Project description:Background The nucleotide excision repair (NER) system is one of the most important deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair mechanisms and is critical for chemotherapy resistance. We conducted the present study to investigate the association between two polymorphisms of excision of repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1), the key component of the NER pathway, and the clinicopathological features of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 38 patients with confirmed NSCLC were included in our study. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood. ERCC1 rs3212986 (8092) and rs11615 (118) were genotyped using molecular assays including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with restriction fragment length polymorphism (by MboII and HpyCH4 enzymes) and sequencing. Results The PCR results indicated the correct performance of the genomics extraction and molecular protocols. The distribution of C/C, C/A and A/A genotypes at position 8092 was 42.10%, 47.36%, and 10.52% respectively (P=0.03). Multivariate regression analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between C8092A (rs3212986) polymorphism and metastasis, grade of the tumor, and response to treatment. Individuals carrying the rs3212986 CA genotype and A allele had a significantly worse response to the treatment. Also, the correlation between alteration at this genomics location and patients with NSCLC who used to smoke cigarettes was positive. However, no significant association was detected between rs11615 C118>T polymorphism and demographic characteristics of patients with NSCLC. Conclusion We concluded that in lung cancer patients there is a relationship between tumor stage and rs3212986C>A polymorphism.

Project description:The fibroblast growth factor-4 receptor (FGFR4) is a member of receptor tyrosine kinase. The FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism in the transmembrane domain of the receptor has been shown to increase genetic susceptibility to cancers. However, its prognostic impact in cancer patients still remains controversial. Herein, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic impacts of the FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism in patients with cancer. We carried out a computerized extensive search using PubMed, Medline, and Ovid Medline databases up to July 2021. From 44 studies, 11,574 patients were included in the current meta-analysis. Regardless of the genetic models, there was no significant correlation of the FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism with disease stage 3/4. In the homozygous model (Arg/Arg vs. Gly/Gly), the Arg/Arg genotype tended to show higher rate of lymph node metastasis compared with the Gly/Gly genotype (odds ratio = 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.99-1.49, p = 0.06). Compared to patients with the Arg/Gly or Arg/Arg genotype, those with the Gly/Gly genotype had significantly better overall survival (hazard ratios (HR) = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.05-1.35, p = 0.006) and disease-free survival (HR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.03-1.53, p = 0.02). In conclusion, this meta-analysis showed that the FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism was significantly associated with worse prognosis in cancer patients. Our results suggest that this polymorphism may be a valuable genetic marker to identify patients at higher risk of recurrence or mortality.

Project description:LINC00341 is a novel long intergenic non-protein coding RNA with unknown functions. In our report, we investigated LINC00341 expression and its prognostic value in cancer patients. DNA over-methylation triggered low expression of LINC00341 and that was associated with poor prognosis in cancers. A meta-analysis further confirmed that high expression of LINC00341 was associated with a better prognosis in cancer patients. Both gene set enrichment analysis and meta-analysis showed that LINC00341 inhibited cancer metastasis. Finally, a large-scale multicentre analysis supported a prognostic value of LINC00341 in cancers.

Project description:BackgroundThe 5-year survival rate of patients with lung cancer in China is less than 20% and predicting their prognosis is challenging. We investigated the association between a common non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs7214723, in the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase 1 (CAMKK1) gene and the prognosis of patients with lung cancer.MethodsGenomic DNA was extracted from the blood samples of 839 patients with lung cancer, recruited from Changhai Hospital (n = 536) and Taizhou Institute of Health Sciences (n = 352), and genotyped using the SNPscan technique. The association between patient prognosis and the genotypic data for CAMKK1 was analyzed using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for multiple potential confounders. The CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system was used to introduce point mutations in the CAMKK1 rs7214723 of A549 and NCI-H358 cells. Subsequently, Cell proliferation and migration ability were assessed with the Cell Counting Kit-8 and scratch assay. The Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit was used to detect cell apoptosis.ResultsThe CAMKK1 rs7214723 recessive CC genotype conferred significantly better overall survival (CC vs. TT + TC: adjusted hazard ratio = 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-1.00, P = 0.049) than the TT + TC genotypes. Stratified analysis showed that the CAMKK1 rs7214723 CC genotype and recessive CC genotype conferred a significantly decreased risk of death in patients who were male, had a smoking history, or had stage III + IV cancer, compared with the TT and TT + TC genotypes. Relative to the TT + TC genotypes, the rs7214723 recessive CC genotype was also associated with a decreased risk of death in patients aged < 60 years (CC vs. TT + TC: adjusted hazard ratio = 0.59, 95% CI, 0.37-0.93, P = 0.024) and patients with squamous cell carcinoma (CC vs. TT + TC: adjusted hazard ratio = 0.65, 95% CI, 0.44-0.98, P = 0.038). Remarkably, CRISPR/Cas9-guided single nucleotide editing demonstrated that CAMKK1 rs7214723 T > C mutation significantly inhibits cell proliferation and migration and promotes cell apoptosis.ConclusionsCAMKK1 SNP rs7214723 may be a significant prognostic factor for the risk of death among patients with lung cancer.

