Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the fourth most common gynecological malignancies and has been identified as the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded sequences of noncoding RNAs that are approximately 22-24 nucleotides in length. They modulate posttranscriptional mRNA expression and play critical roles in cervical cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes may alter miRNA expression and maturation and have been associated with various cancers. This review mainly focuses on the roles of SNPs in miRNA genes in the development of cervical cancer and summarizes the research progress of miRNA SNPs in cervical cancer and their molecular regulation mechanisms.

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 Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a rare congenital gastrointestinal disease characterized by the absence of intestinal submucosal and myometrial ganglion cells. Recently, researches indicated that miR-100 regulated the growth, differentiation and apoptosis of neurons, and affected the functions of HSCR-associated pathways. While miR-100 rs1834306 A>G polymorphism was shown to modify the susceptibility to tumors, the association between this polymorphism and HSCR susceptibility is still unknown. Methods This was a case-control study consisting of 1470 HSCR cases and 1473 controls from southern China. DNA was genotyped by TaqMan real-time PCR. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used as statistical indicators. Results We found that miR-100 rs1834306 G allele and GG genotype significantly increased HSCR susceptibility (GG vs AA: adjusted OR=1.31, 95% CI=1.04-1.64, P=0.020; G vs A: adjusted OR=1.12, 95% CI=1.01-1.25, P=0.041; GG vs AA/AG: adjusted OR=1.30, 95% CI=1.07-1.59, P=0.010). In the stratified analysis, miR-100 rs1834306 GG genotype carriers had higher risk to develop HSCR in all clinical subtypes when compared with those with AA/AG genotypes, and OR was rising with HSCR aggravation (SHSCR: adjusted OR=1.28, 95% CI=1.03-1.59, P=0.029; LHSCR: adjusted OR=1.48, 95% CI=1.06-2.07, P=0.020; TCA: adjusted OR=2.12, 95% CI=1.22-3.69, P=0.008). Conclusion Our findings suggested that miR-100 rs1834306 A>G polymorphism was associated with increased HSCR susceptibility in southern Chinese children. Furthermore, miR-100 rs1834306 GG genotype had a greater genetic pathopoiesis in severe HSCR.

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.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are known to have a high incidence worldwide and require an early diagnosis to successfully treat them, providing higher survival rates and better quality of life for the patients. MicroRNA-27a is a well-known oncogene that plays a significant role in various GI cancers. It is known to upregulate the expression of numerous oncogenes leading to cancer progression. The miR-27a harbors two polymorphisms rs895819 and rs11671784 which alter the disease susceptibility by interfering with the maturation and expression of miR-27a. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the role played by these polymorphisms in cancers of the GI tract. We conducted a case-control study with 210 GI cancer cases and 210 cancer-free controls to analyze the effect of these polymorphisms. The rs895819 polymorphism was genotyped using PCR-RFLP, and rs11671784 was genotyped on a MassARRAY platform. The association analysis failed to bring out any significant association of the polymorphisms with GI cancer risk. However, genotype-phenotype interaction analysis revealed that the rs895819 was found to increase the risk GI cancers along with the presence of risk factors such as socioeconomic status, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, alcohol consumption, and tobacco chewing.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer among females. Polymorphisms in pre-microRNAs have been demonstrated to play critical roles in cancer. However, the roles of pre-microRNA polymorphisms in the aetiology of cervical cancer have not been well documented. We genotyped eight pre-microRNA polymorphisms in 290 cervical cancer patients and 445 cancer-free female controls using quantitative polymerase chain reaction with TaqMan probes. To estimate the association between pre-microRNA polymorphisms and the risk of cervical cancer, an unconditional logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), adjusting for age, menopause, delivery, and abortion. We found that the pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > G polymorphism was associated with a significant decrease in cervical cancer risk (TG/GG versus TT: adjusted OR (AOR) = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.27-0.81; TG versus TT: AOR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.34-0.91). We also observed a significant association between the pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphism and decreased cervical cancer risk (TC/CC versus TT: AOR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.44-0.96). Stratified analysis further demonstrated that the pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > C and pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphisms significantly reduced the risk of cervical cancer susceptibility in patients younger than 49 years, those who experienced fewer abortions, and clinical stage I patients. Moreover, the pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > G polymorphism showed protective effects in premenopausal women, squamous cell carcinoma patients, and patients with unclassified types of pathologies; the pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphism was also associated with a decreased risk in patients older than 49 years, menopausal women, and women who had experienced vaginal pregnancies. The pre-miR-137 rs1625579 T > G and pre-miR-27a rs895819 T > C polymorphisms may provide protective effects against susceptibility to cervical cancer risk.

