Association Between the hOGG1 1245C>G (rs1052133) Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Colorectal Cancer: a Meta-analysis Based on 7010 Cases and 10,674 Controls

BACKGROUND

The 1245C>G (rs1052133) polymorphism of human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) gene has been indicated to be correlated with colorectal (CRC) susceptibility, but studies have yielded conflicting results. Thus, the present meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation between hOGG1 1245C>G polymorphism and CRC risk.

METHODS

Data were collected from several electronic databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases, with the last search up to September 01, 2020. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association.

RESULTS

A total of 24 case-control studies with 7010 CRC cases and 10,674 controls were selected. Pooled data showed that the hOGG1 1245C>G polymorphism was significantly associated with CRC risk under three genetic models, i.e., homozygote (GG vs. CC: OR = 1.229, 95% CI 1.031-1.465, p = 0.022); heterozygote (GC vs. CC: OR = 1.142, 95% CI 1.008-1.294, p = 0.037); and dominant (GG+GC vs. CC: OR = 1.162, 95% CI 1.034-1.304, p = 0.011). When stratified analysis by ethnicity, a significant association of the hOGG1 1245C>G polymorphism with risk of CRC was found in the Caucasians, but not in Asians. Moreover, there were significant associations between hOGG1 1245C>G polymorphism and CRC by PCR-RFLP and hospital-based subgroups.

CONCLUSIONS

Inconsistent with the previous meta-analysis, these meta-analysis results revealed that the hOGG1 1245C>G polymorphism might be associated with an increased risk of CRC, especially in Caucasians.

Diagnostic value and prognostic significance of LI-cadherin and miR-378e in colorectal cancer

Expression levels of LI-cadherin and miR-378e in the serum of patients with colorectal cancer, and the diagnostic value and prognostic significance in colorectal cancer were investigated. A total of 110 patients who were diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Weihai Central Hospital, from January 2012 to November 2014, were selected and enrolled in the experimental group, and 90 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination were enrolled in the control group. The expression level of miR-378e in serum was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and the expression of LI-cadherin in serum was detected by ELISA. ROC curves of LI-cadherin and miR-378e were drawn and the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis were estimated. The association of the expression levels of LI-cadherin and miR-378e with the survival of the patients was analyzed. LI-cadherin and miR-378e expression levels were significantly higher in the control group than those in the experimental group (P<0.001). LI-cadherin was significantly associated with the pathogenic site, the lymphatic metastasis, depth of infiltration, degree of differentiation and clinical stage (P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of the LI-cadherin combined with miR-378e detection were respectively 86 and 94%; the sensitivity of miR-378e detection was the highest, as well as the specificity of the combined detection. At the end of the follow-up period, the survival rates of the patients in the LI-cadherin high-expression group and miR-378e high-expression group were significantly higher than those in the low-expression groups (P<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the LI-cadherin and miR-378e expression levels in both the experimental and control group (r=0.5845 and 0.6356, respectively; P<0.05). In conclusion, LI-cadherin and miR-378e are expressed at low levels in colorectal cancer, suggesting that they have a good diagnostic value for colorectal cancer and can be used as biomarkers for colorectal cancer prognosis.

Influence of Two DNA Repair Pathway Polymorphisms in Colorectal Cancer Risk in Southwest Iran

Objective:

X-ray cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) and 8 Oxo guanine DNA-glycosylase 1 (OGG1) genes are implicated in the repair of single-stranded breaks (SSBRs) and base excision repair (BER) pathways. Common polymorphisms in DNA repair genes are supposed to decrease the capability of DNA repair and cause genetic instability. This study was designed to investigate the association between XRCC1 (rs25487) and OGG1 (rs1052133) polymorphisms and susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) in the Ahvaz city, south-west Iran.

Methods:

This case- control study comprised 150 patients and 150 controls that were selected from 2 educational hospitals in Ahvaz. They were matched for age and gender, and their genotyping was carried out by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).

Results:

Our results indicate that the frequency of the Gln (A) allele of XRCC1 (rs25487) is significantly higher in colorectal cancer patients, compare to controls (p = 0.01, OR: 1.54, 95% CI 1.9–13.3). Significant increased risk of cancer was observed in XRCC1 (rs25487) genotypes (p = 0.001 OR: 5.3, 95% CI 1.9–14.2 for Gln / Gln), while no association was found between OGG1 (rs1052133) and colorectal cancer risk (p = 0.6).

