Hepatitis B virus genotypes, expression quantitative trait loci for ZNRD1-AS1 and their interactions in hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Genetic variants in zinc ribbon domain-containing 1 antisense RNA 1 (ZNRD1-AS1) have been reported to be associated with development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We sought to determine the influences of ZNRD1-AS1 polymorphisms and their interactions with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes on the risk of HCC. In this study, we conducted a large population case-control study with 1,507 HBV-related HCC cases and 1,560 HBV persistent carriers. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ZNRD1-AS1 (rs3757328, rs6940552 and rs9261204) were genotyped using a TaqMan allelic discrimination assay, and the HBV genotypes were identified by multiplex PCR. We found consistently significant associations between the ZNRD1-AS1 rs6940552 and rs9261204 SNPs with an increased risk of HCC (additive genetic model: adjusted OR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.03-1.32 for rs6940552; adjusted OR =1.20, 95% CI = 1.06-1.35 for rs9261204) and found a borderline association between rs3757328 and HCC risk. Besides, we observed a dose-dependent relationship between increasing numbers of variant alleles of the SNPs and HCC risk (P for trend <0.001). Moreover, we observed a stronger combined effect of the three SNPs on HCC risk among the subjects infected with non-B genotype HBV (adjusted OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.05-1.50) compared with HBV B-related genotypes (adjusted OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.69-1.15; P= 0.029 for heterogeneity test). We also found that a multiplicative interaction between the variant alleles and the HBV genotype significantly affected HCC susceptibility (P = 0.030). Together, these results indicate that ZNRD1-AS1 may influence HCC risk accompanied by HBV genotypes.

Project description:Genetic dissection of the S rat genome has provided strong evidence for the presence of two interacting blood pressure (BP) quantitative trait loci (QTLs), termed QTL1 and QTL2, on rat chromosome 5. However, the identities of the underlying interacting genetic factors remain unknown. Further experiments targeted to identify the interacting genetic factors by the substitution mapping approach alone are difficult because of the interdependency of natural recombinations to occur at the two QTLs. We hypothesized that the interacting genetic factors underlying these two QTLs may interact at the level of gene transcription and thereby represent expression QTLs (eQTLs). To detect these interacting eQTLs, a custom QTL chip containing the annotated genes within QTL1 and QTL2 was developed and used to conduct a transcriptional profiling study of S and two congenic strains that retain either one or both the QTLs. The results uncovered an interaction between two transcription factors, DMRTA2 and NFIA. Further, the âbiological signatureâ elicited by these two transcription factors was differential between the congenic strain that retained LEW alleles at both QTL1 and 2 compared to the congenic strain that retained LEW alleles at QTL1 alone. A network of transcription factors potentially affecting BP could be traced, lending support to our hypothesis. Pairs of Cy5 and Cy3 labeled targets were co-hybridized onto either a custom long oligonucleotide microarray for the interrogation of 231 genes encompassed by QTL1 and QTL2, or a TIGR rat cDNA array consisting of 26,401 probe elements representing 20,465 unique non-QTL genes. A âflip-dyeâ or âbalanced blockâ design was used as the experimental method of choice to account for potential dye-bias labeling effects. Six âbalanced blockâ normalized files are submitted for the long oligonucleotide array interrogating the hearts from S versus S.LEW(5)x6x9 animals, fourteen âflip-dyeâ hybridizations are submitted for the cDNA array interrogating the hearts from S versus S.LEW(5)x6x9 animals, and twelve âflip-dyeâ hybridizations are submitted for the cDNA array interrogating the hearts from S versus S.LEW(5)x6x11 animals. GPR and MEV files cannot be located.
