Association between TGF-?1 Polymorphisms and Head and Neck Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objective: Studies have been conducted to explore the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-?1) and head and neck cancer (HNC) susceptibility, however the findings are still inconclusive. Therefore, we conduct this meta-analysis to quantitatively assess the association. Methods: Embase and PubMed were searched for all eligible clinical studies. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of each study were pooled to estimate the association between SNPs in the TGF-?1 and the HNC risk. Subgroup analysis was used to explore whether particular characteristics were related to the value of overall ORs and 95% CIs. Results: Seven case-control studies, including three SNPs (-509C/T, 869T/C, and 915G/C), were examined. Overall, this meta-analysis failed to identify a significant association between TGF-?1-509C/T, 915G/C polymorphism and HNC risk in any models. As for the 869T/C polymorphism, significant associations were observed in the allelic model (C vs. T: OR = 1.351, 95%CI: 1.030-1.772), the homozygote model (CC vs. TT: OR = 1.585, 95%CI: 1.026-2.449) and the dominant model (CT/CC vs. TT: OR = 1.398, 95%CI: 1.008-1.937). This polymorphism was also found in the Asian group as well (C vs. T: OR = 1.400, 95%CI: 1.003-1.956, CC vs. TT: OR = 1.814, 95%CI: 1.018-3.233). Conclusion: Meta-analysis failed to show a statistical association between TGF-?1-509C/T, 915G/C polymorphism, and HNC risk in any genetic models. However, it was found that TGF-?1 869C/T polymorphism may be involved in susceptibility to HNC, especially in Asian patients. However, given the limitations of this meta-analysis, further well-designed studies are required in the future.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The associations between RAD51 gene polymorphisms (G135C and G172T) and risk of head and neck cancer (HNC) have been investigated, but the results are controversial. The aim of this study was to provide a more precise estimation of its relationship with HNC using a meta-analysis. METHODS:Relevant studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Strict selection and exclusion criteria were determined, and the odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the strength of the association between RAD51 polymorphisms and HNC risk. RESULTS:Six studies were eligible for RAD51 G135C (1593 cases and 1719 controls), and three studies were eligible for RAD51 G172T (997 cases and 979 controls). In the overall population, significant association between RAD51 G135C polymorphism and HNC risk was observed under allele model (C vs G: OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.04-1.41, P = 0.015). In the subgroup analysis by smoking status, a significant association was found among smokers (C vs G: OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.25-2.04; GC vs GG: OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.29-4.05; GC + CC vs GG: OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.56-2.78). When stratified based on drinking status, a significant association was found among drinkers(C vs G: OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.21-2.11; GC vs GG: OR = 2.50, 95% CI = 1.16-5.38; GC + CC vs GG: OR = 2.17,95% CI = 1.56-3.01). However, no significant association with HNC risk was demonstrated when stratified based on source of control and ethnicity. For G172T polymorphism, the results showed no significant risk association in overall analysis. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the result suggested that a decreased HNC risk was found among Caucasians (T vs G: OR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.72-0.95; TT vs GG: OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.46-0.84; TT vs GT + GG: OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.49-0.84). CONCLUSION:This meta-analysis suggested that RAD51 G135C is associated with increased HNC risk, especially among smokers and drinkers, while G172T polymorphism may play a protective role against HNC among Caucasians. Larger-scale and well-designed studies are needed to further clarify the association.

Project description:BackgroundMMP1 is an important member of the MMP endopeptidase family that plays a critical role in the development of head and neck cancer (HNC). Several studies have investigated the association between the MMP1 -1607 1G>2G polymorphism and risk of HNC, but their results have been inconsistent. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to further explore the role of the MMP1 -1607 1G>2G polymorphism in HNC development.MethodsWe identified all eligible studies in the electronic databases of PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar (from January 2000 to June 2012). A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between the MMP1 -1607 1G>2G polymorphism and risk of HNC by calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CIs).ResultsTwelve studies were included in this meta-analysis. In overall comparison, significant associations were found using the recessive and allelic contrast models (OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.07-1.79 and OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.05-1.53, respectively), but no association was detected using the dominant model. In the stratified analyses by several variables, significant associations were observed using the recessive, dominant, and allelic contrast models in the Asian population (OR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.29-2.08; OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.06-1.82; and OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.21-1.65, respectively), European population (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40-0.84; OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.44-0.92; and OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54-0.85, respectively), and population-based subgroup (OR, 1.24; 95% CI,1.05-1.47; OR,1.48; 95% CI,1.04-2.12; and OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07-1.38, respectively). Furthermore, significant associations were detected in oral cavity cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer under the recessive model.ConclusionOur results suggest that the MMP1 -1607 1G>2G polymorphism is associated with risk of HNC and that it plays different roles in Asian and European populations. Further studies with large sample size are needed to validate our findings.
