BREAST CANCER (DOVE MEDICAL PRESS) 2024; 16:127-139. [PMID: 38505863 PMCID: PMC10950081 DOI: 10.2147/bctt.s445753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
Purpose The therapeutic decision for the management of breast cancer (BC) patients is based on the evaluation of prognostic factors alongside clinical and pathological parameters. Despite the use of standard biomarkers, response and resistance to therapy represent a challenge for clinicians. Among the new potential biomarkers for BC the ZNF217 gene have gained importance in recent years. However, while associations between ZNF217 gene copy number and clinicopathological characteristics have been established, its correlation with treatment response remains unclear. Patients and Methods This study aimed to evaluate the ZNF217 gene copy number and establish its associations with treatment response in estrogen receptor positive (ERα+) and ERα negative (ERα-) BC cell lines. In addition, a validation of the relationship between ZNF217 gene copy number and its prognostic value was performed using datasets of BC patients retrieved from the cBioPortal public database. Results Our data show that in ERα+ cells, ZNF217 gene copy number increase (amplification), while cell proliferation decreases in response to standard drug treatments. In contrast, both ZNF217 gene copy number (gain) and cell proliferation increases in response to standard drug treatments in ERα- cells. The results obtained align with findings from the cBioPortal database analysis, demonstrating that ERα+/HER2- low proliferation patients, exhibiting ZNF217 gene amplification or gain, have a significantly higher survival probability after treatment, compared to ERα-/HER2- and HER2+ patients. Conclusion Our results suggest that in ERα+ BC cells, ZNF217 gene amplification could be indicative of a favorable response, while in ERα- BC cells, ZNF217 gene gain could be postulated as a potential predictor of treatment resistance. A broader understanding of the role of ZNF217 gene in treatment response, together with prospective studies in BC patients, could contribute to confirming our data, as well as optimizing existing treatments and exploring novel approaches to improve overall cancer treatment outcomes.

Abstract
MYB transcription factors are encoded by a large family of highly conserved genes from plants to vertebrates. There are three members of the MYB gene family in human, namely, MYB, MYBL1, and MYBL2 that encode MYB/c-MYB, MYBL1/A-MYB, and MYBL2/B-MYB, respectively. MYB was the first member to be identified as a cellular homolog of the v-myb oncogene carried by the avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) causing leukemia in chickens. Under the normal scenario, MYB is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic tissues, colonic crypts, and neural stem cells and plays a role in maintaining the undifferentiated state of the cells. Over the years, aberrant expression of MYB genes has been reported in several malignancies and recent years have witnessed tremendous progress in understanding of their roles in processes associated with cancer development. Here, we review various MYB alterations reported in cancer along with the roles of MYB family proteins in tumor cell plasticity, therapy resistance, and other hallmarks of cancer. We also discuss studies that provide mechanistic insights into the oncogenic functions of MYB transcription factors to identify potential therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Abstract
PURPOSE Association between variants rs1047972 and rs8173 of the AURKA gene in healthy women and breast cancer (BC) in a Mexican population. METHODS Genomic DNA samples from 409 healthy women and 572 patients with BC were analyzed for variants rs1047972 and rs8173 of the AURKA gene by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS TT genotype (odds ratio [OR], 2.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.22-5.11; p = 0.0015) and the T allele (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.23-2.12; p = 0.0007) of the rs1047972 variant were associated as risk susceptibility for BC relative to the control group. Contrarily, the GG genotype (OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.43-0.94; p = 0.029) was associated as a protective factor of susceptibility of BC of the variant rs8173 of the AURKA gene. Differences were observed in the patients with BC who were carriers of the CT genotype of the rs1047972 variant with overweight, obesity, estrogen receptor-positive plus obesity, Ki-67 (≥ 20%) plus history familial positive of cancer; and for variant rs8173 the BC patients who were CG carriers and presented chemotherapy gastric toxicity, hormonal receptor positive plus chemotherapy gastric toxicity, and menopause status plus chemotherapy gastric toxicity (p < 0.05). Two common haplotypes were identified in the study groups: CG and TC genotypes, were associated as a protective and risk factor, respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Variants rs1047972 and rs8173 of the AURKA gene and the TC haplotype were associated as risk susceptibility factors for BC in this population.

