World J Gastroenterol 2021; 27:4653-4666. [PMID: 34366627 PMCID: PMC8326261 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v27.i28.4653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2021] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Gastric cancer accounts for the majority cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although various methods have considerably improved the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of gastric cancer, its incidence is still high in Asia, and the 5-year survival rate of advanced gastric cancer patients is only 10%-20%. Therefore, more effective drugs and better screening strategies are needed for reducing the incidence and mortality of gastric cancer. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is considered to be the key inducible enzyme in prostaglandins (PGs) synthesis, which is involved in multiple pathways in the inflammatory response. For example, inflammatory cytokines stimulate innate immune responses via Toll-like receptors and nuclear factor-kappa B to induce COX-2/PGE2 pathway. In these processes, the production of an inflammatory microenvironment promotes the occurrence of gastric cancer. Epidemiological studies have also indicated that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce the risk of malignant tumors of the digestive system by blocking the effect of COX-2. However, clinical use of COX-2 inhibitors to prevent or treat gastric cancer may be limited because of potential side effects, especially in the cardiovascular system. Given these side effects and low treatment efficacy, new therapeutic approaches and early screening strategies are urgently needed. Some studies have shown that genetic variation in COX-2 also play an important role in carcinogenesis. However, the genetic variation analysis in these studies is incomplete and isolated, pointing out only a few single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of gastric cancer, and no comprehensive study covering the whole gene region has been carried out. In addition, copy number variation (CNV) is not mentioned. In this review, we summarize the SNPs in the whole COX-2 gene sequence, including exons, introns, and both the 5' and 3' untranslated regions. Results suggest that COX-2 does not increase its expression through the CNV and the SNPs in COX-2 may serve as the potential marker to establish risk stratification in the general population. This review synthesizes emerging insights of COX-2 as a biomarker in multiple studies, summarizes the association between whole COX-2 sequence variation and susceptibility to gastric cancer, and discusses the future prospect of therapeutic intervention, which will be helpful for early screening and further research to find new approaches to gastric cancer treatment.

[PMID: 34209679 PMCID: PMC8268686 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13133253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Revised: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Since the targeting of a single pro-angiogenic factor fails to improve oncological disease outcome, significant efforts have been made to identify new pro-angiogenic factors that could compensate for the deficiency of current therapy or act independently as single drugs. Our review aims to present the state-of-the art for well-known and recently described factors produced by macrophages that induce and regulate angiogenesis. A number of positive and negative regulators of angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment are produced by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Accumulating evidence has indicated that, apart from the well-known angiogenic factors, there are plenty of novel angiogenesis-regulating proteins that belong to different classes. We summarize the data regarding the direct or indirect mechanisms of the interaction of these factors with endothelial cells during angiogenesis. We highlight the recent findings that explain the limitations in the efficiency of current anti-angiogenic therapy approaches. Abstract Angiogenesis is crucial to the supply of a growing tumor with nutrition and oxygen. Inhibition of angiogenesis is one of the main treatment strategies for colorectal, lung, breast, renal, and other solid cancers. However, currently applied drugs that target VEGF or receptor tyrosine kinases have limited efficiency, which raises a question concerning the mechanism of patient resistance to the already developed drugs. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) were identified in the animal tumor models as a key inducer of the angiogenic switch. TAMs represent a potent source not only for VEGF, but also for a number of other pro-angiogenic factors. Our review provides information about the activity of secreted regulators of angiogenesis produced by TAMs. They include members of SEMA and S100A families, chitinase-like proteins, osteopontin, and SPARC. The COX-2, Tie2, and other factors that control the pro-angiogenic activity of TAMs are also discussed. We highlight how these recent findings explain the limitations in the efficiency of current anti-angiogenic therapy. Additionally, we describe genetic and posttranscriptional mechanisms that control the expression of factors regulating angiogenesis. Finally, we present prospects for the complex targeting of the pro-angiogenic activity of TAMs.

Front Oncol 2021; 11:679998. [PMID: 34249719 PMCID: PMC8263909 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.679998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
COX and ALOX genes are involved in inflammatory processes and that may be related to breast cancer risk differentially between White and Black women. We evaluated distributions of genetic variants involved in COX2 and ALOX-related pathways and examined their associations with breast cancer risk among 1,275 White and 1,299 Black cases and controls who participated in the Women’s Circle of Health Study. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. Our results showed differential associations of certain genetic variants with breast cancer according to menopausal and ER status in either White or Black women. In White women, an increased risk of breast cancer was observed for COX2-rs689470 (OR: 2.02, P = 0.01) in the dominant model, and was strongest among postmenopausal women (OR: 2.72, P = 0.02) and for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers (OR: 2.60, P = 0.001). A reduced risk was observed for ALOX5-rs7099874 (OR: 0.75, P = 0.01) in the dominant model, and was stronger among postmenopausal women (OR: 0.68, P = 0.03) and for ER+ cancer (OR: 0.66, P = 0.001). Four SNPs (rs3840880, rs1126667, rs434473, rs1042357) in the ALOX12 gene were found in high LD (r2 >0.98) in White women and were similarly associated with reduced risk of breast cancer, with a stronger association among postmenopausal women and for ER− cancer. Among Black women, increased risk was observed for ALOX5-rs1369214 (OR: 1.44, P = 0.003) in the recessive model and was stronger among premenopausal women (OR: 1.57, P = 0.03) and for ER+ cancer (OR: 1.53, P = 0.003). Our study suggests that genetic variants of COX2 and ALOX genes are associated with breast cancer, and that these associations and genotype distributions differ in subgroups defined by menopausal and ER status between White and Black women. Findings may provide insights into the etiology of breast cancer and areas for further research into reasons for breast cancer differences between races.