Conclusion:

Our study suggests that XRCC1 (rs25487) polymorphism might be associated with an increasing risk of CRC in Ahvaz. It also demonstrates positive correlation between the XRCC1 (rs25487) genotypes and demographic characteristics, such as smoking and increased age in patients and control groups.

Correlation analysis of mRNA expression and prognosis of hOGG1 gene polymorphism in patients with non-small cell lung cancer

Level of mRNA expression and gene polymorphism of human 8-hydroxyguanine glycosidase 1 (hOGG1) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were investigated. A polymorphism analysis of hOGG1 gene rs1052133 locus in 182 NSCLC patients (NSCLC group) surgically treated in Xiang Yang No. 1 People's Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine from January 2008 to January 2012 and 200 healthy individuals (control group) was performed. The expression level of hOGG1 was compared between cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of NSCLC patients, and the survival rate was analyzed. The expression level of hOGG1 was significantly higher in cancer tissues than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.001). Taqman probe method was used to detect the genotypes of hOGG1 polymorphism locus rs1052133, with the genotype distribution frequencies of NSCLC group (P=0.411) and control group (P=0.354) consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The proportion of C/C gene was significantly higher in NSCLC group than that in control group (P=0.008, OR=2.2, 95%, CI=1.27–4.52). The median value of the hOGG1 expression level in detection results as the boundary, NSCLC patients were divided into hOGG1 high expression group (≥3.61) with 91 cases and hOGG1 low expression group (<3.61) with 91 cases. The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates of patients in hOGG1 low expression group were significantly higher than those in hOGG1 high expression group (P=0.007). The 3-year survival rate in hOGG1 low expression group is significantly higher than that in hOGG1 high expression group (P=0.007). The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of hOGG1 to patient survival prediction were 83.33%, 64.29%, and 0.816, respectively. In conclusion, hOGG1 is highly expressed in NSCLC tissues. Compared to S/S and S/C genotypes, the C/C gene was found to be more common in NSCLC group than in control group. Thus, hOGG1 has a high predictive value for patient survival.

Human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase gene polymorphism (Ser326Cys) and cancer risk: updated meta-analysis

Genetic polymorphism of human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) has been reported to have a relationship with the risk of the development of various cancers. Many studies have described the influence of Ser326Cys polymorphism of the hOGG1 gene on cancer susceptibility. However, the results have remained inconclusive and controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to more precisely determine the relationship between the hOGG1 polymorphism and the development of cancer.Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and the Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS) were searched. The odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI), and p value were calculated to assess the strength of the association with the risk of cancer using Comprehensive Meta-analysis software (Corporation, NJ, USA). The 127 studies including 38,757 cancer patients and 50,177 control subjects were analyzed for the meta-analysis.Our meta-analysis revealed that G allele of Ser326Cys polymorphism of the hOGG1 gene statistically increased the susceptibility of cancer (all population, OR = 1.092, 95% CI = 1.051-1.134, p < 0.001; in Asian, OR = 1.095, 95% CI = 1.048-1.145, p < 0.001; in Caucasian, OR = 1.097, 95% CI = 1.033-1.179, p = 0.002). Also, other genotype models showed significant association with cancer (p < 0.05, respectively).The present meta-analysis concluded that the G allele was associated with an increased risk of cancer. It suggested that the hOGG1 polymorphism may be a candidate marker of cancer.

Interleukin-10 rs1800896 polymorphism is associated with increased head and neck cancer risk but not associated with its clinical stages

BACKGROUND

The association of interleukin-10 rs1800896 polymorphism with head and neck cancer risk and its clinical stages has been investigated by many published studies, but the results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis for further investigation.

RESULTS

Six case-control studies involving 1,781 head and neck cancer patients and 1,978 controls were yielded. The results indicated an association between rs1800896 polymorphism and increased head and neck risk [odds ratio (95%confidence interval) for G vs. A, GA vs. AA, GG vs. AA, GA+GG vs. AA, and GG vs. AA + GA were 1.63 (1.30-2.04), 3.17 (2.11-4.76), 1.63 (1.17-2.26), 1.73 (1.25-2.39), and 2.73 (1.82-4.09), respectively]. The subgroup analyses all obtained similar results with overall populations. The results of clinical stages yielded a non-significant association. No publication bias was detected.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The PubMed and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched up to December 27, 2016. Two authors independently selected studies, extracted and analyzed the data using the RevMan 5 software. Either a fixed effect or a random effect model was used to estimate pooled odds ratio and its 95% confidence intervals.

