Mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase polymorphisms are associated with breast cancer in Poland.

ABSTRACT: Complex I NADH-oxidoreductase-ubiquinone transports reducing equivalents from the reduced form of NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q-CoQ). The purpose of this study was to analyze mutations in MT-ND1, MT-ND2, MT-ND3 and MT-ND6 genes and their effect on the biochemical properties, structure and functioning of proteins in patients with breast tumours. In research materials, in 50 patients, 28 total polymorphisms and five mutations were detected. Most detected polymorphisms (50 %, 14/28) were observed in MT-ND2 gene. Most of them were silent mutations. Five polymorphisms (m.G3916A, m.C4888T, m.A4918G, m.C5363T, m.C10283T) do not exist in the database. A total of five mutations in 13 patients (13/50) were detected, including two not described in the literature: m.C4987G and m.T10173C. It cannot be excluded that, through the mutations and polymorphism impact on the protein structure, they may cause mitochondrial dysfunction and contribute to the appearance of other changes in mtDNA. The results of our study indicate the presence of homological changes in the sequence of mtDNA in both breast cancer and in some mitochondrial diseases. Mutations in the examined genes in breast cancer may affect the cell and cause its dysfunction, as is the case in mitochondrial diseases.

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that mitochondrial DNA alterations contribute to cancer development and progression. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between polymorphisms of mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 3 (MTND3) and the risk of gastric cancer (GC). Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs28358278, rs2853826, rs201397417, rs41467651, and rs28358275) were identified and genotyped in 377 patients with GC patients and 363 controls by direct sequencing. The rs41467651 T allele was significantly associated with GC risk [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.25-3.55, P = 0.005). In stratified analysis, rs28358278, rs2853826, and rs41467651 were associated with subgroups of GC, with the rs28358278 G, rs2853826 T, and rs41467651 T alleles associated with an increased GC risk in females (adjusted OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.08-2.69, P = 0.023; adjusted OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.11-2.85, P = 0.016; adjusted OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.04-4.12, P = 0.038, respectively). The rs441467651 T allele was also related with GC risk in diffuse-type subjects compared to that of controls (adjusted OR = 2.61, 95% CI = 1.43-4.89, P = 0.002). In addition, The rs441467651 T allele was significantly related with increased GC risk regardless of lymph node metastasis (LNM), T classification, and tumor stage compared to that of controls (adjusted OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.12-3.55, P = 0.019 in LNM-negative subjects; adjusted OR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.05-4.22, P = 0.0379 in LNM-positive subjects; adjusted OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.02-3.24, P = 0.042 in T1/T2 subjects; adjusted OR = 2.60, 95% CI = 1.29-5.24, P = 0.007 in T3/T4 subjects; adjusted OR = 1.91, 95% CI = 1.09-3.34, P = 0.025 in tumor stage I (A+B)/II (A+B+C) subjects; adjusted OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.12-5.13, P = 0.025 in tumor stage III (A+B+C) subjects) compared to that of controls. Our findings suggest that the rs28358278, rs2853826, and rs41467651 polymorphisms of MTND3 increase the susceptibility to GC development.
