Conway E, Wu H, Tian L. Overview of Risk Factors for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in China. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5604. [PMID: 38067307 PMCID: PMC10705141 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15235604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: China has the highest esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) incidence areas in the world, with some areas of incidence over 100 per 100,000. Despite extensive public health efforts, its etiology is still poorly understood. This study aims to review and summarize past research into potential etiologic factors for ESCC in China. (2) Methods: Relevant observational and intervention studies were systematically extracted from four databases using key terms, reviewed using Rayyan software, and summarized into Excel tables. (3) Results: Among the 207 studies included in this review, 129 studies were focused on genetic etiologic factors, followed by 22 studies focused on dietary-related factors, 19 studies focused on HPV-related factors, and 37 studies focused on other factors. (4) Conclusions: ESCC in China involves a variety of factors including genetic variations, gene-environment interactions, dietary factors like alcohol, tobacco use, pickled vegetables, and salted meat, dietary behavior such as hot food/drink consumption, infections like HPV, poor oral health, gastric atrophy, and socioeconomic factors. Public health measures should prioritize genetic screening for relevant polymorphisms, conduct comprehensive investigations into environmental, dietary, and HPV influences, enhance oral health education, and consider socioeconomic factors overall as integral strategies to reduce ESCC in high-risk areas of China.

Association of miR-149 T>C and miR-196a2 C>T Polymorphisms with Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility: A Case-Control Study. Biomedicines 2023; 11:2341. [PMID: 37760783 PMCID: PMC10525737 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11092341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The principal aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between miR-149 T>C (rs2292832) and miR-196a2 C>T (rs11614913) small non-coding RNA polymorphisms and the risk of developing CRC in the Azerbaijani population. The study included 120 patients diagnosed with CRC and 125 healthy individuals. Peripheral blood samples were collected from all the subjects in EDTA tubes and DNA extraction was performed by salting out. Polymorphisms were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. While comparing without gender distinction no statistical correlation was found between the heterozygous TC (OR = 0.66; 95% CI = 0.37-1.15; p = 0.142), mutant CC (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 0.62-2.45; p = 0.550), and mutant C (OR = 1.03; 95% CI = 0.72-1.49; p = 0.859) alleles of the miR-149 gene and the CT (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 0.69-2.20; p = 0.485), mutant TT (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 0.67-2.47; p = 0.452), and mutant T (OR = 1.17; 95% CI = 0.82-1.67; p = 0.388) alleles of the miR-196a2 gene and the risk of CRC. However, among women, miR-149 TC (OR = 0.43; 95% CI = 0.19-1.01; p = 0.048) correlated with a reduced risk of CRC, whereas miR-196a2 CT (OR = 2.77; 95% CI = 1.13-6.79; p = 0.025) correlated with an increased risk of CRC. Our findings indicated that miR-149 T>C (rs2292832) might play a protective role in the development of CRC in female patients, whereas the miR-196a2 (rs11614913) polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of CRC in women in the Azerbaijani population, highlighting the importance of gender dimorphism in cancer etiology.

Abstract
Annually, more than a million individuals are diagnosed with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers worldwide. With the advancements in radio- and chemotherapy and surgery, the survival rates for GI cancer patients have improved in recent years. However, the prognosis for advanced-stage GI cancers remains poor. Site-specific GI cancers share a few common risk factors; however, they are largely distinct in their etiologies and descriptive epidemiologic profiles. A large number of mutations or copy number changes associated with carcinogenesis are commonly found in noncoding DNA regions, which transcribe several noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are implicated to regulate cancer initiation, metastasis, and drug resistance. In this review, we summarize the regulatory functions of ncRNAs in GI cancer development, progression, chemoresistance, and health disparities. We also highlight the potential roles of ncRNAs as therapeutic targets and biomarkers, mainly focusing on their ethnicity-/race-specific prognostic value, and discuss the prospects of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate the contribution of ncRNAs in GI tumorigenesis.

Cancer Med 2022; 11:3949-3959. [PMID: 35499218 PMCID: PMC9636501 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small, non‐coding, and endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression and over 50% of them are located at cancer‐related genomic regions or fragile sites. According to previous studies there is significant association of miRNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with tumorigenesis (e.g., esophageal cancer, hepatocellular cancer, gastric cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer), however, the conclusions have been inconsistent. To investigate the relationship between miR‐146a rs2910164 C > G, miR‐196a2 rs11614913 T > C, and miR‐499 rs3746444 A > G polymorphisms and the susceptibility to esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) in the Chinese Han nationality, we recruited 829 cases and 1522 controls in our study. In this case–control study, our results suggest that the rs3746444 GG genotype increased ESCC risk [homozygote model: adjusted odds ratio (OR), 2.26; 95% CI, 1.33–3.83; p = 0.003, recessive model: adjusted OR, 2.34; 95% CI, 1.38–3.96; p = 0.002], which remained consistent after Bonferroni correction. There was no association of rs11614913 and rs2910164 polymorphisms with ESCC. After adjusting by age, sex, smoking, and drinking status and body mass index (BMI), the multiple logistic analysis suggested that rs11614913 T → C variation reduced ESCC susceptibility in females and in the ≥63 years old subgroups, while rs2910164 C → G variation increased ESCC risk in both two BMI subgroups.

Abstract
Objectives: Baise, a multiethnic inhabited area of southwestern China, is a historical malaria-endemic area with a high prevalence of G6PD deficiency. However, few studies of G6PD deficiency have been conducted in this region. Therefore, we performed a genetic analysis of G6PD deficiency in the Baise population from January 2020 to June 2021. Methods: A SNPscan assay was developed to simultaneously detect 33 common Chinese G6PD mutations. 30 G6PD-deficient samples were used for the method's validation. Then, a total of 709 suspected G6PD-deficient samples collated from the Baise population were evaluated for G6PD status, type of mutation and effect of mutations. Results: The SNPscan test had a sensitivity of 100% [95% confidence interval (CI): 94.87%-100%] and a specificity of 100% (95% CI: 87.66%-100%) for identifying G6PD mutations. A total of fifteen mutations were identified from 76.72% (544/709) of the samples. The most common mutation was discovered to be G6PD Kaiping (24.12%), followed by G6PD Canton (17.91%), and G6PD Gaohe (11.28%). We compared the G6PD mutation spectrum among Zhuang, Han and other Southeast Asian populations, and the Zhuang population's mutation distribution was quite similar to that in the Han population. Conclusion: This study provided a detailed G6PD mutation spectrum in Baise of southwestern China and will be valuable for the diagnosis and research of G6PD deficiency in this area. Furthermore, the SNPscan assay could be used to quickly diagnose these G6PD mutations accurately.