Project description:Objectivep53 gene, as "the guardian of the genome", is the most widely studied tumor suppressor gene. Previous studies have shown that about 50 percent of tumors have P53 dysfunction. This article aims to retrospectively analyze the correlation between p53 rs1625895 polymorphism and the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).MethodsPCR combined with Sanger sequencing were used to detect rs1625895 genotype in 384 DLBCL patients. The relationship between rs1625895 polymorphisms and the clinical characteristics, first-line therapeutic effects and the prognosis of the patients were analyzed.ResultsAmong all the patients, 2 (0.5%) patients with AA genotype, 34 (8.9%) patients with AG genotype and 348 (90.6%) patients with GG genotype were identified. The patients with different rs1625895 genotypes did not have any difference in terms of age, gender, B symptoms (developing any of the following symptoms: unexplained recurrent fever (often above 38 °C), night sweats, and unexplained weight loss of 10% within 6 months ), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), international prognostic index (IPI) and molecular subtype (P>0.05). The overall response rate (ORR) was 82.9% and 82.8% in AA/AG and GG, respectively. There was no significant difference between the first-line therapeutic effects of the two groups (P>0.05). And there was also no difference between A allele carriers and homozygous G allele carriers for the 5-year progressionfree survival rate (PFS) (71.8% vs. 62.3%, χ2=1.351, P=0.245) and 5-year overall survival rate (OS) (72.2% vs. 64.1%, χ2=1.267, P=0.260). But in the subgroup with Germinal Center B-cell (GCB) type, the patients carrying A allele for rs1625895 had an obviously longer PFS (91.7% vs. 72.7%, χ2=4.493, P=0.034) and OS (91.7% vs. 76.7%, χ2=4.246, P=0.039) compared with the patients homozygous for the G allele. As for the patients with non-GCB subtype, there was no significant difference in PFS and OS between different rs1625895 genotypes (P>0.05). According to whether the first-line regimen contained rituximab or not, the patients were divided into two groups treated with cyclophosphoramide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) or with rituximab and CHOP (R-CHOP). But in both subgroups, there was no significant difference in the 5-year PFS and OS between the AA/AG and GG patients, too (P>0.05).ConclusionFor DLBCL patients receiving CHOP regimen chemotherapy in the first line, p53 rs1625895 cannot predict the clinical efficacy and prognosis of the patients, but in the patients with GCB subtype, this polymorphism may be a prognostic indicator.