Abstract
As Douglas Hanahan and Robert Weinberg compiled, there are nine hallmarks of cancer that are conducive to cancer cell development and survival. Previous studies showed that brother of the regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS) might promote cancer progression through these aspects. The competition between BORIS and CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF), which is crucial in the formation of chromatin loops, affects the normal function of CTCF and leads to neoplasia and deformity. In addition, BORIS belongs to the cancer-testis antigen families, which are potential targets in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we discuss the function and mechanisms of BORIS, especially in cancer development.

MYBL2 alternative splicing-related genetic variants reduce the risk of triple-negative breast cancer in the Chinese population. Front Genet 2023; 14:1150976. [PMID: 37144133 PMCID: PMC10151490 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1150976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most malignant subtype of breast cancer, and studies have found an association between the Myb proto-oncogene like 2 (MYBL2) gene and TNBC development; however, the specific mechanisms underlying development remain unknown. Recent studies have reported the association of alternative splicing (AS) with cancer, providing new approaches to elucidate the carcinogenesis mechanism. This study aimed to identify MYBL2 AS-related genetic variants that influence the risk of developing TNBC, providing new ideas for probing the mechanism of TNBC and novel biomarkers for TNBC prevention. Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 217 patients with TNBC and 401 cancer-free controls. The CancerSplicingQTL database and HSF software were used to screen for MYBL2 AS-related genetic variants. The association of sample genotypes with the risk of TNBC development and with clinicopathological features was analysed via unconditional logistic regression. Combining multiple platforms, the candidate sites were subjected to biological function analysis. Results: Two AS-associated SNPs, rs285170 and rs405660, were identified using bioinformatics analysis. Logistic regression analysis showed that both rs285170 (OR = 0.541; 95% CI = 0.343-0.852; p = 0.008) and rs405660 (OR = 0.642; 95% CI = 0.469-0.879; p = 0.006) exhibited protective effects against TNBC under the additive model. Stratification analysis showed that these two SNPs had more significant protective effects in the Chinese population aged ≧50 years. Additionally, we found that rs405660 was associated with the risk of lymph node metastasis (OR = 0.396, 95% CI = 0.209-0.750, p = 0.005) in TNBC. Functional analysis revealed that both rs285170 and rs405660 are associated with splicing of exon 3 and that the exon 3-deleted spliceosome does not increase breast cancer risk. Conclusion: We found for the first time that MYBL2 AS-related genetic variants are associated with reduced TNBC susceptibility in the Chinese population, especially in women aged ≧50 years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Central nervous system (CNS) tumors comprise 15-20% of all malignancies occurring in childhood and adolescence. Previous researches have shown that overexpression and amplification of the AURKA gene could induce multiple human malignancies, with which the connection of CNS tumor susceptibility has not been extensively studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we assessed whether and to what extent AURKA gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1047972 C > T, rs2273535 T > A, rs8173 G > C) were associated with CNS tumor susceptibility, based on a case-control analysis in 191 CNS tumor patients and 248 controls. We determined this correlation using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS AURKA gene rs8173 G > C exhibited a crucial function to CNS tumor susceptibility fall-off (GC/CC vs. GG: adjusted OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.46-0.998, P = 0.049). In addition, the combined effect of lowering the risk of developing CNS tumors was more pronounced in carriers with 3 protective genotypes than others (adjusted OR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.31-0.98, P = 0.044). Further stratification analysis illustrated that the existence of rs8173 GC/CC and three protective genotypes lowered CNS tumor risk in some subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Our research suggested that the AURKA gene rs8173 G > C could significantly reduce CNS tumor susceptibility in Chinese children. More functional experiments are needed to explore the role of the AURKA gene rs8173 G > C.

