The TP63 Gene Polymorphism rs17506395 is Associated with Early Breast Cancer in Cameroon.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer (BC) is a leading female cancer worldwide and cause of cancer-related death, especially in developing countries. Genetic predispositions to BC development in African population is poorly studied, and meanwhile the SNP rs17506395 in TP63 gene locus has been associated with the development of breast cancer in Asian women, no investigation has been undertaken within African population. We investigated the impact of this polymorphism in a representative African population.

Methods

We undertook a case-control study including 335 women, of which 111 were breast cancer patients and 224 controls. Using blood-derived germline DNA, PCR-RFLP was used to investigate the polymorphism of TP63 gene at rs17506395 locus. Unconditional logistic regression was used to study the association between the TP63 gene polymorphism and risk of BC development. After stratification into different age and ethno-linguistic groups as well as menopausal status, the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test was used to measure significance of the associations.

Results

Comparing cases with controls, no significant associations between genotype and disease development was observed. Similarly, when cases were stratified according to menopausal status and ethno-linguistic groups, no significant association was observed between genotype and disease development. However, in women of 40 years and below, TT and TG genotypes were associated with breast cancer development. The minor G allele seems to protective against early breast cancer onset OR of 0.5 (95%CI = 0.26-0.94, p = 0.03).

Conclusion

Our data revealed an association between rs15706395 and the risk of early breast cancer onset. The GG genotype seems to reduce the risk of early breast cancer. Larger studies are needed to confirm the potential of this SNP as biomarker for breast cancer prognostic.

Project description:PurposeThe aim was to verify the potential association between CYP19A1 genetic polymorphisms and clinical outcome of hormone therapy in hormone receptor (HR)-positive early breast cancer.MethodsGenotyping for CYP19A1 rs4646 (C/A) polymorphism was performed on 287 women with HR-positive early breast cancer. Associations were evaluated between CYP19A1 rs4646 genotypes and disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsTotally, women with the minor allele (AA or AC) had an improved DFS when compared with those carrying the homozygous common allele (CC) (AA or AC vs. CC: 62.7 months versus 55.6 months; Hazard ratio (HR), 0.745; 95% CI, 0.562-0.988; P=0.04). The difference was further demonstrated by multivariate analyses (HR, 0.681; 95% CI, 0.506-0.917; P=0.011). In premenopausal women, AA genotype was associated with a prolonged DFS (AA versus CC or AC: 98.2 months versus 56.2 months; HR, 0.425; 95% CI, 0.198-0.914; P=0.024). In addition, women with the A allele had an improved DFS when compared with those carrying the homozygous C allele (AA or AC vs. CC: 62.7 months versus 55.6 months; HR, 0.709; 95% CI, 0.516-0.975; P=0.033). These findings were further confirmed by the Cox regression model (HR, 0.336, 0.670; 95% CI, 0.160-0.836, 0.479-0.938; P=0.017, 0.019). In postmenopausal women, rs4646 genotypes were significantly associated with DFS (AA versus AC versus CC: 32.7 months versus not reached versus 56.3 months; P=0.011). Women carrying AA variant had a poorer DFS than those with CC or AC genotypes (32.7 months versus 70.6 months; HR, 3.613; 95% CI, 1.380-9.457; P=0.005). Furthermore, being adjusted by the patients features in multivariate analyses, AA genotype remained an independent prognostic factor for DFS (HR, 3.614; 95% CI, 1.308-9.991; P=0.013).ConclusionsThe homozygous minor allele (AA) of CYP19A1 rs4646 is significantly associated with improved clinical outcome of hormone therapy in premenopausal HR-positive early breast cancer patients, but with a worse impact on postmenopausal women. The findings are novel, if confirmed, genotyping for CYP19A1 rs4646 polymorphism may provide predictive information for better selection of endocrine treatment.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) is an aggressive subtype often characterized by distant metastasis, poor patient prognosis, and limited treatment options. Therefore, the discovery of alternative targets to restrain its metastatic potential is urgently needed. In this study, we aimed to identify novel genes that drive metastasis of BLBC and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action. METHODS:An unbiased approach using gene expression profiling of a BLBC progression model and in silico leveraging of pre-existing tumor transcriptomes were used to uncover metastasis-promoting genes. Lentiviral-mediated knockdown of interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 (IL13Ralpha2) coupled with whole-body in vivo bioluminescence imaging was performed to assess its role in regulating breast cancer tumor growth and lung metastasis. Gene expression microarray analysis was followed by in vitro validation and cell migration assays to elucidate the downstream molecular pathways involved in this process. RESULTS:We found that overexpression of the decoy receptor IL13Ralpha2 is significantly enriched in basal compared with luminal primary breast tumors as well as in a subset of metastatic basal-B breast cancer cells. Importantly, breast cancer patients with high-grade tumors and increased IL13Ralpha2 levels had significantly worse prognosis for metastasis-free survival compared with patients with low expression. Depletion of IL13Ralpha2 in metastatic breast cancer cells modestly delayed primary tumor growth but dramatically suppressed lung metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, IL13Ralpha2 silencing was associated with enhanced IL-13-mediated phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) and impaired migratory ability of metastatic breast cancer cells. Interestingly, genome-wide transcriptional analysis revealed that IL13Ralpha2 knockdown and IL-13 treatment cooperatively upregulated the metastasis suppressor tumor protein 63 (TP63) in a STAT6-dependent manner. These observations are consistent with increased metastasis-free survival of breast cancer patients with high levels of TP63 and STAT6 expression and suggest that the STAT6-TP63 pathway could be involved in impairing metastatic dissemination of breast cancer cells to the lungs. CONCLUSION:Our findings indicate that IL13Ralpha2 could be used as a promising biomarker to predict patient outcome and provide a rationale for assessing the efficacy of anti-IL13Ralpha2 therapies in a subset of highly aggressive basal-like breast tumors as a strategy to prevent metastatic disease.

Project description:Introduction:Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. In Kazakhstan, breast cancer holds first place among causes of women death caused by cancer in the 45-55 year age group. Many studies have shown that the risk of acquiring breast cancer may be related to the level of calcium in the blood serum. One of the important regulators of calcium metabolism in the body is the parathyroid hormone. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene encoding the parathyroid hormone (PTH) are associated with breast cancer development risk, and may modify the associative interaction between the levels of calcium intake and breast cancer. Experimental studies have shown that PTH gene has a carcinogenic effect. At least three studies showed a weak positive correlation between the risk of acquiring breast cancer and primary hyperparathyroidism, a state with high levels of PTH and often high levels of calcium. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate potential association between PTH gene polymorphism and breast cancer risk among Kazakhstani women. Methods:Female breast cancer patients (n = 429) and matched control women (n = 373) were recruited into a case - control study,. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral venous blood of study participants using Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega, USA). Detection of PTH gene polymorphism (rs1459015) was done by means of the TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assay of real-time PCR. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 19.0. Results:PTH gene alleles were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p > 0.05). Distribution was 59% CC, 35% CT, 6% TT in the group with breast cancer and 50% CC, 43% CT, 6% TT in the control group. Total difference (between the group with breast cancer and the control group) in allele frequencies for PTH polymorphism was not significant (p > 0.05). No association was found between rs1459015 TT and breast cancer risk (OR = 1.039; 95%, CI 0.740 - 1.297; p = 0.893). Conclusion:We found no association between PTHrs1459015 polymorphism and breast cancer in our present study. Further studies are required to confirm our results and clarify role of PTH gene genotypes on breast cancer risk.