CONCLUSIONS

We concluded that interleukin-10 rs1800896 polymorphism was significantly associated with head and neck cancer risk but not with the clinical stages thereof.

Lack of any Association between the Hogg1 Ser326Cys Polymorphism and Breast Cancer Risk: a Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis Of 18 Studies

Background:

The human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) gene may be linked with cancer susceptibility. The aim of this study was to quantitatively summarize any association between the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and breast cancer (BC) risk.

Materials and Methods:

A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and ISI web of knowledge databases for papers published before 1 October 2016 was conducted. Summary odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (95 %CIs) were estimated, with fixed-effects or random-effects models when appropriate, to assess any association.

Results:

A total of 9,434 cases and 10,497 controls from 18 studies were included in this meta-analysis. When the eligible studies were pooled, there was no evidence found for a significant association between the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and BC in in all genetic contrast models G vs. C (OR=1.19, 95% CI 0.92– 1.53), CG vs. CC (OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.91-1.04, p = 0.46), GG vs. CC (OR = 1.11, 95% CI 0.91-1.35, p = 0.30), GG + CG vs. CC (OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.92-1.05, p = 0.67), and GG vs. CG + CC (OR = 1.22, 95% CI 0.98-1.52, p = 0.07). According to subgroup analysis, we also did not find a significant association between the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and BC risk in Asians and Caucasians considered separately.

Conclusions:

The current meta-analysis suggests that the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism is not significantly associated with BC risk.

COX-2 rs689466, rs5275, and rs20417 polymorphisms and risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis of adjusted and unadjusted data

Background

Numerous case–control studies have been performed to investigate the association between three cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) polymorphisms (rs20417 (−765G > C), rs689466 (−1195G > A), and rs5275 (8473 T > C)) and the risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the results were inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the association.

Methods

We searched in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to January 20, 2015 (last updated on May 12, 2016). Two independent reviewers extracted the data. Odds ratios (ORs) with their 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. All statistical analyses were performed using the Review Manager (RevMan) 5.2 software.

Results

Finally 8 case–control studies were included in this meta-analysis. For unadjusted data, an association with increased risk was observed in three genetic models in COX-2 rs689466 polymorphism; however, COX-2 rs5275 and rs20417 polymorphisms were not related to HNSCC risk in this study. The pooled results from adjusted data all revealed non-significant association between these three polymorphisms and risk of HNSCC. We also found a similar result in the subgroup analyses, based on both unadjusted data and adjusted data.

Conclusion

Current results suggest that COX-2 rs689466, rs5275, and rs20417 polymorphisms are not associated with HNSCC. Further large and well-designed studies are necessary to validate this association.

Association of polymorphisms hOGGI rs1052133 and hMUTYH rs3219472 with risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a Chinese population

This case–control study investigates the possible relationships between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs1052133 in the human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) gene and rs3219472 in the human MutY glycosylase homologue (hMUTYH) gene and the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The two polymorphisms were genotyped in 488 unrelated NPC patients and 573 cancer-free controls. Genotype GG at rs1052133 was associated with significantly lower NPC risk than genotypes GC + CC (odds ratio [OR] 0.770, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.595–0.996, P=0.012). In subgroup analyses, subjects with genotype GG at rs1052133 were at lower risk of NPC than those with GC or CC among individuals older than 40 years (OR 0.706, 95% CI 0.524–0.950), women (OR 0.571, 95% CI 0.337–0.968), and those with no smoking history (OR 0.634, 95% CI 0.463–0.868). No significant association was seen between polymorphisms at hMUTYH rs3219472 and the risk of NPC. However, gene–gene interaction analysis showed that subjects with genotype CC at rs1052133 and genotype AA at rs3219472 (CC/AA) were at 2.887-fold higher risk of NPC than those with GG/GG, 3.183-fold higher risk than those with GG/GA, and 3.392-fold higher risk than those with GG/AA. Our results suggest that hOGG1 rs1052133 polymorphism may play an important role in NPC pathogenesis, especially among women, >40 years old, and those with no smoking history. The hMUTYH rs3219472 polymorphism may interact with hOGG1 rs1052133 polymorphism to influence susceptibility to NPC.
