Genetic association between interluekin-4 rs2243250 polymorphism and gastric cancer susceptibility: evidence based on a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Numerous studies have suggested that the interleukin-4 (IL-4) rs2243250 polymorphism is associated with gastric cancer susceptibility. However, the results were inconsistent. Hence, we carried out a meta-analysis to confirm the conclusion.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang Data to identify relevant studies up to August 20, 2015. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the association between IL-4 rs2243250 polymorphism and gastric cancer susceptibility. All the statistical analyses were performed with Stata 12.0 software.

Results

A total of eleven published case-control studies were identified, including 2,247 gastric cancer patients and 3,370 controls. Overall, no significant association between IL-4 rs2243250 polymorphism and gastric cancer susceptibility was observed in this meta-analysis (T vs C: OR =1.05, 95% CI =0.95-1.17; TT vs CC: OR =1.20, 95% CI =0.89-1.63; CT vs CC: OR =1.14, 95% CI =0.87-1.48; TT + CT vs CC: OR =1.13, 95% CI =0.89-1.44; TT vs CT + CC: OR =1.02, 95% CI =0.88-1.20). Similar results were found in subgroup analyses according to ethnicity and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in controls.

Conclusion

This meta-analysis suggests that IL-4 rs2243250 polymorphism may not be associated with gastric cancer susceptibility. Further studies are needed to validate this conclusion.

Project description:ObjectivePrevious studies have reported an association between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) polymorphism and gastric cancer (GC) susceptibility, but their results are controversial. This meta-analysis was intended to evaluate the relationship between the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism and GC susceptibility in different ethnic groups.MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) for relevant case-control studies published up to October 6, 2018, which reported an association between the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism and gastric cancer risk. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of this association.Results15 papers detailing case-control studies were included in the analysis, which included a total of 2848 GC cases and 4962 healthy controls. The meta-analysis results indicated that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism was associated with increased GC susceptibility under allele (G vs C: OR = 1.67, 95%CI = 1.19-2.35, P = .003), heterozygous (GG vs CG: OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.03-2.02, P = .034), dominant (GC+CC vs GG: OR = 1.66, 95%CI = 1.18-2.34, P = .004), homozygous (GG vs CC:OR = 2.20, 95%CI = 1.07-4.54, P = .033), and recessive models (CC vs GG+CG:OR = 2.05, 95%CI = 1.09-3.85, P = .025). An analysis of ethnic subgroups revealed that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism was significantly associated with GC susceptibility in Asians under all 5 models (G vs C: OR = 2.22, 95%CI = 1.66-2.96, P < .001; GG vs CC: OR = 4.29, 95%CI = 1.94-9.50, P < .001; GG vs CG: OR = 1.86, 95%CI = 1.34-2.58, P < .001; CC vs GG+CG: OR = 3.73, 95%CI = 1.92-7.24, P < .001; GC+CC vs GG: OR = 2.20, 95%CI = 1.65-2.93, P < .001). Helicobacter pylori positive patients suffered a high risk of GC, compared to H pylori negative patients under the dominant model (OR = 3.09, 95%CI = 1.80-5.32, P < .001).ConclusionThis meta-analysis of 15 case-control studies provides strong evidence that the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism increases the risk of GC susceptibility in general populations, especially in Asians. Helicobacter pylori positive patients and those with the COX-2 rs20417 polymorphism had a higher risk of developing GC.
