Association of the vitamin D metabolism gene GC and CYP27B1 polymorphisms with cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, vitamin D is known to have functions beyond bone formation, including inhibiting angiogenesis and promoting tumor apoptosis. CYP27B1 and group-specific component (GC), the main enzyme responsible for the degradation and transport of active vitamin D, play important role in many cancer-related cellular processes. Relationships between CYP27B1 and GC polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility have been widely investigated, whereas the results are inconsistent. We strictly searched EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, WanFang and CNKI electronic databases for relevant studies exploring the associations of GC (rs4588 and rs7041) and CYP27B1 (rs4646537, rs3782130) polymorphisms with cancer risks according to search strategy. Thirty-two studies published in 13 articles involving 15713 cases and 17304 controls were included. Our analyses suggested that rs4588 and rs7041 polymorphisms were significantly associated with overall cancer risk. Stratification analyses of ethnicity indicated that rs4588 polymorphism significantly increased cancer risk in Caucasians and Asians, while rs7041 polymorphism significantly increased cancer risk in Asians. When studies were stratified by cancer type, our results indicated that rs4588 significantly increased the risk of breast cancer and digestive system tumor, but not in prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, while rs7041 significantly increased the risk of non-small cell lung cancer. Above associations were noteworthy findings as evaluated by false-positive report probabilities (FPRPs). There were no associations of rs4646537 and rs3782130 with overall cancer risks. Associations between CYP27B1 and GC polymorphisms and cancer risks were examined, and additional large samples are necessary to validate our results.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough numerous case-control studies have explored the association between CC cytokine ligand-4 (CCL4) expression and cancer susceptibility, their results have been conflicting. This study aimed to determine the still-unknown connection of CCL4 rs10491121 and rs163450 polymorphisms with cancer susceptibility.MethodsSeveral databases, such as Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE, were searched for papers published since the creation of the database until November 2, 2022. Using RevMan 5.4 and StataMP 17 softwares, meta-analysis and subgroup analysis were performed after article screening and data extraction. For sensitivity analyses, one-by-one exclusion method was used, and then, the comprehensive effect was estimated and compared with that before exclusion. Trial sequential analysis (TSA)was performed using TSA 0.9.5.10 beta software.ResultsSeven case-control studies encompassing 3559 cases and 4231 controls were included. The P value was greater than 0.05 for all models, indicating the absence of an evident relationship of CCL4 gene rs10491121 and rs1634507 polymorphisms with cancer susceptibility. However, in the subgroup analysis of rs10491121, the P values in all models studied by us except GA vs. AA were <0.05 considering the Chinese subgroup, suggesting that the G allele is a risk factor for cancer in the Chinese population. Besides, in the subgroup analysis of rs1634507 considering oral cancer, the co-dominant model GG vs. TT, dominant model GG + GT vs. TT, and allele model G vs. T groups showed OR < 1 and P < 0.05, indicating that the G allele was a protective factor of oral cancer. However, for other cancer types, all the models studied by us except GG vs. GT showed OR > 1 and P < 0.05, indicating that the G allele was a risk factor for these other cancers. Despite the statistically significant results, sensitivity analysis had some stability limitations, and TSA results suggested the possibility of false positives.ConclusionFor rs10491121, we identified an association between the G allele and increased cancer risk in the Chinese population. For rs1634507, the G allele was not found to be associated with reduced risk of oral cancer and increased risk of other cancers studied by us.

Project description:BackgroundStudies on the susceptibility of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms to coronary artery disease (CAD) reached controversial results. We performed this study for a more accurate evaluation between the VDR polymorphisms and CAD susceptibility.MethodsPubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wan Fang, and VIP databases were searched. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to evaluate the associations. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was introduced to estimate the positive associations. The potential functions of the VDR polymorphisms were analyzed based on the SNPinfo and ENSEMBL databases.ResultsThirteen studies were finally included. In the overall analysis, increased CAD risks were observed in the VDR rs1544410 polymorphism and verified by the TSA; for the rs2228570 and rs731236 polymorphisms, significant associations with high heterogeneity were detected; decreased risk was remarkably observed for the rs7975232 polymorphism. In the subgroup analysis, wide associations with reduced heterogeneity were observed in the rs2228570, rs1544410, and rs731236 polymorphisms. The RNAfold analysis indicated the mutant G allele of the rs1544410 polymorphism was easier to disperse from the DNA double helix structure and may have a potential crucial role in the VDR transcription process.ConclusionsOur analysis supports the role of the rs1544410 polymorphism in the VDR gene as a risk factor for CAD. The VDR rs2228570 and rs731236 polymorphisms were associated with increased CAD risks in the White population. Restrict decreased CAD risk was firstly discovered in the rs7975232 polymorphism.LimitationsFirstly, the language was restricted to English and Chinese, which will cause the limited number of studies included; secondly, other unknown polymorphisms in VDR polymorphisms could also be associated the CAD susceptibility, and more case-control studies with comprehensive clinical outcomes and GWAS studies were required; thirdly, the rs1544410, rs7975232 and rs731236 polymorphism are in strong LD, haploid factors with CAD risk need to be considered; fourthly, the mechanisms of the VDR polymorphism on the VDR gene or RNA or protein were not discussed enough, further mechanistic studies are required; at last, genetic factor was the one side for CAD susceptibility, the interaction between environmental risk factors should be considered.