[PMID: 35770306 PMCID: PMC9251994 DOI: 10.1177/15330338221109798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background:MiR-196a2 rs11614913 polymorphism has been studied in a wide range of cancers throughout the years. Despite a large number of epidemiological studies performed in almost all ethnic populations, the contribution of this polymorphism to cancer risk is still inconclusive. Therefore, this updated meta-analysis was performed to estimate a meticulous correlation between miR-196a2 rs11614913 variant and cancer susceptibility. Methods: A systematic study search was carried out using PubMed, ScienceDirect, CNKI, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases following PRISMA guidelines to find necessary literature up to December 15, 2021. Pooled odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were estimated using RevMan 5.4 based on ethnicities, cancer types, control sources, and genotyping methods. Results: A total of 152 studies, including 120 135 subjects (53 818 patients and 66 317 controls; 140 studies, after removing studies that deviated from HWE: 51 459 cases and 62 588 controls), were included in this meta-analysis. Quantitative synthesis suggests that the miR-196a2 rs11614913 genetic variant is significantly correlated with the reduced risk of overall cancer in CDM2, CDM3, RM, and AM (odds ratio < 1 and P < .05). It is also observed from ethnicity-based subgroup analysis that rs11614913 polymorphism is significantly (P < .05) linked with cancer in the Asian (in CDM2, CDM3, RM, AM) and the African population (in CDM1, CDM3, ODM). Stratified analysis based on the cancer types demonstrated a significantly decreased correlation for breast, hepatocellular, lung, and gynecological cancer and an increased association for oral and renal cell cancer. Again, the control population-based subgroup analysis reported a strongly reduced correlation for HB population in CDM2, RM, and AM. A substantially decreased risk was also observed for other genotyping methods in multiple genetic models. Conclusions:MiR-196a2 rs11614913 variant is significantly correlated with overall cancer susceptibility. Besides, rs11614913 is correlated with cancer in Asians and Africans. It is also correlated with breast, gynecological, hepatocellular, lung, oral, and renal cell cancer.

Abstract
MiR-26 has been suggested to play a tumor-suppressive role in cancer development, which could be influenced by the mutate pri-miR-26ª-1. Molecular epidemiological studies have demonstrated some inconsistent associations between pri-miR-26ª-1 rs7372209 C>T polymorphism and cancer risk. We therefore performed this meta-analysis with multivariate statistic method to comprehensively evaluate the associations between rs7372209 C>T polymorphism and cancer risk. Eleven publications involving 6,709 patients and 6,514 controls were identified. Multivariate analysis indicated that the over-dominant genetic model was most likely. Pooled results indicated no significant association in the overall population (CC+TT vs. CT: OR=1.08, 95%CI=0.96-1.22, P=0.20, I2=54.4%), as well as the subgroup analysis according to ethnicity, control source, tumor locations, and HWE status of controls. In addition, heterogeneity, accumulative, sensitivity analysis, publication bias and trial sequential analysis (TSA) were conducted to test the statistical power. Overall, our results indicated that the pri-miR-26a-1 rs7372209 C>T polymorphism may not be a potential risk for cancer development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA (miR)-146a might participate in the occurrence of malignant tumor. The aim of the current investigation was to evaluate the relationship of microRNA-146a (miR-146a) rs2910164 C > G locus to the development of digestive system cancer (DSC). METHODS We retrieved publications from PubMed, China Biology Medicine and EMBASE databases up to August 29, 2019. Finally, 56 independent case-control studies with 59,098 participants were included. The strength of the relationship between rs2910164 locus and a risk of DSC was assessed. The power value was also calculated in this study. RESULTS We identified a correlation of rs2910164 locus in miR-146a with DSC development in dominant model (P = .035; power value = 0.994). MiR-146a rs2910164 locus was also identified to be correlated with a risk of DSC in Asians (GG/CG vs. CC: P = .033; power value = 0.989). Sensitivity analysis revealed that any individual study could not alter the final decision. In our study, no significant bias was found among these included studies (P > .1). The results of heterogeneity analysis suggested that small sample size (<1000 subjects), colorectal carcinoma, Asians, gastric carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular cancer, hospital-based study and high-quality score (≥7.0) subgroups contributed the heterogeneity to our findings. Galbraith radial plot determined that eleven outliers contributed to the main heterogeneity. CONCLUSION In summary, this meta-analysis highlights that rs2910164 locus might be implicated in the risk of DSC. More studies are, therefore, needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies revealed that microRNAs could play important roles in the development of various types of cancers. However, the findings remain inconsistent and controversial. To get more accurate results about the association of miR-26a-1 rs7372209 and miR-423 rs6505162 polymorphisms with risk of cancer, we conduct this meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have searched relevant articles from the PubMed, Web of Science, Wanfang, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases up to May 3, 2019. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were analyzed to assess the relationship between these two genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to cancer. All statistical analyses were performed with Stata 12.0 software. RESULTS Thirty-five articles were eligible in this meta-analysis, including 17,746 cases and 21,808 controls. Our results suggested that the miR-26a-1 rs7372209 polymorphism was associated with the susceptibility to overall cancer significantly in homozygote comparison and recessive model (TT versus CC: OR = 1.167, 95% CI: 1.025-1.329, P = 0.020; TT versus CT + CC: OR = 1.162, 95% CI: 1.025-1.318, P = 0.019). For miR-423 rs6505162, this study showed that the relationship between it and overall cancer susceptibility was statistically significant among five genetic models (CA versus CC: OR = 0.884, 95% CI: 0.806-0.969, P = 0.009; AA + CA versus CC: OR = 0.870, 95% CI: 0.789-0.959, P = 0.005; AA versus CA + CC: OR = 0.904, 95% CI: 0.827-0.988, P = 0.026; A versus C: OR = 0.899, 95% CI: 0.834-0.970, P = 0.006) rather than homozygote model. CONCLUSIONS Rs7372209 in miR-26a-1 and rs6505162 in miR-423 are associated with overall cancer susceptibility.

[PMID: 31838252 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2019.144185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2019] [Revised: 10/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/17/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND MiR-27a rs895819 polymorphism is considered as a tumor- related susceptibility gene. Previous meta-analyses evaluated the association the association between miR-27a rs895819 and cancer risk, but the results were inconsistent. The present meta-analysis was carried out to better estimate the correlation of rs895819 and cancer susceptibility. METHODS We searched several databases to identify relevant studies, including PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the association between miR-27a rs895819 and cancer risk. RESULTS The overall analysis showed the miR-27a rs895819 was not associated with cancer susceptibility in all models (dominant model: OR = 1.02, 95% CI:0.94-1.10, p = 0.632; recessive model: OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.92-1.76, p = 0.474; homozygote model: OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.91-1.23, p = 0.439; heterozygote model: OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.93-1.08, p = 0.934; and allele model: OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.96-1.09, p = 0.486). Interestingly, rs895819 A > G was significantly associated with colorectal cancer risk in recessive model (OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.29-1.83, p < 0.001), homozygote model (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.31-1.92, p < 0.001), and allele model (OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.10-1.34, p < 0.001). In addition, rs895819 polymorphism was correlated with increased risk of breast cancer in the recessive model (OR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.66-1.00, p = 0.046) and allele model (OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.80-0.98, p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that rs895819 polymorphism was correlated with increased risk of colorectal cancer and breast cancer, but not all types of cancer.