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 Recently, several studies have investigated the relationship between Pre‐miR‐27a rs895819 polymorphism and risk of various cancers. However, the relationship between rs895819 and diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has not been well known. Methods In this study, we conducted a case‐control study to explore the role of Pre‐miR‐27a rs895819 in risk of DLBCL. The PCR‐TaqMan and luciferase assays and in vitro experiments were used to evaluate polymorphism function. Results As a result, we found subjects carrying with rs895819 AG/GG genotype had a significantly decreased risk when compared with those carrying the AA genotype. Further qPCR assay showed that the DLBCL patients carrying AG/GG genotypes showed a lower level of mature miR‐27a when compared with patients carrying AA genotype. Moreover, miR‐27a levels were upregulated in DLBCL tissues compared with normal lymphoid tissues. Further in vitro experiments showed that miR‐27a might function as an oncogene through target TGFBR1. In addition, TGFBR1 overexpression rescues effects of miR‐27a inhibitor on DLBCL cells phenotypes. Conclusions In conclusion, these findings indicate that rs895819 A > G might reduce the expression of mature miR‐27a, and leading a higher level of TGFBR1, ultimately inhibiting the development of DLBCL.

[PMID: 31615040 PMCID: PMC6834313 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20205088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 10/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Breast (BCa) and gynecological (GCa) cancers constitute a group of female neoplasms that has a worldwide significant contribution to cancer morbidity and mortality. Evidence suggests that polymorphisms influencing miRNA function can provide useful information towards predicting the risk of female neoplasms. Inconsistent findings in the literature should be detected and resolved to facilitate the genetic screening of miRNA polymorphisms, even during childhood or adolescence, and their use as predictors of future malignancies. This study represents a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between miRNA polymorphisms and the risk of female neoplasms. Meta-analysis was performed by pooling odds-ratios (ORs) and generalized ORs while using a random-effects model for 15 miRNA polymorphisms. The results suggest that miR-146a rs2910164 is implicated in the susceptibility to GCa. Moreover, miR-196a2 rs11614913-T had a moderate protective effect against female neoplasms, especially GCa, in Asians but not in Caucasians. MiR-27a rs895819-G might pose a protective effect against BCa among Caucasians. MiR-499 rs3746444-C may slightly increase the risk of female neoplasms, especially BCa. MiR-124 rs531564-G may be associated with a lower risk of female neoplasms. The current evidences do not support the association of the remaining polymorphisms and the risk of female neoplasms.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, time sequencing, conserved and small non-coding RNA molecules (19-25 bp long) that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level by binding to the partial sequence homology of the 3'-untranslated region of target messenger (m)RNA. The miRNA-27 family consists of miR-27a and miR-27b, which are transcribed from different chromosomes and different in nucleotide at the 3' end. It has been reported that miR-27a was located on chromosome 19 and played a vital role in tumor development. Increasing evidences support a vital role for miR-27a in modulating polymorphisms, tumorigenesis, proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration and angiogenesis. Apart from it, miR-27a could affect drug sensitivity, treatment of cancer and patients prognosis. The miR-27a could be an oncogene or a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer, including colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, we discuss the role of miR-27a in tumor biology and clinical significance in detail and offer novel insights into molecular targeting therapy for human cancers.

