MMP2 Polymorphisms and Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility in a Chinese Han Population

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common cancers worldwide and an important cause of cancer-related death. Inherited genetic variation plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of CRC. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MMP2 with CRC risk.

Patients and Methods

Three candidates, MMP2 SNPs, rs1053605, rs243849, and rs14070, were selected and genotyped using the Agena MassARRAY RS1000 system, and their association with risk of CRC was evaluated in 663 CRC cases and 663 healthy controls by calculating odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) values.

Results

The minor allele of rs243849 (T) was significantly less frequent in cases than controls (p = 0.021), and this SNP was associated with a decreased risk of CRC under co-dominant (p = 0.033), dominant (p = 0.021), and log-additive (p = 0.017) models, after adjusting for confounding factors. After stratification, rs243849 was found to be protective against CRC in patients who were non-smoking, consumed alcohol, and were ≥60 years old (p < 0.05). Conversely, rs1053605 was associated with disease occurrence in patients with CRC who consumed alcohol and were <60 years old (p < 0.05). Furthermore, rs1053605 genotype was associated with an increased risk of colon cancer (p < 0.05), while that of rs243849 was associated with a decreased risk of rectal cancer (p < 0.05). The rs1053605-rs243849 CT haplotype exhibited a protective role in CRC risk, following adjustment for confounders (p = 0.014). The rs14070 SNP was not associated with CRC risk. Finally, the false discovery rate (FDR) method was used to validate the study results.

Conclusion

Overall, the MMP2 gene polymorphisms, rs243849 and rs1053605, may be useful for predicting CRC progression.

Project description:BackgroundThe identification of susceptibility genes for specific types of cancer can provide necessary information for the complete characterization of cancer syndromes. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs465498, rs17728461, rs4488809, rs753955, rs13361707, rs9841504, rs2274223, and rs13042395, were reported by genome wide association studies (GWASs) to be closely related to the susceptibility of lung cancer (LC), gastric cancer (GC) or esophageal cancer (EC) in Han population from northern or southern China. However, Chinese Han people from different geographic areas may have different genetic backgrounds. This study aims to assess the genetic associations of the eight SNPs mentioned above with three cancers risk in a Han population from northwest China.MethodsA total of 186 cancer-free controls and 436 cases with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (159 cases), non-cardia GC (167 cases) or EC (110 cases) were enrolled in this study. Chi-square test and polytomous logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the association between eight cancer-related SNPs and three cancers in a Han Chinese population from northwest China. The logistic regression results were adjusted for confounding factors and Benjamini and Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) method was used to adjust the multiple hypothesis tests. Association analyses by cigarette smoking or alcohol drinking status were analyzed by crossover analyses.ResultsOne of the eight SNPs, rs17728461 was associated with NSCLC susceptibility (in a heterozygous model, OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.27-0.72, p = 0.001). Two SNPs, rs753955 and rs13042395, were associated with the risk of non-cardia GC in different genetic models (p < 0.05). No SNPs were associated with EC. The crossover analyses showed that the rs13042395 CT genotype, combined with cigarette smoking or alcohol drinking, could further increase the risk for non-cardia GC (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThese results indicated that rs17728461 may be specifically associated with the risk of NSCLC. rs753955 and rs13042395 were specifically associated with susceptibility to non-cardia GC in Ningxia Han Chinese. Susceptibility-associated polymorphisms in the northwestern Han Chinese were not very consistent with those in the northern Han Chinese or southern Han Chinese. The validation of these findings with a functional evaluation and a larger population is still required.
