Yu M, Zhang Q, Zhao X. Associations of MDM2 rs2279744 and TP53 rs1042522 polymorphisms with cervical cancer risk: A meta-analysis and systematic review. Front Oncol 2022; 12:973077. [PMID: 36059664 PMCID: PMC9437333 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.973077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BackgroundAlthough the association between MDM2 rs2279744 and TP53 rs1042522 polymorphisms and cervical cancer has been reported, the results of its correlation were contradictory. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to precisely verify the relationships between MDM2 rs2279744 and TP53 rs1042522 polymorphisms and cervical cancer.MethodsWe thoroughly searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases for all potential articles from inception to June 2022 and used R Version 4.1.2 and STATA software 12.0 for the meta-analysis. The odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and 95% prediction intervals (PIs) were calculated to evaluate the associations. Subgroup analyses stratified by ethnicity, source of control, quality score and adjustment were further conducted to assess the relationship between MDM2 rs2279744 and TP53 rs1042522 polymorphisms and cervical cancer.ResultsA total of 30 case-control studies involving 5025 cases and 6680 controls were included. All the included studies were population-based or hospital-based studies. The overall analysis showed that MDM2 rs2279744 polymorphism was closely related to an increased risk of cervical cancer in the recessive model (GG vs GT + TT: OR = 1.602, 95% CI: 1.077-2.383, P = 0.020) and homozygote model (GG vs TT: OR = 1.469, 95% CI: 1.031-2.095, P = 0.033, 95% PI: 0.516-4.184). A significant correlation between TP53 rs1042522 polymorphism and cervical cancer was observed in two models (CC + CG vs GG: OR = 1.759, 95% CI: 1.192-2.596, P = 0.004, 95% PI: 0.474-6.533; GG vs CC: OR = 2.442, 95% CI: 1.433-4.162, P = 0.001, 95% PI: 0.456-13.071).ConclusionsThis meta-analysis revealed that MDM2 SNP309T>G and TP53 rs1042522 C>G polymorphisms were associated with the increased risk of cervical cancer.

Das AP, Chopra M, Agarwal SM. Prioritization and Meta-analysis of regulatory SNPs identified IL6, TGFB1, TLR9 and MMP7 as significantly associated with cervical cancer. Cytokine 2022; 157:155954. [PMID: 35810505 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2022.155954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Cervical cancer is a leading women cancer globally with respect to both incidence and mortality. Its increased risk has been linked with HPV infection and genetic variations like single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Although, studies have been published which evaluates the effect of SNPs in a few candidate genes, however the role of number of regulatory SNPs (rSNPs) in cervical cancer is not available. As literature evidence has shown that non-coding rSNPs are related with increasing cervical cancer risk, we undertook this study to prioritize the important rSNPs and elucidate their role. A search was conducted in PubMed up to December 2020, which led to the identification of 263 articles and 969 SNPs in the non-coding region. These 969 SNPs were analysed through rSNPBase and RegulomeDB, leading to identification of 105 rSNPs. Afterwards, a regulatory module was constructed using protein-protein interaction data and a hub of highly interacting 23 target genes (corresponding to 34 rSNPs) was identified using MCODE. To further understand the mechanism of action of the 34 rSNPs, their transcription factor information with respect to cervical cancer was retrieved. To evaluate the pooled effect of these prioritized polymorphisms in cervical cancer patients, a meta-analysis was performed on 10,537 cases and 11,252 controls from 30 studies corresponding to 8 rSNPs. It led to identification of polymorphisms in IL6 (rs2069837), TGFB1 (rs1800469), TLR9 (rs187084) and MMP7 (rs11568818) which are significantly (p < 0.05) associated with increased cervical cancer risk at the population level. Overall, the study demonstrates that rSNPs targeting immune and inflammatory genes (IL1B, IL6, IL10, IL18, TGFB1, CCR5, CD40, TLR9, and MMP7) are associated with cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been a large number of epidemiologic studies regarding the association between genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and onset of cervical cancer. However, results are inconsistent. METHODS Articles published before June 2021 and regarding genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and cervical cancer were searched in following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CNKI. With at least three articles for each polymorphism, we made meta-analysis to compute multivariate odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS The present study showed significant associations between XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms and risk of cervical cancer in Asian, whereas no significant association between them were showed in Caucasian (Asian: GA vs. GG: OR = 1.27, 95%CI 1.06-1.52; AA vs. GG: OR = 1.91, 95%CI 1.29-2.83; GA + AA vs. GG: OR = 1.36, 95%CI 1.12-1.65; AA vs. GG + GA: OR = 1.66, 95%CI 1.17-2.37; Caucasian: GA vs. GG: OR = 1.08, 95%CI 0.83-1.41; AA vs. GG: OR = 2.18, 95%CI 0.75-6.31; GA + AA vs. GG: OR = 1.23, 95%CI 0.85-1.78; AA vs. GG + GA: OR = 1.70, 95%CI 0.69-4.18). In addition, there were significant associations between ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphisms and risk of cervical cancer in Asian (AC vs AA: OR = 0.53, 95%CI 0.37-0.75, I2 = 0.0%, p value of Q test = 0.847; AC + CC vs AA: OR = 0.50, 95%CI 0.36-0.70, I2 = 0.0%, p value of Q test = 0.856). CONCLUSIONS The meta-analysis showed that there were significant associations between XRCC1 Arg399Gln and ERCC2 rs13181 polymorphisms and risk of cervical cancer.