Abstract
In the past several years, competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) have emerged as a potential class of post-transcriptional regulators that alter gene expression through a microRNA (miRNA)-mediated mechanism. An increasing number of studies have found that ceRNAs play important roles in tumorigenesis. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in female malignancies. Despite advances in our understanding of this neoplasm, patients with advanced cervical cancer still have poor prognosis. There is an urgent need to provide a new insight on the mechanism of cervical cancer development and may be acted as new anticancer therapeutic strategies. Here, we review the ceRNA studies and coherent researches in cervical cancer, especially in long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and miRNAs in order to broaden horizons into mechanisms, selection biomarkers for diagnosis as well as predicting prognosis, and targeting treatment for cervical cancer in the future.

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 noncoding small RNAs which regulate gene expression through post-transcriptional repression or degradation of messenger RNA. They play very important roles in various biological processes including growth, differentiation, and proliferation, as well as apoptosis, angiogenesis, and metabolism. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the possible effect of functional rs7372209C/T polymorphism in the 5'- region of pri-miRNA- 26a1gene on preeclampsia(PE) susceptibility. This case-control study was conducted on 219 PE women and 204 unrelated healthy controls. The amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction method was used for rs7372209C/T genotyping. The pri-miRNA- 26a1 rs7372209CT genotype was associated with decreased PE risk (OR, 0.5 [95% CI, 0.3-0.8], P = 0.001). The frequency of rs7372209TT genotype did not differ between two groups. In addition, the pri-miRNA- 26a1 rs7372209 polymorphism was associated with lower risk of PE in dominant model (CT+TT vs CC) (OR, 0.5 [95% CI, 0.4-0.8], P = 0.002). Although there was no significant difference between mild and severe PE women according to rs7372209CT genotype, the differences between mild and severe PE groups with controls remained significant. The frequency of pri-miRNA-26a1 rs7372209CT genotype was not different between late-onset PE and early onset PE groups. The present study showed for the first time that the pri-miRNA- 26a1 rs7372209 polymorphism was associated with lower risk of mild and severe PE in the dominant model and this polymorphism could be a protective factor for PE susceptibility.

