Associations between polymorphisms of the ACYP2 gene and Liver cancer risk: A case-control study and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:ACYP2 gene may be involved in the process of telomere shortening which may be involved in the liver cancer. So, this research was to examine whether the ACYP2 gene polymorphism has impact on the risk of liver cancer in Chinese population. METHODS:Two hundred and fifty cirrhosis patients and 248 liver cancer patients were selected. Unconditional logistic regression was to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Analyze the relationship between ACYP2 gene polymorphism and tumor using meta-analysis. Analyze the expression of ACYP2 gene in liver cancer and its influence on the prognosis of liver cancer by databases (Ualcan, GTEX and Kaplan-Meier plotter). RESULTS:In the allele model, ACYP2 rs843720 was protection against the occurrence of cirrhosis developed into liver cancer (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.58-0.99, p = 0.04). Rs1682111 and rs843720 play a protective role in the additive model (rs1682111: OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.52-0.93, p = 0.01; rs843720: OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.54-0.98, p = 0.04).While rs843645 G allele increased the risk of cirrhosis developed into liver cancer under the additive model (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.02-2.00, p = 0.04).The haplotype analysis detected that "ATATCGCC" decreased the risk of cirrhosis developed into liver cancer (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.51-0.92, 95% CI: p = 0.013); however, "TGAGCGTC" increased the risk of cirrhosis developed into liver cancer (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.04-2.10, p = 0.027). Meta-analysis shown that ACYP2 rs1682111 was associated with the risk of cancer (OR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.78-1.05, p = 0.02). ACYP2 gene high expression was found to be associated with better OS for all liver patients. CONCLUSION:Based on this research, we surmised that ACYP2 gene may be involved in the occurrence of liver cancer in Chinese populations.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The X-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) is an efficient component of homologous recombination and is required for the preservation of chromosomal integrity in mammalian cells. The association between Thr241Met single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in this gene and susceptibility to breast cancer has been assessed in several studies. Yet, reports are controversial. The present meta-analysis has been designed to identify whether this SNP is associated with susceptibility to breast cancer. METHODS:We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for retrieving the case-control studies on the associations between T241?M SNP and the risk of breast cancer. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to verify the association in dominant, recessive, and homozygote inheritance models. RESULTS:We included 55 studies containing 30,966 sporadic breast cancer cases, 1174 familial breast cancer cases and 32,890 controls in the meta-analysis. In crude analyses, no association was detected between the mentioned SNP and breast cancer risk in recessive, homozygote or dominant models. However, ethnic based analysis showed that in sporadic breast cancer, the SNP was associated with breast cancer risk in Arab populations in homozygous (OR (95% CI)?=?3.649 (2.029-6.563), p?=?0.0001) and recessive models (OR (95% CI)?=?4.092 (1.806-9.271), p?=?0.001). The association was significant in Asian population in dominant model (OR (95% CI)?=?1.296, p?=?0.029). However, the associations was significant in familial breast cancer in mixed ethnic-based subgroup in homozygote and recessive models (OR (95% CI)?=?0.451 (0.309-0.659), p?=?0.0001, OR (95% CI)?=?0.462 (0.298-0.716), p?=?0.001 respectively). CONCLUSIONS:Taken together, our results in a large sample of both sporadic and familial cases of breast cancer showed insignificant role of Thr241Met in the pathogenesis of this type of malignancy. Such results were more conclusive in sporadic cases. In familial cases, future studies are needed to verify our results.