Abstract
BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor that has been found to be involved DNA synthesis during cell replication. In a recent study, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs799917, in BRCA1 was found to be associated with the development and progression of various types of tumor. In the present study, the association between rs799917 and susceptibility to lung cancer was evaluated in a Han Chinese population in the Liaoning Province of China. The BRCA1 rs799917 genotypes (C/C, C/T and T/T) were analyzed using TaqMan quantitative PCR in 682 patients with lung cancer and 694 healthy controls, and the results were analyzed using a Student's t-test, a χ2 test and logistic regression analysis. Individuals carrying the C/T or T/T genotype had a lower risk of lung cancer compared with those carrying the C/C genotype [odds ratio (OR), 0.741; P=0.021; and OR, 0.610; P=0.011, respectively). The C/T + T/T genotype group had an even lower risk (OR, 0.709; P=0.005) compared with that in the C/C genotype group. In the stratified analyses of non-smokers, individuals with the C/T or T/T genotype had a lower risk of developing lung cancer compared with that in those carrying the C/C genotype (OR, 0.681; P=0.013; and OR, 0.569; P=0.021, respectively). The stratified analyses of the BRCA1 rs799917 polymorphism based on pathological type, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, showed that in the squamous cell carcinoma, non-chemotherapy and non-radiotherapy subgroups, individuals with the T/T genotype had a lower risk of lung cancer compared with that in those carrying the C/C genotype (OR, 0.454; P=0.007; OR, 0.485; P=0.002; and OR, 0.599; P=0.020, respectively). In conclusion, the T allele of the rs799917 SNP in BRCA1 was associated with a lower risk of lung cancer in the ethnic Han Chinese population in Liaoning Province and may represent a protective factor against lung cancer.

The Effects of Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations of BARD1 on the Development of Non-Breast and Non-Gynecological Cancers. Genes (Basel) 2020; 11:genes11070829. [PMID: 32708251 PMCID: PMC7396976 DOI: 10.3390/genes11070829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2020] [Revised: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Breast Cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene is a well-characterized tumor suppressor gene, mutations of which are primarily found in women with breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA1-associated RING domain 1 (BARD1) gene has also been identified as an important tumor suppressor gene in breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers. Underscoring the functional significance of the BRCA1 and BARD1 interactions, prevalent mutations in the BRCA1 gene are found in its RING domain, through which it binds the RING domain of BARD1. BARD1-BRCA1 heterodimer plays a crucial role in a variety of DNA damage response (DDR) pathways, including DNA damage checkpoint and homologous recombination (HR). However, many mutations in both BARD1 and BRCA1 also exist in other domains that significantly affect their biological functions. Intriguingly, recent genome-wide studies have identified various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genetic alterations, and epigenetic modifications in or near the BARD1 gene that manifested profound effects on tumorigenesis in a variety of non-breast and non-gynecological cancers. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular functions of BARD1, including its BRCA1-dependent as well as BRCA1-independent functions. We will then focus on evaluating the common BARD1 related SNPs as well as genetic and epigenetic changes that occur in the non-BRCA1-dominant cancers, including neuroblastoma, lung, and gastrointestinal cancers. Furthermore, the pro- and anti-tumorigenic functions of different SNPs and BARD1 variants will also be discussed.