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
Objective The present study investigates the influence of genetic variants in miRNA machinery genes (DROSHA, DICER, AGO1, and GEMIN4) on gastric cancer in Chinese Han population, further revealing the genetic mechanisms of gastric cancer occurrence and development. Methods Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was performed in 628 patients with GC and 502 frequency-matched (age and gender) controls by the high resolution melting (HRM) method. Results The SNPs rs3742330 (DICER) and rs7813 (GEMIN4) were associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer (P = 0.002 and 0.010, respectively). Stratified analysis showed that the G allele of rs3742330 and genotype TT as well as T allele of rs7813 were associated with a later stage of gastric cancer (P=0.027, 0.032 and 0.018, respectively). Furthermore, the genotype TT and T allele of rs7813 appeared to be associated with a higher level of lymphatic metastasis of gastric cancer (P=0.021 and 0.030, respectively), while the genotype AA and A allele of rs636832 (AGO1) were correlated with a lower level of lymphatic metastasis of gastric cancer (P=0.016 and 0.041, respectively). There was no significant association between rs10719 (DROSHA) and gastric cancer. Conclusion The present data demonstrated that genetic variants in miRNA machinery genes had a significant association with GC susceptibility (DICER and GEMIN4) and malignant behavior such as tumor stage (DICER and GEMIN4) and lymphatic metastasis of GC (GEMIN4 and AGO1) in Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Several studies have confirmed the crucial roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer occurrence. In addition, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes have been associated with various cancers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of SNPs in miRNA genes with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer in a Chinese Han population. We searched SNPs in nineteen miRNAs by sequencing healthy individuals (n=50). Then, a total of 400 patients with CIN, 609 patients with cervical cancer and 583 healthy individuals were recruited to genotype the SNPs using a Taqman assay. The results showed that only five of the nineteen miRNAs had SNPs (rs11134527 in pri-miR-218-2; rs74693964 in pri-miR-145; rs6062251 in pri-miR-133a2; rs531564 in pri-miR-124-1; and rs1834306 in pri-miR-100) in this Chinese Han population. The frequency of the rs11134527A allele was significantly higher in the control group than in CIN and cervical cancer groups (P=0.011 and 0.035, respectively). The frequency of the rs531564G allele was higher in the CIN and control groups than in the cervical cancer group (P=0.019 and 0.017, respectively). These results indicated that rs11134527 in pri-miR-218-2 and rs531564 in pri-miR-124-1 could be associated with CIN and cervical cancer in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated an association between the genetic variant in pre-miR-27a rs895819 with A->G transition and cancer risk; however, the results remain inconsistent and somehow conflicting in different cancers. Therefore, to obtain a more reliable conclusion, we performed an update meta-analysis by searching PubMed database or other databases. Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated to evaluate cancer risk. A total of 34 case-control studies involving 15,388 cases and 18,704 controls were included. The results showed that rs895819 was associated with an increased cancer risk (GG vs. AA/AG: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.02-1.29). Furthermore, stratification analyses revealed an association of rs895819 with increased cancer risk among Asians (GG vs. AA: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.01-1.36; GG vs. AA/AG: OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.03-1.35), but not Caucasians. Interestingly, the [G] allele of rs895819 was significantly associated with decreased risk of breast cancer (G vs. A: OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.86-0.97). However, rs895819 was associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer (GG vs. AA: OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.31-1.85; GG vs. AA/AG: OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.30-1.79; G vs. A: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.09-1.30) and lung cancer (GG vs. AA/AG: OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.00-2.04). In addition, no association was found between rs895819 and risk of gastric cancer or esophageal cancer. In conclusion, our findings suggest distinct effects of rs895819 on risk of different cancers, and future well-designed studies with large samples are required to further validate our results.

Abstract
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignancies affecting women worldwide. While the morbidity and mortality associated with CC are decreasing in western countries, they both remain high in developing countries. Unfortunately, many issues about molecular mechanisms of CC are not clear yet. miRNAs are a group of small noncoding RNAs that could post-transcriptionally modulate the expression of specific genes and participate in the initiation and progression of multiple diseases including CC. In the last decade, mounting evidences suggest an association between miRNAs and human papillomavirus infection, as well as variations in biologic behavior, treatment response and prognosis in CC. Herein, we highlight the latest findings in this area and the potential applications.

Association between microRNA-27a rs895819 polymorphism and risk of colorectal cancer: A meta-analysis. Cancer Genet 2016; 209:388-394. [PMID: 27751356 DOI: 10.1016/j.cancergen.2016.08.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2016] [Revised: 07/01/2016] [Accepted: 08/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common malignancy in the human digestive system. Previous results regarding the association between microRNA-27a rs895819 polymorphisms and CRC risk are controversial. We therefore performed a meta-analysis of seven studies totaling 2230 cases and 2775 controls to systematically evaluate this association. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained using a fixed-effects model. A moderate evidence for the association between mir-27a polymorphism and CRC risk was found under multiple genetic models (dominant model: OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.02-1.29, p = 0.02; recessive model: OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.27-1.76, p <0.001; homozygote model: OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.28-1.83, p <0.001; allele model: OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.11-1.31, p <0.001). Subgroup analysis showed a significant association between mir-27a rs895819 polymorphism and CRC risk among Chinese populations. On the contrary, we found no evidence of association among Caucasian populations due to small samples (p > 0.05). In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that rs895819 polymorphism in mir-27a may be a potential genetic risk factor for CRC, particularly in Chinese populations.

