Association between the TGFB1 -509C/T and TGFBR2 -875A/G polymorphisms and gastric cancer: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT: The transforming growth factor-? (TGF?) pathway plays an important role in various types of human cancer. However, the role of TGFB1 -509C/T and TGFBR2 -875A/G polymorphisms in gastric cancer is controversial. We aimed to investigate the associations between these polymorphisms and gastric cancer susceptibility, clinicopathological parameters and survival. A case-control study was conducted in 1,010 gastric cancer patients and 1,500 healthy controls. Genotypes were determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing. Compared with the TT genotype, the TGFB1 -509 C allele (CT/CC) was significantly associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.58-0.87; p=0.001) and certain subtypes of gastric cancer including intestinal type (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.57-0.87; p=0.001), poorly differentiated (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.54-0.85; p=0.001) and stage TNM III+IV (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.58-0.92; p=0.008). Compared with the TGFBR2 -875 GG genotype, carriers of the A allele (AA/AG) had a significantly decreased gastric cancer risk (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.62-0.91; P<0.001). A combination of the TGFB1 -509 C and TGFBR2 -875 A alleles was associated with a further decreased risk of gastric cancer (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.32-0.57, p<0.001). No significant correlation was observed between polymorphisms and survival of gastric cancer patients. Our results suggest that both the TGFB1 -509 and TGFBR2 -875 polymorphisms contribute to a decreased gastric cancer risk. The TGFB1 -509 polymorphism affects certain subtypes of gastric cancer according to clinicopathological parameters. A combination of the TGFB1 -509 C and TGFBR2 -875 A alleles conferred a further decreased gastric cancer risk. These findings provide clues to the biological mechanisms that underline tumor heterogeneity.

Project description:ObjectivePrevious studies have reported an association between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) polymorphism and gastric cancer (GC) susceptibility, but their results are controversial. This meta-analysis was intended to evaluate the relationship between the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism and GC susceptibility in different ethnic groups.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) for relevant case-control studies published up to October 6, 2018, which reported an association between the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism and gastric cancer risk. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of this association.Results15 papers detailing case-control studies were included in the analysis, which included a total of 2848 GC cases and 4962 healthy controls. The meta-analysis results indicated that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism was associated with increased GC susceptibility under allele (G vs C: OR = 1.67, 95%CI = 1.19-2.35, P = .003), heterozygous (GG vs CG: OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.03-2.02, P = .034), dominant (GC+CC vs GG: OR = 1.66, 95%CI = 1.18-2.34, P = .004), homozygous (GG vs CC:OR = 2.20, 95%CI = 1.07-4.54, P = .033), and recessive models (CC vs GG+CG:OR = 2.05, 95%CI = 1.09-3.85, P = .025). An analysis of ethnic subgroups revealed that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism was significantly associated with GC susceptibility in Asians under all 5 models (G vs C: OR = 2.22, 95%CI = 1.66-2.96, P < .001; GG vs CC: OR = 4.29, 95%CI = 1.94-9.50, P < .001; GG vs CG: OR = 1.86, 95%CI = 1.34-2.58, P < .001; CC vs GG+CG: OR = 3.73, 95%CI = 1.92-7.24, P < .001; GC+CC vs GG: OR = 2.20, 95%CI = 1.65-2.93, P < .001). Helicobacter pylori positive patients suffered a high risk of GC, compared to H pylori negative patients under the dominant model (OR = 3.09, 95%CI = 1.80-5.32, P < .001).ConclusionThis meta-analysis of 15 case-control studies provides strong evidence that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism increases the risk of GC susceptibility in general populations, especially in Asians. Helicobacter pylori positive patients and those with the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism had a higher risk of developing GC.