Abstract
The polymorphic variants of BRCA1, which lead to amino acid
substitutions, have a known pathogenic role in breast cancer. The present study
investigated in North Indian breast cancer patients the association of risk with
four reported pathogenic variants of BRCA1: c.190T>C
(p.Cys64Arg), 1307delT, g.5331G>A (p.G1738R) and c.2612C>T (p.Pro871Leu).
Genotyping was done by PCR-RFLP method in 255 clinically confirmed breast cancer
patients and 255 age and gender matched healthy individuals. For c.190T>C,
1307delT and g.5331G>A, all the patients and controls had the wild-type
genotype indicating no association with breast cancer risk. For c.2612C>T
polymorphism, the frequency of the CC, CT, and TT genotypes was 14.5 vs 15.7%,
59.6 vs 53.7% and 25.9 vs 30.6% in breast cancer patients and controls
respectively. The frequency of heterozygotes (CT genotype) was higher in cases
than controls but the difference was not statistically significant. Genetic
model analysis showed no association of the four analyzed BRCA1
variants with breast cancer risk with any model. The studied variants were not
associated with the risk of breast cancer in Punjab, North west India,
suggesting a need for further screening of other BRCA1
variants. It is the first reported study on these 4 variants from India.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) is the most important susceptibility gene associated with hereditary ovarian cancer (HOC). We aimed to screen BRAC1 and BRAC2 gene mutations in a member of a hereditary ovarian cancer family in China, and to analyze the structure and function of the mutant protein. METHODS A typical HOC family was selected. Blood samples and pathological tissue samples were taken from the female members of the family. Blood samples from two patients with sporadic ovaries of the same pathological type were taken as a control group. After RNA extraction, PCR amplification was applied and the PCR products were directly sequenced and aligned, prediction and analysis of protein structure and molecular conformation that may be caused by BRCA1/2 mutation. RESULTS The whole gene analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in ovarian cancer patients in the family showed that there were 8 mutations in BRCA1 whole gene sequencing, including 3 nonsense mutations (2314C>T, 2543T>C, 4540T>C); two mutations have been recorded, which are associated with cervical cancer (2844C>T) and endometriosis (3345A>G); three newly discovered mutations (3780A>G, 5069A>G, 3326A>T). Among them, 3780A>G and 5069A>G caused amino acid changes, while 3326A>T mutation caused Arg mutation to stop codon. A total of 7 mutations were detected in BRCA2 whole-genome sequencing, including 5 non-significant mutations (3623A>G, 4034T>C, 4790A>G, 6740G>C, 7469A>G); one no-record mutation (1716T>A), and 1 recorded mutation (1342A>C), which was associated with breast cancer and ovarian cancer. BRCA1 (3326A>T) and BRCA2 (1342A>C) mutations were co-existing in patients (II1, II3, and II5) identified as serous adenocarcinoma grade II. Two cases of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma with no history of family tumors were normalized for BRCA1/2 gene sequencing. In the gene detection of III generation female, four females with BRCA2 (1342A>C) mutation were found, and one of them also carried the BRCA1 (3326A>T) mutation, who can be considered a high-risk group of HOC in this family. Online protein structure predictions revealed that BRCA1 (3326A>T) mutations mutated AGA at this site to TGA resulting in a translated Arg (arginine) mutation as a stop codon, while BRCA2 (1342A>C) mutated AAT at this site to CAT resulting in a translated Asn mutation to His. CONCLUSION The BRCA1 (3326A>T) and BRCA2 (1342A>C) were detected in the HOC family, which may be the susceptibility gene of the family's HOC. The BRCA1/2 gene screening may be possible to obtain high-risk populations in this family.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the top cause of cancer mortality among women in the world and the second in Africa. The aims of this study were to: i) identify women with breast nodules suspected of having breast cancer ii) sequence the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and iii) screen mutations. From 2015 to 2016, 112 women aged from 35 to 44 years, who had come for consultation in the gynecology/obstetrics and the oncology department of the University Hospital Yalgado Ouedraogo, voluntarily agreed to participate to this study. Whole blood was collected from those with mammary nodules. The genomic DNA was extracted using Qiagen kit. FAST KAPA was used for genomic DNA amplification and the purified PCR products were analyzed by direct sequencing using Big Dye v1.1 and ABI 3730 automated sequencer. Nucleotides substitutions were determined. We identified BRCA1 SNPs rs1799966, rs799917, rs16942, rs16941, rs2227945, and BRCA2 SNPs rs169547, rs4986860. These identified variants are found mostly in cases of benign tumors of breast or ovarian cancer with familial history of breast cancer. This study in Burkina-Faso, is the basis for improved and more specific genetic testing, and suggests that additional genes contributing to an increased risk of breast cancer should be analyzed.