Abstract
Purpose Although MYBL2 had been validated to participate in multiple cancers including leukemia, the role of MYBL2 polymorphisms in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was still not clear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between MYBL2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and ALL risk in children. Methods A total of 687 pediatric ALL cases and 971 cancer-free controls from two hospitals in South China were recruited. A case-control study by genotyping three SNPs in the MYBL2 gene (rs285162 C>T, rs285207 A>C, and rs2070235 A>G) was conducted. The associations were assessed by odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup and stratification analyses were conducted to explore the association of rs285207 with ALL risk in terms of age, sex, immunophenotype, risk level, and other clinical characteristics. The false-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis was performed to verify each significant finding. Functional analysis in silico was used to evaluate the probability that rs285207 might influence the regulation of MYBL2 . Results Our study demonstrated that rs285207 was related to a decreased ALL risk (adjusted OR = 0.78; 95% CI = 0.63-0.97, P = 0.022) in the dominant model. The associations of rs285207 with ALL risk appeared stronger in patients with pre B ALL (adjusted OR=0.56; 95% CI=0.38-0.84, P=0.004), with normal diploid (adjusted OR=0.73; 95% CI=0.57-0.95, P=0.017), with low risk (adjusted OR=0.68; 95% CI=0.49-0.94, P=0.021), with lower WBC (adjusted OR=0.62; 95% CI=0.43-0.87, P=0.007) or lower platelet level (adjusted OR=0.76; 95% CI=0.59-0.96, P=0.023). With FPRP analysis, the significant association between the rs285207 polymorphism and decreased ALL risk was still noteworthy (FPRP=0.128). Functional analysis showed that IKZF1 bound to DNA motif overlapping rs285207 and had a higher preference for the risk allele A. As for rs285162 C>T and rs2070235 A>G, no significant was found between them and ALL risk. Conclusion In this study, we revealed that rs285207 polymorphism decreased the ALL risk in children, and rs285207 might alter the binding to IKZF1, which indicated that the MYBL2 gene polymorphism might be a potential biomarker of childhood ALL.

Abstract
MYB transcription factors are highly conserved from plants to vertebrates, indicating that their functions embrace fundamental mechanisms in the biology of cells and organisms. In humans, the MYB gene family is composed of three members: MYB, MYBL1 and MYBL2, encoding the transcription factors MYB, MYBL1, and MYBL2 (also known as c-MYB, A-MYB, and B-MYB), respectively. A truncated version of MYB, the prototype member of the MYB family, was originally identified as the product of the retroviral oncogene v-myb, which causes leukaemia in birds. This led to the hypothesis that aberrant activation of vertebrate MYB could also cause cancer. Despite more than three decades have elapsed since the isolation of v-myb, only recently investigators were able to detect MYB genes rearrangements and mutations, smoking gun evidence of the involvement of MYB family members in human cancer. In this review, we will highlight studies linking the activity of MYB family members to human malignancies and experimental therapeutic interventions tailored for MYB-expressing cancers.

Abstract
Background Genetic factors are important in determining breast density, and heritable factors account for 60% of the variation. Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with density and risk of breast cancer but the association with prognosis is not clear. Purpose To investigate associations between selected SNPs and breast cancer survival in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS). Material and Methods A total of 724 unrelated women with breast cancer and registered radiological and pathological data were identified in MDCS 1991–2007, with genotyping available for 672 women. Associations among 15 SNPs, density, and breast cancer-specific survival were analyzed using logistic/Cox regression, adjusted for factors affecting density and survival. Variants significantly associated with either density or survival were validated in a large independent breast cancer cohort (LIBRO-1). Results Minor homozygotes of SNPs rs9383589, CCDC170 and rs6557161, ESR1 were associated with high breast density (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 8.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35–59.57; AOR 2.08, 95% CI 1.19–3.65, respectively) and poorer breast cancer survival (adjusted hazard ratio [HRadj] 6.46, 95% CI 1.95–21.39; HRadj 2.30, 95% CI 1.33–3.96, respectively) compared to major homozygotes. For SNP rs3757318, ESR1, minor homozygotes (HRadj 7.46, 95% CI 2.28–24.45) were associated with poorer survival. We confirmed that rs6557161, ESR1 was significantly associated with both density and survival in the LIBRO-1 study. Conclusion These findings support a shared genetic basis for density and breast cancer survival. The SNP significantly associated with both density and survival in both cohorts may be of interest in future research investigating polygenic risk scores for breast cancer risk and screening stratification purposes.