Prostaglandin Endoperoxide H Synthase-2 (PGHS-2) Variants and Risk of Obesity and Microvascular Dysfunction Among Tunisians: Relevance of rs5277 (306G/C) and rs5275 (8473T/C) Genetic Markers. Biochem Genet 2021; 59:1457-1486. [PMID: 33929697 DOI: 10.1007/s10528-021-10071-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of six PGHS-2 genetic variants on obesity development and microvascular dysfunction. The study included 305 Tunisian subjects (186 normal weights, 35 overweights and 84 obeses). PCR analyses were used for allelic discrimination between polymorphisms. Prostaglandin (PGE2, PGI2), leptin, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP1, 2, 3, 9) levels were evaluated by ELISA. Fatty acid composition was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Our results revealed that subjects carrying the PGHS-2 306CC (rs5277) and 8473CC (rs5275) genotypes present higher anthropometric values compared to wild-type genotypes (306GG, BMI (Kg/m2): 27.11 ± 0.58; WC (cm): 93.09 ± 1.58; 306CC, BMI: 33.83 ± 2.46; WC: 109.93 ± 5.41; 8473TT, BMI: 27.75 ± 0.68; WC: 93.96 ± 1.75; 8473CC, BMI: 33.72 ± 2.2; WC: 117.89 ± 2.94). A reduced microvascular reactivity and a higher PGE2 level were also found in individuals with the 306CC and 8473CC genotypes in comparison to 306GG and 8473TT carriers (306GG, Peak Ach-CVC (PU/mmHg): 0.46 ± 0.03; PGE2 (pg/ml): 7933.1 ± 702; 306CC, Peak Ach-CVC: 0.24 ± 0.01; PGE2: 13,380.3 ± 966.2; 8473TT, Peak Ach-CVC: 0.48 ± 0.05; PGE2: 7086.41 ± 700.31; 8473CC, Peak Ach-CVC: 0.23 ± 0.01; PGE2: 13,175.7 ± 1165.8). Fatty acid analysis showed a significant increase of palmitic acid (PA) (34.2 ± 2.09 vs. 16.82% ± 1.76, P < 0.001), stearic acid (SA) (25.76 ± 3.29 vs. 9.05% ± 2.53, P < 0.001), and linoleic acid (LA) (5.25 ± 1.18 vs. 0.5% ± 0.09, P < 0.001) levels in individuals carrying the PGHS-2 306CC genotype when compared to GG genotype individuals. Subjects with the 8473CC genotype showed also a significant increase of PA, SA ,and LA levels when compared to TT genotype carriers (PA: 38.02 ± 1.51 vs. 12.65% ± 1.54, P < 0.001; SA: 32.96 ± 1.87 vs. 1.38% ± 0.56, P < 0.001; LA: 26.84 ± 2.09 vs. 3.7% ± 1.54, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that PGHS-2 306CC and 8473CC variants are significantly associated with obesity status (OR 6.25, CI (1.8-21.6), P = 0.004; OR 3.01, CI (1.13-8.52), P = 0.03, respectively). Haplotypes containing the C306:T8473 (OR 2.91; P = 0.01) and G306:C8473 (OR 5.25; P = 0.002) combinations were associated with an enhanced risk for obesity development in the studied population. In conclusion, our results highlight that PGHS-2 306G/C and 8473T/C variants could be useful indicators of obesity development, inflammation, and microvascular dysfunction among Tunisians.

Abstract
Aim Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. Several genetic and environmental factors are known to be involved in breast cancer pathogenesis, but the exact etiology of this disease is complicated and not completely understood. We aimed to investigate whether the gene polymorphisms of ABCB1 and ABCG2 carrier proteins and COX-2 enzyme affect breast cancer risk. Method ABCG2 C421A (rs2231142), ABCB1 C3435T (rs1045642), COX-2 T8473C (rs5275) and COX-2 G306C (rs5277) were genotyped 104 breast cancer patients and 90 healthy controls using a real-time PCR for breast cancer susceptibility. Results Patients carrying ABCG2 C421A, the CC genotype, had a higher risk of disease compared with patients carrying any A allele (OR = 3.06; 95% CI = 1.49–6.25, p = 0.0019). The other variants showed no association with breast cancer (p > 0.05). Comparing the pathological parameters with the variants, only, the frequency of C allele of ABCB1 C3435T was significantly lower in the estrogen receptor-α (ERα) (OR = 2.25; 95% CI: 0.75–6.76; p = 0.041) and progesterone receptor (PgR) (OR = 3.67; 95% CI: 1.34–10.03; p = 0.008) positive breast cancer patients. Conclusion ABCB1 C3435T and ABCG2 C421A might represent a potential risk factor for breast cancer for Turkish women.