Novel Associations between BRCA1 Variants C.181 T>G (Rs28897672) and Ovarian Crisk in Saudi Females. J Med Biochem 2019; 38:13-21. [PMID: 30820179 PMCID: PMC6298454 DOI: 10.2478/jomb-2018-0037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2017] [Accepted: 01/11/2018] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in BRCA1 gene have been implicated in ovarian cancers, and BRCA testing may be conducted in high-risk women. This study was designed to determine the frequency of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) variants in BRCA1 gene and BRCA1 expression in Saudi females with ovarian cancer. METHODS Expression levels of mRNA of BRCA1 gene were studied in 10 ovarian cancer and 10 normal ovarian tissues, by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The study also included 28 females who had suffered from ovarian cancer and had been successfully operated upon and 90 healthy females with no history of cancer. Blood was drawn in EDTA tubes and used for extraction of DNA. The genotyping was carried out using Taqman® SNP Genotyping kit by RT-PCR. The variants investigated included c.871 T>C (rs799917), c.1040 G>A (rs4986852), c.181 T>G (rs28897672) in BRCA1 gene. RESULTS The c.181 T>G (rs28897672) showed significantly different genotype and allele frequencies between the patients and the control subjects (p value = 0.002 and 0.02, respectively). The genotype TG was significantly protective (OR = 0.36, p value = 0.024). The mRNA expression of BRCA1 gene was found to be low in the ovarian cancer tissues. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that c.181 T>G in BRCA1 genes is associated with the development of ovarian cancer in Saudis. More studies are needed to unveil other SNPs that may be associated with ovarian cancer and to understand the mechanism(s) involved in reducing the expression of BRCA1 gene in ovarian cancer tissues.

Abstract
Many studies have reported that BRCA1 polymorphisms are associated with cancer risk, but the results remain controversial. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the relationship between BRCA1 polymorphisms (rs799917, rs1799950, rs1799966, or rs16941) and cancer risk. Relevant studies were identified via a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to July 31, 2017. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to examine the strength of the associations. Thirty-five studies published in 19 publications involving 28,094 cases and 50,657 controls were included in this meta-analysis. There was no obvious association between rs799917, rs1799966, or rs16941 polymorphisms and overall cancer risk in any genetic models. However, subgroup analyses revealed that the rs799917 polymorphism could decrease the risk of cervical cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), gastric cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) among Asian populations in one or more genetic models and that rs16941 could increase overall cancer risk among Caucasian populations in the homozygote and recessive models. Our meta-analysis also indicated that rs1799950 could decrease the breast cancer (BC) risk among Caucasian populations in the homozygote and recessive models. In summary, our results suggest that BRCA1 polymorphisms may play an important role in the etiology of cancer. However, due to the limited number of studies, these findings should be confirmed by new studies with larger sample sizes that address various types of cancer.

Abstract
Gas station workers are exposed to chemicals known to be carcinogenic, especially benzene. The objective was to analyze the health problems of female gas station workers by means of sociodemographic and clinical questionnaires, and laboratorial exams. We performed the genotyping of the polymorphisms BRCA1/P871L and BRCA1/Q356R by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, and of variant allele BRCA2/N372H through direct sequencing. The female workers showed a higher concentration of monocytes (P = 0.039); a greater number of spontaneous abortions (P = 0.025, OR = 4.977, 95% CI = 1.135-30.669); higher tobacco consumption (P = 0.013); and higher alcohol consumption (P = 0.05). The statistical analysis of the polymorphisms associated with the variables monocyte concentration and miscarriage number did not reveal a significant relationship, and smoking and spontaneous abortion were not statistically associated either.