Abstract
Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is a cell cycle regulatory serine/threonine kinase that promotes cell cycle progression. It plays an important role in regulating the transition from G2 to M phase during mitosis. The association between the AURKA rs2273535 T>A polymorphism and cancer risk has been investigated, but the results remain inconsistent. To get a more accurate conclusion, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of 36 case-control studies, involving 22,884 cancer cases and 30,497 healthy controls. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to determine the association of interest. Pooled analysis indicated that the AURKA rs2273535 T>A polymorphism increased the overall risk of cancer (homozygous: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.04-1.33; recessive: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.05-1.25; allele: OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.02-1.13). Stratification analysis by cancer type further showed that this polymorphism was associated with an increased breast cancer risk. This meta-analysis indicated that the AURKA rs2273535 T>A polymorphism was associated with an overall increased cancer risk, especially breast cancer. Further validation experiments are needed to strengthen our conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) risk, development, and prognosis were closely related to obesity, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 1 (PTPN1) located on chromosome 20q13, could negatively regulate insulin and leptin signaling. In this study, we determined the association of PTPN1 polymorphisms with BC risk. METHODS We analyzed the distribution of 11 selected PTPN1 single nucleotide polymorphisms in Chinese female patients with BC (n = 953) and healthy controls (n = 963) based on a multicenter case-control study. The association of PTPN1 genotypes and haplotypes frequencies with BC risk were determined by logistic regression analysis. Analyses were further stratified by body mass index (BMI), waist-hip rate (WHR), diabetes mellitus history, and fasting plasma glucose level. The eQTL (expression Quantitative Trait Loci) analysis for PTPN1 was conducted by GTEx database. RESULTS There were significant differences between BC cases and control groups in menopausal status, number of births, and BMI. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs3215684, rs3787345, rs718049, and rs718050) decreased overall BC risk, and other seven SNPs showed no significant association with BC risk. In multivariate analysis, BMI and rs3215684 DT + DD genotype were identified as independent risk factors for BC, and mutated genotypes of rs3215684 were correlated with increased PTPN1 expression. There are no haplotypes showed different frequencies between cases and controls. In the stratified analysis, rs2206656 showed a significant association with decreased BC risk in the subgroup of BMI ≤ 24 kg/m 2 , while rs3215684 and rs718049 showed lower BC risk in the subgroup of WHR > 0.85. Seven SNPs showed lower BC risk in the subgroup with diabetes mellitus history and/or fasting plasma glucose level ≥ 7 mM, while rs754118 decreased BC risk in the subgroup of fasting plasma glucose level < 7 mM. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that PTPN1 SNPs associated with BC susceptibility in Chinese females, which also suggested a novel mechanism between obesity, diabetes mellitus, and BC risk.

Abstract
Gene expression changes within the Hippo pathway were found to be associated with large tumor size and metastasis in breast cancer. The combined effect of genetic variants in genes of this pathway may have a causal role in breast cancer development. We examined 7086 SNPs that were not highly correlated (r2 < 0.8) in 35 Hippo pathway genes using data from the genome-wide association study of breast cancer from the Root Consortium, which includes 3686 participants of African ancestry from Nigeria, United States of America, and Barbados: 1657 cases (403 estrogen receptor-positive [ER+], 374 ER-) and 2029 controls. Gene-level analyses were conducted using improved AdaJoint test for large-scale genetic association studies adjusting for age, study site and the first four eigenvectors from the principal component analysis. SNP-level analyses were conducted with logistic regression. The Hippo pathway was significantly associated with risk of ER+ breast cancer (pathway-level P = 0.019), with WWC1 (Padj = 0.04) being the leading gene. The pathway-level significance was lost without WWC1 (P = 0.12). rs147106204 in the WWC1 gene was the most statistically significant SNP after gene-level adjustment for multiple comparisons (OR = 0.53, 95%CI = 0.41-0.70, Padj = 0.025). We found evidence of an association between genetic variations in the Hippo pathway and ER+ breast cancer. Moreover, WWC1 was identified as the most important genetic susceptibility locus highlighting the importance of genetic epidemiology studies of breast cancer in understudied populations.

