TDG Gene Polymorphisms and Their Possible Association with Colorectal Cancer: A Case Control Study.

ABSTRACT: Genetic alterations that might lead to colorectal cancer involve essential genes including those involved in DNA repair, inclusive of base excision repair (BER). Thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) is one of the most well characterized BER genes that catalyzes the removal of thymine moieties from G/T mismatches and is also involved in many cellular functions, such as the regulation of gene expression, transcriptional coactivation, and the control of epigenetic DNA modification. Mutation of the TDG gene is implicated in carcinogenesis. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the association between TDG gene polymorphisms and their involvement in colon cancer susceptibility. One hundred blood samples were obtained from colorectal cancer patients and healthy controls for the genotyping of seven SNPs in the TDG gene. DNA was extracted from the blood, and the polymorphic sites (SNPs) rs4135113, rs4135050, rs4135066, rs3751209, rs1866074, and rs1882018 were investigated using TaqMan genotyping. One of the six TDG SNPs was associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. The AA genotype of the TDG SNP rs4135113 increased the risk of colon cancer development by more than 3.6-fold, whereas the minor allele A increased the risk by 1.6-fold. It also showed a 5-fold higher risk in patients over the age of 57. SNP rs1866074 showed a significant protective association in CRC patients. The GA genotype of TDG rs3751209 was associated with a decreased risk in males. There is a significant relationship between TDG gene function and colorectal cancer progression.

Project description:Vitamin D and its cognate intracellular nuclear receptor, namely, vitamin D receptor (VDR), are involved in the regulation of a variety of body metabolic processes, immune function, and oncogenesis. A large number of studies demonstrated the association of low vitamin D levels and variations in five common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), FokI, BsmI, Tru9I, ApaI, and TaqI, with the risk of several cancers, including colorectal cancers. However, these associations vary among different populations. This case-control study was aimed at analysing whether common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene contribute to colorectal carcinogenesis in the Thai population. We enrolled 364 Thai participants from King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital between 2014 and 2015. Half of the participants underwent colonoscopy and showed a normal colon without polyps (control group) and another half were newly diagnosed patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) by colonoscopy during the index period, were under treatment, or were followed up at the outpatient clinic (case group). Differences in allele and genotype frequencies of five common VDR SNPs, between the case and control groups, were the primary outcome measures. Differences in haplotype frequencies of the five SNPs between the case and control groups were the secondary outcome measures. Among the 364 participants, baseline characteristics were not significantly different between the case and control groups, except for the higher proportion of males in the CRC group. The mean vitamin D level was also not significantly different between the case and control groups (24.6 ± 9.1 vs. 25.3 ± 10.6 ng/mL, p = 0.52). None of the five VDR SNPs was associated with CRC development (p > 0.05). However, haplotype analysis of these polymorphisms demonstrated that the AGGT haplotype was associated with a decreased risk of CRC (odds ratio 0.24, 95% confidence interval 0.07-0.81, p = 0.01). The AGGT haplotype was associated with a lower risk of CRC in the Thai population. This genetic linkage might support the role of vitamin D in colorectal carcinogenesis. However, this finding requires further study within a larger population and a multivariate analysis of other established risk factors.
