Hsa-miR-34b/c rs4938723 T>C and hsa-miR-423 rs6505162 C>A polymorphisms are associated with the risk of esophageal cancer in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer and sixth leading cause of cancer associated death worldwide. Besides environmental risk factors, genetic factors might play an important role in the esophageal cancer carcinogenesis. We conducted a hospital based case-control study to evaluate the genetic susceptibility of functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the microRNAs on the development of esophageal cancer. A total of 629 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cases and 686 controls were recruited for this study. The hsa-miR-34b/c rs4938723 T>C, pri-miR-124-1 rs531564 C>G, pre-miR-125a rs12975333 G>T and hsa-miR-423 rs6505162 C>A genotypes were determined using Ligation Detection Reaction (LDR) method. Our results demonstrated that hsa-miR-34b/c rs4938723 CC genotype had a decreased risk of ESCC. The association was evident among patients who never drinking. Hsa-miR-423 rs6505162 C>A might associated with a significantly increased risk of ESCC in patients who smoking. These findings indicated that functional polymorphisms hsa-miR-34b/c rs4938723 T>C and hsa-miR-423 rs6505162 C>A might alter individual susceptibility to ESCC. However, our results were obtained with a limited sample size. Future larger studies with other ethnic populations are required to confirm current findings.

Project description:BackgroundAneuploidy pregnancy is a severe major birth defect and causes about 50% spontaneous miscarriages with unknown etiology. To date, only a few epidemiological studies with small sample sizes have investigated the risk factors for aneuploidy pregnancy. TP53, MDM2, and miR-34b/c genes are implicated in tumorigenesis with aneuploidy, yet the function of their polymorphisms in aneuploidy pregnancy susceptibility needs to be clarified.ObjectiveTo elucidate the association of TP53 rs1042522 G > C, MDM2 rs2279744 309 T > G, and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C specific polymorphisms with aneuploidy pregnancy.MethodsIn the retrospective case-control study, 330 aneuploidies pregnancy women and 813 normal pregnancy controls were recruited between January 2018 and April 2022 at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, Kunming, China. Three functional polymorphisms, the TP53 rs1042522 G > C (Arg72Pro), MDM2 rs2279744 309 T > G, and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C, were genotyped using the snapshot method.ResultsThe frequency distribution of three genotypic variants was not different between case and control pregnant women and was similar to with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). However, in the younger subgroup (less than 35 years old), a significant difference was detected in allele and recessive model (p = 0.01). In the advanced age subgroup (more than or equal to 35 years old), G of MDM2 rs2279744 T > G revealed a significantly higher frequency in cases than controls (p = 0.045), and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C revealed a significant difference under the dominant model (p = 0.03), but no significant differences were observed in other models and in both younger and older subgroup (p > 0.05, respectively). These results suggest that individual polymorphisms were not associated with aneuploidy pregnancy, combined with age, they may serve as a risk factor for aneuploidy pregnancy.ConclusionCombination of TP53 rs1042522 G > C, MDM2 rs2279744 T > G, and miR-34b/c rs4938723 T > C polymorphisms with maternal age may be related to aneuploidy pregnancy susceptibility. These findings might elaborate on the genetic etiology of aneuploidy pregnancy.
