Single-nucleotide polymorphism (c.309T>G) in the MDM2 gene and lung cancer risk.

ABSTRACT: Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is a negative regulator of p53. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs2279744: c.309T>G) in the promoter region of the MDM2 gene has been shown to result in higher levels of MDM2 RNA and protein. Regarding the contribution of c.309T>G in the MDM2 gene to the lung cancer risk, previous studies are conflicting. In order to evaluate the association between c.309T>G and the lung cancer risk, a case-control study was performed. The MDM2 genotypes were determined in 762 lung cancer patients and in 700 cancer-free control subjects using the Smart Amplification Process. Statistical adjustment was performed for gender, age and pack-years of smoking. The distributions of c.309T>G (T/T, T/G, G/G) were 20.1, 49.7, 30.2% in the case group and 21.7, 47.9, 30.4% in the healthy-control group. There were no overall associations between the MDM2 genotypes and the risk of lung cancer [T/G genotype: Adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 1.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.88-1.93; and G/G genotype: AOR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.78-1.80]. The subgroup analysis of gender, histology, smoking status and epidermal growth factor receptor mutation status also indicated that there was no association with lung cancer. Additionally, the genotypes did not have an effect on the age at the time of diagnosis of lung cancer (P=0.25). In conclusion, the G allele frequency in the lung cancer cases was 0.551, which was similar to other studies. The results of the present study suggest that the c.309T>G is not significantly associated with lung cancer.

Project description:Background and Purpose- The E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 (murine double minute 2) is the main negative regulator of the p53 protein-a key player in neuronal apoptosis after ischemia. A functional single-nucleotide polymorphism in the human MDM2 gene promoter (rs2279744) regulates MDM2 protein expression. We investigated whether the MDM2 SNP309, by controlling p53-mediated apoptosis, determines functional outcome after stroke. Methods- Primary cortical neurons were subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation. Mice were subjected to ischemic (transient middle cerebral artery occlusion) or hemorrhagic (collagenase injection) stroke models. Protein and mRNA levels of MDM2 and p53 were measured in both neuronal and brain extracts. The interaction of MDM2 with p53 was disrupted by neuronal treatment with nutlin-3a. siRNA was used to knockdown MDM2 expression. We analyzed the link between the MDM2 SNP309 and functional outcome, measured by the modified Rankin Scale scores, in 2 independent hospital-based stroke cohorts: ischemic stroke cohort (408 patients) and intracerebral hemorrhage cohort (128 patients). Results- Experimental stroke and oxygen and glucose deprivation induced the expression of MDM2 in the brain and neurons, respectively. Moreover, oxygen and glucose deprivation promoted MDM2 binding with p53 in neurons. Disruption of the MDM2-p53 interaction with nutlin-3a, or MDM2 knockdown by siRNA, triggered p53 accumulation, which increased neuronal susceptibility to oxygen and glucose deprivation-induced apoptosis. Finally, we showed that patients harboring the G allele in the MDM2 promoter had higher MDM2 protein levels and showed better functional outcome after stroke than those harboring the T/T genotype. The T/T genotype was also associated with large infarct volume in ischemic stroke and increased lesion volume in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Conclusions- Our results reveal a novel role for the MDM2-p53 interaction in neuronal apoptosis after ischemia and show that the MDM2 SNP309 determines the functional outcome of patients after stroke.