Abstract
MicroRNA-27a (miR-27a) is deemed to be an oncogene that plays an important role in development of various cancers, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of miR-27a can influence the maturation or aberrant expression of hsa-miR27a, resulting in increased risk of cancer and poor prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to assess the effects of rs895819 within miR-27a on susceptibility and prognosis of NSCLC patients in 560 clinical confirmed cases and 568 healthy check-up individuals. Adjusted odds/hazard ratios (ORs/HRs) and 95% confidential intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the association between rs895819 and the risk and prognosis of NSCLC. The results showed that allele A and genotype GG of rs895819 were significantly associated with an increased risk of NSCLC (38.9% vs 30.8%, adjusted OR=1.26, 95%CI=1.23-1.29 for allele G vs A; 18.1% vs 11.7%, adjusted OR=1.67, 95%CI=1.59-1.75 for genotype GG vs AA). Moreover, positive associations were also observed in dominant and recessive models (53.7% vs 49.9%, adjusted OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.13-1.20 for GG/AG vs AA; 18.1% vs 11.7%, adjusted=1.65, 95%CI=1.58-1.73). However, no significant association was found between rs895819 and the prognosis of NSCLC in genotype, dominant and recessive models. These results suggested that miR-27a might be involved in NSCLC carcinogenesis, but not in progression of NSCLC. The allele G, genotype GG and allele G carrier (GG/AG vs AA) of rs895819 might be genetic susceptible factors for NSCLC. Further multi-central, large sample size and well-designed prospective studies as well as functional studies are warranted to verify our findings.

