Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of the ERAP1 Gene and Risk of NSCLC: A Comparison of Genetically Distant Populations, Chinese and Caucasian.

ABSTRACT: An effective cytotoxic immune response to neoplastic cells requires efficient presentation of antigenic peptides to T lymphocytes by HLA class I (HLA-I) molecules. The HLA-I-bound peptide repertoire depends on antigen-processing machinery molecules. Aminopeptidase residing in endoplasmic reticulum 1 (ERAP1) trims peptides to the optimal length for HLA-I binding. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ERAP1 gene result in changes in aminopeptidase activity and specificity. This may affect susceptibility to cancer. However, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) has not been studied in this respect. We compared genotype and haplotype frequencies of four coding, nonsynonymous ERAP1 SNPs, rs26653G > C, rs26618T > C, rs30187C > T, and rs27044C > G, in NSCLC occurring in two genetically distant populations, Chinese and Poles. We found associations of all four SNPs with NSCLC in Chinese but not in Poles. The differences in ERAP1-NSCLC associations might be explained by highly significant differences in SNP genotype frequencies between Chinese and Poles (except for rs26618). In accordance with this, the most frequent ERAP1 haplotypes were distributed differently in cases versus controls in Chinese, but not in Poles. Our findings add to the differences between Orientals and Caucasians in genetics of disease susceptibility.

Project description:Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) has been reported to be associated with the risk of obesity, and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO) patients tend to have a greater risk of cardiovascular complications than metabolically healthy obese (MHO) patients. Therefore, we aimed to study single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the MC4R gene associated with metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity in Chinese Northern Han populations. A total of 1100 Chinese Northern Han subjects were recruited and divided into four groups according to the criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel-III (ATP-III) and World Health Organization (WHO): MUHO (n = 300), MHO (n = 196), metabolic unhealthy normal weight (MUH-NW) (n = 303), and metabolic healthy normal weight (MH-NW) (n = 301). DNA samples were extracted, and six SNPs of the MC4R gene, including rs2331841, rs656710, rs17782313, rs571312, rs12970134, and rs11872992, were genotyped with the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) method. Among the six SNPs of the MC4R gene, rs2331841 (A/G) was the most significant and could account for 0.9% of obesity etiology. Compared with the normal weight group, rs2331841 of the MC4R gene was associated with obesity (P=0.032). The obesity risk of subjects with the AG genotype in the rs2331841 site was 82% higher than the risk of those with the GG genotype (β = 0.60, OR = 1.82, P=0.030). After adjusting for sex and age, the frequency of the A allele in the rs2331841 site was higher in the MUHO group than in the MH-NW group (27.9% vs. 21.1%, respectively, OR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.14-1.96, P=0.005) and in the MUHO group than in the MHO group (27.9% vs. 22.3%, respectively, OR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.02-1.92, P=0.039). Among the three genotypes of rs2331841, the subjects with the AA/AG genotype had higher diastolic blood pressure (DBP) than those with the GG genotype. Our data first suggest that SNPs in the rs2331841 site of the MC4R gene are closely related to obesity and its related metabolic disorders in Chinese Northern Han populations. The participants with an A allele of rs2331841 had a higher risk of obesity and MUHO than other participants.