Project description:Background and objectiveThe transport of nucleoside transmembrane mediated by equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) plays an important role in regulating various cellular functions, and the ENT gene may be candidate gene of tumors. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the single nudcleotide polymorphism (SNP) of ENT3 and the hereditary susceptibility of lung cancer.MethodsA case-control study was performed involved in 351 lung cancer patients and 207 cancer-free controls from Chinese population in Shanghai pulmonary hospital. The rs10999776 (C>T) polymorphism was determined by using Real-time PCR with AllGlo probes. The frequency distribution of genotypes and allele between lung cancer and controls groups was analyzed by chi-square test. The association between polymorphism in the ENT3 gene with the risk of lung cancer was estimated by computing odds ration (OR) and 95%CI.ResultsThe genotype (CC, TC, IT) and allele distribution of the ENT3 SNP in the patients with lung cancer was not significantly different compared with that in controls (P > 0.05). Compared with never-smokers with wild homozygous genotype, smokers with T allele (TC+TT) had increased risk of lung cancer (OR = 2.848, 95% CI: 1.536-4.879, P = 0.005), and those with pack-years of smoking more than 30 had higher risk (OR = 3.076, 95% CI: 2.308-6.741, P = 0.001). And the risk of squamous cell carcinoma significantly increased in smokers, especially those with T allele (TC+TI) genotype (OR = 6.066, 95% CI: 2.884-12.758, P < 0.001). The genotype with smoking conditions had no significant effect on adenocarcinoma (all P > 0.05).ConclusionThe results suggested rs10999776 polymorphism may implicate in the risk of squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese population which may interact with smoking-exposure.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a multifactorial malignancy, and its high incidence and mortality rate remain a global public health burden. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that has been shown to play a key role in cancer development and prognosis via the activation of its downstream oncogenic signaling pathways. The present study aimed to explore the impact of FGFR4 gene polymorphisms on the risk and progression of CRC. Three FGFR4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs1966265, rs351855, and rs7708357, were evaluated in 413 CRC cases and 413 gender- and age-matched cancer-free controls. We did not observe any significant association of three individual SNPs with the risk of CRC between the case and control group. However, while assessing the clinicopathological parameters, patients of rectal cancer possessing at least one minor allele of rs1966265 (AG and GG; AOR, 0.236; p = 0.046) or rs351855 (GA and AA; AOR, 0.191; p = 0.022) were found to develop less metastasis as compared to those who are homozygous for the major allele. Further analyses using the datasets from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Portal and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) revealed that rs351855 regulated FGFR4 expression in many human tissues, and increased FGFR4 levels were associated with the occurrence, advanced stage, and distal metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma. These data suggest that the amino acid change in combination with altered expression levels of FGFR4 due to genetic polymorphisms may affect CRC progression.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes. Several genetic variants of FGFR4 have been shown to be associated with tumor progression in many cancers. However, its association, such as genetic variants and expression levels, with lung cancer is controversial. The present study examined the relationship between four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2011077 T/C, rs351855 G/A, rs7708357 G/A, and rs1966265 A/G) of FGFR4 and the risk of lung adenocarcinoma with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in a Taiwanese cohort. The results demonstrated that FGFR4 rs2011077 (odds ratio (OR) = 0.348, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.136-0.891, p = 0.024), and rs351855 (OR = 0.296, 95% CI = 0.116-0.751, p = 0.008) showed an inverse association with distant metastasis in wild-type EGFR lung adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, a database analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed that the higher FGFR4 expression level was correlated with poor survival rates in wild-type EGFR lung adenocarcinoma. In conclusion, the data suggest that FGFR4 SNPs may help in identifying patient subgroups at low-risk for tumor metastasis, among carriers of lung adenocarcinoma bearing wild-type EGFR.

Project description:The fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is thought to be involved in many critical cellular processes and has been associated with prostate cancer risk. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within or near FGFR4 were analyzed in a population-based study of 1458 prostate cancer patients and 1352 age-matched controls. We found no evidence to suggest that any of the FGFR4 SNP genotypes were associated with prostate cancer risk or with disease aggressiveness, Gleason score or stage. A weak association was seen between rs351855 and prostate cancer-specific mortality. Subset analysis of cases that had undergone radical prostatectomy revealed an association between rs351855 and prostate cancer risk. Although our results confirm an association between FGFR4 and prostate cancer risk in radical prostatectomy cases, they suggest that the role of FGFR4 in disease risk and outcomes at a population-based level appears to be minor.

Project description:Background: It has been shown that the prognosis of malignant tumors was closely related to the composition and function of immune system, which was associated with genomic features. However, the prognostic value of peripheral T lymphocyte subsets and its relationship with genomic features in lung cancer has not been analyzed extensively. Therefore, this study was intended to evaluate the relationship between lymphocyte subsets and the prognosis and genomic features of lung cancer. Methods: 598 lung cancer patients with complete data were included in this study between 2011 and 2018. Kaplan-Meier method and Pearson analyses were conducted to study the prognostic value of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ T lymphocytes and the rate of CD4/CD8. Results: Patients with EGFR mutation has lower mean percentage of CD8+ lymphocytes than patients with EGFR wild-type (24.71 versus 26.62, respectively, P=0.041). Patients with high CD3 had better OS than those with low (27 versus 14 months, P=0.002). Patients with higher CD4 and CD4/CD8 rate had longer OS than with lower (27 versus 12 months, P=0.002; 25 versus 9 months, P=0.008, respectively). Patients with high CD8 had poor PFS than low group (6 versus 11 months, P=0.009). There was a negative correlation between CD3+ and CD4+ cells and OS in smoking stage Ⅱ female lung cancer patients (PCC = 0.626, P<0.05; PCC = 0.534, P<0.05, respectively). In stage Ⅰ male lung cancer patients, CD8+T cell is negatively correlated with OS and PFS (PCC = 0.295, P<0.05; PCC = 0.280, P<0.05, respectively) Conclusions: Lung cancer patients with EGFR mutation had lower percentage of CD8+ lymphocytes. Lymphocyte subsets might be potential prognostic biomarkers of lung cancer, but they are affected by gender and tumor stage.