Abstract
Background: Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNAs) (referred to as miR-SNPs) participate in the process of carcinogenesis by altering the expression and structure of mature miRNAs. However, the associations between several previously reported miR-SNPs, including miR-196a2 rs11614913, miR-146a rs2910164, miR-34b/c rs4938723, and miR-423 rs6505162 and the susceptibility of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain controversial. We, therefore, performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to systemically evaluate the correlation of genetic polymorphisms in these four miRNAs with the risk of ESCC. Methods: Relevant studies were searched in PubMed and other electronic databases up to August 2018, supplemented by a manual search of references from retrieved articles. The pooled ORs with 95% CIs were calculated using a random-effects model. Results: A total of 22 studies from 13 published articles were included in the meta-analysis. All studies have a relatively high score of quality assessment. The pooled analysis indicated that individuals with the variant TT genotype of rs11614913 in miR-196a2 gene have a significantly decreased risk of ESCC compared with CC genotype (OR =0.83, 95% CI: 0.73–0.95). The decreased risk of ESCC was also shown in the recessive model (TT vs CT/CC: OR=0.86, 95%CI: 0.77–0.96) and allele model (T vs C: OR=0.93, 95%CI: 0.87–0.99). The significantly reduced risk of ESCC was also observed in the polymorphisms of the miR-34b/c rs4938723 locus. The similar tendency was presented in the subgroup of Chinese Han population when stratified by ethnicity. However, no significant associations were observed in the miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-423 rs6505162 with the susceptibility of ESCC in any genetic model. Conclusion: Our results suggested that the polymorphisms of miR-196a and miR-34b/c genes were related to the risk of ESCC, especially among Chinese. The findings of this study, however, need to be confirmed in further researches.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) is an extremely aggressive cancer with one of the highest mortality rates. The cancer is generally only diagnosed at the later stages and has a poor 5-year survival rate due to the limited treatment options. China and South Africa are two countries with a very high prevalence rate of EC. EC rates in South Africa have been on the increase, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant subtype and a primary cause of cancer-related deaths in the black and male mixed ancestry populations in South Africa. The incidence of EC is highest in the Eastern Cape Province, especially in the rural areas such as the Transkei, where the consumption of foods contaminated with Fusarium verticillioides is thought to play a major contributing role to the incidence of EC. China is responsible for almost half of all new cases of EC globally. In China, the prevalence of EC varies greatly. However, the two main areas of high prevalence are the southern Taihang Mountain area (Linxian, Henan Province) and the north Jiangsu area. In both countries, environmental toxins play a major role in increasing the chance that an individual will develop EC. These associative factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, nutritional deficiencies and exposure to environmental toxins. However, genetic polymorphisms also play a role in predisposing individuals to EC. These include single-nucleotide polymorphisms that can be found in both protein-coding genes and in non-coding sequences such as miRNAs. The aim of this review is to summarize the contribution of genetic polymorphisms to EC in South Africa and to compare and contrast this to the genetic polymorphisms observed in EC in the most comprehensively studied population group, the Chinese.

Abstract
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that functional dysregulations of miRNAs, especially miR-196a-2 and miR-149, in cancers could be attributed to polymorphisms in miRNA sequences. This study was aimed at clarifying the association of mir-196a-2 rs11614913 and mir-149 rs2292832 with cancer risk by performing an updated meta-analysis of genetic association studies. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases were searched until 9 April 2018 to identify eligible studies. Studies should meet the following criteria to be included in the meta-analysis: evaluation of genetic association between rs11614913 and/or rs2292832 and susceptibility to cancer; A case-control design; Written in English; Availability of sufficient data for estimating odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Studies that met the following criteria were excluded: review articles, meta-analysis, abstracts or conference papers; duplicate publications; studies on animals or cell-lines; studies without a case-control design; studies that did not report genotype frequencies. Pooled ORs and 95% CIs were estimated using a total of 111 studies (41,673 cases and 49,570 controls) for mir-196a rs11614913 and 44 studies (15,954 cases and 19,594 controls) for mir-149 rs2292832. Stratified analysis according to quality scores, genotyping method, ethnicity, broad cancer category and cancer type was also performed. Results: Mir-196a-2 rs11614913 T allele was associated with decreased cancer risk in overall population. The association was only significant in Asians but not Caucasians. In subgroup analysis, significant associations were found in high quality studies, gynecological cancers, ovarian, breast, and hepatocellular cancer. Mir-149 rs2292832 was not associated with cancer risk in overall population and there were no differences between Asians and Caucasians. However, the T allele was associated with a decrease risk of gastrointestinal tract cancers under the heterozygote model and an increased risk of colorectal cancer under the recessive model. Conclusions: The present meta-analysis suggests that mir-196a-2 rs11614913 may contribute to the risk of cancer especially in Asians. Mir-149 rs2292832 may modulate the risk of gastrointestinal tract cancers especially colorectal cancer. This study had some limitations such as significant heterogeneity in most contrasts, limited number of studies enrolling Africans or Caucasians ancestry and lack of adjustment for covariates and environmental interactions.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) is the eighth most common and sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the world. Despite breakthroughs in EC diagnosis and treatment, patients with complete pathologic response after being submitted to chemoradiotherapy are still submitted to surgery, despite its high morbidity. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA, miRNA-binding sites, and in its biogenesis pathway genes can alter miRNA expression patterns, thereby influencing cancer risk and prognosis. In this review, we systematized the information available regarding the impact of these miR-SNPs in EC development and prognosis. We found 34 miR-SNPs that were associated with EC risk. Despite the promising applicability of these miR-SNPs as disease biomarkers, they still lack validation in non-Asian populations. Moreover, there should be more pathway-based approaches to evaluate the cumulative effect of multiple unfavorable genotypes and, consequently, identify miR-SNPs signatures capable of predicting EC therapy response and prognosis.