Abstract
Breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene makes great contributions to the repair of DNA. The association between BRCA1 P871L polymorphism and cancer risk has been investigated in a growing number of studies, but the conclusions are not conclusive. To obtain a comprehensive conclusion, we performed a meta-analysis of 24 studies with 13762 cases and 22388 controls. The pooled results indicated that BRCA1 gene P871L variant decreased risk of overall cancer (homozygous model: odds ratio (OR) = 0.89, 95%confidence interval (CI) = 0.79-1.00; recessive model: OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.80-0.99). The stratified analysis observed decreased risk associated with BRCA1 P871L in subgroups among Asians and high score studies, but not Caucasians or low score studies. In conclusion, despite several limitations, this meta-analysis suggested that BRCA1 P871L genetic variation may be associated with decreased susceptibility to cancer.

Abstract
BRCA1-associated RING domain protein 1 (BARD1) is a tumor suppressor, which forms a heterodimer with BRCA1. Three BARD1 gene polymorphisms (rs7585356 G>A, rs6435862 T>G and rs3768716 A>G) were initially identified as high-risk neuroblastoma susceptibility loci by a previous GWAS. Because of the general tumor-suppressing function of BARD1, we hypothesized that these BARD1 gene polymorphisms might modify the susceptibility to nephroblastoma. We genotyped these polymorphisms in 145 cases and 531 controls using Taqman methods. Out of three polymorphisms, only the rs7585356 G>A polymorphism was significantly associated with increased susceptibility to nephroblastoma [AA vs. GG: adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.01-3.12]. Combined analysis of three polymorphisms indicated that subjects with 3 risk genotypes exhibited significantly elevated nephroblastoma risk, when compared with subjects with 0-2 risk genotypes (adjusted OR=1.72, 95% CI=1.02-2.89). Stratified analysis revealed that in term of clinical stage, rs7585356 AA carriers were associated with increased risk of developing clinical stage I+II nephroblastoma. The presence of three risk genotypes was significantly associated with nephroblastoma risk in females and clinical stage I+II nephroblastoma. Our results suggested that BARD1 rs7585356 G>A may be associated with nephroblastoma risk.

