Renin-Angiotensin System Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Are Associated with Bladder Cancer Risk.

ABSTRACT: The renin-angiotensin system (RAS), besides being a major regulator of blood pressure, is also involved in tumor angiogenesis. Emerging evidence suggests a correlation between the use of pharmacologic RAS inhibitors and a delay in urothelial bladder cancer (BC) progression. However, it is unknown whether RAS gene variants may predispose to the development of BC. This study examined the association of RAS single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including AT1R rs5186, AT2R rs11091046, REN rs12750834, ANG rs4762, and ANG rs699 with the risk of developing non-invasive BC. Peripheral blood samples from 73 patients with T1 urothelial BC (66 men, seven women) and an equal number of healthy subjects (control group) were collected. The TT genotype of the REN rs12750834 SNP (OR: 2.8 [1.3-6.05], p = 0.008) and to a lesser extent the presence of the T allele (OR: 2.3 [1.2-4.48], p = 0.01) conferred a higher risk of BC. The highest risk for BC within SNP carriers of the RAS system was associated with the presence of the CC genotype (OR: 17.6 [7.5-41.35], p < 0.001) and C allele (OR: 17.7 [8.8-35.9], p < 0.001) of the ANG rs699 SNP. The presence of the AT2R rs11091046 SNP, particularly the AA genotype, was associated with a protective effect against developing BC (OR: 0.268 [0.126-057], p < 0.001). In conclusion, these results support the clinical utility of RAS gene SNPs AT2R rs11091046, REN rs12750834, and ANG rs699 in the genetic cancer risk assessment of patients and families with BC.

A systematic review of nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Project description:In this recent publication review the authors aimed to collect evidence of impact of nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNP) in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system on patients' phenotype not only regarding arterial hypertension and its complications, but also the impact on other diseases of interest outside the field of cardiovascular medicine. PubMed database records published between 2017-2020 were searched and all positive case-control studies or positive studies with human DNA were selected. The search identified 104 articles, of which 22 were included on the basis of the inclusion criteria. This paper presents the impact of 44 nsSNPs in panels for genes of renin, angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin receptor and aldosterone on the clinical picture of investigated cohorts or on the peptide-protein interactions as consequence of nsSNPs. Genetic variability in nsSNPs of the RAAS is involved in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension and its complications, and surprisingly also in the pathogenesis of conditions not associated with elevated blood pressure, like neoplasms or inflammatory diseases.

Renin-angiotensin system gene polymorphisms and endometrial cancer.

Project description:Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynaecological malignancy and its incidence is increasing. Dysregulation of the endometrial renin-angiotensin system (RAS) could predispose to EC; therefore, we studied the prevalence of RAS single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Australian women with EC. SNPs assessed were AGT M235T (rs699); AGTR1 A1166C (rs5186); ACE A240T and T93C (rs4291, rs4292) and ATP6AP2 (rs2968915). They were identified using TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays. The C allele of the AGTR1 SNP (rs5186) was more prevalent in women with EC (odds ratio (OR) 1.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.2-2.3), P=0.002). The CC genotype of this SNP is associated with upregulation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1). The G allele of AGT rs699, which is associated with higher angiotensinogen (AGT) levels, was less prevalent in women with EC (OR 0.54, 95% CI (0.39-0.74), P<0.001) compared with controls. AGT and AGT formed by removal of angiotensin I (des(Ang I)AGT) are both anti-angiogenic. In women with EC who had had hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the prevalence of the AGTR1 SNP (rs5186) and the ACE SNPs (rs4291 and rs4292) was greater than in women who had no record of HRT; SNP rs4291 is associated with increased plasma ACE activity. These data suggest there is an interaction between genotype, oestrogen replacement therapy and EC. In conclusion, the prevalence of two SNPs that enhance RAS activity was different in women with EC compared with healthy controls. These genetic factors may interact with obesity and hyperoestrogenism, predisposing ageing, obese women to EC.

Three polymorphisms of renin-angiotensin system and preeclampsia risk.

Project description:PurposeSome data suggest an association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms AGT T704C, ACE I/D, and AT1R A1166C and preeclampsia, but overall, the data are conflicting; the aim of our study was to discover a more stable and reliable association between these polymorphisms and PE risk.MethodsA comprehensive literature search for this meta-analysis was conducted. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the strength, and heterogeneity test was conducted. Trial sequential analysis was also performed.ResultsA total of forty studies were finally included in our meta-analysis. The AGT T704C polymorphism was associated with PE risk in three genetic models (dominant OR = 1.33, 95%CI = 1.12-1.59; heterozygote OR = 1.26, 95%CI = 1.05-1.52; homozygote OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.14-1.83). No heterogeneity was observed in the three genetic models for the ACE I/D polymorphism. For subgroup analysis by geography, no significant association was detected. Significant associations were observed in mixed race, early-onset, late-onset, and more than 200 subgroups for the AT1R A1166C polymorphism; however, only one study was analyzed in these subgroups.ConclusionsOur results indicated the AGT T704C and ACE I/D polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of PE. Increased risks were also observed for the two polymorphisms in subgroups including Asians, Europeans, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid. Moreover, an increased PE risk with the ACE I/D polymorphism in the severe PE population was also detected. Regarding the AT1R A1166C polymorphism, weak associations were observed, but further studies are required.

