Association between SNPs in microRNA machinery genes and gastric cancer susceptibility, invasion, and metastasis in Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT: The present study investigates the influence of genetic variants in miRNA machinery genes (DROSHA, DICER, AGO1, and GEMIN4) on gastric cancer in Chinese Han population, further revealing the genetic mechanisms of gastric cancer occurrence and development.Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was performed in 628 patients with GC and 502 frequency-matched (age and gender) controls by the high resolution melting (HRM) method.The SNPs rs3742330 (DICER) and rs7813 (GEMIN4) were associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer (P = 0.002 and 0.010, respectively). Stratified analysis showed that the G allele of rs3742330 and genotype TT as well as T allele of rs7813 were associated with a later stage of gastric cancer (P=0.027, 0.032 and 0.018, respectively). Furthermore, the genotype TT and T allele of rs7813 appeared to be associated with a higher level of lymphatic metastasis of gastric cancer (P=0.021 and 0.030, respectively), while the genotype AA and A allele of rs636832 (AGO1) were correlated with a lower level of lymphatic metastasis of gastric cancer (P=0.016 and 0.041, respectively). There was no significant association between rs10719 (DROSHA) and gastric cancer.The present data demonstrated that genetic variants in miRNA machinery genes had a significant association with GC susceptibility (DICER and GEMIN4) and malignant behavior such as tumor stage (DICER and GEMIN4) and lymphatic metastasis of GC (GEMIN4 and AGO1) in Chinese Han population.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by a mycobacterial infection, with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The pathogenesis of TB is still unclear; however, a growing body of evidence suggests that host genetic factors may play important roles in susceptibility to TB, and different gene polymorphisms in different ethnic and genetic backgrounds may lead to different effects. In view of the above theories, our research group used bioinformatics to screen for 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs1045481, rs1045491, rs2740349, rs10719, rs642321, rs3744741, rs7813, rs3742330, rs3757, rs14035, rs720012, and rs4961280, which are derived from 6 main genes (i.e., GEMIN4, DICER1, DROSHA, DGCR8, AGO2, and RAN) acting in the microRNA-machinery pathway. We then analyzed the correlations between TB patients of Uygur in Xinjiang China and the above SNPs using a case-control study. The results showed that the genotypic distributions of rs720012 (from gene DGCR8) and rs4961280 (from gene AGO2) were not in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P?<?.05), so they were deleted. Subjects carrying the rs3742330 AG/GG genotype, rs1045481 GA genotype, rs1045491 CT genotype, and rs7813 AG genotype, respectively, had an increased risk of TB than individuals carrying rs3742330 AA genotype, rs1045481 GG/AA genotype, rs1045491 CC/TT genotype, and rs7813 AA/GG genotype between different groups. Expression quantitative trait loci analysis found that rs3744741 and rs2740349 from gene GEMIN4 had a regulatory effect, while rs3742330 from gene DICER1 had a reverse regulatory effect. Finally, according to the results of Linkage Disequilibrium between SNPs, the haplotype analysis showed that the haplotype of GCTAC from gene GEMIN4 had statistical differences when compared with active and inactive TB. The current experimental results provide a direction for our future research, and the research team will conduct more in-depth studies on the correlation between miRNA and TB.