Role of WDHD1 in Human Papillomavirus-Mediated Oncogenesis Identified by Transcriptional Profiling of E7-Expressing Cells. J Virol 2016; 90:6071-6084. [PMID: 27099318 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.00513-16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2016] [Accepted: 04/16/2016] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
UNLABELLED The E7 oncoprotein of the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a major role in HPV-induced carcinogenesis. E7 abrogates the G1 cell cycle checkpoint and induces genomic instability, but the mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to characterize the transcriptional profile of keratinocytes expressing HPV 16 (HPV-16) E7. At the transcriptome level, 236 genes were differentially expressed between E7 and vector control cells. A subset of the differentially expressed genes, most of them novel to E7-expressing cells, was further confirmed by real-time PCR. Of interest, the activities of multiple transcription factors were altered in E7-expressing cells. Through bioinformatics analysis, pathways altered in E7-expressing cells were investigated. The upregulated genes were enriched in cell cycle and DNA replication, as well as in the DNA metabolic process, transcription, DNA damage, DNA repair, and nucleotide metabolism. Specifically, we focused our studies on the gene encoding WDHD1 (WD repeat and high mobility group [HMG]-box DNA-binding protein), one of the genes that was upregulated in E7-expressing cells. WDHD1 is a component of the replisome that regulates DNA replication. Recent studies suggest that WDHD1 may also function as a DNA replication initiation factor as well as a G1 checkpoint regulator. We found that in E7-expressing cells, the steady-state level of WDHD1 protein was increased along with the half-life. Moreover, downregulation of WDHD1 reduced E7-induced G1 checkpoint abrogation and rereplication, demonstrating a novel function for WDHD1. These studies shed light on mechanisms by which HPV induces genomic instability and have therapeutic implications. IMPORTANCE The high-risk HPV types induce cervical cancer and encode an E7 oncoprotein that plays a major role in HPV-induced carcinogenesis. However, the mechanism by which E7 induces carcinogenesis is not fully understood; specific anti-HPV agents are not available. In this study, we performed RNA-seq to characterize transcriptional profiling of keratinocytes expressing HPV-16 E7 and identified more than 200 genes that were differentially expressed between E7 and vector control cells. Through bioinformatics analysis, pathways altered in E7-expressing cells were identified. Significantly, the WDHD1 gene, one of the genes that is upregulated in E7-expressing cells, was found to play an important role in E7-induced G1 checkpoint abrogation and rereplication. These studies shed light on mechanisms by which HPV induces genomic instability and have therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Telomere shortening has been suggested to be a genetic predictor for various cancers. However, evidences about this point with respect to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Han Chinese populations remain limited. Our previous study demonstrated that p53 Arg72Pro polymorphism was associated with the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related ESCC. Telomeres and p53 play important roles in maintaining genomic stability and regulating the cell cycle. HPV impacts both telomere length stabilization and p53 degradation. Given the roles of the three factors, we evaluated leukocyte telomere length, p53 variants and HPV-16 serology to examine the potential associations between them and ESCC risk in a case-control study with 308 patients and 309 cancer-free controls matched by age and sex. Compared with long telomere length, short telomere length was significantly associated with an increased risk of ESCC (adjusted OR 2.01; 95% CI 1.41-2.80). Moreover, this association was enhanced when combined with HPV-16 seropositivity and p53 Arg/Arg or Arg/Pro genotypes. Notably, individuals with short telomere length, Arg/Pro or Arg/Arg genotypes and HPV-16 seropositivity had a 12.08-fold (95% CI 5.49-26.56) increased risk of ESCC compared to those with none of the three investigated risk factors. Taken together, these results indicate that short telomere length in peripheral blood leukocytes is a biomarker for ESCC risk, and has statistically additive effects with p53 variants and HPV seropositivity with regard to the risk of ESCC in a Han Chinese population.

Abstract
Studies investigating the association between the BRCA1 rs799917 polymorphism and breast cancer risk have reported controversial results. In order to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis. A total of 8 articles comprising 19,878 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by Stata 11 software. Heterogeneity tests were conducted by Q test with I(2) value, and publication bias assessment was performed by Begg's funnel plot and Egger's test. The pooled results did not show any sufficient evidence approving the association between the BRCA1 rs799917 polymorphism and breast cancer risk in total population (T vs C: OR=1.01, 95% CI=0.97-1.06; TT vs CC: OR=1.03, 95% CI=0.93-1.13; CT vs CC: OR=1.04, 95% CI=0.92-1.16; TT+CT vs CC: OR=1.04, 95% CI=0.94-1.15; TT vs CT+CC: OR=1.03, 95% CI=0.94-1.12). In the further subgroup analyses, no significant associations were found in any comparison models according to ethnicity and source of controls. No publication bias was observed in this meta-analysis. In summary, based on the overall results, this meta-analysis strongly suggests that the BRCA1 rs799917 polymorphism is not associated with breast cancer risk.