Abstract
Purpose Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is more than a single disease. Identifying biomarkers to further subdivide TNBC patients with distinct outcome is of great importance. It has been reported that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Aurora kinase A (AURKA) or Aurora kinase B (AURKB) are associated with the risk and survival of several cancers. But till now, there is no research about these polymorphisms in TNBC patients. Materials and methods In this study, we investigated the association between polymorphisms in AURKA or AURKB gene and prognosis of TNBC patients treated with taxane-based adjuvant chemotherapy. A total of 273 TNBC patients were enrolled. Haploview 4.2 software was used to identify Tag SNPs. Genotyping was conducted using the MassARRAY MALDI-TOF system. Results We found that AURKA rs6099128 GG genotype carriers had significantly worse overall survival (OS) than TT+ TG genotype carriers (P = 0.003, HR = 12.499, 95% CI = 2.357–66.298). AURKB rs11651993 TT genotype carriers had better disease-free survival (DFS) than TC + CC genotype carriers (P = 0.018, HR = 1.876, 95% CI = 1.116–3.154). AURKB rs2289590 CC genotype carriers had worse DFS than CA + AA genotype carriers (P = 0.021, HR = 0.536, 95% CI = 0.315–0.912). After subgroup analysis, rs11651993 TC + CC genotype predicted worse DFS in subgroups of age ≤ 50, post-menopausal, grade unknown (UK), tumor size >2 cm, and lymph node negative. Rs2289590 CA + AA genotype could predict favorable DFS in pre-menopausal, grade 3 and lymph node-positive patients. Conclusion We first demonstrated that polymorphisms in AURKA or AURKB gene might predict the OS or DFS of TNBC patients treated with taxane-based adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Limitless cell proliferation, evasion from apoptosis, dedifferentiation, metastatic spread and therapy resistance: all these properties of a cancer cell contribute to its malignant phenotype and affect patient outcome. MYBL2 (alias B-Myb) is a transcription factor of the MYB transcription factor family and a physiological regulator of cell cycle progression, cell survival and cell differentiation. When deregulated in cancer cells, MYBL2 mediates the deregulation of these properties. In fact, MYBL2 is overexpressed and associated with poor patient outcome in numerous cancer entities. MYBL2 and players of its downstream transcriptional network can be used as prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers as well as potential therapeutic targets to offer less toxic and more specific anti-cancer therapies in future. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the physiological roles of MYBL2 and highlight the impact of its deregulation on cancer initiation and progression.

Abstract
The key signature of cancer genomes is the accumulation of DNA mutations, the most abundant of which is the cytosine-to-thymine (C-to-T) transition that results from cytosine deamination. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database has demonstrated that this transition is caused mainly by upregulation of the cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B (A3B), but the mechanism has not been completely characterized. We found that B-Myb (encoded by MYBL2) binds the A3B promoter, causing transactivation, and this is responsible for the C-to-T transitions and DNA hypermutation in breast cancer cells. Analysis of TCGA database yielded similar results, supporting that MYBL2 and A3B are upregulated and putatively promote C-to-T transitions in multiple cancer types. Moreover, blockade of EGF receptor with afatinib attenuated B-Myb-A3B signaling, suggesting a clinically relevant means of suppressing mutagenesis. Our results suggest that B-Myb-A3B contributes to DNA damage and could be targeted by inhibiting EGF receptor.

Abstract
The recently described oncogene ZNF217 belongs to a chromosomal region that is frequently amplified in human cancers. Recent findings have revealed that alternative mechanisms such as epigenetic regulation also govern the expression of the encoded ZNF217 protein. Newly discovered molecular functions of ZNF217 indicate that it orchestrates complex intracellular circuits as a new key regulator of tumorigenesis. In this review, we focus on recent research on ZNF217-driven molecular functions in human cancers, revisiting major hallmarks of cancer and highlighting the downstream molecular targets and signaling pathways of ZNF217. We also discuss the exciting translational medicine investigating ZNF217 expression levels as a new powerful biomarker, and ZNF217 as a candidate target for future anti-cancer therapies.

