Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A serum levels and common gene polymorphisms in generalized periodontitis affected patients. Acta Odontol Scand 2024; 82:74-81. [PMID: 37749912 DOI: 10.1080/00016357.2023.2260000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the associations of VEGFA serum levels and SNPs (rs1570360, rs699947, rs3025033, and rs2146323) with periodontitis in study participants grouped by gender. METHODS The study enrolled 261 patients with periodontitis and 441 healthy controls as a reference group. Patients underwent periodontal examination and radiographic analysis to confirm the periodontitis diagnosis. Blood samples were collected, and the DNA salting-out method was used for DNA extraction from peripheral venous blood. Genotyping of VEGFA (rs1570360, rs699947, rs3025033, and rs2146323) was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and serum level analysis was done for 80 individuals - 40 periodontitis-affected patients and 40 reference group subjects. RESULTS The analysis of VEGFA (rs1570360, rs699947, rs3025033, and rs2146323) showed that the rs3025033 GG genotype was less frequent in the periodontitis group than in the reference group (1.6% vs. 5.7%,p = 0.008). VEGFA serum levels were not statistically significantly different between periodontitis patients and reference group subjects (554.29 (522.38) ng/ml vs. 581.32 (348.16) ng/ml, p = 0.786). Individuals carrying rs1570360, rs699947, rs3025033, and rs2146323 haplotype A-A-G-A had decreased risks of periodontitis, while rare haplotype of VEGFA (rs1570360, rs699947, rs3025033, and rs2146323) was associated with increased odds of periodontitis (OR= 0.42; 95% CI: 0.20-0.85; p < 0.017; OR= 4.08; 95% CI: 1.86-8.94; p < 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSION The rs3025033 GG genotype and the rs1570360, rs699947, rs3025033, and rs2146323 A-A-G-A haplotypes may play a protective role in the development of periodontitis, but a less common haplotype of the same VEGFA polymorphism may be associated with the risk of developing periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tissue hypoxia in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) induces hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), causing angiogenesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may predict susceptibility to environmental carcinogens and to development of OSMF, as well as its severity and malignant transformation. This study aimed to determine the serologic levels and frequencies of SNPs of HIF-1 α and VEGF in OSMF. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective pilot study, the frequencies of SNPs of HIF-1 α (C1772 T, G1790 A); VEGF-A 936 C/T; and VEGF-C (rs7664413, rs1485766) in patients with OSMF or oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and in healthy controls were determined by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (n = 100 each), and serologic levels were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA (n = 50 each), in a North Indian population. RESULTS Heterozygous forms of HIF-1 α C1772 T (CT: odds ratio [OR] 5.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.24-11.16; P < .001); HIF-1 α G1790 A (GA: OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.62-5.16; P < .001); and VEGF-C rs1485766 (AC: OR 2.18; 95% CI 1.19-3.99; P < .05) were associated with OSMF. The mean serologic levels of HIF-1 α, VEGF-A, and VEGF-C were significantly raised in patients with OSMF compared with healthy controls (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The SNPs of HIF-1 α, VEGF-A, and VEGF-C and their serologic levels can act as prognostic biomarkers and aid in the development of specialized anti-HIF-1 α or anti-VEGF drugs for the management and prevention of OSCC in patients with OSMF.

Abstract
The relation between the polymorphisms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and breast cancer remains inconclusive. In our meta-analysis based on 10,340 breast cancer patients and 10,388 controls, we found breast cancer susceptibility was elevated in individuals carrying the VEGF +936C allele, especially in Asians, and the +936CC increases tumor growth. The G allele of -634G/C polymorphism reduces breast cancer susceptibility in Asians, and breast cancer patients of -634GG genotype has decreased tumor growth. These results suggest that both the VEGF +936C/T and -634G/C polymorphisms influence breast cancer susceptibility and tumor growth, instead of metastasis.

Abstract
Background One of the main glycoproteins responsible for angiogenesis is the vascular endothelial growth factor. It is believed that C936T polymorphism, located in the VEGF gene, is correlated with susceptibility towards development of sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to identify the frequencies of the genotypes of C936T polymorphism of the VEGF gene in patients with sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma, in comparison with controls, and whether this correlates with the degree of tumor invasion, lymph node involvement and occurrence of metastases at the time of the diagnosis. The analysis was done on 261 patients with sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma and 261 controls. The genotypes of C936T polymorphism were evaluated by means of the polymerase chain reaction and enzyme digestion, using peripheral blood samples. Results The occurrences of genotype 936CC were similar in the two groups (80.5% versus 78.5%, p = 0.2288). In relation to tumor location, lymph node involvement, infiltration and tumor metastasis, no statistically significant results were obtained (p = 0.3116, p = 0.8485, p = 0.9408 and p = 0.2861, respectively). Conclusion C936T polymorphism of the VEGF gene did not influence the occurrence of sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma development and did not correlated with the degree of tumor invasion, lymph node involvement and occurrence of metastases.

Abstract
A large number of common disorders, including cancer, have complex genetic traits, with multiple genetic and environmental components contributing to susceptibility. A literature search revealed that even among several meta-analyses, there were ambiguous results and conclusions. In the current study, we conducted a thorough meta-analysis gathering the published meta-analysis studies previously reported to correlate any random effect or predictive value of genome variations in certain genes for various types of cancer. The overall analysis was initially aimed to result in associations (1) among genes which when mutated lead to different types of cancer (e.g. common metabolic pathways) and (2) between groups of genes and types of cancer. We have meta-analysed 150 meta-analysis articles which included 4,474 studies, 2,452,510 cases and 3,091,626 controls (5,544,136 individuals in total) including various racial groups and other population groups (native Americans, Latinos, Aborigines, etc.). Our results were not only consistent with previously published literature but also depicted novel correlations of genes with new cancer types. Our analysis revealed a total of 17 gene-disease pairs that are affected and generated gene/disease clusters, many of which proved to be independent of the criteria used, which suggests that these clusters are biologically meaningful.

