Associations between hepatocellular carcinoma risk and rs3212227 and rs568408 polymorphisms: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is considered to be a risk factor for cancer; however, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the impacts of the IL-12 rs3212227 and rs568408 gene polymorphisms on HCC. METHODS:We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Chinese Knowledge Infrastructure databases for studies on the associations between HCC and IL-12 rs568408 and rs3212227 polymorphisms published prior to 1 May 2020. The effects of the polymorphisms on HCC susceptibility were presented as odds ratios (ORs) and associated 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS:Seven studies were ultimately included, including 2375 cases and 3445 controls. The rs3212227 polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk of HCC in both the dominant model (CC+AC vs. AA, OR=1.22) and the allele model (C vs. A, OR=1.12). Combined analysis of rs568408 yielded a significant relative risk for HCC in the dominant (AA+AG vs. GG, OR=1.13), recessive (AA vs. AG+GG, OR=1.72), allele (A vs. G, OR=1.29), heterozygote (AG vs. GG, OR=1.27), and homozygote models (AA vs. GG, OR 1.17). CONCLUSION:The IL-12 rs3212227 and rs568408 gene polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of HCC.

Project description:Genetic polymorphisms of xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) in the nucleotide excision repair pathway may influence cancer susceptibility by affecting the capacity for DNA repair. Studies investigating the association between XPD Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk reported inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for such an association. Eligible studies were identified by searching electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and CBM, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, for the period up to October 2014. The association of XPD Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn polymorphisms and HCC risk was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) together with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Finally, a total of 11 studies with 4322 cases and 4970 controls were included for XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and 6 studies with 2223 cases and 2441 controls were available for XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism. With respect to XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism, statistically significant increased HCC risk was found when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis (Gln/Gln vs Lys/Lys: OR = 1.363, 95% CI 1.065-1.744, P = 0.014; Lys/Gln vs Lys/Lys: OR = 1.205, 95% CI 1.099-1.321, P = 0.000; Gln/Gln+Lys/Gln vs Lys/Lys: OR = 1.300, 95% CI 1.141-1.480, P = 0.000). In subgroup analyses by ethnicity, source of control, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in controls, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and statistically significant increase of HCC risk was found in East Asians, population-based studies, studies consistent with HWE, and HBV-positive subjects, but not in mixed/other populations, hospital-based studies, studies deviating from HWE, and HBV-negative subjects. With respect to XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism, no significant association with HCC risk was found in the overall and subgroup analyses. The results suggest that the XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism contributes to increased HCC susceptibility, especially in East Asian populations. Further, large and well-designed studies are required to validate this association.

Project description:BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an intractable public health threat worldwide, representing the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with limited early detection and therapeutic options. Recent findings have revealed that the susceptibility of HCC is closely related to microRNA (miRNA). We performed this systematic review with a network meta-analysis to investigated four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that most regularly reported in miRNAs, exploring their involvement in HCC susceptibility and interaction with hepatitis B virus (HBV).MethodsDatabases were reviewed for related studies published up to May 2019 to identify all studies that compared genotypes of miR-146a rs2910164, miR-149 rs2292832, miR-196a2 rs11614913, and miR-499 rs3746444 with no language and date restrictions. A pairwise meta-analysis was performed to estimate pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals incorporating heterogeneity to assess the relationship between four miRNA polymorphisms and HCC. To further clarify the effect of polymorphisms on HCC, a Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted to combine the effective sizes of direct and indirect comparisons. Calculations were performed by R version 3.6.1 and STATA 14.0. All steps were performed according to PRISMA guidelines.ResultsA total of 20 studies were enrolled in this network meta-analysis, providing 5,337 hepatocellular carcinoma cases and 6,585 controls. All included studies had an acceptable quality. Pairwise meta-analysis demonstrated that miR-196a2 rs11614913 was significantly associated with the susceptibility of HCC, while the other three SNPs were not found to have a significant association. In the analysis of HCC patients under different HBV infection status, only miR-196a2 revealed correlation of threefold risk. The network results showed no significant difference in the distribution of genotype frequencies except for miR-196a2, which appeared to have the highest superiority index when comparing and ranking four SNPs.ConclusionMiR-196a2 rs11614913 was significantly associated with the susceptibility of HCC, especially for HBV- related HCC, and that individuals with TC/CC were more susceptible. No significant association was found in the other three miRNA genes. MiR-196a2 could serve as the best predictor of susceptibility in HCC.

Project description:The associations between TNF-? and Interleukin gene polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) risk have been studied in numerous epidemiological studies, but the results remain controversial. To investigate whether these polymorphisms facilitate susceptibility to PCOS, we conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, CNKI, and Google Scholar were searched to obtain the genetic association studies according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the strengths of the associations. Funnel plots and Egger's tests were performed to test for possible publication bias. All statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.2 and STATA11.0.Eighteen articles were included in the final meta-analysis. The studies involved the following polymorphisms: TNF-? -308G?>?A, TNF-? -805C>T, TNF-? -1031 T>C, IL-1A -889C>T, IL-1B -511C>T, IL-1B +3953 T>C, IL-6 -174G>C, IL-10 -819C>T, IL-10 -1082A>G, IL-18 -607C>A, and IL-18 -137G>C. Our results show a significant association between PCOS risk and the TNF-? -1031 T>C polymorphism (For TC+CC vs. TT: OR=2.09, 95 % CI=1.58-2.76, p<0.0001. For C allele vs. T allele: OR=1.67, 95 % CI=1.33-2.09, p<0.0001) and between PCOS risk and the IL-6 -174>C polymorphism (For CC+GC vs. GG: OR=0.49, 95 % CI=0.25-0.95, p=0.03. For CC vs. GG: OR=0.48, 95 % CI=0.28-0.80, p=0.005. For C vs. G: OR=0.60, 95 % CI=0.42-0.87, p=0.007). No associations were found with the other genetic models.The results of the meta-analysis suggest positive associations between the TNF-? -1031 T>C and IL-6 -174G>C polymorphisms and the risk of PCOS. No associations are found between PCOS risk and the TNF-? -308G>A, TNF-? -805C>T, IL-1A -889C>T, IL-1B -511C>T, IL-1B +3953C>T, IL-10 -819C>T, IL-10 -1082 A>G, IL-18 -607C>A, and IL-18 -137G>C polymorphisms. However, due to the heterogeneity and low quality of the studies related to PCOS polymorphisms in the meta-analysis, the results should be interpreted with caution. Future multi-ethnicity studies of homogeneous populations of PCOS patients with larger sample sizes and well-matched controls are needed.
