C-reactive protein gene 1846C>T polymorphism is associated with increased risk and clinical features of lung cancer: a case-control study.


ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation plays an important role in lung carcinogenesis. Recently, several studies investigated the association of C-reactive protein (CRP) gene 1846C>T polymorphism and lung cancer (LC) risk, but with conflicting findings. In the present study, we conducted this case-control study with 408 LC patients and 472 healthy controls in a Chinese Han population. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLR) method. Our data found that CRP gene 1846C>T polymorphism increased the risk of LC. Subgroup analyses obtained significant associations among the groups of males, ?50 years old, smoking, and non-drinkers. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression levels of CRP in LC tissues were significantly increased compared with normal tissues. Additionally, the present study found CRP mRNA high expression was associated with worse survival in LC patients. Furthermore, our data indicated that TT genotype of 1846C>T polymorphism was associated with a larger size of tumor and was related with lymphatic metastasis in LC patients. In conclusion, the present study suggests that CRP gene 1846C>T polymorphism is associated with increased risk of LC. CRP gene 1846C>T polymorphism may be a potential marker for the diagnosis of LC.
