The functional TP53 rs1042522 and MDM4 rs4245739 genetic variants contribute to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk.

ABSTRACT: As a heterogeneous kind of malignances, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common hematologic cancer worldwide with the significantly increased morbidity in China. Accumulated evidences demonstrated that oncoprotein MDM4 plays a crucial role in the TP53 tumor suppressor signaling pathway. An rs4245739 A>C polymorphism locating in the MDM4 3'-untranslated region creates a miR-191 target site and results in allele-specific MDM4 expression. In this study, we examined the association between this polymorphism as well as the TP53 Arg72Pro (rs1042522 G>C) genetic variant and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) risk in a Chinese Han population. Genotypes were determined in 200 NHL cases and 400 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression. We found significantly increased NHL risk among carriers of the TP53 72Pro allele compared with those with the 72Arg allele (P?=?0.002 for the Pro/Pro genotype). We also observed a significantly decreased NHL risks among carriers of the MDM4 rs4245739 C allele compared with those with the A allele in Chinese (P?=?0.014 for the AC genotype). Stratified analyses revealed the associations between these SNPs and NHL risk are especially noteworthy in young or male individuals. Additionally, the associations are much pronounced in NHL patients with B-cell lymphomas or grade 3 or 4 disease. Our results indicate that the TP53 Arg72Pro and the MDM4 rs4245739 polymorphisms contribute to NHL susceptibility and support the hypothesis that genetic variants in the TP53 pathway genes can act as important modifiers of NHL risk.

Project description:Abstract The TP53 gene encodes the p53 protein which is a nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a key role in cell cycle regulation, especially in the transition from G0 to G1. It is located on chromosome 17 at position p13.1 and found at very low levels in normal cells, but it is expressed in large quantities in damaged cells. The most frequent alterations in the TP53 gene are point mutations that cause alteration in the base sequence, resulting in a defective protein. The most frequent alteration occurs in codon 72 (rs1042522). P72R shows an exon 4 polymorphism of the TP53 gene where it there is a substitution of an arginine (Arg) by a proline (Pro). This variant is associated with sporadic thyroid cancer. In addition, codon 72 variants decrease p53’s ability to activate apoptosis and are associated with some autoimmune diseases like Graves’ disease. The codon variant 47 (rs1800371) P47S has a rare polymorphism in the p53 N-terminal transactivation domain that replaces the serine-like wild-type proline (Ser). This variant is associated with impaired pro-apoptotic p53 activity therefore also increasing the risk of cancer. In order to better understand the role of SNPs (rs1042522) and (rs1800371), based on data obtained from the NCBI dbSNP database and UniProt, we evaluated the effect of amino acid alteration on protein structure. We used bioinformatics tools such as SIFT (Sorting Intolerant from Tolerant), Align GVGD, PolyPhen-2, SNAP (Screening for nonacceptable polymorphisms), PANTHER (Protein Analysis Through Evalutionary Relationships), PredictSNP, nsSNPAnalyzer, PROVEAN, SNP & GO, PMut and MuPRO. Rs1042522 and rs1800371 bioinformatic analysis suggested that the amino acid change alters protein structure (Align GVGD tool), decreases the stability (MuPro tool) and function (SNAP) of the protein. SNPs & GO confirmed an association of these polymorphisms with different diseases. We conclude that SNPs rs1042522 and rs1800371 are important in the process of tumorigenesis, corroborating findings from our group and others that suggest that they difficult the action of p53 protein.
