Role of Sequence Variations in AhR Gene Towards Modulating Smoking Induced Lung Cancer Susceptibility in North Indian Population: A Multiple Interaction Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background:AhR, a ubiquitously expressed ligand-activated transcription factor, upon its encounter with the foreign ligands activates the transcriptional machinery of genes encoding for bio-transformation enzymes like CYP1A1 hence, mediating the metabolism of Poly aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrosamines which account for the maximally found carcinogen in cigarette smoke. Polymorphic variants of AhR play a significant role and are held responsible for disposing the individuals with greater chances of acquiring lung cancer. Objective:To study the role of AhR variants (rs2282885, rs10250822, rs7811989, rs2066853) in affect-ing lung cancer susceptibility. Methods:297 cases and 320 controls have been genotyped using PCR-RFLP technique. In order to find out the association, unconditional logistic regression approach was used. To analyze high order in-teractions Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction and Classification and regression tree was used. Results:Subjects carrying the variant genotype for AhR rs7811989 showed a two-fold risk (p=0.007) and a marginal risk was also seen in case of individuals carrying either single or double copy of suscep-tible allele for rs102550822 (p=0.02). Whereas the variant allele for rs2066853 showcased a strong pro-tective effect (p=0.003). SQCC individuals with mutant genotype of rs2066853 also exhibited a protec-tive effect towards lung cancer (OR=0.30, p=0.0013). The association of rs7811989 mutant genotype and rs10250822 mutant genotype was evident especially in smokers as compared to non-smokers. AhR rs2066853 showed a decreased risk in smokers with mutant genotype (p=0.002). MDR approach gave the best interaction model of AhR rs2066853 and smoking (CVC=10/10, prediction error=0.42). Conclusion:AhR polymorphic variations can significantly contribute towards lung cancer predisposi-tion.

Project description:BackgroundType 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder with obesity being a major contributing factor in its development. Susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes and obesity have been localized on different chromosomal regions by various genome-wide linkage scans. Of these chromosomal regions, 20q13 is one of the strongest linked regions for type 2 diabetes as well as obesity. On 20q13 lies DOK5 that seems to be a strong functional and positional candidate for type 2 diabetes and obesity because of its involvement in insulin signaling and immune responses. Hence, for the first time, we explored DOK5 as a potential type 2 diabetes and obesity susceptibility gene.MethodsWe sequenced 43 subjects for polymorphisms in functionally relevant regions of DOK5. A total of 10 SNPs that included 5 that were identified by sequencing and 5 additional SNPs from NCBI Variation Database were genotyped in 2,115 participants comprising of 1,073 patients with type 2 diabetes and 1,042 controls of Indo-European ethnicity from North India.ResultsWe identified a novel variant in intron 7 referred to as DK176673. We found nominal association of three SNPs-rs6064099 (OR = 0.75, P = 0.019), rs873079 (OR = 0.76, P = 0.036) and DK176673 (OR = 1.55, P = 0.037) with type 2 diabetes among normal-weight subjects [BMI < 23 kg/m2]. The haplotype GGC harboring rs6068916, rs6064099 and rs873079 showed strong association with type 2 diabetes among normal-weight subjects (OR = 1.37, P/Pperm = 5.8 x 10-3/0.037). Association analysis with obesity revealed that rs6064099 is associated with reduced susceptibility for obesity (OR = 0.48, P = 6.8 x 10-3). Also, haplotype GGC conferred increased susceptibility for obesity (OR = 1.27, P/Pperm = 9.0 x 10-3/0.039). Also, rs6064099 was significantly associated with reduced BMI [median(IQR) = 24.0(20.7-27.1) vs 23.9(20.2-26.8) vs 21.8(19.2-24.7) for GG vs GC vs CC, P = 7.0 x 10-3].ConclusionsWe identified DOK5 as a novel susceptibility gene for obesity and type 2 diabetes in North Indian subjects. Association of DOK5 variants both with obesity and type 2 diabetes suggests that these variants might modulate type 2 diabetes susceptibility through obesity.

Project description:Our previous studies have implicated genes mainly involved in the activity of pancreatic ? cells in type 2 diabetes (T2D) susceptibility in the North Indian population. Recent literature on the role of SIRT1 as a potential master switch modulating insulin secretion and regulating gene expression in pancreatic ? cells has warranted an evaluation of SIRT1 promoter region polymorphisms in the North Indian population, which is the main focus of the present study. 1542 samples (692 T2D patients and 850 controls) were sequenced for the 1.46 kb region upstream the translation start site of the SIRT1 gene. We performed a functional characterization of the SIRT1 promoter region polymorphisms using luciferase assay and observed a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs12778366, in association with SIRT1 expression. We propose that TT, the high-expressing genotype of SNP rs12778366 in the SIRT1 promoter region and present in >80% of the North Indian population, was favored under conditions of feast-famine cycles in evolution, which has turned out to be a cause of concern in the present sedentary lifestyle under ad libitum conditions. Case-control association analysis did not implicate rs12778366 in T2DM per se in the studied population. However, our earlier reported risk genotype combinations of mt-ND3, PGC1?, and UCP2-866, when compared with the protective genotype combinations, in the background of the high-expressing TT genotype of SIRT1 SNP rs12778366, showed a very high additive risk [corrected odd ratio (OR)?=?8.91; p?=?6.5×10(-11)]. The risk level was considerably low in the genotype backgrounds of TX (OR?=?6.68; p?=?2.71×10(-12)) and CX (OR?=?3.74; p?=?4.0×10(-3)). In addition, we screened other reported T2D-associated polymorphisms: PIK3R1 rs3730089, IRS1 rs1801278, and PPP1R3 rs1799999, which did not show any significant association in North Indian population. The present paper emphasizes the importance of gene interactions in the biological pathways of T2D, a complex lifestyle disease.