Abstract
Objective The etiology of lung cancer has been attributed to both environmental and genetic factors. In this study, we investigated the association between five miRNA gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of lung cancer, and explored the interaction between genetic and environmental factors in the Han people of China, the ethnic group that represents >90% of the population of the country. Methods This case–control study included 1,067 cases and 1,085 controls. Epidemiological data were collected by in-person interviews using a standard questionnaire. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry was applied to genotype the selected miRNA gene SNPs. Unconditional logistic regression and stratified analysis were used to analyze the associations between these SNPs and lung cancer, and to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Crossover analysis, logistic regression, and the Excel table made by Andersson were used to analyze the combined and interaction effects of gene–environment. Results The rs12894467 CC/CT genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk for lung cancer in women (adjusted OR =1.46, 95% CI=1.01–2.10). Smokers carrying the CC/ CT genotype were associated with a significantly decreased risk of lung cancer, the adjusted OR was 0.75 (95% CI: 0.57–0.98). In the dominant model, rs12894467 and gender were associated with a positive multiplicative interaction; rs12894467 and smoking were associated with a negative multiplicative interaction. Conclusion The rs12894467 polymorphism was potentially associated with primary lung cancer in the Han Chinese population and had an interactive relationship with environmental factors.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, short and non-coding RNAs that may play important roles in the pathogenesis of tumor. The associations between microRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphism and cancer risk in different systems remain inconclusive. This article is aimed to obtain more exact estimation of these relationships through a meta-analysis based on 52,456 individuals. We retrieved relevant and eligible studies from Pubmed and Embase database up to January 10, 2018. ORs and 95% CIs were used to estimate the associations between miR-499 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility in different systems. All analyses were performed using the Stata 11.0 software. A total of 65 case-control studies were retrieved using explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study included 23,762 cases and 28,694 controls. Overall cancer analysis showed the association between miR-499 polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer was significant. MicroRNA-499 rs3746444 was found to be significantly associated with increased risk of cancer of the respiratory system (CC vs. TT: OR = 1.575, 95% CI = 1.268–1.955, CC vs. TC+TT: OR = 1.527, 95% CI = 1.232–1.892), digestive system (CC vs. TT: OR = 1.153, 95% CI = 1.027–1.295; TC vs. TT: OR = 1.109, 95% CI = 1.046–1.176; CC+TC vs. TT: OR = 1.112, 95% CI = 1.018–1.216; CC vs. TC+TT: OR = 1.137, 95% CI = 1.016–1.272; C vs. T: OR = 1.112, 95% CI = 1.025–1.206), urinary system (TC vs. TT: OR = 1.307, 95% CI = 1.130–1.512; CC+TC vs. TT: OR = 1.259, 95% CI = 1.097–1.446; C vs. T: OR = 1.132, 95% CI = 1.014–1.264), and gynecological system (C vs. T: OR = 1.169, 95% CI = 1.002–1.364). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the result showed that significant association with an increased cancer risk was found in Asian. Subgroup analysis based on type of tumor was also performed, miR-499 rs3746444 is associated with susceptibility of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Many studies have been conducted to investigate the association between miR-27 rs895819 A > G and miR-423 rs6505162 C > A and cancer risk; however, the results are not consistent. In order to acquire a more precise assessment of the correlation, we performed this meta-analysis. We searched PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases to identify eligible studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to evaluate the correlation of these two microRNA polymorphisms with cancer risk. Forty-five eligible studies from thirty-five articles were included in our analysis. The results showed that rs895819 was associated with a decreased cancer risk in Caucasians (AG vs. AA: OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.79-0.96; GG+AG vs. AA: OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.81-0.98). When grouped by ethnicity, an increased risk was observed in colorectal cancer (G vs. A: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.08-1.32; GG vs. AA: OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.28-1.96; GG vs. AG+AA: OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.29-1.93), while a decreased risk was found in breast cancer (G vs. A: OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.87-0.99; GG+AG vs. AA: OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.83-0.99). For rs6505162, a significantly decreased cancer risk was observed in lung cancer under all five genetic models. To summarize, our results indicated that rs895819 was a protective factor for cancer in Caucasians and could increase colorectal cancer risk but decrease breast cancer risk. Moreover, rs6505162 was a protective factor for lung cancer.

Abstract
Several epidemiological studies have reported that polymorphisms in microRNA-196a2 (miR-196a2) were associated with various cancers. However, the results remained unverified and were inconsistent in different cancers. Therefore, we carried out an updated meta-analysis to elaborate the effects of rs11614913 polymorphism on cancer susceptibility. A total of 84 articles with 35,802 cases and 41,541 controls were included to evaluate the association between the miR-196a2 rs11614913 and cancer risk by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The results showed that miR-196a2 rs11614913 polymorphism is associated with cancer susceptibility, especially in lung cancer (homozygote comparison, OR =0.840, 95% CI =0.734-0.961; recessive model, OR =0.858, 95% CI =0.771-0.955), hepatocellular carcinoma (allelic contrast, OR =0.894, 95% CI =0.800-0.998; homozygote comparison, OR =0.900, 95% CI =0.813-0.997; recessive model, OR =0.800, 95% CI =0.678-0.944), and head and neck cancer (allelic contrast, OR =1.076, 95% CI =1.006-1.152; homozygote comparison, OR =1.214, 95% CI =1.043-1.413). In addition, significant association was found among Asian populations (allele model, OR =0.847, 95% CI =0.899-0.997, P=0.038; homozygote model, OR =0.878, 95% CI =0.788-0.977, P=0.017; recessive model, OR =0.895, 95% CI =0.824-0.972, P=0.008) but not in Caucasians. The updated meta-analysis confirmed the previous results that miR-196a2 rs11614913 polymorphism may serve as a risk factor for patients with cancers.

miR-146a C/G polymorphism increased the risk of head and neck cancer, but overall cancer risk: an analysis of 89 studies. Biosci Rep 2018; 38:BSR20171342. [PMID: 29208766 PMCID: PMC6435476 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20171342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2017] [Revised: 12/02/2017] [Accepted: 12/04/2017] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Several studies have evaluated the association of miR-146a C/G with head and neck cancer (HNC) susceptibility, and overall cancer risk, but with inconclusive outcomes. To drive a more precise estimation, we carried out this meta-analysis. The literature was searched from MEDLINE (mainly PubMed), Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases to identify eligible studies. A total of 89 studies were included. The results showed that miR-146a C/G was significantly associated with increased HNC risk in dominant model (I2 =15.6%, Pheterogeneity=0.282, odds ratio (OR) =1.088, 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.002–1.182, P=0.044). However, no cancer risk was detected under all genetic models. By further stratified analysis, we found that rs4919510 mutation contributed to the risk of HNC amongst Asians under homozygote model (I2 =0, Pheterogeneity=0.541, OR =1.189, 95% CI =1.025–1.378, P=0.022), and dominant model (I2 =0, Pheterogeneity=0.959, OR =1.155, 95% CI =1.016–1.312, P=0.028). Simultaneously, in the stratified analysis by source of controls, a significantly increased cancer risk amongst population-based studies was found under homozygote model, dominant model, recessive model, and allele comparison model. However, no significant association was found in the stratified analysis by ethnicity and source of control. The results indicated that miR-146a C/G polymorphism may contribute to the increased HNC susceptibility and could be a promising target to forecast cancer risk for clinical practice. However, no significant association was found in subgroup analysis by ethnicity and source of control. To further confirm these results, well-designed large-scale case–control studies are needed in the future.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the association between gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma (GCA) and four functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including interleukin 18 (IL18) rs360719 A>G, IL18 receptor 1 (IL18R1) rs13015714 G>T, IL18 receptor accessory protein (IL18RAP) rs917997 C>T and interleukin 28B (IL28B) rs8099917 T>G variants. A hospital-based case-control study was performed to evaluate the genetic effects of these SNPs. A total of 243 GCA cases and 476 controls were enrolled in this study. A custom-by-design 48-Plex SNPscan™ kit was used to determine the genotypes. When the IL18 rs360719 AA homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the AG genotype was not associated with the risk for GCA; the GG genotype was also not associated with the risk for GCA. In the dominant model, the IL18 rs360719 AG/GG variants were not associated with the risk for GCA, compared with the IL18 rs360719 AA genotype. In the recessive model, when the IL18R1 rs13015714 AA/AG genotypes were used as the reference group, the GG homozygote genotype was not associated with risk for GCA. No association was observed between IL18R1 rs13015714 G>T, IL18RAP rs917997 C>T and IL28B rs8099917 T>G polymorphisms and the risk for GCA. These results demonstrated that the functional polymorphisms IL18 rs360719 A>G, IL18R1 rs13015714 G>T, IL18RAP rs917997 C>T and IL28B rs8099917 T>G do not contribute to GCA susceptibility. However, as the statistical power of our study was limited, large well-designed studies and further functional investigations are required to confirm our findings.

