVR sensitivity, cell-cycle progression, and circumvention of the DNA damage response (DDR). Downregulation of NCOA3 expression, either by genetic silencing or small-molecule inhibition, significantly suppressed melanoma proliferation in melanoma cell lines and patient-derived xenografts. NCOA3 silencing suppressed expression of xeroderma pigmentosum C and increased melanoma cell sensitivity to UVR. Suppression of NCOA3 expression led to activation of DDR effectors and reduced expression of cyclin B1, resulting in G2-M arrest and mitotic catastrophe. A SNP in NCOA3 (T960T) reduced NCOA3 protein expression and was associated with decreased melanoma risk, given a significantly lower prevalence in a familial melanoma cohort than in a control cohort without cancer. Overexpression of wild-type NCOA3 promoted melanocyte survival following UVR and was accompanied by increased levels of UVR-induced DNA damage, both of which were attenuated by overexpression of NCOA3 (T960T). These results describe NCOA3-regulated pathways by which melanoma can develop, with germline NCOA3 polymorphisms enabling enhanced melanocyte survival in the setting of UVR exposure, despite an increased mutational burden. They also identify NCOA3 as a novel therapeutic target for melanoma. SIGNIFICANCE: This study explores NCOA3 as a regulator of the DDR and a therapeutic target in melanoma, where activation of NCOA3 contributes to melanoma development following exposure to ultraviolet light.

Reduction in breast cancer susceptibility due to <i>XbaI</i> gene polymorphism of alpha estrogen receptor gene in Jordanians.

Project description:Breast cancer is a global health concern among women worldwide. Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) mediates diverse polymorphic effects in breast tissues that may relate to breast cancer susceptibility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of -397 PvuII (T/C) and -351 XbaI (A/G) restriction fragment length polymorphism within intron 1 of ERα, and its effect on breast cancer susceptibility. A total of 156 women who were histopathologically diagnosed with breast cancer and 142 healthy Jordanian women were enrolled in this case-control study. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole peripheral blood, and the desired fragment was amplified using polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction digestion with PvuII and XbaI restriction enzymes. The results showed no significant association between PvuII polymorphism and breast cancer risk. However, a significant association was found between XbaI polymorphism and reduction in breast cancer risk within the "x" allele of heterozygotes (odds ratio [OR] 0.199, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.09-0.044) and heterozygotes (OR 0.208, 95% CI 0.09-0.047). The combined analysis of PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms revealed a synergistic effect of Pp/Xx and pp/xx genotypes and a significant reduction in breast cancer risk with these genotypes. The results also showed no statistical differences among PvuII or XbaI polymorphisms based on stage, ER, progesterone receptor and expression of hormone receptor such as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. This case-control study showed that XbaI polymorphism of alpha estrogen gene modified and reduced breast cancer susceptibility among Jordanians.

The rs9340799 polymorphism of the estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) gene and its association with breast cancer susceptibility.

Project description:The ESR1 rs9340799 polymorphism has been frequently investigated with regard to its association with breast cancer (BC) susceptibility, but the findings have been inconclusive. In this work, we aimed to address the inconsistencies in study findings by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eligible studies were identified from the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP and Wanfang databases based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratio (OR) was then calculated under five genetic models: homozygous (GG vs. AA), heterozygous (AG vs. AA), dominant (AG + GG vs. AA), recessive (GG vs. AA + AG) and allele (G vs. A). Combined results from 23 studies involving 34,721 subjects indicated a lack of significant association between the polymorphism and BC susceptibility (homozygous model, OR = 1.045, 95% CI 0.887-1.231, P = 0.601; heterozygous model, OR = 0.941, 95% CI 0.861-1.030, P = 0.186; dominant model, OR = 0.957, 95% CI 0.875-1.045, P = 0.327; recessive model, OR = 1.053, 95% CI 0.908-1.222, P = 0.495; allele model, OR = 0.987, 95% CI 0.919-1.059, P = 0.709). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity, menopausal status and study quality also revealed no statistically significant association (P > 0.05). In conclusion, our results showed that the ESR1 rs9340799 polymorphism was not associated with BC susceptibility, suggesting its limited potential as a genetic marker for BC.

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and signaling controlled by a nuclear receptor coactivator, amplified in breast cancer 1.

Project description:The steroid receptor coactivator amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) as well as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family members are frequently overexpressed in epithelial tumors, and their expression is associated with poor prognosis. However, a direct role of AIB1 in EGF signaling has not been determined. To address this, we reduced endogenous AIB1 levels using RNA interference in lung, breast, and pancreatic cancer cell lines. We found that a knockdown of AIB1 levels resulted in a loss of the growth response of these cell lines to EGF. Further analysis revealed that the depletion of AIB1 reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR at multiple residues both at autophosphorylation and Src kinase phosphorylation sites. AIB1 knockdown did not affect tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor tyrosine kinases, platelet-derived growth factor receptor and HER3, or overall tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins. However, EGF-dependent phosphorylation of HER2 was decreased. EGFR levels and membrane trafficking were not changed by AIB1 depletion, but there was less recruitment of Src homology 2 domain-containing proteins to the EGFR. This led to a substantial reduction in EGF-induced phosphorylation of signal transducers and activators of transcription 5 and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase but no significant change in the activation of AKT. Vanadate treatment of cells revealed that the reduction in EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation is dependent in part on changes in cellular phosphatase activity. We propose that a portion of the oncogenic effect of AIB1 could be through control of EGFR and HER2 activity and subsequent modulation of cellular signaling pathways.

