Quantitative assessment of TLR4 gene polymorphisms and T2DM risk: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Numerous studies have evaluated the association between TLR4 gene polymorphisms and T2DM risk. However, the findings were inconsistent and controversial. METHODS:In order to drive a more precise estimation, we carried out a meta-analysis based on 41 studies involving 23,250 cases and 24,760 controls. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of association. RESULTS:Our meta-analysis provides evidence that rs4986790 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of T2DM in Asian (AG vs. AA, OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.50, p = 0.042; G vs. A, OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.01-1.44, p = 0.041). Rs4986791 polymorphism was related to an increased risk of T2DM both in Asian (AG vs. AA, OR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.11-2.80, p = 0.017; G vs. A, OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.04-2.55, p = 0.034) and Caucasian (GG vs. AA, OR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.23-4.75, p = 0.010). Rs11536889 polymorphism may have a protective effect on T2DM in Chinese populations (CC vs. GG, OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.40-0.96, p = 0.031; GC vs. GG, OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.61-0.98, p = 0.034; CC vs. GC/GG, OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.69-0.96, p = 0.013; C vs. G, OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.59-0.97, p = 0.027), whereas rs1927911 may have no impact. CONCLUSIONS:These findings supported that rs4986790, rs4986791, and rs11536889 may contribute to the risk of T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundsThe activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) may be an important event in the immune evasion of tumor cell. Recently, numerous studies have investigated the associations between TLR2 -196 to -174 del and two SNPs of TLR4 (rs4986790 and rs4986791) and the susceptibility to different types of cancer; however, the results remain conflicting. The aim of this study was to assess the association between TLR2 and TLR4 polymorphisms and cancer risk in a meta-analysis with eligible published studies.Methodology/principle findingsA dataset composed of 14627 cases and 17438 controls from 34 publications were included in a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between overall cancer risk or cancer-specific risk and three SNPs of TLRs (TLR2 -196 to -174 del, TLR4 rs4986790 and rs4986791). The results showed that all of these three polymorphisms were significantly associated with the increased cancer risk (dominant model: OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.04-2.60 for TLR2 -196 to -174 del; OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.01-1.41 for TLR4 rs4986790; and OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.120-1.80 for TLR4 rs4986791; respectively). In stratified analysis, we found the effect of TLR2 -196 to -174 del on cancer risk remained significant in the subgroup of Caucasians and South Asians, but not in East Asians. However, the association between rs4986791 and cancer risk was significant in both South Asians and East Asians, but not in Caucasians. Furthermore, the association between rs4986790 and cancer risk was statistically significant in digestive cancers (dominant model: OR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.13-2.73) and female-specific cancers (dominant model: OR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.16-1.94). However, no significant association with risk of digestive system cancers was observed for TLR2 -196 to -174 del and TLR4 rs4986791.Conclusions/significanceThis meta-analysis presented additional evidence for the association between TLR2 and TLR4 polymorphisms and cancer risk. Further well-designed investigations with large sample sizes are required to confirm this conclusion.