Abstract
Epidemiological and laboratory-based studies have identified infection with one of 15 high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types as a necessary but not sufficient cause of cervical cancer. The prevalence of genital HPV infections is high in young women, but most of the infections regress without interventions. Host genetic variations in genes involved in immune response pathways may be related to HPV clearance, and HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins interacting or downstream genes, both coding and non-coding, may contribute to the outcome of high risk HPV infection and cervical cancer. Of specific interest for this review has been the selection of genetic variants in genes involved in the above-referred pathways with a summary of their applications in association studies. Because the supportive and opposing data have been reported in different populations, well-designed international collaborative studies need to be conducted to define the consistency of the associations, paving the way to better define the patients at high risk of developing cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The BARD1 gene encodes for the BRCA1-associated RING domain (BARD1) protein. Germ line and somatic mutations in BARD1 are found in sporadic breast, ovarian and uterine cancers. There is a plethora of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which may or may not be involved in the onset of female cancers. Hence, before planning a larger population study, it is advisable to sort out the possible functional SNPs. To accomplish this goal, data available in the dbSNP database and different computer programs can be used. To the best of our knowledge, until now there has been no such study on record for the BARD1 gene. Therefore, this study was undertaken to find the functional nsSNPs in BARD1. RESULT 2.85% of all SNPs in the dbSNP database were present in the coding regions. SIFT predicted 11 out of 50 nsSNPs as not tolerable and PolyPhen assessed 27 out of 50 nsSNPs as damaging. FastSNP revealed that the rs58253676 SNP in the 3' UTR may have splicing regulator and enhancer functions. In the 5' UTR, rs17489363 and rs17426219 may alter the transcriptional binding site. The intronic region SNP rs67822872 may have a medium-high risk level. The protein structures 1JM7, 3C5R and 2NTE were predicted by PDBSum and shared 100% similarity with the BARD1 amino acid sequence. Among the predicted nsSNPs, rs4986841, rs111367604, rs13389423 and rs139785364 were identified as deleterious and damaging by the SIFT and PolyPhen programs. Additionally, I-Mutant showed a decrease in stability for these nsSNPs upon mutation. Finally, the ExPASy-PROSIT program revealed that the predicted deleterious mutations are contained in the ankyrin ring and BRCT domains. CONCLUSION Using the available bioinformatics tools and the data present in the dbSNP database, the four nsSNPs, rs4986841, rs111367604, rs13389423 and rs139785364, were identified as deleterious, reducing the protein stability of BARD1. Hence, these SNPs can be used for the larger population-based studies of female cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) is a vital DNA repair gene, and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of this gene have been studied in diverse cancer types. In this study, we investigated the association between eight common BRCA1 functional SNPs and the risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). METHODS This cancer center-based case-control study included 303 DTC cases and 511 controls. A polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism assay was performed for genotyping. Unconditional logistical regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in single-SNP analysis and haplotype analysis. RESULTS A decreased risk of DTC was found for the A1988G heterozygous AG genotype (adjusted OR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.45-0.87, Bonferroni-adjusted p-value=0.036). AATAATA and ATAA haplotypes that carry C33420T variant allele were associated with reduced papillary thyroid cancer risk (adjusted OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.33-0.84; adjusted OR=0.62, 95% CI: 0.40-0.95, respectively). Also, having a combination of ≥3 favorable genotypes was associated with a DTC risk reduction (adjusted OR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.50-0.95). The A31875G AG/GG genotype was associated with a 69% reduced risk of multifocal primary tumor in DTC patients (adjusted OR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.12-0.81). CONCLUSION BRCA1 genetic polymorphisms may play a role in DTC risk, while the possible associations warrant confirmation in independent studies.

Polymorphisms involved in the miR-218-LAMB3 pathway and susceptibility of cervical cancer, a case-control study in Chinese women. Gynecol Oncol 2010; 117:287-90. [PMID: 20163849 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2010.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2009] [Revised: 01/06/2010] [Accepted: 01/09/2010] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Laminin-5 is required in RAS and NF-kappaB blockade induced tumorigenesis of human squamous cell carcinoma and a marker of invasiveness in cervical lesions. MicroRNA-218 (miR-218) can target laminin-5 beta3 (LAMB3), but suppressed by HPV-16 E6 protein. Therefore, we hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pri-miR-218 and LAMB3 may individually and/or jointly contribute to cervical cancer carcinogenesis. METHODS We identified one SNP rs11134527 located in pri-miR-218 sequence and one SNP rs2566 in 3'UTR of LAMB3 and genotyped these two SNPs in a case-control study of 703 cervical cancer cases and 713 cancer-free controls in Chinese women. RESULTS Logistic regression analyses showed that the pri-miR-218 rs11134527 variant homozygote GG was associated with a decreased risk of cervical cancer compared with the AA genotype (adjusted OR=0.72, 95% CI=0.52-0.99), while the LAMB3 rs2566 variant CT/TT genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of cervical cancer (adjusted OR=1.57, 95% CI=1.25-1.96), compared with the wild type CC genotype. A significant dose-response effect was observed between the number of risk alleles, rs11134527A and rs2566 T, and the risk of cervical cancer (P for trend=0.0006). CONCLUSION These findings indicate that pri-miR-218 rs11134527 and LAMB3 rs2566 may contribute to cervical cancer carcinogenesis, and further validations in diverse populations and functional characterizations are warranted.