[PMID: 29371991 PMCID: PMC5768408 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.22547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2017] [Accepted: 08/29/2017] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules, which participate in diverse biological processes and may regulate tumor suppressor genes or oncogenes. Rs11614913 in miR-196a2 and rs3746444 in miR-499 are shown to associate with increased/decreased cancer risk. This meta-analysis was performed to systematically assess the overall association. Materials and Methods We searched Pubmed, Web of Knowledge, EMBASE, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases until December 2016 to identify eligible studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the strength of the associations. Results We assessed published studies of the association between these microRNA polymorphisms and cancer risk from 56 studies with 21958/26436 cases/controls for miR-196a2 and from 37 studies with 13759/17946 cases/controls for miR-499. The results demonstrated that miR-196a2 rs11614913 was significantly associated with a decreased cancer risk, in particular with a decreased risk for colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, or for Asian population subgroup. In addition, miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism was observed as a risk factor for cancers, in particular, for breast cancer, or for in the Asian population. Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggests that the rs11614913 most likely contributes to decreased susceptibility to cancer, especially in Asians and colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, and that the rs3746444 may increase risk for cancer. Furthermore, more well-designed studies with large sample size are still necessary to further elucidate the association between polymorphisms and different kinds of cancers risk.

Abstract
Objective In China in 2009, esophageal cancer was the fifth most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the fourth leading cause of malignancy-related death. Accumulating evidence indicates that genetic factors might play an important role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) carcinogenesis. Materials and Methods In total, we recruited 629 ESCC patients and 686 controls. Genetic variations in the S100A14, MLH1, SMAD7 and CCL22/MDC genes were measured using the ligation detection reaction method. Results When the S100A14 rs11548103 GG genotype was considered as the reference group, the GA genotype associated with decreased risk of ESCC (GA vs. GG: adjusted OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.57–0.93, p = 0.009). In the dominant model, GA/AA variants were associated with a significantly decreased risk of ESCC compared with the GG genotype (GA/AA vs. GG: adjusted OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.61–0.95, p = 0.018). Logistic regression analyses showed that the MLH1 rs1800734 C>T, SMAD7 rs12953717 C>T and CCL22/MDC rs4359426C>A polymorphisms were not associated with the risk of ESCC in any of the models tested. Conclusions Our findings indicated that, in a Chinese population, rs11548103 might contribute to a decreased risk of ESCC. Further studies are need to confirm these data with results from a lager cohort and different ethnic origins.

Abstract
Genetic polymorphisms, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and nucleotide repeat expansions, can occur in regions that transcribe non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), such as, but not limited to, micro RNA and long non-coding RNA. An association between genetic polymorphisms of ncRNA and increasing head and neck cancer (HNC) risk has been identified by several studies. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review is to consolidate existing findings to clarify this association. Four electronic databases, such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, were utilised. Inclusion of studies and data extraction were accomplished in duplicate. A total of 42 eligible studies were included, involving 28,527 cases and 37,151 controls. Meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias detection were performed. Among the eligible studies, 102 SNPs were investigated, and 21 of them were considered eligible for meta-analysis. Our analysis revealed that HOTAIR rs920778, uc003opf.1 rs11752942, and miR-196a2 rs11614913 were related to HNC susceptibility, while let-7 rs10877887, miR-124-1rs531564, and miR-608 rs4919510 were considered as protective factors. In conclusion, our results showed the extreme importance of an up-to-date comprehensive meta-analysis encompassing the most recent findings to obtain a relevant and reliable framework to understand the relationship between ncRNA SNPs and HNC susceptibility.

Abstract
AIM There is merging evidence suggesting that the miR-146a polymorphism might be associated with susceptibility to digestive system cancer. However, previous published studies have failed to achieve a definitive conclusion. To address this issue, an updated meta-analysis was performed. METHODS A comprehensive electronic search was conducted using the following source to identify the eligible studies: PubMed, Embase, China BioMedicine, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Odds ratios and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was used in the quantitative synthesis. RESULTS The database search identified 1344 eligible studies, of which 32 (comprising 12,541 cases and 15,925 controls) were included. The results indicate that the miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism was significantly associated with increased risk of digestive system cancer in heterozygote comparison (GC vs. CC: OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.02-1.30, P=0.02), and recessive model (GG vs. GC+CC: OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.04-1.17, P=0.006). Subgroup analysis by cancer site revealed increased risk in gastric cancer above heterozygote comparison (GG vs. GC: OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.02-1.25, P=0.02), and recessive model (GG vs. GC+CC: OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.04-1.26, P=0.006). Similarly, increased cancer risk was observed in hepatocellular carcinoma when compared with homozygote comparison (GG vs. CC: OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.04-1.42, P=0.02), heterozygote comparison (GC vs. CC: OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.02-1.29, P=0.02), and dominant model (GG+GC vs. CC: OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.04-1.29, P=0.009). When stratified by ethnicity and quality score, increased cancer risks were also observed among Asians, Caucasians and high quality studies subgroup. CONCLUSION The current study revealed that miR-146a G/C genetic polymorphism was more likely to be associated with digestive system cancer risk.

Abstract
CONCLUSION In this cohort of 156 non-syndromic hearing-impaired subjects of Tengzhou area, the most common deafness-associated genes GJB2, SLC26A4 and mtDNA 12S rRNA were investigated by SNPscan efficiently. GJB2 c.235delC and SLC26A4 c.IVS7-2A > G were the most common mutation sites. OBJECTIVES Until now, there is no systematic gentic analysis in patients with non-syndromic hearing loss for Tengzhou area, so we evaluated the molecular etiology to investigate the hot-sports. METHODS Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 156 patients with severe-to-profound non-syndromic deafness in Tengzhou. The SNP scan assay technique was performed for a rapid multiplex genetic screening to detect the 115 mutations of the most common three genes. All results were statistically analyzed with SPSS software. RESULTS Among the 156 analyzed patients, 60 patients were demonstrated with deafness genes, accounting for 38.46% (60/156), including GJB2 (22.44%, 35/156), SLC26A4 (13.66%, 22/156), and mtDNA 12S rRNA (2.56%, 4/156). In this study, we confirmed 23 deafness-causing mutations and 27 different allelic combinations including GJB2 (eight variants, 11 allelic combinations), SLC26A4 (13 variants, 16 allelic combinations) and mtDNA 12S rRNA (two variants). The occurrence rates of these deafness-causing mutations GJB2 c.235delC and SLC26A4 c.IVS7-2A > G were significantly higher than other mutation sites (p < 0.01).

