Abstract
The incidence of thyroid cancer, one of the most common forms of endocrine cancer, is increasing rapidly worldwide in developed and developing countries. Various risk factors can increase susceptibility to thyroid cancer, but particular emphasis is put on the role of DNA repair genes, which have a significant impact on genome stability. Polymorphisms of these genes can increase the risk of developing thyroid cancer by affecting their function. In this article, we present a concise review on the most common polymorphisms of selected DNA repair genes that may influence the risk of thyroid cancer. We point out significant differences in the frequency of these polymorphisms between various populations and their potential relationship with susceptibility to the disease. A more complete understanding of these differences may lead to the development of effective prevention strategies and targeted therapies for thyroid cancer. Simultaneously, there is a need for further research on the role of polymorphisms of previously uninvestigated DNA repair genes in the context of thyroid cancer, which may contribute to filling the knowledge gaps on this subject.

[PMID: 37510255 PMCID: PMC10379612 DOI: 10.3390/genes14071349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Cigarette smoking (CS) is a major cause of various serious diseases due to tobacco chemicals. There is evidence suggesting that CS has been linked with the DNA damage repair system, as it can affect genomic stability, inducing genetic changes in the genes involved in the repair system, specifically the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, affecting the function and/or regulation of these genes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), along with CS, can affect the work of the NER pathway and, therefore, could lead to different diseases. This study explored the association of four SNPs in both XPA and XPC genes with CS in the Saudi population. The Taq Man genotyping assay was used for 220 healthy non-smokers (control) and 201 healthy smokers to evaluate four SNPs in the XPA gene named rs10817938, rs1800975, rs3176751, and rs3176752 and four SNPs in the XPC gene called rs1870134, rs2228000, rs2228001, and rs2607775. In the XPA gene, SNP rs3176751 showed a high-risk association with CS-induced diseases with all clinical parameters, including CS duration, CS intensity, gender, and age of smokers. On the other hand, SNP rs1800975 showed a statistically significant low-risk association with all clinical parameters. In addition, rs10817938 showed a high-risk association only with long-term smokers and a low-risk association only with younger smokers. A low-risk association was found in SNP rs3176752 with older smokers. In the XPC gene, SNP rs2228001 showed a low-risk association only with female smokers. SNP rs2607775 revealed a statistically significant low-risk association with CS-induced diseases, concerning all parameters, except for male smokers. However, SNP rs2228000 and rs1870134 showed no association with CS. Overall, the study results demonstrated possible significant associations (effector/and protector) between CS and SNPs polymorphisms in DNA repair genes, such as XPA and XPC, except for rs2228000 and rs1870134 polymorphisms.

J Gastrointest Oncol 2021; 12:1797-1810. [PMID: 34532129 DOI: 10.21037/jgo-21-310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To explore the potential biological function of XPA (Xeroderma pigmentosum group A) in hepatic neoplasms and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods Liver cells were used as experimental models to establish HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) in vitro. Protein extractions were subjected to Western blotting to detect the proteins expression. The lentivirus transfection efficiency was confirmed by Western blot and RT-qPCR, Tunnel staining was used to detect apoptosis, and Transwell assays were used to observe cell migration and invasion. Cell proliferation was detected with colony formation and CCK-8 (cell counting kit-8) assays. Results XPA expression was obviously lower in HCC tissue and liver cancer cell lines. XPA overexpression induced autophagy and apoptosis by increasing LC3B II/I, Beclin1, cleaved-caspase-3, and Bax expression and decreasing p62 and Bcl2 protein levels. XPA also suppressed HCC EMT (Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition) by increasing E-cadherin and decreasing N-cadherin and vimentin protein expression. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vivo were significantly inhibited by the overexpression of XPA, and p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR expression were decreased in LV-XPA cells. In general, XPA inhibited HCC by inducing autophagy and apoptosis and by modulating the expression of PI3K/Akt/mTOR proteins. Conclusions XPA overexpression was found to suppress HCC by inducing autophagy and apoptosis and repressing EMT and proliferation. Each of these effects may be involved in modulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) as a biomarker of benzene exposure. METHODS A total of 294 benzene-exposed workers and 102 controls were recruited. Biomarkers of mtDNAcn, cytokinesis-block micronucleus (MN) frequency, and peripheral blood white blood cells (WBC) were detected. Eighteen polymorphism sites in DNA damage repair and metabolic genes were analyzed. RESULTS Benzene exposure increased mtDNAcn and indicated a dose-response relationship (P < 0.001). mtDNAcn was negatively correlated with WBC count and DNA methylation and positively correlated with MN frequency. The AG type in rs1695 interacted with benzene exposure to aggravate mtDNAcn (β = 0.006, 95% CI: 0, 0.012, P = 0.050). rs13181, rs1695, rs1800975, and GSTM1 null were associated with benzene-induced mtDNAcn. Rs1695 interacted with benzene to increase mitochondrial damage. CONCLUSIONS Benzene exposure increases mtDNAcn levels in benzene-exposed workers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compassion fatigue has not been studied among funeral directors. Yet, funeral directors have been exposed to the same risks for compassion fatigue as other caregivers during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS An online survey was spread two times to 287 employees of funeral home DELA, in Belgium. Once during the height of the first wave of COVID-19 in Belgium, and a second time at the end of the first wave. The professional quality of life-scale 5 (PROQOL-5) was used to measure compassion fatigue, which includes burnout, compassion satisfaction and secondary trauma. Non-parametric tests were performed. RESULTS In total, 104 participants answered the first survey, and 107 the second. Burnout increases from survey 1 to survey 2 (P < 0.001), while compassion satisfaction (P = 0.011) and secondary trauma decrease (P < 0.001). In survey 1, only age (P = 0.007) and gender (P = 0.040) were found to be significantly associated with secondary trauma. In survey 2, having more work experience is associated with having a higher burnout (P = 0.008) and secondary trauma (P = 0.001) score. Neither for burnout (P < 0.001), nor for secondary trauma (P < 0.001) are there any respondents in the highest category. CONCLUSIONS Although overall funeral directors do not have acute problems with compassion fatigue, burnout scores increase significantly after the first wave.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although several studies have identified an association between the receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE) rs1800624 polymorphism and breast cancer, the results have been conflicting. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the relationship between the RAGE rs1800624 polymorphism and breast cancer risk. METHODS Studies were searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang Med Online, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases until September 20, 2019 to identify all potential literature on this association. Fixed-effect or random-effect models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses and tests for publication bias were also performed. RESULTS Five eligible studies involving 2823 subjects (1410 patients and 1413 healthy controls) were included in the current meta-analysis. The pooled analysis indicated a positive correlation between the RAGE rs1800624 polymorphism and the risk of breast cancer in a homozygous genetic model (OR = 1.423, 95% CI = 1.043-1.941, P = .026). Ethnicity-based subgroup analysis demonstrated that RAGE rs1800624 polymorphism may increase the risk of breast cancer in the Asian population in homozygous model (OR = 1.661, 95% CI = 1.178-2.342, P = .004). CONCLUSION The RAGE rs1800624 polymorphism may increase the risk of breast cancer in the homozygous genetic model, especially in Asian populations. Large-scale and well-designed studies are needed in different populations to further evaluate the role of the RAGE polymorphism in breast cancer.

