Association of tumor necrosis factor-? polymorphism with chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with esophageal cancer.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? polymorphisms and oral mucositis (OM) from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus cisplatin (CDDP) chemotherapy for esophageal cancer. The rs1799964 polymorphism of TNF-? was genotyped using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction. The experimental group comprised 64 patients who received chemotherapy for esophageal cancer between 1997 and 2004; a total of 106 patients between 2005 and 2013 were investigated as the validation group. Univariate analysis of the experimental group revealed that the TT genotype of TNF-? rs1799964 was significantly higher in patients with grade 1-4 OM compared with the TC/CC genotypes [univariate odds ratio (OR)=4.0; P=0.029]. Similarly, univariate analysis of the validation group revealed that the percentage of the TT genotype was significantly higher in patients with grade 1-4 OM compared with the TC/CC genotypes (OR=2.8; P=0.043). This difference in risk was replicated in the validation cohort. Thus, the TT genotype of TNF-? rs1799964 may be a predictor of chemotherapy-induced OM in patients with esophageal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundGastrointestinal mucosal injury (mucositis), commonly affecting the oral cavity, is a clinically significant yet incompletely understood complication of cancer chemotherapy. Although antineoplastic cytotoxicity constitutes the primary injury trigger, the interaction of oral microbial commensals with mucosal tissues could modify the response. It is not clear, however, whether chemotherapy and its associated treatments affect oral microbial communities disrupting the homeostatic balance between resident microorganisms and the adjacent mucosa and if such alterations are associated with mucositis. To gain knowledge on the pathophysiology of oral mucositis, 49 subjects receiving 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or doxorubicin-based chemotherapy were evaluated longitudinally during one cycle, assessing clinical outcomes, bacterial and fungal oral microbiome changes, and epithelial transcriptome responses. As a control for microbiome stability, 30 non-cancer subjects were longitudinally assessed. Through complementary in vitro assays, we also evaluated the antibacterial potential of 5-FU on oral microorganisms and the interaction of commensals with oral epithelial tissues.ResultsOral mucositis severity was associated with 5-FU, increased salivary flow, and higher oral granulocyte counts. The oral bacteriome was disrupted during chemotherapy and while antibiotic and acid inhibitor intake contributed to these changes, bacteriome disruptions were also correlated with antineoplastics and independently and strongly associated with oral mucositis severity. Mucositis-associated bacteriome shifts included depletion of common health-associated commensals from the genera Streptococcus, Actinomyces, Gemella, Granulicatella, and Veillonella and enrichment of Gram-negative bacteria such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Prevotella oris. Shifts could not be explained by a direct antibacterial effect of 5-FU, but rather resembled the inflammation-associated dysbiotic shifts seen in other oral conditions. Epithelial transcriptional responses during chemotherapy included upregulation of genes involved in innate immunity and apoptosis. Using a multilayer epithelial construct, we show mucositis-associated dysbiotic shifts may contribute to aggravate mucosal damage since the mucositis-depleted Streptococcus salivarius was tolerated as a commensal, while the mucositis-enriched F. nucleatum displayed pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic capacity.ConclusionsAltogether, our work reveals that chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis is associated with bacterial dysbiosis and demonstrates the potential for dysbiotic shifts to aggravate antineoplastic-induced epithelial injury. These findings suggest that control of oral bacterial dysbiosis could represent a novel preventive approach to ameliorate oral mucositis.