Abstract
Hearing loss is a common sensory disorder, and at least 50% of cases are due to a genetic etiology. Although hundreds of genes have been reported to be associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss, GJB2, SLC26A4, and mtDNA12SrRNA are the major contributors. However, the mutation spectrum of these common deafness genes varies among different ethnic groups. The present work summarized mutations in these three genes and their prevalence in 339 patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss at three different special education schools and one children's hospital in Linyi, China. A new multiplex genetic screening system “SNPscan assay” was employed to detect a total of 115 mutations of the above three genes. Finally, 48.67% of the patients were identified with hereditary hearing loss caused by mutations in GJB2, SLC26A4, and mtDNA12SrRNA. The carrying rate of mutations in the three genes was 37.76%, 19.75%, and 4.72%, respectively. This mutation profile in our study is distinct from other parts of China, with high mutation rate of GJB2 suggesting a unique mutation spectrum in this area.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified many genes associated with digestive tract neoplasms. However, the published findings have been conflicting. The aim of our study was to evaluate the involvement of two polymorphisms (miR-146a rs2910164, miR-196a2 rs11614913) in digestive tract neoplasms risk and explore how miR-146a and miR-196a2 influence this risk. Systemic research of the PubMed, EBSCO, CBM and VIP databases was performed. The software STATA 12.0 was used to calculate odd ratios and 95% confidence intervals. There were 14 studies (6,053 cases and 6,527 controls) available for rs2910164 and 15 studies (5,648 cases and 6,607 controls) involved in rs11614913. Rs2910164G>C was statistically significantly associated with digestive tract neoplasms (OR 1.134, 95% CI 1.076-1.194, P < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significant association was observed in Asian individuals (OR 1.145, 95% CI 1.084-1.209, P < 0.001). We found a correlation between rs11614913 and only colorectal cancer (OR 1.325, 95% CI 1.102-1.594, P = 0.003). This study suggested that digestive tract neoplasms might associate with miR-146a variants, but not miR-196a2 variants.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the dominant type of esophageal cancer in the East Asian population. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been studied to play important roles in tumorigenesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA lead to the aberrant expression and structural alteration of miRNA and are hypothesized to be involved in tumorigenesis and cancer development. We conducted a population-based case-control study to evaluate the association between SNPs in miRNAs and ESCC risk in 1400 ESCC cases and 2185 matched controls. Four SNPs including miR-196a2 rs11614913, miR-146a rs2910164, miR-499 rs3746444, and miR-423 rs6505162 were selected with comprehensive collection strategy and genotyped using the SNaPshot Multiplex System. Odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) were used to assess the strength of association. The CC genotype of miR-196a2 rs11614913 was significantly associated with an increased ESCC risk compared with the TT genotype (OR 1.11, 95 % CI 1.01-1.22, P 0.049) and the TT/TC genotypes (OR 1.09, 95 % CI 1.01-1.19, P 0.043). The association was more pronounced in non-drinkers in the recessive model (OR 1.13, 95 % CI 1.01-1.27, P 0.029). A significantly increased risk of ESCC associated with miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism was evident among patients who never smoking and drinking. This study suggests that miR-196a2 rs11614913 and miR-499 rs3746444 are associated with an increased ESCC risk in a Chinese population.

Abstract
Background MicroRNAs are a class of new noncoding RNA that play important roles in the pathogenesis of tumor. Rs3746444 in miR-499 is suggested to be associated with cancer susceptibility. In the present study, we assess the association between miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility through a meta-analysis. Methods We searched relevant articles from the PubMed and Embase databases. We screened all the resulting articles for adherence to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The associations between miR-499 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility were estimated by computing the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). All analyses were performed using Stata software. Results There are 18 datasets included in the analysis. Statistically significant associations were found between the miR-499 rs3746444 polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer (GG versus AA: OR =1.24, 95% CI: 1.01–1.52; G versus A: OR =1.11, 95% CI: 1.01–1.23). A subsequent analysis, on the basis of ethnicity for the population characteristic, showed that Asians had increased susceptibility to cancer (GG versus AA: OR =1.32, 95% CI: 1.09–1.59; GG + AG versus AA: OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.01–1.37). In the subgroup analysis of tumor type, none of the genetic models had statistically significant results. The meta-regression suggested that race and cancer types are not the source of heterogeneity in the present meta-analysis. No publication bias was detected by either the inverted funnel plot or Egger’s test. Conclusion Rs3746444 in miR-499 might be related to susceptibility to cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To find the association of two pre-miRNA polymorphisms with risk of lung cancer in North Indians. Materials & methods: Genotyping of 250 cases and 255 controls for miR-146a and miR-196a2 using PCR-RFLP. Results: Heterozygous subjects showed a risk toward lung cancer (LC), especially for adenocarcinoma (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.04–3.20; p = 0.03) in miR-146a gene. TT genotype for miR-196a2 gene also showed 3.2-fold risk toward LC and the risk was fivefold higher for squamous cell carcinoma. Survival rate was significantly lower in subjects with TT genotype as compared with the CC genotype in miR-196a2. Conclusion: Both the single nucleotide polymorphism variants showed a positive association toward risk of lung cancer.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs which act as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. And single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in miRNA regions is one type of genetic variations in human genome. Various studies have investigated the associations of miRNAs SNP and kinds of cancers. In this article, we searched eligible studies to explore the relationships between mir-196a2 /mir-146a /mir-149 polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC). A literature search of PubMed, Web of Science and ScienceDirect was conducted to identify all relevant studies. Three genetic models with pooled ratio and 95% confidence interval were used to evaluate the associations. We found that mir-196a2 polymorphism was significantly associated with CRC in Asian group (additive model: OR = 1.197, 95%CI 1.084 ~ 1.32, P < 0.001; dominant model: OR = 1.247, 95%CI 1.065 ~ 1.46, P = 0.006; recessive model: OR = 1.298, 95%CI 1.101 ~ 1.531, P = 0.002). And no associations were observed between SNPs of mir-146a, mir-149 and CRC in three genetic models. We also found CRC risk was not associated with mir-146a and mir-149 polymorphisms in population subgroup analysis. The current meta-analysis suggests that mir-196a2 polymorphism is associated with CRC, especially in Asian group. While, no associations have been found between mir-146a /mir-149 polymorphisms and CRC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) and ten functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including TP53BP1 rs560191 G>C, CASP8 rs1035142 G>T, CASP7 rs3127075 G>C, CASP7 rs7907519 C>A, and six C1orf10/CRNN variants. We performed a hospital-based case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of these SNPs. METHODS Two hundred and forty-three GCA cases and 476 controls were enrolled in this study. A custom-by-design 48-Plex SNPscan(TM) Kit was used to determine their genotypes. RESULTS When the TP53BP1 rs560191 GG homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the GC genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk of GCA. The CC genotype was not associated with the risk of GCA compared with the GG genotype. None of the CASP8 rs1035142 G>T, CASP7 rs3127075 G>C, CASP7 rs7907519 C>A or the six C1orf10/CRNN polymorphisms showed a significant difference in genotype distributions between the cases and the controls. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated that the functional polymorphism TP53BP1 rs560191 G>C might contribute to GCA susceptibility. However, the statistical power of our study was limited. Large, well-designed studies and further functional investigations are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have evaluated the association between miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism and cancer risk in Chinese population, but the results were inconclusive. The present meta-analysis was conducted to clarify these controversies. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all relevant case-control studies of miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism and cancer risk in Chinese participants. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the strength of any association. RESULTS A total of 12 case-control studies involving 2655 cases and 3106 controls were included. Overall, the results suggested that there was no significant association between miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism and cancer risk in Chinese population (OR = 1.14, 95%CI 0.86 to1.15, P = 0.85 for GG vs. AA). In the subgroup analysis by the source of controls, no significant association was found either among hospital-based group (OR = 1.16, 95%CI 0.78 to 1.73) or population-based group (OR = 1.06, 95%CI 0.74 to 1.35). However, when stratified by cancer types, we found a significant association between the polymorphism with colorectal cancer (OR = 1.56, 95%CI 1.01 to 2.40 for GG vs. AA). CONCLUSION miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism was associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer in Chinese population.