Abstract
The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway is activated in response to a broad spectrum of DNA lesions, including bulky lesions induced by platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents. Expression levels of NER factors and resistance to chemotherapy has been examined with some suggestion that NER plays a role in tumour resistance; however, there is a great degree of variability in these studies. Nevertheless, recent clinical studies have suggested Xeroderma Pigmentosum group A (XPA) protein, a key regulator of the NER pathway that is essential for the repair of DNA damage induced by platinum-based chemotherapeutics, as a potential prognostic and predictive biomarker for response to treatment. XPA functions in damage verification step in NER, as well as a molecular scaffold to assemble other NER core factors around the DNA damage site, mediated by protein–protein interactions. In this review, we focus on the interacting partners and mechanisms of regulation of the XPA protein. We summarize clinical oncology data related to this DNA repair factor, particularly its relationship with treatment outcome, and examine the potential of XPA as a target for small molecule inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the present study is to comprehensively evaluate the impact of the rs1800975 A/G polymorphism within the human xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) gene on susceptibility to overall cancer by performing an integrative analysis of the current evidence. METHODS We retrieved possible relevant publications from a total of six electronic databases (updated to April 2020) and selected eligible case-control studies for pooled assessment. P-values of association and odds ratio (OR) were calculated for the assessment of association effect. We also performed Begg's test and Egger's test, sensitivity analysis, false-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis, trial sequential analysis (TSA), and expression/splicing quantitative trait loci (eQTL/sQTL) analyses. RESULTS In total, 71 case-control studies with 19,257 cases and 30,208 controls from 52 publications were included for pooling analysis. We observed an enhanced overall cancer susceptibility in cancer cases compared with negative controls in the Caucasian subgroup analysis for the genetic models of allelic G vs. A, carrier G vs. A, homozygotic GG vs AA, heterozygotic AG vs. AA, dominant AG + GG vs. AA and recessive GG vs. AA + AG (P < 0.05, OR > 1). A similar positive conclusion was also detected in the "skin cancer" or "skin basal cell carcinoma (BCC)" subgroup analysis of the Caucasian population. Our FPRP analysis and TSA results further confirmed the robustness of the conclusion. However, our eQTL/sQTL data did not support the strong links of rs1800975 with the gene expression or splicing changes of XPA in the skin tissue. In addition, even though we observed a decreased risk of lung cancer under the homozygotic, heterozygotic and dominant models (P < 0.05, OR < 1) and an enhanced risk of colorectal cancer under the allelic, homozygotic, heterozygotic, dominant (P < 0.05, OR > 1), our data from FPRP analysis and another pooling analysis with only the population-based controls in the Caucasian population did not support the strong links between the XPA rs1800975 A/G polymorphism and the risk of lung or colorectal cancer. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide evidence of the close relationship between the XPA rs1800975 A/G polymorphism and susceptibility to skin cancer in the Caucasian population. The potential effect of XPA rs1800975 on the risk of developing lung or colorectal cancer still merits the enrollment of larger well-scaled studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol intake increases the risk of developing colon cancer. Circadian disruption promotes alcohol's effect on colon carcinogenesis through unknown mechanisms. Alcohol's metabolites induce DNA damage, an early step in carcinogenesis. We assessed the effect of time of alcohol consumption on markers of tissue damage in the colonic epithelium. METHODS Mice were treated by alcohol or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), at 4-hour intervals for 3 days, and their colons were analyzed for (i) proliferation (Ki67) and antiapoptosis (Bcl-2) markers, (ii) DNA damage (γ-H2AX), and (iii) the major acetaldehyde (AcH)-DNA adduct, N2 -ethylidene-dG. To model circadian disruption, mice were shifted once weekly for 12 h and then were sacrificed at 4-hour intervals. Samples of mice with a dysfunctional molecular clock were analyzed. The dynamics of DNA damage repair from AcH treatment as well as role of xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A (XPA) in their repair were studied in vitro. RESULTS Proliferation and survival of colonic epithelium have daily rhythmicity. Alcohol induced colonic epithelium proliferation in a time-dependent manner, with a stronger effect during the light/rest period. Alcohol-associated DNA damage also occurred more when alcohol was given at light. Levels of DNA adduct did not vary by time, suggesting rather lower repair efficiency during the light versus dark. XPA gene expression, a key excision repair gene, was time-dependent, peaking at the beginning of the dark. XPA knockout colon epithelial cells were inefficient in repair of the DNA damage induced by alcohol's metabolite. CONCLUSIONS Time of day of alcohol intake may be an important determinant of colon tissue damage and carcinogenicity.
