Association of HMGB1 Gene Polymorphisms with Lung Cancer Susceptibility and Clinical Aspects.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies and is associated with a poor survival rate in the Chinese Han population. Analysis of genetic variants could lead to improvements in prognosis following lung cancer therapy. High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) is a ubiquitous nuclear protein found in eukaryotic cells that participates in several biological functions including immune response, cell survival, apoptosis and cancer development. We investigated the effects of HMGB1 gene polymorphisms on the risk of lung cancer progression in a Chinese Han population. Our sample of 751 participants included 372 patients with lung cancer and 379 healthy controls. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the HMGB1 gene were examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We found that the CT or CC+CT heterozygotes of the HMGB1 rs1045411 polymorphism reduced the risks for lung cancer, while the G/T/C haplotypes of three HMGB1 SNPs (rs1360485, rs1045411 and rs2249825) also reduced the risk for lung cancer by almost half (0.486-fold). The current study is the first to examine the risk factors associated with HMGB1 SNPs in lung cancer development in the Chinese Han population.

Project description:Previous studies have suggested that DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is an important protective pathway after damage. The ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene plays an important role in the DNA DSB repair pathway. DNA damage is a major cytotoxic effect that can be caused by radiation, and the ability to repair DNA after damage varies among different tissues. Impaired DNA repair pathways are associated with high sensitivity to radiation exposure. Hence, ATM gene polymorphisms are thought to influence the risk of cancer and radiation-induced pneumonitis (RP) risk in cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. However, the results of previous studies are inconsistent. We therefore conducted this comprehensive meta-analysis.A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) and Wanfang databases to identify studies that investigated the association between the ATM gene polymorphisms and both lung cancer and RP radiotherapy-treated lung cancer (the last search was conducted on Dec.10, 2015). The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to investigate the strength of these relationships. Funnel plots and Begg's and Egger's tests were conducted to assess the publication bias. All analyses were performed in STATA 13.0 software.Ten eligible case-control studies (4731 cases and 5142 controls) on lung cancer susceptibility and four (192 cases and 772 controls) on RP risk were included. The results of the overall and subgroup analyses indicated that in the ATM gene, the rs189037 (-111G?>?A, -4519G?>?A), rs664677 (44831C?>?T, 49238C?>?T) and rs664143 (131,717 T?>?G) polymorphisms were significantly associated with lung cancer susceptibility (OR?=?1.21, 95% CI?=?1.04-1.39, P?=?0.01; OR?=?1.26, 95% CI?=?1.06-1.49, P?=?0.01; OR?=?1.43, 95% CI?=?1.15-1.78, P?<?0.01). Additionally, the rs189037 variant was significantly associated with RP risk (OR?=?1.74, 95% CI?=?1.02-2.97, P?=?0.04). No publication bias was found in the funnel plots, Begg's tests or Egger's tests.The results indicate that the ATM rs189037, rs664677 and rs664143 gene polymorphisms are risk factors for lung cancer, while the ATM rs189037 variant was significantly associated with RP risk.