Abstract
MicroRNA-27a (miR-27a) is deemed as an oncogene in malignancies including colorectal cancer (CRC), and rs895819 within pre-miR-27a may affect its secondary structure, leading to its aberrant expression and dysfunction of its targeted gene. We investigated genotype and allele frequencies of the locus in 412 I–III stage CRC cases and 412 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals to explore the possible association between them in the north of Chinese population. The results showed that frequencies of alleles A and G and genotypes GG, AG, and AA of the locus were 65.7%, 34.3%, 17.0%, 34.7%, and 48.3% in cases and 69.9%, 30.1%, 9.9%, 40.2%, and 49.8% in controls, respectively. GG genotype of the locus was positively associated with an increased risk of CRC in codominant (P=0.01, adjusted odds ratio =1.541, 95% confidence interval =1.110–2.239 for genotype GG vs AA) and recessive (P=0.003, adjusted odds ratio =1.855, 95% confidence interval =1.221–2.786 for genotype GG vs AA/GA) models, indicating that GG genotype of the locus might increase susceptibility to CRC. Moreover, genotypes AG and GG and allele G were significantly associated with III stage (P<0.001, P<0.001, and P=0.001, respectively), suggesting that the locus was associated with the progression of CRC. These results suggested that rs895819 within pre-miR-27a was involved in colorectal carcinogenesis and progression, genotype GG of the locus might be a susceptible factor for CRC, and allele G and allele G carrier (genotypes AG and GG) could predict CRC progression in north Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the second cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Interleukin (IL)-16 has a vital role in the development and homeostasis of the immune system. In the present study, we evaluated an exon variant rs4072111 C/T polymorphism and 3' UTR variant rs1131445 C/T within the miRNA binding with gastric cancer susceptibility in Iranian population. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples according to phenol chloroform extraction. The genotypes of IL-16 polymorphisms rs1131445 T/C and rs4072111 T/C were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. In this case control study, a total of 256 patients with gastric cancer (238 cases (92.9 %) non-cardia and 18 cases (7.1 %) cardia) and 300 healthy control subjects were evaluated. In the present study, we found a significant association between rs4072111 of IL-16 gene and risk of GC in Iranian population. Individuals with CT genotype showed a significant association with 1.79-fold increased risk of GC (P = 0.008; adjusted OR 1.792; 95 % CI 1.164-2.759). The significant association was also detected for T allele of rs4072111 and increased risk of GC (P < 0.001; adjusted OR 1.981; 95 % CI 1.354-2.900). We also observed statistically a significant relationship between rs1131445 of IL-16 CT genotype and GC risk. Carriers of IL-16 CT genotype compared with TT genotype had 1.44 times higher increased likelihood of GC (P = 0.048; adjusted OR 1.445; 95 % CI 1.003-2.084). After stratification according to gender, we observed that in rs1131445, CT and CC male carriers had a higher risk of GC than females (P = 0.08; adjusted OR 1.608; 95 % CI 0.945-2.737 and P = 0.08; adjusted OR 2.186; 95 % CI 0.897-5.325, respectively). We also observed that for male carriers with C allele in rs1131445, there was a 1.53-fold higher risk of GC risk than female subjects (P = 0.029; adjusted OR 1.53; 95 % CI 1.04.4-2.248). We found that the rs1131445 T/C and rs4072111 T/C variants of IL-16 were significantly associated with increased risk of GC in Iranian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA-27a (miR-27a) is supposed to be an oncogene in various types of cancers, and genetic variation of miR-27a might result in aberrant expression and abnormal second structure of mature-miR-27a, contributing to elevated genetic risk and poor prognosis for colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS In order to explore the possible association between rs895819 within miR-27a and CRC in Han Chinese population, we investigated the genotype distributions of rs895819 in 508 CRC cases and 562 healthy check-up controls using TaqMan genotype discrimination system, and analyzed the possible association between them. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidential interval (95% CI) were used to assess the strength between allele and genotype of the locus and risk of CRC. RESULTS In our study, we found that genotype GG of rs895819 was significantly associated with an increased risk for CRC (17.1% vs. 11.6%, adjusted OR = 1.546, 95% CI = 1.070-2.236), and allele A carrier (AA/AG) was significantly associated with a decreased risk for CRC (82.9% vs. 89.4%, adjusted OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.446-0.893). In addition, a significant association was observed between genotype GG and larger tumor size (>5 cm; P < 0.001), and allele G was significantly associated with higher pathological stage (TNM-III) (P = 0.008). CONCLUSION These results indicated that miR-27a might be involved in the development and progression of CRC, genotype GG within rs895819 might be a genetic susceptible factor for CRC. Further multicentral, large sample size, and well-designed epidemiological study as well as functional study are warrant to verify our findings.

Abstract
Background Hypercholesterolemia arising from abnormal lipid metabolism is one of the critical risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), however the roles of genetic variants in lipid metabolism-related genes on premature CAD (≤60 years old) development still require further investigation. We herein genotyped four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lipid metabolism-related genes (rs1132899 and rs5167 in APOC4, rs1801693 and rs7765781 in LPA), aimed to shed light on the influence of these SNPs on individual susceptibility to early-onset CAD. Methods Genotyping of the four SNPs (rs1132899, rs5167, rs1801693 and rs7765781) was performed in 224 premature CAD cases and 297 control subjects (≤60 years old) using polymerase chain reaction-ligation detection reaction (PCR–LDR) method. The association of these SNPs with premature CAD was performed with SPSS software. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that C allele (OR = 1.50, P = 0.027) and CC genotype (OR = 2.84, P = 0.022) of APOC4 rs1132899 were associated with increased premature CAD risk, while the other three SNPs had no significant effect. Further stratified analysis uncovered a more evident association with the risk of premature CAD among male subjects (C allele, OR = 1.65, and CC genotype, OR = 3.33). Conclusions Our data provides the first evidence that APOC4 rs1132899 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of premature CAD in Chinese subjects, and the association was more significant among male subjects.

