The EGFR Polymorphism Increased the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through the miR-3196-Dependent Approach in Chinese Han Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) promotes cell proliferation through the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway and participates in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we focused on the functional polymorphism of EGFR in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR), aiming to reveal the potential mechanisms by which functional polymorphism is associated with the risk and development of HCC in the Han Chinese population.

Methods

This study was a hospital-based case-control study. A total of 600 patients were enrolled, and another 600 healthy volunteers served as controls. The miR-associated SNPs in EGFR were screened, and genotyping was performed by TaqMan allele differential analysis. In this study, genotyping, real-time PCR, cell transfection and double luciferase reporter gene were used for subsequent analysis.

Results

HBV/HCV infection instead of alcohol exposure, smoking exposure, hypertension or diabetes mellitus was associated with an increased risk of HCC. Compared with TT genotypes, TG and GG genotypes of EGFR rs884225 were significantly associated with reduced HCC risk. The stratified analysis of association between rs884225 and HCC subgroup feature reveal a highly correlation with tumor size. Furthermore, qRT-PCR confirmed that EGFR rs884225, TG and GG genotypes were more likely to bind to miR-3196 and down-regulate EGFR level in cells, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation.

Conclusion

This study suggested that EGFR rs884225 is associated with a reduced risk of liver cancer and may be a developing biomarker.

MiR-3196, a p53-responsive microRNA, functions as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting FOXP4.

Project description:Increasing evidences demonstrate that miRNAs play an important role in development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recent studies indicate that miR-3196 regulates tumorigenesis in breast and lung cancer. However, its role and regulatory mechanism remains unknown in hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, we found that miR-3196 was downregulated in HCC tissues and decreased miR-3196 was correlated with tumor size (P=0.0297) and TNM stage (P=0.034). Forced miR-3196 suppressed HCC cell growth and chemoresistance in vivo and in vitro. Further mechanistic studies revealed that the tumor suppressor p53 transcriptionally upregulated miR-3196 expression by binding to its promoter region in HCC cells. Additional, we also found that FOXP4 was a downstream target of miR-3196 and increased miR-3196 inhibited FOXP4 expression which led to HCC growth suppression and cell apoptosis increase. Collectively, our data shed a new role of miR-3196 in HCC and indicates that p53-dependent, miR-3196-medicated FOXP4 pathway inhibits the tumorigenesis of HCC.

Promoter hypermethylation of TERT is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in the Han Chinese population

Project description:A recent study by Castelo-Branco, P., et al. Methylation of the TERT promoter and risk stratification of childhood brain tumours: an integrative genomic and molecular study. Lancet Oncol 2013;14:534-542 found upstream of the transcription start site (UTSS) hypermethylation of TERT is associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in paediatric brain tumours. They interpreted that the UTSS region of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene is a potentially accessible biomarker for various cancers. This study, we aimed to explore the role of TERT in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to investigate whether the UTSS region of TERT promoter shows the same methylation pattern in HCC. We analyzed a methylation assay of TERT including the UTSS region in 125 paired HCC samples using Mass Array EpiTyper (Sequenom, SanDiego, CA, USA). To obtain the relationship between TERT promoter methylation status and TERT expression level, we analysed a validation group of 12 paired HCC samples and acquired the FPKM value of TERT gene.

Pre-miR-149 rs71428439 polymorphism is associated with increased cancer risk and AKT1/cyclinD1 signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common lethal malignancies in the world, and the current knowledge on the molecular and genetic basis of HCC is still limited. Previous study has shown miR-149 plays a tumor suppressive role in HCC, here we aimed to investigate the association between rs71428439 polymorphism, which located in the pre-miR-149, and the risk of HCC in a Chinese Han population. A total of 177 HCC patients and 103 healthy controls were genotyped, by a multivariate logistic regression, we found that individuals with GG genotype have significantly higher risk of HCC (adjusted OR=3.397, 95% CI=1.565-7.375, P=0.002) compared with those with AA genotype, similar results were also observed in recessive model (adjusted OR=2.563, 95% CI=1.300-5.054, P=0.007) and dominant model (adjusted OR=2.074, 95% CI=1.147-3.752, P=0.016). We further observed that tumor tissues in patients with GG genotype expressed lower level of miR-149 compared with those with AA or AG genotype, and consequently, AKT1, a pre-validated miR-149 target in vitro, was found to have higher expression level in tumors with GG genotype. In summary, our data indicated that rs71428439 may be a genetic risk factor of HCC in the Chinese Han population, and its mechanism possibly involves downregulated miR-149 expression and upregulated AKT1 expression.