Abstract
AIM The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a major role in angiogenesis. The association between VEGF 936 C>T (rs3025039) gene polymorphisms and oral cancer (OC) risk is still contentious and ambiguous. To assess the relationship between the VEGF 936 C>T genotype and the risk of developing OC, we performed a meta-analysis to summarize the possible association. METHODOLOGY We assessed published studies of the association between 936 C>T polymorphisms and OC risk from four studies with 440 controls and 556 OC cases. We calculated pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI), considering the frequency of allele, homozygous, heterozygous genotypes and comparison of dominant and recessive genetic models. RESULTS The combined results showed that the T allele was significantly associated with increased OC risk (T vs. C: p=0.001; OR=1.521, 95% CI=1.194-1.938). The heterozygous genotype CT had a 1.5-fold increased risk (CT vs. CC: p=0.002; OR=1.582, 95% CI=1.184-2.114). In addition the dominant genetic model demonstrated a 1.6-fold increased risk of developing OC (TT+CT vs. CC: p=0.001; OR=1.621, 95% CI=1.226-2.143). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the VEGF gene polymorphism (936 C>T) contributes increased susceptibility to OC. However, larger studies with a stratified case-control population and biological characterization are needed to validate this finding.

Abstract
The association between polymorphisms in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) +936C>T and cyclin D1 (CCND1) +870A>G genes, oral cancer risk, and disease-free survival remains controversial. We found no association between polymorphisms in the CCND1 and VEGF genes and oral cancer development using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Clinical data indicated that the VEGF +936C>T polymorphisms were associated with larger tumor size and advanced cancer stage, but the χ(2) test did not show that CCND1 polymorphisms were associated with larger tumor size and advanced cancer stage. However, Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed no correlation between the VEGF +936C>T polymorphisms and poor disease-free survival. The CCND1 +870A>G polymorphisms (hazard ratio (HR)=1.62, 95% CI=1.10-2.46; adjusted HR=1.63, 95% CI=1.08-2.54) and larger tumor size were associated with poor 5-year disease-free survival by the log rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in CCND1 +870A>G and VEGF +936C>T genes are not correlated with the development of oral cancer. We found the CCND1 +870G allele to be an independent risk factor for poor 5-year disease-free survival in oral cancer patients. VEGF +936C>T polymorphisms were not directly correlated with poor survival, but they might be associated with increased tumor size, which affected our disease-free survival results.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between polymorphism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-634 G>C and malignancy risk has been widely studied, and no conclusive result was available up to now. METHODS Twenty-three case-control studies with 21,917 individuals were included in this meta-analysis through searching the databases of Medline, Embase, and CNKI (up to October 1st, 2010). The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were used to investigate the strength of the association. RESULTS Overall, the pooled analysis showed that there was no association between VEGF-634 G>C and risk of malignancy, and the ORs (95%CIs) were 0.98 (0.85-1.12) for GG versus CC, 1.03 (0.90-1.17) for GC versus CC, 1.00 (0.89-1.13) for G carrier versus CC, and 1.08 (0.94-1.23) for C carrier versus GG. Subgroup analyses according to ethnicity, source of control, type of cancer, and sample size were also performed, and results indicated that VEGF-634 G>C was not associated with risk of malignancy for neither Asians [1.06 (0.81-1.38) for GG vs. CC and 1.08 (0.84-1.39) for GC vs. CC] nor Caucasians [0.93 (0.83-1.05) for GG vs. CC and 0.98 (0.87-1.10) for GC vs. CC]. It was also not associated with risk of breast cancer [0.95 (0.81-1.12) for GG vs. CC], gastric cancer [0.93 (0.47-1.84) for GG vs. CC], and colorectal cancer [1.17 (0.93-1.47) for GG vs. CC]. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that VEGF-634 G>C may be not associated with risk of malignancy. More studies with larger sample size were needed to provide more precise evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In addition to mediating aspects of physiologic and pathologic angiogenesis, the VEGF family also contributes to carcinogenesis. METHODS We comprehensively characterized genetic variation across four VEGF family genes and evaluated associations with breast cancer risk with odds ratios (OR) and 95% CIs for participants of the two-stage case-control Shanghai Breast Cancer Genetics Study (SBCGS). Stage 1 evaluated 200 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) across two VEGF ligands (VEGFA and VEGFC) and two VEGF receptors (FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2) among 2,079 cases and 2,148 controls. Five SNPs with promising associations were assessed in stage 2 among 4,419 cases and 1,851 controls. RESULTS Two SNPs were consistently associated with breast cancer risk across our two study stages and were significant in combined analyses. Compared with FLT1 rs9551471 major allele homozygotes (AA), reduced risks were associated with AG (OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.84-1.00) and GG (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.64-0.95) genotypes (P(trend) = 0.005). Compared with VEGFA rs833070 major allele carriers (CC or CT), increased risk was associated with TT genotypes (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.05-1.52, P = 0.016). CONCLUSION Results from our study indicate that common genetic variation in VEGFA and FLT1 (VEGFR1) may contribute to breast cancer susceptibility. IMPACT Our findings provide clues for future studies on VEGF family genes in relation to cancer susceptibility and survival.
