Association of long noncoding RNA MALAT1 polymorphisms with gastric cancer risk in Korean individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) drives tumorigenesis of various human cancers. However, the association between MALAT1 variants and gastric cancer (GC) risk is unknown. We performed a case-control study to evaluate the possible association between rs619586 and rs3200401 SNPs in MALAT and GC risk.

Methods

Samples from 458 patients with GC and 381 controls were genotyped using the TaqMan genotyping assay.

Results

In stratified analyses, we observed that rs3200401 CT in the codominant model and CT+TT in the dominant model were associated with increased GC risk in male patients (CT: odds ratio [OR] = 1.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09-3.01, p = 0.022; CT+TT: OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.07-2.83, p = 0.026), and the differentiated (CT: OR =1.79, 95% CI = 1.18-2.73, p = 0.007; CT+TT: OR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.17-2.64, p = 0.007), and intestinal (CT: OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.11-2.49, p = 0.013; CT+TT: OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.14-2.47, p = 0.009) GC subgroups.

Conclusion

MALAT1 rs3200401 increases GC susceptibility and might affect GC development. Further studies are needed to validate our results in large populations and different ethnic groups.

Project description:The study was designed to determine the role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (Malat1), in ischemic stroke outcome. Primary mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) were cultured and treated with Malat1 GapmeR before 16 h oxygen and glucose depravation (OGD). Cell death was assayed by LDH and MTT methods. Malat1 knock-out and wild-type mice were subjected to 1 h of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and 24-72 h of reperfusion. To explore the underlying mechanism, apoptotic and inflammatory factors were measured by qPCR, ELISA, and Western blotting. The physical interaction between Malat1 and apoptotic or inflammatory factors was measured by RNA immunoprecipitation. Increased Malat1 levels were found in cultured mouse BMECs after OGD as well as in isolated cerebral microvessels in mice after MCAO. Silencing of Malat1 by Malat1 GapmeR significantly increased OGD-induced cell death and Caspase 3 activity in BMECs. Silencing of Malat1 also significantly aggravated OGD-induced expression of the proapoptotic factor Bim and proinflammatory cytokines MCP-1, IL-6, and E-selectin. Moreover, Malat1 KO mice presented larger brain infarct size, worsened neurological scores, and reduced sensorimotor functions. Consistent with in vitro findings, significantly increased expression of proapoptotic and proinflammatory factors was also found in the cerebral cortex of Malat1 KO mice after ischemic stroke compared with WT controls. Finally, we demonstrated that Malat1 binds to Bim and E-selectin both in vitro and in vivo Our study suggests that Malat1 plays critical protective roles in ischemic stroke.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Accumulative studies have demonstrated the important regulatory roles of microRNAs in vascular and neural damage after ischemic stroke. However, the functional significance and mechanisms of other classes of noncoding RNAs in cerebrovascular pathophysiology after stroke are less studied. Here we demonstrate a novel role of Malat1, a long noncoding RNA that has been originally identified as a prognostic marker for non-small cell lung cancer, in cerebrovascular pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Our experiments have provided the first evidence that Malat1 plays anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory roles in brain microvasculature to reduce ischemic cerebral vascular and parenchymal damages. Our studies also suggest that lncRNAs can be therapeutically targeted to minimize poststroke brain damage.

Project description:BackgroundMetastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) participates in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and coronary heart disease by regulating inflammatory reactions, programmed cell death, and other pathological processes. Previous studies revealed that the MALAT1 gene polymorphism was associated with cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the prognostic role of the MALAT1 polymorphism in major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) remains unknown. Therefore, this study intends to explore the association between the MALAT1 rs3200401 polymorphism and MACCEs.MethodWe enrolled 617 myocardial infarction (MI) patients and 1125 control participants who attended the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2010 to 2018. SNPscan™ typing assays were used to detect the MALAT1 rs3200401 genotype. During the follow-up, MACCEs were recorded. Kaplan-Meier curves and univariate and multivariate Cox survival analyses were used to explore the correlation between MALAT1 gene polymorphisms and the occurrence of MACCEs.ResultsAmong the total participants and MI patients, the frequencies of the T allele (total Participants 19.5% vs. 15.3%, P = 0.047, MI patients 20.7% vs. 14.1%, P = 0.014) and CT + TT genotypes (total Participants 37.4% vs. 28.1%, P = 0.013, MI patients 39.5% vs. 25.8%, P = 0.003) were significantly higher in subjects with MACCEs than in subjects without MACCEs. However, in control participants, the frequencies of the T allele (16.6% vs. 16.0%, P = 0.860) and CT + TT genotypes (31.4% vs. 29.3%, P = 0.760) were not higher in subjects with MACCEs than in subjects without MACCEs. In addition, among the total participants and MI patients, the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis indicated that the subjects with rs3200401 CT + TT genotypes had a higher incidence of MACCEs than CC genotype carriers (P = 0.015, P = 0.001). Nevertheless, similar results were not observed in the control participants (P = 0.790). Multivariate Cox regression indicated that compared with patients with the CC genotype, patients with CT + TT genotypes had a 1.554-fold increase in MACCE risk (hazard ratio: 1.554, 95% confidence interval: 1.060-2.277, P = 0.024).ConclusionsThe MALAT1 rs3200401 CT + TT genotypes could be a risk factor for MACCEs in MI patients, suggesting that the MALAT1 gene may become a biomarker for poor prognosis in MI patients.

Project description:AbstractGenetic polymorphisms of plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 can affect various tumors including gastro-intestinal, sexual hormone sensitive cancers and lymphoma. Accumulated evidence have shown that plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 acts as an oncogene and tumor suppressor in various cancers. In fact, the rs13255292 and rs2608053 single nucleotide polymorphisms of plasmacytoma variant translocation 1are known to affect lymphoma; however, their effects on gastric cancer are primarily unknown. In this study, we evaluated the association between these plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 polymorphisms and the risk of gastric cancer.In the present study, 462 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and 377 cancer-free controls were enrolled. The TaqMan genotyping assay was used to analyze the association between rs13255292 and rs2608053 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the risk of gastric cancer.The rs2608053 dominant model (CT + TT) was associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer in T3 + T4 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.61, confidence interval (CI) = 0.41 - 0.92, P = .019), and stage III Gastric cancer subgroups (OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.38 - 0.91, P = .017) compared to the CC genotype. When stratified analysis by sex was carried out, the rs13255292 dominant model (CT + TT) had a significant association with an increased risk of gastric cancer in the female negative lymph node metastasis gastric cancer subgroup, compared to the CC genotype (OR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.16 - 3.30, P = .012). The recessive model (TT) of rs13255292 was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer in the male T3 + T4 gastric cancer subgroups compared to the CC + CT genotype (OR = 3.82, 95% CI = 1.02 - 14.33, P = .047). The dominant model (CT + TT) of rs2608053 was related to a decreased risk of gastric cancer in male T3 + T4 (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.33 - 0.98, P = .042) and stage III gastric cancer subgroups (OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.27 - 0.89, P = .020) compared to the CC genotype.The rs13255292 and rs2608053 single nucleotide polymorphisms in plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 may contribute to susceptibility of gastric cancer. Further studies with more subjects and different ethnic groups are needed to validate our results.