Abstract
Background: Young women with breast cancer experience inferior outcome and commonly manifest aggressive biological subtypes. Data is controversial regarding biological differences between breast tumors in young (diagnosed at <40 years of age) versus older women. We hypothesize there may be age-related expression differences in key genes for proliferation, invasion and metastasis within and across breast cancer subtypes, and that these differences correlate with outcome. Methods: Using clinically-annotated gene expression data from 778 breast tumors from three public databases, we compared clinico-pathologic characteristics, mRNA expression of 17 selected genes, and outcome, as a function of age (< 40 years vs. ≥ 40 years). Results: 14 of 17 genes were differentially expressed in tumors of young vs. older women, 4 of which persisted after correction for subtype and grade (p ≤0.05). BUB1, KRT5, and MYCN were overexpressed and CXCL2 underexpressed in young women. In multivariate analysis, overexpression of cytokeratin genes predicted inferior DFS only for young women. Overexpression of ANGPTL4 strongly predicted inferior DFS in basal but not HER2-enriched tumors in young women. Overexpression of cytokeratin genes and MYBL2 and low SNAI1 expression correlated with inferior DFS in HER2-enriched tumors in younger women. Kaplan-Meier analysis within the basal and HER2-enriched subgroups showed that overexpression of cytokeratin genes was associated with inferior DFS for young, but not older women. Conclusions: This preliminary study reveals age- and subtype-related differences in expression of key breast cancer genes for proliferation, invasion and metastasis, which correlate with prognostic differences in young women and suggest targeted therapies.

Abstract
The survival of breast cancer patients is largely influenced by tumor characteristics, such as TNM stage, tumor grade and hormone receptor status. However, there is growing evidence that inherited genetic variation might affect the disease prognosis and response to treatment. Several lines of evidence suggest that alleles influencing breast cancer risk might also be associated with breast cancer survival. We examined the associations between 35 breast cancer susceptibility loci and the disease over-all survival (OS) in 10,255 breast cancer patients from the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium (BPC3) of which 1,379 died, including 754 of breast cancer. We also conducted a meta-analysis of almost 35,000 patients and 5,000 deaths, combining results from BPC3 and the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) and performed in silico analyses of SNPs with significant associations. In BPC3, the C allele of LSP1-rs3817198 was significantly associated with improved OS (HRper-allele =0.70; 95% CI: 0.58-0.85; ptrend = 2.84 × 10(-4) ; HRheterozygotes = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.55-0.92; HRhomozygotes = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.31-0.76; p2DF = 1.45 × 10(-3) ). In silico, the C allele of LSP1-rs3817198 was predicted to increase expression of the tumor suppressor cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C (CDKN1C). In the meta-analysis, TNRC9-rs3803662 was significantly associated with increased death hazard (HRMETA =1.09; 95% CI: 1.04-1.15; ptrend = 6.6 × 10(-4) ; HRheterozygotes = 0.96 95% CI: 0.90-1.03; HRhomozygotes = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.09-1.35; p2DF =1.25 × 10(-4) ). In conclusion, we show that there is little overlap between the breast cancer risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified so far and the SNPs associated with breast cancer prognosis, with the possible exceptions of LSP1-rs3817198 and TNRC9-rs3803662.

Abstract
Dysregulation of MYBL2 has been associated to tumorigenesis and the S427G polymorphism could induce partial inactivation of MYBL2, associating it with cancer risk. It has previously been shown that MYBL2 was over-expressed in some acute myeloid leukemias (AML), portending poor prognosis. However, to date no studies have investigated the S427G or other genetic variants of MYBL2 in AML. This study analyzed the S427G in 197 AML patients and 179 controls and screened the MYBL2 sequence in patients. In contrast to other studies in solid tumors, the S427G was not associated with the incidence of AML. This study detected four unannotated genetic alterations, of which the Q67X could be involved in MYBL2 dysfunction. Eight polymorphisms were identified, among which the rs73116571, located in a splicing region, was associated with higher incidence in AML and weaker MYBL2 expression, suggesting pre-disposition to AML. Additional functional studies should be performed to verify these genetic variations as possible targets in AML.