Impact of mannose-binding lectin 2 polymorphism on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma: a case-control study in Chinese Han population.

Project description:BackgroundMannose-binding lectin2 (MBL2) is implicated in the host immune response, but there are limited data about MBL2 polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the MBL2 rs7096206 polymorphism and HCC risk in a Chinese Han population.MethodsA population-based case-control study of 220 HCC patients and 220 age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects from a Chinese Han population was conducted. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples, and the presence of the MBL2 polymorphism rs7096206 was assessed using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Conditional logistic regression was performed to assess the risk of HCC by determining odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsThe odds of HCC among carriers of CG and GG genotypes were 7.33 (95% CI, 2.53-21.29) and 12.48 (95% CI, 2.08-74.90), respectively. In the dominant genetic model, GG+CG carriers had an approximately 8-fold increased risk (95% CI, 2.83-22.62) compared with those with the CC genotype. The G allele was significantly associated with elevated HCC risk, with an odds ratio of 6.83 (95% CI, 2.90-16.10).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the MBL2 polymorphism rs7096206 is associated with HCC susceptibility and has the potential to serve as a biomarker to detect populations at increased HCC risk.

DNA methyltransferase 3B promoter polymorphism and its susceptibility to primary hepatocellular carcinoma in the Chinese Han nationality population: a case-control study.

Project description:AIM:To investigate the correlation between C/T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter of the DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) gene and risk for development and progression of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS:One hundred case subjects were selected consecutively from Tongji Hospital (Wuhan, China). from March to November 2006. They did not receive radiotherapy or chemotherapy for newly diagnosed and histopathologically confirmed HCC. One hundred and forty control subjects having no history of cancerous or genetic diseases were healthy volunteers to Wuhan Blood Center in the same period. Frequency was matched for sex, age, alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking status of the case subjects. C/T polymorphism of the DNMT3B promoter was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and sequencing analysis. The association between genotypes of DNMT3B and clinicopathological parameters among cases was also studied. RESULTS:The CC genotype was not detected in both HCC patients and controls. In control subjects, the frequency of TT and CT genotypes was 99.3% and 0.7% respectively, and that of T and C alleles was 99.6% and 0.4% respectively. The frequency of CT genotype was higher in HCC (3.0%). The frequency of T and C alleles was 98.5% and 1.5% respectively. However, the genotype and allelotype distribution in HCC patients was not significantly different from that in controls. CONCLUSION:C/T polymorphism is not associated with the increased risk of HCC. DNMT3B genetic polymorphism is variable in different races, ethnic groups or geographic areas. Further study is needed to clarify the role of DNMT3B SNP in the development of HCC among other populations.

Associations of TERT polymorphisms with hepatocellular carcinoma risk in a Han Chinese population.

Project description:Genetic association analysis and functional analysis have suggested that telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene affects the predisposition to various tumors. In this study, we wanted to explore the association between TERT variants and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in a Han Chinese population via a case-control study of 473 HCC patients and 564 controls. Sequenom Mass-ARRAY platform was applied to determine the genotype of TERT polymorphisms in these subjects. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals that calculated by logistic regression analysis were used to assess the association under the genotype, dominant, recessive, and additive models. The "AA" genotype frequency of TERT rs2242652 in cases was significantly lower than in controls (1.69% versus 3.72%). We found two SNPs were associated with decreased risk of HCC with or without the adjustment for age and gender: rs10069690 under an additive model (adjusted OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.60-0.98, P = 0.038); rs2242652 under a dominant model (adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.54-0.95, P = 0.022) and an additive model (adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.56-0.92, P = 0.009). To our knowledge, the present study is the first to show the significant association between TERT polymorphisms and HCC susceptibility in a Han Chinese population from China, which may act as a potential prognostic biomarker in HCC patients.

