Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use and breast cancer risk in a European prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Experimental studies have shown a protective effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on breast cancer development. However, results from epidemiological cohort studies are less consistent. Our objective was to assess the association between NSAID use and breast cancer risk within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). EPIC is a prospective cohort study initiated in 1992 in 10 European countries. Self-reported information on NSAID use at baseline has been collected in five EPIC countries. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios for the association of NSAID use with breast cancer incidence with adjustment for potential confounders. We also assessed effect modification by breast cancer risk factors and examined the associations within specific breast cancer subtypes. Among the 140,981 women included in the analysis, 7% were regularly using NSAIDs at baseline. During a median follow-up time period of 13 years, 7,379 incident breast cancer cases were diagnosed (816 in situ and 6,563 invasive). There were no statistically significant associations between NSAID use and breast cancer risk, overall and by subtypes. However, a statistically significant interaction was observed for invasive cases between NSAID use and ever use of menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) among postmenopausal women [MHT users: HRNSAID use ?=?0.84 (0.73-0.96); non MHT users: HRNSAID use ?=?1.08 (0.93-1.25); pinteraction ?=?0.05]. Our results indicate potential effect modification of MHT use on the association between use of NSAIDs and breast cancer risk which deserves in-depth investigation in studies with accurate data on both NSAID and MHT use.

Project description:BackgroundLipid transfer protein (LTP), an abundant protein in fruits, vegetables, and nuts, is a common food allergen in Mediterranean areas causing diverse allergic reactions. Approximately 40% of food-related anaphylaxis induced by LTPs requires nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as a triggering cofactor.ObjectiveWe sought to better understand the determinants of NSAID-dependent and NSAID-independent LTP-induced anaphylaxis (LTP-A).MethodsSelection of patients was based on a proved clinical history of NSAID-dependent or NSAID-independent anaphylaxis to LTPs, positive skin prick test response to LTPs, and serum LTP IgE. Whole-transcriptome (RNA sequencing) analysis of blood cells from 14 patients with NSAID-related LTP-A (NSAID-LTP-A), 7 patients with LTP-A, and 13 healthy control subjects was performed to identify distinct gene expression signatures.ResultsExpression of genes regulating gastrointestinal epithelial renewal was altered in both patient sets, particularly in those with LTP-A, who also presented with gene expression profiles characteristic of an inflammatory syndrome. These included altered B-cell pathways, increased neutrophil activation markers, and increased reactive oxygen species levels. Increased expression of the IgG receptor (CD64) in patients with LTP-A was mirrored by the presence of LTP-specific IgG1 and IgG3. Conversely, patients with NSAID-LTP-A were characterized by reduced expression of IFN-γ-regulated genes and IFN-γ levels, as well as upregulated expression of adenosine receptor 3 (ADORA3) and genes related to adenosine metabolism.ConclusionsGene ontology analysis suggests disturbances in gut epithelial homeostasis in both groups with LTP-A, with potential integrity breaches in patients with LTP-A that might explain their distinct inflammatory signatures. Differential regulation in patients with LTP-A and those with NSAID-LTP-A of the IFN-γ pathway, IgG receptors, and ADORA3 might provide the pathogenic basis of their distinct responses.