Abstract
The rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene had proven to be associated with breast carcinoma susceptibility. Nevertheless, the results of different studies remain contradictory. A meta-analysis covering 28, 789 subjects from eleven different studies was here carried out in order to investigate the association in detail. The random effects model was used to analyze the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). A significant relationship between the rs2273535 polymorphism and breast tumors was found in an allelic genetic model (OR: 1.076, 95% CI: 1.004-1.153, p=0.040, Pheterogeneity=0.002). No significant association was detected in a homozygote model (OR: 1.186, 95% CI: 0.990-1.423, P=0.065, Pheterogeneity=0.002), a heterozygote model (OR: 1.016, 95% CI: 0.959-1.076, p=0.064, Pheterogeneity=0.000), a dominant genetic model (OR: 1.147, 95% CI: 0.992-1.325, p=0.217, Pheterogeneity=0.294) and a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.093, 95% CI: 0.878- 1.361, p=0.425, Pheterogeneity=0.707). A significant relationship between the rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene and breast tumor in Asian group was found in an allelic genetic model (OR: 1.124, 95% CI: 1.003-1.29, p=0.044, Pheterogeneity=0.034), a homozygote model (OR: 1.229, 95% CI: 1.038-1.455, p=0.016, Pheterogeneity=0.266) and a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.227, 95% CI: 1.001-1.504, p=0.049, Pheterogeneity=0.006). A significant association was thus observed between the rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene and breast cancer risk. Individuals with the rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene have a higher risk of breast cancer in Asian populations, but not in Caucasians.

Abstract
While interplay between BRCA1 and AURKA-RHAMM-TPX2-TUBG1 regulates mammary epithelial polarization, common genetic variation in HMMR (gene product RHAMM) may be associated with risk of breast cancer in BRCA1 mutation carriers. Following on these observations, we further assessed the link between the AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 functional module and risk of breast cancer in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. Forty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 15,252 BRCA1 and 8,211 BRCA2 mutation carriers and subsequently analyzed using a retrospective likelihood approach. The association of HMMR rs299290 with breast cancer risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers was confirmed: per-allele hazard ratio (HR) = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.15, p = 1.9 x 10(-4) (false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p = 0.043). Variation in CSTF1, located next to AURKA, was also found to be associated with breast cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers: rs2426618 per-allele HR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.03-1.16, p = 0.005 (FDR-adjusted p = 0.045). Assessment of pairwise interactions provided suggestions (FDR-adjusted pinteraction values > 0.05) for deviations from the multiplicative model for rs299290 and CSTF1 rs6064391, and rs299290 and TUBG1 rs11649877 in both BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Following these suggestions, the expression of HMMR and AURKA or TUBG1 in sporadic breast tumors was found to potentially interact, influencing patients' survival. Together, the results of this study support the hypothesis of a causative link between altered function of AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 and breast carcinogenesis in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

Association between genetic polymorphisms in AURKA (rs2273535 and rs1047972) and breast cancer risk: a meta-analysis involving 37,221 subjects. Cancer Cell Int 2014; 14:91. [PMID: 25253995 PMCID: PMC4173109 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-014-0091-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2014] [Accepted: 09/01/2014] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Published data on the association between AURKA polymorphisms and breast cancer (BC) risk are inconclusive. This meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation on the relationship between AURKA polymorphisms (rs2273535 and rs1047972) and BC risk. Methods PubMed, Web of Knowledge and Embase were searched for relevant studies. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the strength of associations. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed for allele contrast genetic model, homozygous genetic model, heterozygote genetic model, dominant model, and recessive model, respectively. Results A total of 13 studies (16,349 BC patients and 20,872 case-free controls) were involved in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis showed that there was significant association between rs2273535 and BC risk in three genetic models in the overall population (A vs. T: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.01–1.15, P = 0.02; AA vs. TT: OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.06-1.73, P < 0.00001; AA vs. TT + TA: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.01-1.31, P = 0.04). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the effects remained in Asians (allele contrast genetic model: OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.00-1.26, P = 0.04 and homozygote comparison: OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.06-1.41, P = 0.007). However, no genetic models reached statistical association in Cauasians. Rs1047972 polymorphism was associated with BC risk in the overall population based on homozygote comparison (AA vs. GG: OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.66-0.99, P = 0.04). When stratified by ethnicity, rs1047972 polymorphism had a decreased association with BC risk in Caucasians based on allele contrast genetic model, homozygote comparison, the dominant model and the recessive model. However, there was no association in any genetic model in Asians. Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that AURKA rs2273535 polymorphism has an increased risk with BC, especially in Asians. However, rs1047972 polymorphism has a decreased BC risk in Caucasians. Further large scale multicenter epidemiological studies are warranted to confirm this finding.

