IGFBP3 polymorphisms and risk of esophageal cancer in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is very aggressive with a poor prognosis. Besides environmental risk factors, genetic factors might contribute to the esophageal cancer carcinogenesis. To evaluate the association between the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and genetic variants in IGFBP3, we conducted a hospital-based case-control study to assess the genetic effects of these SNPs. A total of 380 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cases and 380 controls were recruited for this study. The genotypes were determined using a matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The IGFBP3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2270628 C>T, rs10282088 C>A, and rs3110697 G>A were associated with a significantly decreased risk of ESCC. However, our results were obtained with a limited sample size. To confirm the current findings, larger studies with other ethnic populations are required.

Project description:Objective:The main aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphisms in long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) with the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in a Chinese population. Methods:A total of 245 ESCC patients and 490 gender- and age-matched cancer-free controls were genotyped for four tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MALAT1 (rs3200401 C > T, rs1122709 C > G, rs664589 C > G, and rs619586 A > G). Statistical analyses including chi-squared test and logistic regression were performed to identify the association between the tag SNPs and risk of ESCC, and false discovery rate (FDR) <25% was applied to adjust for multiple comparisons. Results:We found that rs3200401 C > T polymorphism of MALAT1 was significantly associated with increased risk of ESCC (CT vs CC: adjusted OR =1.59, 95% CI =1.07-2.35, P=0.021; TT vs CC: adjusted OR =2.27, 95% CI =1.04-4.96, P=0.039; dominant model [CT+TT vs CC]: adjusted OR =1.68, 95% CI =1.16-2.43, P=0.006). In the stratified analysis, rs3200401 TT and CT/TT genotypes were associated with increased risk of ESCC compared with CC genotype in subgroup of never drinking (TT vs CC: adjusted OR =2.34, 95% CI =1.02-5.34, P=0.044; CT/TT vs CC: adjusted OR =1.52, 95% CI =1.02-2.26, P=0.041). However, compared with AA genotype, MALAT1 rs619586 GG was associated with decreased risk of ESCC in ever drinking subgroup (GG vs AA: adjusted OR =0.38, 95% CI =0.15-0.99, P=0.049). The results remained significant after FDR adjustment (FDR value <0.25) except for the comparison between rs619586 GG and AA genotype in ever drinking subgroup. Conclusion:Taken together, our findings proposed that polymorphism rs3200401 C > T in MALAT1 gene is associated with increased risk of ESCC. Since the association between rs619586 A > G polymorphism and ESCC risk was not significant after FDR adjustment, there was a minor possibility that rs619586 A > G might be a protective factor for ESCC.

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is very common in China and is also one of the most common cancers worldwide. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between genetic variants of various cancer-related genes and the risk of ESCC.In this study, we first examined the association between 18 potentially disruptive genetic variants of 17 genes, including alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (ADH4) and checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2), and ESCC risk in a Hangzhou population of 617 patients matched with 534 controls. Among the 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), two were validated in a Jinan population of 540 patients matched with 550 controls.Sixteen SNPs in 15 genes, including CHEK2, did not have significantly different allele frequency distributions between ESCC patients and control subjects. A significantly increased risk of developing ESCC was revealed in subjects with the AA genotype of rs3805322 (ADH4) compared with those with the AG or GG genotype by unconditional univariate logistic regression analysis. Using a dominant model, the CC genotype of rs4822983 (CHEK2) had a marginally significant protective effect compared to the CT and TT genotypes. The association of ESCC risk with these two SNPs (rs3805322 and rs4822983) was further validated in a Jinan case-control set. Individuals with the ADH4 rs3805322 AA or AG genotype had ORs of 1.10 (95% CI = 0.81-1.49, P < 0.001) or 1.86 (95% CI = 1.33-2.59, P = 0.559), respectively, for developing ESCC compared with individuals with the GG genotype. CHEK2 rs4822983 CC carriers showed a marginally significantly decreased ESCC risk compared with those carrying the CT and TT genotypes in the validation set (95% CI = 0.61-1.01, P = 0.064). However, no evidence of interaction existed between the two SNPs and smoking or drinking in the Jinan case-control set.In conclusion, this current study provides substantial evidence that genetic polymorphisms of rs3805322 in the ADH4 gene may be associated with an increased risk of developing ESCC in two Chinese Han populations. Future studies to address the biological function of this polymorphism in the development of ESCC are warranted.