Abstract
Worldwide, rates of esophageal cancer have been keeping highly in recent decades. Genetic variants in multiple cellular pathways might play an important role in altering risk of esophageal carcinoma. In this study, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were investigated in Chinese Han populations. We have genotyped the ANRIL rs2151280 T/C, POLR2E rs3787016 C/T, and HULC rs7763881 A/C SNPs in 380 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cases and 380 cancer-free controls. POLR2E rs3787016 C/T was associated with a significantly decreased risk for ESCC (CT vs. CC: OR 0.62, 95 % CI 0.44-0.87, P = 0.005; adjusted OR 0.62, 95 % CI 0.44-0.87, P = 0.005). The other SNP, HULC rs7763881, also showed a suggestive association (AC vs. AA: OR 0.70, 95 % CI 0.50-0.98, P = 0.037; adjusted OR 0.69, 95 % CI 0.49-0.97, P = 0.031). ANRIL rs2151280 T/C SNP was not associated with risk of ESCC. In the future, larger studies with other ethnic populations, tissue-specific biological characterization, and detailed individual information should be undertaken to validate current findings.

Abstract
AIM Associations between polymorphisms in miR-146aG>C, miR-196a2C>T and miR-499A>G and risk of HCC, and interaction with HBV infection in a Chinese population, were the target of the present research. METHODS The duplex polymerase-chain-reaction with confronting-two-pair primers (PCR-RFLP) was performed to determine the genotypes of the miR-146aG>C, miR-196a2C>T and miR-499A>G genotypes. Associations of polymorphisms with the risk of HCC were estimated by conditional logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Drinking, family history of cancer, HBsAg and HCV were risk factors for HCC. Multivariate regression analyses showed that subjects carrying the miR-196a2 CC genotype had significantly increased risk of HCC, with an adjusted OR (95% CI) of 2.18 (1.23-3.80). In addition, cases carrying the miR-196a2 C allele had a 1.64-fold increase in the risk for HCC (95%CI=1.03-2.49). The miR-196a CT and TT genotypes greatly significantly increased the risk of HCC in subjects with HBV infection, with adjusted ORs (95% CI) of 2.02 (1.12-3.68) and 2.69 (1.28-5.71), respectively. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that miR-196a2 CC genotype and C allele have an important role in HCC risk in Chinese, especially in patients with HBV infection.

Abstract
Many observational studies have found that microRNA-196a2 rs11614913, microRNA-146a rs2910164, and microRNA-423 rs6505162 are associated with esophageal cancer risk. However, the results were mixed and inconsistent among these studies. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between the polymorphisms of three microRNAs and esophageal cancer susceptibility. We systematically searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases to screen relevant studies. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to compute the risk of esophageal cancer. Because of the differences in ethnicities, sources of controls, and genotyping methods, the meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effect model regardless of heterogeneity. To further explore potential heterogeneity, we performed subgroup and sensitivity analyses, and publication bias was also evaluated. A total of 6 case-control studies on microRNA-196a2 rs11614913, 4 studies on microRNA-146a rs2910164, and 4 studies on microRNA-423 rs6505162 were considered eligible in the meta-analysis. No statistical association was found between microRNA-196a2 rs11614913, microRNA-146a rs2910164, and microRNA-423 rs6505162 polymorphisms and esophageal cancer susceptibility in any genetic model. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses showed similar results. In summary, based on the currently limited proof, no association exists between microRNA-196a2 rs11614913, microRNA-146a rs2910164, and microRNA-423 rs6505162 polymorphism and esophageal cancer risk. However, the result should be cautiously interpreted because of the heterogeneity among studies. Large, high quality clinical trials are required to verify our findings.

Abstract
Gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) is one of the most common malignant tumors and among the leading causes of cancer-related death. Genetic factors might play an important role in GCA carcinogenesis. Here, we performed a hospital-based case-control study to evaluate the effect of functional p21, p53, TP53BP1 and p73 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the risk of GCA. The study included 330 GCA cases and 608 controls. Genotypes were determined using the ligation detection reaction (LDR) method. The p21 rs1059234 TT, p21 rs3176352 GC/CC, p21 rs762623 GA and TP53BP1 rs560191 CC genotypes were associated with the risk of GCA, and a genotype combination effect was observed. After Bonferroni correction, the association remained significant for TP53BP1 rs560191 G > C, whereas the remaining four SNPs showed no association between the polymorphisms and GCA risk in all comparison models. Further large replication studies are needed to confirm the present findings.

[PMID: 25433484 PMCID: PMC4411927 DOI: 10.1186/s12881-014-0126-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2013] [Accepted: 11/11/2014] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous, small and non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression negatively at the post-transcriptional level by suppressing translation or degrading target mRNAs, and are involved in diverse biological and pathological processes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are located in the miRNA-coding genes may participate in the process of development and diseases by altering the expression of mature miRNA. Recent studies investigating the association between hsa-mir-499 polymorphism (rs3746444) and cancer risk have yielded conflicting results. METHODS In this meta-analysis, we conducted a search of case-control studies on the associations of SNP rs3746444 with susceptibility to cancer in electronic databases. A total of 31 studies involving 12799 cases and 14507 controls were retrieved and the strength of the association was estimated by pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was assessed by the goodness-of-fit chi-square test in controls. Subgroup analyses were done by racial descent and cancer type. Publication bias of literatures was evaluated by visual inspection of funnel plots and the linear regression asymmetry test by Egger et al. Sensitivity analysis was conducted by excluding one study at a time to examine the influence of individual data set on the pooled ORs. RESULTS Overall, significant association between rs3746444 polymorphism and susceptibility to cancer was identified in TC versus TT and TC/CC versus TT (dominant) models. In the stratified analyses, increased risks were found in Asians, but not in Caucasians in all comparison models tested. Moreover, significant association with an increased risk was found in Chinese population. Also, much higher significant association with increased cancer risks were found in Iranian population. In different cancer types, a decreased risk was found in esophageal cancer. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis suggested that hsa-mir-499 rs3746444 T > C polymorphism is associated with the risk of cancer in Asians, mainly in Iranian and Chinese population. However, rs3746444 T > C polymorphism is negatively associated with the risk of esophageal cancer.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) negatively regulate gene expression and act as tumor suppressors or oncogenes in oncogenesis. The association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in miR-146a rs2910164 and susceptibility to digestive system cancers was inconsistent in previous studies. In this study, we conducted a literature search of PubMed to identify all relevant studies published before August 31, 2013. A total of 21 independent case-control studies were included in this updated meta-analysis with 9,558 cases and 10,614 controls. We found that the miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased risk of digestive system cancers in an allele model (OR=0.90, 95%CI 0.87-0.94), homozygote model (OR=0.84, 95%CI 0.77-0.91), dominant model (OR=0.90, 95%CI 0.84-0.96), and recessive model (OR=0.85, 95%CI 0.79-0.91), while in a heterozygous model (OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.89-1.11) the association showed marginal significance. Subgroup analysis by cancer site revealed decreased risk in colorectal cancer above allele model (OR=0.90, 95%CI 0.83- 0.97) and homozygote model (OR=0.85, 95%CI 0.72-1.00). Similarly, decreased cancer risk was observed when compared with allele model (OR=0.87, 95%CI 0.81-0.93) and recessive model (OR=0.81, 95%CI 0.72-0.90) in gastric cancer. When stratified by ethnicity, genotyping methods and quality score, decreased cancer risks were also observed. This current meta-analysis indicated that miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphism may decrease the susceptibility to digestive system cancers, especially in Asian populations.