STK15 rs2273535 polymorphism and cancer risk: a meta-analysis of 74,896 subjects. Cancer Epidemiol 2013; 38:111-7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the serine/threonine kinase 15 (STK15) T91A rs2273535 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to cancer. However, the results are conflicting. We performed this meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship. METHODS PubMed was searched to select studies. Case-control studies containing available genotype frequencies of the STK15 rs2273535 polymorphism were chosen, and the odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was utilized to assess the strength of association. RESULTS 52 studies - including 34,057 cases and 40,839 controls - were identified. A significant effect of the STK15 rs2273535 polymorphism on cancer risk was found (AA vs. TT: OR=1.13, 95%CI=1.01-1.26, Pheterogeneity<0.001; AA vs. TA/TT OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.02-1.22, Pheterogeneity<0.001; TA/AA vs. TT: OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.01-1.12, Pheterogeneity<0.001). Stratified analysis by cancer type revealed that the STK rs2273535 polymorphism may contribute to the risk of breast cancer (AA vs. TT: OR=1.21, 95%CI=1.01-1.44, Pheterogeneity=0.002), colorectal cancer (AA vs. TA/TT OR=1.24, 95%CI=1.05-1.47, Pheterogeneity=0.124), and esophageal cancer (AA vs. TA/TT OR=1.19, 95%CI=1.02-1.39, Pheterogeneity=0.148). Further subgroup analysis by ethnicity indicated that there was a statistically increased cancer risk in Asians (AA vs. TA/TT OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.05-1.37, Pheterogeneity=0.004). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that the STK15 rs2273535 polymorphism is a candidate gene polymorphism for cancer susceptibility, especially in Asian populations.

Abstract
Tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins serves as an exquisite switch in controlling several key oncogenic signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Since protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) counteract protein kinases by removing phosphate moieties on target proteins, one may intuitively think that PTPs would act as tumor suppressors. Indeed, one of the most described PTPs, namely, the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), is a tumor suppressor. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that PTPs can also function as potent oncoproteins. In this chapter, we provide a broad historical overview of the PTPs, their mechanism of action, and posttranslational modifications. Then, we focus on the dual properties of classical PTPs (receptor and nonreceptor) and dual-specificity phosphatases in cancer and summarize the current knowledge of the signaling pathways regulated by key PTPs in human cancer. In conclusion, we present our perspective on the potential of these PTPs to serve as therapeutic targets in cancer.

Breast Cancer Res Treat 2011; 131:1039-47. [PMID: 22037783 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-011-1826-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2011] [Accepted: 10/07/2011] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
MYBL2 is a transcription factor, which regulates the expression of genes involved in cancer progression. In this study, we investigated whether putative functional variants in genes regulating MYBL2 (E2F1, E2F3 and E2F4) or in genes, which are regulated by MYBL2 (BCL2, BIRC5, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL5A2, ERBB2, CLU, LIN9 and TOP2A) affect breast cancer (BC) susceptibility and clinical outcome. Twenty-eight SNPs were genotyped in a population-based series of 782 Swedish BC cases and 1,559 matched controls. BC-specific survival analysis of BIRC5 suggested that carriers of the minor allele of rs8073069 and rs1042489 have a worse survival compared with the major homozygotes (HR 2.46, 95% CI 1.39-4.36 and HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.01-3.25, respectively). The poor survival was observed especially in women with aggressive tumours. Multivariate analysis supported the role of rs8073069 as an independent prognostic marker. For BCL2, minor allele carriers of rs1564483 were more likely to have hormone receptor-positive tumours than the major homozygotes. Another SNP in BCL2, rs4987852, was associated with tumour stages II-IV and histologic grade 3. In CLU, the minor allele carriers of rs9331888 were more likely to have tumours with regional lymph node metastasis and stages II-IV than the major homozygotes. In conclusion, our study suggests a role of genetic variation in BIRC5, BCL2 and CLU as progression and prognostic markers for BC, supporting previous studies based on the expression of the genes.