LBP and CD14 polymorphisms correlate with increased colorectal carcinoma risk in Han Chinese.

Project description:AimTo explore the associations of polymorphisms of lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) with the colorectal carcinoma (CRC) risk in Han Chinese.MethodsPolymorphisms of LBP (rs1739654, rs2232596, rs2232618), CD14 (rs77083413, rs4914), TLR-4 (rs5030719), IL-6 (rs13306435) and TNF-α (rs35131721) were genotyped in 479 cases of sporadic colorectal carcinoma and 486 healthy controls of Han Chinese in a case-control study. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between cases and controls were analyzed by unconditional logistic regression.ResultsGA and GG genotypes of LBP rs2232596 were associated with a significantly increased risk of CRC [odds ratio (OR) = 1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-1.99, P = 0.003; OR = 2.49, 95% CI 1.16-5.38, P = 0.016, respectively]. A similar association was also observed for the CG genotype of CD14 rs4914 (OR= 1.69, 95% CI 1.20-2.36, P = 0.002). In addition, a combination of polymorphisms in LBP rs2232596 and CD14 rs4914 led to a 3.4-fold increased risk of CRC (OR = 3.44, 95% CI 1.94-6.10, P = 0.000).ConclusionThis study highlights the LBP rs2232596 and CD14 rs4914 polymorphisms as biomarkers for elevated CRC susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.

IL1 genes polymorphism and the risk of renal cell carcinoma in Chinese Han population.

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is considered a cytokine-responsive tumor. However, with the lack of diagnostic screening biomarkers, early diagnosis of RCC is challenging. Our study was investigated the association of IL1 gene polymorphisms and RCC risk. We conducted a case-control study of 291 RCC cases and 463 controls to evaluation the IL1RN of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on RCC risk. We selection of 16 SNPs in IL1RN, IL1A, IL1B genes were analyzed. Using the chi-squared (?2) test and genetic model analysis, we found an association with RCC risk for five SNPs [rs3783550 (IL1A), rs3783546 (IL1A), rs1609682 (IL1A), rs3783521 (IL1A), and rs1143623 (IL1B)] and increased the risk of RCC. Stratified analyses show that smoking, not drinking and age>55 populations relative to nonsmoking, drinking and age<55 more susceptible. Our study suggested that IL1B and IL1A may involve in the development of RCC in Chinese Han population.

pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphism is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma risk: a case-control study in a Chinese population.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. miR-34 induces changes of its downstream genes, and plays a key role in altering the apoptotic cycle and pathways of downstream cells, and finally influences the development of cancer. We assessed the relationship of the pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphism with hepatocellular carcinoma risk in a Chinese population. During the period of January 2014 and December 2015, a total of 164 HCC patients and 305 healthy controls were recruited from the Inner Mongolia People's Hospital. Genotyping of the pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 was determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Using ?2 test, we observed that HCC patients were likely to have a habit of alcohol consumption (?2 = 10.24, P = 0.001) and infect with HBV or HCV (?2 = 128.17, P < 0.001). In co-dominant model, the CC genotype of pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 had a significant higher risk of HCC as compared with the TT genotype, and the corresponding adjusted OR (95% CI) was 4.14 (1.91-9.75). In dominant model, we observed that the TC+CC genotype were associated with an increased risk of HCC in comparison to the TT genotype (OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.17-2.55). In recessive model, the CC genotype was correlated with an elevated risk of HCC when compared with the TT+TC genotype (OR = 3.46, 95% CI = 1.62-8.54). The pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphism was associated with a higher risk of HCC in the Chinese population examined. Further large-scale and multi-center studies are required to confirm these results.