High order gene-gene interactions in eight single nucleotide polymorphisms of renin-angiotensin system genes for hypertension association study.

Project description:Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) genes are associated with hypertension (HT) but most of them are focusing on single locus effects. Here, we introduce an unbalanced function based on multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) for multiloci genotypes to detect high order gene-gene (SNP-SNP) interaction in unbalanced cases and controls of HT data. Eight SNPs of three RAS genes (angiotensinogen, AGT; angiotensin-converting enzyme, ACE; angiotensin II type 1 receptor, AT 1 R) in HT and non-HT subjects were included that showed no significant genotype differences. In 2- to 6-locus models of the SNP-SNP interaction, the SNPs of AGT and ACE genes were associated with hypertension (bootstrapping odds ratio [Boot-OR] = 1.972~3.785; 95%, confidence interval (CI) 1.26~6.21; P < 0.005). In 7- and 8-locus model, SNP A1166C of AT 1 R gene is joined to improve the maximum Boot-OR values of 4.050 to 4.483; CI = 2.49 to 7.29; P < 1.63E - 08. In conclusion, the epistasis networks are identified by eight SNP-SNP interaction models. AGT, ACE, and AT 1 R genes have overall effects with susceptibility to hypertension, where the SNPs of ACE have a mainly hypertension-associated effect and show an interacting effect to SNPs of AGT and AT 1 R genes.

Renin angiotensin system deregulation as renal cancer risk factor.

Project description:For numerous years, the non-cardiovascular role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was underestimated, but recent studies have advanced the understanding of its function in various processes, including carcinogenesis. Numerous evidence comes from preclinical and clinical studies on the use of antihypertensive agents targeting the RAS, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers. It has been demonstrated that the use of ACEIs can alter the incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and may have a positive effect by prolonging patient survival. It has an effect on the complex action of ACEI, resulting in decreased angiotensin II (Ang-II) production and altered levels of bradykinin or Ang 1-7. The present review discusses the existing knowledge on the effects of ACE and its inhibitors on RCC cell lines, xenograft models, and patient survival in clinical studies. A brief introduction to molecular pathways aids in understanding the non-cardiovascular effects of RAS inhibitors and enables the conduction of studies on combined cancer treatment with the application of ACEIs. Recent evidence regarding the treatment of hypertension associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, one of the most pronounced and common side effects in modern RCC treatment, are also outlined. Captopril, an ACEI, may be used to lower blood pressure in patients, particularly due to its additional renoprotective actions.

The Renin-Angiotensin System, High Inherent Aerobic Capacity, and Low Breast Cancer Risk

Project description:Purpose: Physical activity is associated with reduced breast cancer risk. Aerobic capacity, which is the ability to generate and use energy on a sustained basis, has been hypothesized as a mechanism linking physical activity and cancer. Using selectively bred rats with distinctly different inherent aerobic capacity (IAC) in concert with a well-characterized model of breast cancer, we have previously reported that high IAC is protective against chemically induced mammary carcinogenesis. The mechanism(s) by which differing IAC confers effects on cells that reside in the mammary gland is unknown. Methods: To address this knowledge gap, RNA sequence analysis was performed on skeletal muscle, uninvolved mammary gland, and mammary carcinoma from rats of low or high IAC status. Results: Investigation of effects on upstream regulators led to a focus on the role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in mediating effects on downstream targets relevant to the development of breast cancer. Patterns of RAS gene expression in skeletal muscle and mammary gland of high versus low IAC were consistent with counter-regulatory RAS activity signaling promoting anti-cancer biological functions while an opposite expression pattern of these transcripts was observed in tumor tissue. Conclusions: This study found a biologically plausible heritable relationship linking mechanisms associated with aerobic capacity and the development of breast cancer. Through RNA-seq analyses, we identified AGT as a biomarker pointing to differences in the regulation of RAS as a candidate mediator linking aerobic capacity and breast cancer.

Genetic risk scores based on risk-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms can reveal inherited risk of bladder cancer in Chinese population.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with bladder cancer (BCa) risk in Caucasian and East Asian population. The objective of this study was to validate these SNPs in Chinese population and evaluate whether these SNPs could differentiate the individual inherited risk for BCa.A case-control study including 581 BCa cases and 1561 healthy controls was performed. Germline DNA samples from all individuals were genotyped for eight SNPs. Genetic risk score (GRS) was calculated for each individual based on the odds ratios and risk allele frequencies of five risk-associated SNPs.Among eight SNPs evaluated in this study, rs798766 at 4p16.3 [OR = 1.39 (1.15-1.67), P < .001], rs9642880 [OR = 1.17 (1.06-1.30), P < .001] and rs4813953 at 20p12.2 [OR = 1.09 (1.02-1.17), P = .016] were found associated with BCa risk in Chinese population. A genetic risk score was established based on five SNPs (including the above three SNPs and two other SNPs which have the consistent direction with previous reported genome-wide association study). The mean GRS was significantly higher in BCa cases than controls (1.22 vs. 1.01, P < .001). When subjects were categorized into low- (<0.8), average- (0.8-1.2), and high-risk (>1.2) groups, the likelihoods of BCa were 25.2%, 33.7% and 55.0%, respectively (P-trend < 2.2 × 10). In subgroup analyses, no significant difference was observed in mean GRS among BCa patients with different stages or grades.In conclusion, two SNPs derived from East Asian and one SNP from Caucasian were associated with BCa risk in Chinese population. These results provided additional information of genetic risks for BCa in Chinese population. Genetic risk score based on these SNPs can reveal inherited risk of BCa, and may have potential for modifying personalized cancer screening strategy.

Polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin system and migraine in women.

Project description:Recent findings suggest an association between the renin-angiotensin system and migraine. However, genetic studies are scarce and controversial.To investigate the association between the AGTR1 1166A > C and AGT Met235Thr polymorphisms with migraine and migraine aura status.We performed an association study among 25,000 Caucasian US women, participating in the Women's Health Study, with information on the AGTR1 1166A > C and AGT Met235Thr polymorphisms. Migraine and migraine aura status were self-reported. We distinguished between any history of migraine, active migraine with aura, active migraine without aura, and prior migraine (history of migraine, but not in the year prior to baseline). We used logistic regression to investigate the genotype-migraine association.At baseline, 4577 (18.3%) women reported any history of migraine; 39.5% of the 3226 women with active migraine indicated aura. The polymorphisms were not associated with migraine or migraine-specific subgroups. We also did not find a significant interaction between the polymorphisms.Data from this large cohort of Caucasian women do not suggest an association of polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin system with migraine or aura status. Future studies should focus on haplotype analyses and additional gene-gene as well as gene-environment interactions.

Role of two single nucleotide polymorphisms in secreted frizzled related protein 1 and bladder cancer risk.

Project description:In this study, we determined the genotype distribution of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in secreted frizzled related protein 1 (SFRP1), rs3242 and rs921142, in a Caucasian bladder cancer case-control study. Allelic variants of the SNPs were determined using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and partly verified by sequencing analysis. Overall, DNA from 188 consecutive and 215 early-onset bladder cancer patients (?45 years) as well as from 332 controls was investigated. Potential microRNA binding sites were determined for rs3242, and microRNA expression was analysed in cell lines and tumour specimens. We observed a remarkable distribution difference in rs3242 between bladder cancer patients and healthy controls (p=0.05). Additionally, we found a significant difference in genotype distribution (p=0.032), resulting from the difference of early-onset patients and the control group (p=0.007). The risk allele T showed increased frequency in the early-onset patient group (p=0.002). Genotype-dependent differences of microRNA binding capacity were predicted in SFRP1 mRNA for two microRNAs. Hsa-miR-3646 showed strong expression in cell lines and tumour tissue, whereas hsa-miR-603 exhibited weak expression. The rs921142 SNP showed no significant association with bladder cancer risk. This is the first study to describe an association of the SFRP1 SNP rs3242 and bladder cancer risk as well as the influence of rs3242 on genotype-dependent microRNA capacity on SFRP1 mRNA. The onset of bladder seems to be associated with the increased occurrence of the T-allele in rs3242.

Mediation by differential DNA methylation of known associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms and bladder cancer risk.

Project description:BackgroundThough bladder cancer has been the subject of many well-powered genome-wide association studies, the mechanisms involving bladder-cancer-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) remain largely unknown. This study focuses on rs798766, rs401681, rs2294008, and rs8102137, which have been associated with bladder cancer and are also cis-acting methylation quantitative loci (mQTL).MethodsAmong 412 bladder cancer cases and 424 controls from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), we assessed whether the effects of these SNPs on bladder cancer are mediated through proximal DNA methylation changes in pre-diagnostic blood at mQTL-associated CpG sites, which we refer to as natural indirect effects (NIEs). We used a multiple-mediator mediation model for each of the four mQTL adjusted for matching variables and potential confounders, including race/ethnicity, smoking status, and pack-years of smoking.ResultsWhile not statistically significant, our results suggest that substantial proportions of the modest effects of rs401681 (ORNIE = 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.89 to 1.25; NIE percent = 98.5%) and rs2294008 (ORNIE = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.90 to 1.33; NIE percent = 77.6%) on bladder cancer risk are mediated through differential DNA methylation at nearby mQTL-associated CpG sites. The suggestive results indicate that rs2294008 may affect bladder cancer risk through a set of genes in the lymphocyte antigen 6 family, which involves genes that bind to and modulate nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. There was no suggestive evidence supporting mediation for rs8102137 and rs798766.ConclusionsThough larger studies are necessary, the methylation changes associated with rs401681 and rs2294008 at mQTL-associated CpG sites may be relevant for bladder carcinogenesis, and this study demonstrates how multi-omic data can be integrated to help understand the downstream effects of genetics variants.