Nuclear receptor coactivator RAC3 inhibits autophagy.

Project description:RAC3 is an oncogene naturally overexpressed in several tumors. Besides its role as coactivator, it can exert several protumoral cytoplasmic actions. Autophagy was found to act either as a tumor suppressor during the early stages of tumor development, or as a protector of the tumor cell in later stages under hypoxic conditions. We found that RAC3 overexpression inhibits autophagy when induced by starvation or rapamycin and involves RAC3 nuclear translocation-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Moreover, hypoxia inhibits the RAC3 gene expression leading to the autophagy process, allowing tumor cells to survive until angiogenesis occurs. The interplay between RAC3, hypoxia, and autophagy could be an important mechanism for tumor progression and a good target for a future anticancer therapy.

Association of leptin receptor gene Gln223Arg polymorphism with susceptibility to colorectal cancer.

Project description:AimLeptin is a 16 kDa polypeptide hormone which secreted by adipose tissue and has an important role in energy balance, insulin pathway and inflammation, because of that it may play an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC). Leptin exerts its effect through the leptin receptor (LEPR) a member of the class I cytokine receptor family.BackgroundWe have investigated whether glutamine to arginine substitution (Gln223Arg) in exon 6 of the leptin receptor gene, has implications for susceptibility to CRC.Patients and methodsPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction enzyme digestion (RFLP) was performed to evaluate the association between the Gln223Arg polymorphism of the LEPR and CRC risk in a case-control study in 346 subjects involving 173 cases with CRC and 173 controls.ResultsThere was no statistically evidence of significant difference in genotype and allele frequencies between the cases with CRC and controls for the Gln223Arg polymorphism of LEPR, before or after adjusting for confounders (age, BMI, sex, and smoking status). Furthermore, no significant difference was observed between the CRC cases and controls by BMI, sex and smoking status.ConclusionOur findings suggest that the LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphism is not associated with the risk of CRC in Iranian population.

GAC63, a GRIP1-dependent nuclear receptor coactivator.

Project description:Nuclear receptors (NRs) regulate target gene transcription through the recruitment of multiple coactivator complexes to the promoter regions of target genes. One important coactivator complex includes a p160 coactivator (GRIP1, SRC-1, or ACTR) and its downstream coactivators (e.g., p300, CARM1, CoCoA, and Fli-I), which contribute to transcriptional activation by protein acetylation, protein methylation, and protein-protein interactions. In this study, we identified a novel NR coactivator, GAC63, which binds to the N-terminal region of p160 coactivators as well as the ligand binding domains of some NRs. GAC63 enhanced transcriptional activation by NRs in a hormone-dependent and GRIP1-dependent manner in transient transfection assays and cooperated synergistically and selectively with other NR coactivators, including GRIP1 and CARM1, to enhance estrogen receptor function. Endogenous GAC63 was recruited to the estrogen-responsive pS2 gene promoter of MCF-7 cells in response to the hormone. Reduction of the endogenous GAC63 level by small interfering RNA inhibited transcriptional activation by the hormone-activated estrogen receptor. Thus, GAC63 is a physiologically relevant part of the p160 coactivator signaling pathway that mediates transcriptional activation by NRs.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 gene (<i>FGFR2</i>) rs2981582T/C polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer in Saudi women.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 is a protein encoded by FGFR2 gene and plays an important role in cellular growth. This study was conducted to investigate a potential association of FGFR2 rs2981582 with breast cancer. DNA was obtained from 137 Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumors and 98 normal breast tissue samples. Genotypes were carried out with PCR-RFLP. The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the power of the associations. A significant association between FGFR2 rs2981582 C allele and susceptibility to breast cancer was found (p-value < 0.0001, Odds Ratio = 2.3, %95 CI (1.5-3.0). No significant differences in FGFR2 rs2981582 genotypes and alleles distribution among breast patients with different hormonal receptor status (p > 0.05) were detected. However, a significant difference was found in genotypes and alleles distribution in ER+, PR- and HER2 between breast cancer cases and controls. This study showed an association of FGFR2 rs2981582T/C with breast cancer in Saudi women, further large study is required to validate the results.

μ-Opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) polymorphism in patients with breast cancer.

Project description:Structure-dependent μ-opioid receptor (MOR) activity is an important element in cancer opioid analgesic effectiveness. It is widely accepted that guanine (G) substitution for adenine (A) at OPRM1 gene sequence position 118 changes receptor glycosylation pattern. This is associated with decreased binding ability in both exogenous and endogenous opioids, resulting in increased human pain resistance. The endogenous opioid system's function in body homeostasis maintenance is considered mainly regulatory, so its participation in breast tumor formation and progression is identified herein. We examine the association of the most frequent MOR (A118G) gene polymorphism on breast cancer risk in a Northeastern Polish population by PCR-RFLP comparison of A and G allele frequency at OPRM1 gene A118G polymorphic site in breast cancer-diagnosed patients with healthy control group frequencies. Our results highlight a strong association between G allele presence at μ-opioid receptor A118G and increased breast cancer incidence (OR = 3.3, 95 % CI 2.2-5.0, p < 0.0001) and female gender (OR = 2.0, 95 % CI 1.4-2.9, p = 0.0004). Consequently, OPRM1 G allele presence at that site is a highly significant risk factor in breast cancer development.
