Abstract
Background Genetic susceptibilities play a large role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer (LC). The polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a conserved chromatin-associated complex that represses gene expression and is crucial for proper organismal development and gene expression patterns. Despite PRC2 dysregulation has been observed in various human cancers, the relationship between PRC2 genes variants and lung cancer risk remains largely unexplored. Methods To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PRC2 genes and the risk of developing LC, we genotyped blood genomic DNA from 270 LC patients and 452 healthy individuals of Chinese Han ethnicity using the TaqMan™ genotyping technique. Results We found that rs17171119T>G(adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.662, 95% CI: 0.467-0.938, P < 0.05), rs10898459 T>C(adjusted OR = 0.615, 95% CI: 0.4-0.947, P < 0.05), and rs1136258 C>T(adjusted OR = 0.273, 95% CI: 0.186-0.401, P < 0.001) were significantly associated with a reduced risk of LC. Stratified analysis revealed a protective effect of rs17171119 in both male and female patients, specifically those with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Additionally, rs1391221 showed a protective effect in both the LUAD and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) groups, while rs1136258 exhibited a protective effect in both females and males, as well as in both LUAD and LUSC groups. Furthermore, analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset revealed expression levels of EED and RBBP4 in both LUAD and LUSC. Conclusion This study provides evidence that allelic variants in EZH2, EED, and RBBP4 may act as protective factors against LC development and could serve as genetic markers associated with susceptibility to LC.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and serious types of malignancy worldwide. The embryonic ectoderm development (EED) gene is important to maintain transcriptional repressive states of genes over successive cell generations. The present study aimed to investigate the association between EED methylation and CRC. A total of 111 CRC tissue samples, 111 paired para-tumor tissues and 20 colorectal normal tissues were obtained for EED methylation assay, which was performed using a quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. The percentage of methylated reference was calculated to represent the DNA methylation level. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the gene promoter activity of a EED fragment. The current results revealed a significant difference in the EED methylation levels among tumor, para-tumor and normal colorectal tissues (tumor vs. para-tumor vs. normal, 5.03±4.61 vs. 8.65±11.50 vs. 40.12±45.31; F=45.014; P<0.0001). The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay demonstrated that the transcriptional activity of recombinant pGL3-EED plasmid was significantly higher compared with that of the pGL3-Basic control vector (fold-change, 3.15; P=0.014), which suggests the EED fragment can promote gene expression. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that EED hypomethylation may be an important factor associated with CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a member of the IL-10 family of anti-inflammatory cytokines that mediates epithelial immunity. IL-22 expression was found to be increased in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Whether genetic polymorphisms of IL-22 also influence UC risk is still unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the IL-22 gene polymorphisms (-429 C/T, +1046 T/A and +1995 A/C) and the risk of UC in Chinese Han patients. METHODS This hospital-based case-control study comprised 180 patients with UC and 180 age- and gender-matched controls. Genotypes of 3 common polymorphisms of the IL-22 gene were determined by fluorogenic 5' exonuclease assays (TaqMan). RESULTS Patients with UC had a significantly higher frequency of IL-22 -429 TT genotype [odds ratio (OR) =2.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.35, 4.37; P=0.003] and -429 T allele (OR =1.54, 95% CI=1.14, 2.07; P=0.004) than controls. The findings are still emphatic by the Bonferroni correction. The IL-22+1046 T/A and IL-22+1995 A/C gene polymorphisms were not associated with a risk of UC. When stratifying by clinical type, location and disease severity of UC, no significant differences were found in any groups. CONCLUSION This is the first study to provide evidence for an association of IL-22 -429 C/T gene polymorphisms with UC risk. Additional well-designed large studies were required for the validation of our results.

Abstract
Interferon inducible transmembrane protein (IFITM) family genes have been implicated in several cellular processes such as the homotypic cell adhesion functions of IFNs and cellular anti-proliferative activities. We previously showed that the IFITM3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with susceptibility to ulcerative colitis (UC). The present study aimed to investigate whether the polymorphisms in the IFITM1 gene are associated with susceptibility to UC. We also evaluated the expression levels in the putative functional promoter polymorphisms to determine the change of their activity. Gene expression profiles in the tissues obtained from human digestive tracts by RT-PCR, and the possible variation sites and SNPs of IFITM1 were identified by direct sequencing method. Genotype analysis in the IFITM1 SNPs was performed by high resolution melting and TaqMan probe analysis, and the haplotype frequencies of IFITM1 SNPs for multiple loci were estimated using the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. The expression levels in the putative functional promoter polymorphisms were evaluated by performing a luciferase reporter assay. We identified two SNPs and two variation sites, g.-1920G>A (rs77537847), g.-1547delA (novel) and g.-416C>G (rs11246062) in the promoter region, and g.364delA (rs200576757) in intron 1. The genotype and allele frequencies of the g.-1920G>A polymorphism of IFITM1 gene in the UC patients were significantly different from those of the healthy controls (P=0.002 and 0.042, respectively). These results suggest that the g.-1920G>A polymorphism in IFITM1 may be associated with susceptibility to UC.

EED gene polymorphism in patients with colorectal cancer. Int J Biol Markers 2013; 28:274-9. [PMID: 23709348 DOI: 10.5301/jbm.5000024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/12/2013] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous work indicated that, first, the embryonic ectoderm development (EED) gene is a candidate gene associated with the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and, second, that the haplotypes of the EED polymorphism are one of the markers for UC susceptibility. The risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) increases in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
AIM The present study aimed at determining the association between polymorphisms in the EED gene and CRC.
METHODS Genotype analysis of EED single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was performed with high-resolution melting analysis, and the genotype and allele frequencies of the EED SNPs were compared between CRC patients and healthy controls. The haplotype frequencies of EED for multiple loci were estimated using the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm.
RESULTS Our study had a power of 76.6% at a 0.05 significance level. Genotype and allele frequencies of the SNPs and haplotype frequencies of the EED gene in CRC patients were not significantly different from those in healthy controls. Only the allele frequency of g.-1850G>C in the rectal cancer (RC) patient group was significantly different from that of the control group (p=0.04). Similarly, the genotype and allelic frequencies of the EED SNPs for either tumor site (left or right) or tumor stage were not significantly different from those in healthy controls. However, our data show an association between the g.-993G>C polymorphism in the EED gene and the presence of lymph node metastasis in CRC.
CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the SNPs of the EED gene might not be associated with susceptibility to CRC. However, this study shows that the allele frequency of g.-1850G>C in the RC patient group was significantly different from that in the control group (p=0.04) and that g.-993G>C may play a role in the lymph node metastatic process of CRC.
