Association between MCP-1 -2518A/G polymorphism and cancer risk: evidence from 19 case-control studies.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may affect the development of diseases. The -2518A/G polymorphism in the regulatory region of the monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene has been reported to be associated with cancer risk. However, the results of previous studies were inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to obtain a more precise estimation of the relationship between the -2518A/G polymorphism and cancer risk. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:We performed a meta-analysis, including 4,162 cases and 5,173 controls, to evaluate the strength of the association between the -2518A/G polymorphism and cancer risk. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess the strength of association. Overall, the results indicated that the -2518A/G polymorphism was not statistically associated with cancer risk. However, sub-group analysis revealed that individuals with GG genotypes showed an increased risk of cancer in digestive system compared with carriers of the A allele (GG vs. AA: OR = 1.43, 95%CI = 1.05-1.96, P(heterogeneity) = 0.08; GG vs. AG/AA:OR = 1.29, 95%CI = 1.02-1.64, P(heterogeneity) = 0.14). In addition, the increased risk of GG genotype was also observed in Caucasians (GG vs. AG/AA:OR = 1.81, 95%CI = 1.10-2.96, P(heterogeneity) = 0.02). CONCLUSION:This meta-analysis suggests that the MCP-1 -2518A/G polymorphism may have some relation to digestive system cancer susceptibility or cancer development in Caucasian. Large-scale and well-designed case-control studies are needed to validate the findings.

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.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Several published studies have investigated the association between the -308G/A (rs1800629) polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) gene and the risk of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, the TNF-? gene polymorphism has a controversial role in the pathogenesis of DCM among different populations. In the present study, a meta-analysis was performed to resolve this inconsistency. METHODS:Potentially eligible papers reporting an association between the TNF-? rs1800629 polymorphism and DCM susceptibility were searched in 4 databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), and the Cochrane Library up to April 1, 2018. The odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to estimate the strength of the associations. Subgroup analysis based on the ethnicity, studies with or without ischemic and valvular DCM was conducted. Publication bias detection was conducted using Begg test. RESULTS:Nine papers detailing case-control studies were included, reporting a total of 1339 DCM cases and 1677 healthy controls. The meta-analysis results indicated that TNF-? rs1800629 was associated with increased DCM susceptibility in the populations studied under the heterozygous model (AG vs GG: OR?=?1.91, 95% CI?=?1.05-3.50, P?=?.035) and dominant model (AG?+?AA vs GG: OR?=?1.87, 95% CI?=?1.01-3.45, P?=?.046). In the subgroup analysis for ethnicity, rs1800629 polymorphism was significantly associated with the susceptibility of DCM for Asians under the 5 models (A vs G: OR?=?2.87, 95% CI?=?1.56-5.30, P?=?.001; AA vs GG: OR?=?3.95, 95% CI?=?1.13-13.82, P?=?0.031; AG vs GG: OR?=?3.8, 95% CI?=?1.57-9.19, P?=?.003; AA vs GG?+?AG: OR?=?2.51, 95% CI?=?1.41-4.49, P?=?.002; AG?+?AA vs GG: OR?=?3.77, 95% CI?=?1.54-9.20, P?=?.004). CONCLUSION:There may be a moderate association between TNF-? rs1800629 polymorphism and DCM susceptibility in the whole populations studied; however, TNF-? rs1800629 polymorphism was significantly associated with the susceptibility of DCM for Asians, which indicates that such associations may be different between ethnicities.