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
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that represent the top of the pyramid of many tumorigenesis cascade pathways as they have the ability to affect multiple, intricate, and still undiscovered downstream targets. Understanding how miRNA molecules serve as master regulators in these important networks involved in cancer initiation and progression open up significant innovative areas for therapy and diagnosis that have been sadly lacking for deadly female reproductive tract cancers. This review will highlight the recent advances in the field of miRNAs in epithelial ovarian cancer, endometrioid endometrial cancer and squamous-cell cervical carcinoma focusing on studies associated with actual clinical information in humans. Importantly, recent miRNA profiling studies have included well-characterized clinical specimens of female reproductive tract cancers, allowing for studies correlating miRNA expression with clinical outcomes. This review will summarize the current thoughts on the role of miRNA processing in unique miRNA species present in these cancers. In addition, this review will focus on current data regarding miRNA molecules as unique biomarkers associated with clinically significant outcomes such as overall survival and chemotherapy resistance. We will also discuss why specific miRNA molecules are not recapitulated across multiple studies of the same cancer type. Although the mechanistic contributions of miRNA molecules to these clinical phenomena have been confirmed using in vitro and pre-clinical mouse model systems, these studies are truly only the beginning of our understanding of the roles miRNAs play in cancers of the female reproductive tract. This review will also highlight useful areas for future research regarding miRNAs as therapeutic targets in cancers of the female reproductive tract.

Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pri- or pre-microRNAs (miRNAs) were found to be associated with gastric cancer risk. The aim of this study was to systematically review with update meta-analysis for the association of miRNA SNPs with gastric cancer risk. We systematically reviewed a total of 31 SNPs in the precursor genes of 29 miRNAs associated with overall cancer risk. Meanwhile, 13 case-control studies with a total of 9044 gastric cancer cases and 11,762 controls were included in a meta-analysis of five highly studied pre-miRNA SNPs (miR-146a rs2910164, miR-196a2 rs11614913, miR-499 rs3746444, miR-149 rs2292832 and miR-27a rs895819). Our results show both the homozygous miR-27a rs895819 and the miR-149 rs2292832 heterozygote genotype were associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer when compared with wild type. In the stratified analysis, in some subgroup, heterozygous miR-146a rs2910164 was associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer; and the variant genotype of miR-196a-2 rs11614913 was associated with an increased risk. No association was found between miR-499 rs3746444 and gastric cancer risk. In summary, miR-27a rs895819 and miR-149 rs2292832 are of potential forewarning ability for gastric cancer risk.

Lipids Health Dis 2014; 13:94. [PMID: 24906453 PMCID: PMC4059096 DOI: 10.1186/1476-511x-13-94] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2014] [Accepted: 05/27/2014] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Abnormal lipids is one of the critical risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI), however the role of genetic variants in lipid metabolism-related genes on MI pathogenesis still requires further investigation. We herein genotyped three SNPs (LRP6 rs2302685, LDLRAP1 rs6687605, SOAT1 rs13306731) in lipid metabolism-related genes, aimed to shed light on the influence of these SNPs on individual susceptibility to MI. Methods Genotyping of the three SNPs (rs2302685, rs6687605 and rs13306731) was performed in 285 MI cases and 650 control subjects using polymerase chain reaction–ligation detection reaction (PCR–LDR) method. The association of these SNPs with MI and lipid profiles was performed with SPSS software. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that C allele (OR = 1.62, P = 0.039) and the combined CT/CC genotype (OR = 1.67, P = 0.035) of LRP6 rs2302685 were associated with increased MI risk, while the other two SNPs had no significant effect. Further stratified analysis uncovered a more evident association with MI risk among younger subjects (≤60 years old). Fascinatingly, CT/CC genotype of rs2302685 conferred increased LDL-C levels compared to TT genotype (3.0 mmol/L vs 2.72 mmol/L) in younger subjects. Conclusions Our data provides the first evidence that LRP6 rs2302685 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of MI in Chinese subjects, and the association is more evident among younger individuals, which probably due to the elevated LDL-C levels.
