Significant association between functional microRNA polymorphisms and head and neck cancer susceptibility: a comprehensive meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Molecular epidemiological studies have showed a closer association between microRNA polymorphisms with and head and neck cancer (HNC) risk. But the results of these studies were inconsistent. We performed this meta-analysis to clarify the associations between microRNA polymorphisms and HNC risk. Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang) were searched. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between microRNA-146a rs2910164 G > C, microRNA-196a2 rs11614913 C > T, microRNA-149 rs2292832 C > T, microRNA-499 rs3746444 A > G polymorphisms and HNC risk. Heterogeneity, publication bias and sensitivity analysis were conducted to guarantee the statistical power. Overall, 11 selected articles involving 16100 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. Significantly increased risk between microRNA-146a rs2910164 G > C polymorphism and HNC risk were observed in Caucasian population (GC vs. GG: OR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.01-1.68; GC + CC vs. GG: OR = 1.26, 95%CI = 1.02-1.57). For microRNA-196a2 rs11614913 C > T, similarly increased risk were also found in Asian population (T vs. C, OR = 1.14, 95%CI = 1.04-1.25; TT vs. CC, OR = 1.33, 95%CI = 1.09-1.61; CT + TT vs. CC OR = 1.32, 95%CI = 0.99-1.76; TT vs. CC + CT, OR = 1.14, 95%CI = 0.99-1.33). In addition, no significant association was detected between microRNA-149 rs2292832 C > T and microRNA-499 rs3746444 A > G polymorphism and HNC risk. This meta-analysis demonstrates that microRNA polymorphisms are associated with HNC development based on ethnicity diversity.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The associations between RAD51 gene polymorphisms (G135C and G172T) and risk of head and neck cancer (HNC) have been investigated, but the results are controversial. The aim of this study was to provide a more precise estimation of its relationship with HNC using a meta-analysis. METHODS:Relevant studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Strict selection and exclusion criteria were determined, and the odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the strength of the association between RAD51 polymorphisms and HNC risk. RESULTS:Six studies were eligible for RAD51 G135C (1593 cases and 1719 controls), and three studies were eligible for RAD51 G172T (997 cases and 979 controls). In the overall population, significant association between RAD51 G135C polymorphism and HNC risk was observed under allele model (C vs G: OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.04-1.41, P = 0.015). In the subgroup analysis by smoking status, a significant association was found among smokers (C vs G: OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.25-2.04; GC vs GG: OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.29-4.05; GC + CC vs GG: OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.56-2.78). When stratified based on drinking status, a significant association was found among drinkers(C vs G: OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.21-2.11; GC vs GG: OR = 2.50, 95% CI = 1.16-5.38; GC + CC vs GG: OR = 2.17,95% CI = 1.56-3.01). However, no significant association with HNC risk was demonstrated when stratified based on source of control and ethnicity. For G172T polymorphism, the results showed no significant risk association in overall analysis. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the result suggested that a decreased HNC risk was found among Caucasians (T vs G: OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.72-0.95; TT vs GG: OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.46-0.84; TT vs GT + GG: OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.49-0.84). CONCLUSION:This meta-analysis suggested that RAD51 G135C is associated with increased HNC risk, especially among smokers and drinkers, while G172T polymorphism may play a protective role against HNC among Caucasians. Larger-scale and well-designed studies are needed to further clarify the association.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies on the association of X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg194Trp, Arg399Gln, and Arg280His polymorphisms with head and neck cancer (HNC) have produced inconsistent results. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of these three polymorphic variants on HNC risk.MethodsThe PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for genetic association studies on the XRCC1 Arg194Trp, Arg399Gln, and Arg280His polymorphisms and HNC risk. (The most recent search was conducted on 20 August, 2013.) Twenty-six studies were identified and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between the polymorphism and HNC by calculating combined odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals.ResultsNo significant association was found under the allelic, homozygous, heterozygote, and dominant genetic models in the overall comparison. Further, no significant association between the XRCC1 Arg399Gln and Arg280His polymorphisms and HNC risk was detected under the four genetic models in subgroup analyses based on ethnicity, cancer site, and whether or not the studies had been adjusted for cigarette smoking and alcohol. However, in stratified analyses based on cancer site, a significant association was found between the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and oral cancer under the allelic, heterozygote, and dominant models. The XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism was significantly associated with HNC risk in studies that were adjusted for smoking and alcohol under the homozygous and heterozygote models.ConclusionThe meta-analysis results suggest that the XRCC1 Arg399Gln and Arg280His polymorphisms are probably not associated with the risk of HNC, but the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism was associated with increased risk of HNC in the subgroup analysis of studies adjusted for smoking and alcohol and with increased risk of oral cancer in the stratified analyses based on cancer site. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm these findings.

Project description:BackgroundRASSF3 suppresses tumour formation through uncertain mechanisms, but it is an important gene of p53-dependent apoptosis. RASSF3 depletion impairs DNA repair after DNA damage, leading to polyploidy. The authors hypothesised that potential functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of RASSF3 are associated with risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).MethodsThe authors used a functional SNP approach to evaluate the associations between common (minor allele frequency⩾0.05), putative functional variants in RASSF3 and risk of SCCHN. Four selected such functional SNPs (rs6581580 T>G, rs7313765 G>A, rs12311754 G>C and rs1147098 T>C) in RASSF3 were identified and genotyped in 1087 patients and 1090 cancer-free controls in a non-Hispanic white population.ResultsThe authors found that two SNPs were significantly associated with SCCHN risk. Carriers of the variant rs6581580G and rs7313765A alleles were at a reduced SCCHN risk, compared with the corresponding common homozygotes [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=0.75 and 0.73 and 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.62-0.91 and 0.60-0.88, respectively, for dominant models; and Ptrend=0.012 and 0.041, respectively, for additive models], particularly for non-oropharyngeal tumours (adjusted OR=0.68 and 0.60 and 95% CI=0.53-0.86 and 0.47-0.77, respectively, for dominant models). In the genotype-phenotype correlation analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 102 cancer-free controls, the rs6581580 GG genotype was associated with significantly increased expression levels of RASSF3 mRNA (P=0.038), compared with the TT genotype. Additional functional experiments further showed that variant G allele of rs6581580 had a significantly stronger binding affinity to the nuclear protein extracts than the T allele.ConclusionTaken together, these findings indicate that the RASSF3 promoter rs6581580 T>G SNP is potentially functional, modulating susceptibility to SCCHN among non-Hispanic whites. Larger replication studies are needed to confirm our findings.