Abstract
Hearing loss (HL) is a common genetically heterogeneous sensory disorder, occurring in 1 to 3 per 1000 live births. In spite of the extraordinary genetic heterogeneity, variants in GJB2, MT-RNR1, and SLC26A4 genes have been considered as the main reasons of nonsyndromic hearing loss in Chinese population. We developed a rapid multiplex genetic screening system called the SNPscan assay technique which could detect the 115 mutations of the above three genes. This technique is a high-throughput and cost-saving SNP genotyping method. We found that the carrier rate of mutations in the GJB2 gene, MT-RNR1 gene, and SLC26A4 gene was 26.21%, 1.86%, and 25.46% of the patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss, respectively. Using this method, up to 50% of the patients in our study were identified to have hereditary HL caused by mutations in the three genes. It is applicable to not only genetic diagnosis of HL, but also molecular screening of other inherited diseases.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) caused about 395000 deaths in 2010. China has the most cases of EC and EC is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in China. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the predominant histologic type (90%-95%), while the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) remains extremely low in China. Traditional epidemiological studies have revealed that environmental carcinogens are risk factors for EC. Molecular epidemiological studies revealed that susceptibility to EC is influenced by both environmental and genetic risk factors. Of all the risk factors for EC, some are associated with the risk of ESCC and others with the risk of EAC. However, the details and mechanisms of risk factors involved in the process for EC are unclear. The advanced methods and techniques used in human genome studies bring a great opportunity for researchers to explore and identify the details of those risk factors or susceptibility genes involved in the process of EC. Human genome epidemiology is a new branch of epidemiology, which leads the epidemiology study from the molecular epidemiology era to the era of genome wide association studies (GWAS). Here we review the epidemiological studies of EC (especially ESCC) in the era of GWAS, and provide an overview of the general risk factors and those genomic variants (genes, SNPs, miRNAs, proteins) involved in the process of ESCC.

Abstract
microRNAs (miR/miRNAs) have been demonstrated to function as tumor suppressors and oncogenes, and miRNA polymorphisms may have a role in cancer development. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the miR-146aG>C, miR-149C>T, miR-196a2C>T and miR-499A>G polymorphisms and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. A total of 271 patients with HCC and 532 healthy control participants were enrolled in the present study. miR-146aG>C, miR-149C>T, miR-196a2C>T and miR-499A>G polymorphisms were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. A significant difference was identified in the genotype frequency of miR-196a2C>T in the patients in the case group compared with the control group (χ2=6.88; P=0.032). Compared with the CC genotype, the miR-196a2 TT genotype was associated with a significantly reduced risk of HCC [odds ratio (OR), 0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.38–0.99], and a significantly reduced risk was also found in the dominant (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.49–0.98) and recessive (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.46–1.02) models. Moreover, individuals with HBV who were carrying the miR-196a2 CT and TT genotypes had a significantly reduced risk of HCC (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.41–0.95; and OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.20–0.73, respectively). In conclusion, the present study found that the miR-196a2C>T polymorphism has a protective effect in patients with HCC, particularly in those with HBV infection.

Abstract
Objective Esophageal cancer was the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in China in 2009. Genetic factors might play an important role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) carcinogenesis. Designs and Methods To evaluate the effect p21, p53, TP53BP1 and p73 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the risk of ESCC, we conducted a hospital based case–control study. A total of 629 ESCC cases and 686 controls were recruited. Their genotypes were determined using ligation detection reaction (LDR) method. Results When the p21 rs3176352 GG homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the CC genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk of ESCC. When the p73 rs1801173 CC homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the CT genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk of ESCC. After Bonferroni correction, for p21 rs3176352 G>C, the pcorrect was still significant. For the other six SNPs, in all comparison models, no association between the polymorphisms and ESCC risk was observed. Conclusions p21 rs3176352 G>C and p73 rs1801173 C>T SNPs are associated with increased risk of ESCC. To confirm the current findings, additional, larger studies and tissue-specific biological characterization are required.

Abstract
Background. Recent studies suggested that two common polymorphisms, miR-146a G>C and miR-196a2 C>T, may be associated with individual susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the results remain conflicting rather than conclusive. Object. The aim of this study was to assess the association between miR-146a G>C and miR-196a2 C>T polymorphisms and the risk of HCC. Methods. A meta-analysis of 17 studies (10938 cases and 11967 controls) was performed. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to evaluate the strength of the association. Results. For miR-146a G>C, the variant genotypes were associated with a decreased risk of HCC (CC versus GG: OR = 0.780 and 95% CI 0.700–0.869; GC/CC versus GG: OR = 0.865 and 95% CI 0.787–0.952; CC versus GC/GG: OR = 0.835 and 95% CI 0.774–0.901). For miR-196a2 C>T, significant association was also observed (TT versus CC: OR = 0.783, 95% CI: 0.649–0.943, and P = 0.010; CT versus CC: OR = 0.831, 95% CI 0.714–0.967, and P = 0.017; CT/TT versus CC: OR = 0.817, 95% CI 0.703–0.949, and P = 0.008). Conclusion. The two common polymorphisms miR-146a G>C and miR-196a2 C>T were associated with decreased HCC susceptibility, especially in Asian population.

Abstract
Gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma (GCA) is one of the common malignant tumors in the world and has a high incidence in China. Both environmental risk factors and genetic factors might play an essential role in the GCA carcinogenesis. We performed a hospital-based case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of interleukin 15 (IL15) and IL15 receptor alpha (IL15RA) functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the pathogenesis of GCA. A total of 243 GCA cases and 476 controls were enrolled in this study. The genotypes were determined using a custom-by-design 48-Plex SNPscan(TM) Kit. When the IL15RA rs2228059 AA homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the CC genotype was correlated with a significantly decreased risk for GCA (CC vs. AA: adjusted OR = 0.61, 95 % CI = 0.37-0.98, p = 0.042). Our results revealed that functional variant IL15RA rs2228059 A > C might attenuate individual's risk of GCA. However, there was no significant association between the other five IL15 SNPs and GCA susceptibility. This present study demonstrated that IL15RA rs2228059 A > C polymorphism might modify GCA susceptibility. The results were based on a limited sample size; future larger studies with more rigorous designs are warranted to validate our findings.

Abstract
AIM Apoptosis has been considered as a fundamental component in cancer pathogenesis, and related genetic factors might play an important role in gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma (GCA) genesis. METHODS We conducted a hospital based case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): BCL2 rs17757541 C>G, BCL2 rs12454712 T>C, FAS rs2234767 G>A, FASL/FASLG rs763110 C>T, ERBB2 rs1136201 A>G and VEGFR2/KDR rs11941492 C>T on the development of GCA. A total of 243 GCA cases and 476 controls were recruited for the study and genotypes were determined using a custom-by-design 48-Plex SNPscanTM Kit. RESULTS The BCL2 rs17757541 C>G polymorphism was associated with increased risk of GCA. However, there was no significant associations with the other five SNPs. Stratified analyses indicated a significantly increased risk of GCA associated with the BCL2 rs17757541 C>G polymorphism among males, older patients and those with a history of smoking or drinking. CONCLUSION These findings indicated that the functional polymorphism BCL2 rs17757541 C>G might contribute to GCA susceptibility. However, our results were limited by small sample size. Future larger studies are required to confirm our current findings.