Abstract
The overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was correlated with the invasion and lymphatic metastasis and with the clinical stage of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The C allele of COX-2 gene rs5275 polymorphism disrupts miR-542-3p function to promote COX-2 overexpression. To examine the role of COX-2 gene rs5275 polymorphism in NPC, we determined COX-2 gene rs5275 polymorphism by using a custom-by-design 48-Plex single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Scan™ Kit. We found that C allele or CC genotype of rs5275 polymorphism in COX-2 gene was associated with an increased risk of NPC. In stratified analyses, COX-2 gene rs5275 polymorphism was associated with the risk of NPC among females, smokers, and drinkers. Based on these results, we concluded that COX-2 gene rs5275 variant contributes to NPC risk in a Chinese population. Larger studies with more diverse ethnic populations are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the leading cancer among women, and its increasing incidence is a challenge worldwide. Estrogen exposure is the main risk factor, but obesity among postmenopausal women has been shown to favor disease onset and progression. The link between obesity and mammary carcinogenesis involves elevated estrogen production and proinflammatory stimuli within the adipose tissue, with activation of the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway. Here, we evaluate the impact of the four most common cyclooxygenase-2 gene polymorphisms (rs689465, rs689466, rs20417 and rs20417), in combination with obesity, on the risk of breast cancer progression in a cohort of Brazilian breast cancer patients (N = 1038). Disease-free survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves, with multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models for calculation of adjusted hazard ratios (HRadj). Obesity did not affect disease progression, whereas rs689466 variant genotypes increased the recurrence risk among obese patients (HRadj = 2.5; 95% CI = 1.4-4.3), either for luminal (HRadj = 2.2; 95% CI = 1.1-4.2) or HER2-like and triple-negative tumors (HRadj = 3.2; 95% CI = 1.2-8.5). Likewise, the haplotype *4, which contains variant rs689466, was associated with shorter disease-free survival among obese patients (HRadj = 3.3; 95% CI = 1.8-6.0), either in luminal (HRadj = 3.5; 95% CI = 1.6-7.3) or HER2-like and triple-negative (HRadj = 3.1; 95% CI = 1.1-8.9) tumors. Such deleterious impact of variant rs689466 on disease-free survival of obese breast cancer patients was restricted to postmenopausal women. In conclusion, cyclooxygenase-2 genotyping may add to the prognostic evaluation of obese breast cancer patients.

Kim JH, Lee MR, Hong YC. Modification of the association of bisphenol A with abnormal liver function by polymorphisms of oxidative stress-related genes. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2016; 147:324-30. [PMID: 26922413 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2016.02.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2015] [Revised: 01/26/2016] [Accepted: 02/18/2016] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Some studies suggested oxidative stress as a possible mechanism for the relation between exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and liver damage. Therefore, we evaluated modification of genetic polymorphisms of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2 or PTGS2), epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2 or MnSOD), which are oxidative stress-related genes, on the relation between exposure to BPA and liver function in the elderly. We assessed the association of visit-to-visit variations in BPA exposure with abnormal liver function by each genotype or haplotype after controlling for age, sex, BMI, alcohol consumption, exercise, urinary cotinine levels, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol using a GLIMMIX model. A significant association of BPA with abnormal liver function was observed only in participants with COX2 GG genotype at rs5277 (odds ratio (OR)=3.04 and p=0.0231), CAT genotype at rs769218 (OR=4.16 and p=0.0356), CAT CT genotype at rs769217 (OR=4.19 and p=0.0348), SOD2 TT genotype at rs4880 (OR=2.59 and p=0.0438), or SOD2 GG genotype at rs2758331 (OR=2.57 and p=0.0457). Moreover, we also found higher OR values in participants with a pair of G-G haplotypes for COX2 (OR=2.81 and p=0.0384), G-C-A haplotype for EPHX1 (OR=4.63 and p=0.0654), A-T haplotype for CAT (OR=4.48 and p=0.0245), or T-G-A haplotype for SOD2 (OR=2.91 and p=0.0491) compared with those with the other pair of haplotypes for each gene. Furthermore, the risk score composed of 4 risky pair of haplotypes showed interactive effect with BPA on abnormal liver function (p=0.0057). Our study results suggest that genetic polymorphisms of COX2, EPHX1, CAT, and SOD2 modify the association of BPA with liver function.
