Abstract
PURPOSE Central precocious puberty (CPP) results from early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. To elucidate the molecular genetic basis of CPP, we here investigated the effects of polymorphism rs5780218, rs12998 and rs10158616 in KISS1 gene on CPP susceptibility. METHODS The three KISS1 gene polymorphisms were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and Sanger sequencing in 422 healthy Hubei Chinese girls and 384 Hubei Chinese girls with CPP. RESULTS Single-locus analysis demonstrated that rs5780218 and rs12998 were significantly associated with CPP susceptibility in Hubei Chinese girls. Haplotype analysis exhibited that the AGG carrying the risk allele A of rs5780218 and the -GG carrying the protective allele - of rs5780218 were associated with increased and decreased CPP susceptibility in Hubei Chinese girls, respectively. The following meta-analysis confirmed the contribution of rs5780218 and rs12998 on CPP susceptibility in Chinese girls. CONCLUSIONS rs5780218 and rs12998 in the KISS1 gene may participate in genetic susceptibility to CPP in Chinese girls, and the KISS1 gene rs5780218 may serve as a genetic biomarker of CPP. However, the present findings should be validated in future studies with larger sample sizes in other ethnic populations.

Association of SNP rs5069 in APOA1 with Benign Breast Diseases in a Mexican Population. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13050738. [PMID: 35627123 PMCID: PMC9141650 DOI: 10.3390/genes13050738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer (BCa) is the most common type of cancer affecting women worldwide. Some histological subtypes of benign breast disease (BBD) are considered risk factors for developing BCa. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding apolipoproteins A-I (APOA1) and B (APOB) have been associated with BCa in Tunisian, Chinese, and Taiwanese populations. The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the possible contribution of APOA1 and APOB polymorphisms to BCa and BBD in the Mexican population. We analyzed the association of 4 SNPs in genes encoding apolipoproteins: rs670 and rs5069 in the APOA1 gene, and rs693 and rs1042031 in the APOB gene, by performing PCR-RFLP with DNA extracted from the biopsy tissue of Mexican women with BCa or BBD and whole blood samples obtained from the general population (GP). Our results showed an association between the CT + TT genotypes of the SNP rs5069 and BBD (p = 0.03201). In the A-T haplotype, the frequency of the SNPs rs670 and rs5069 differed significantly between the BBD group and the GP and BCa groups (p = 0.004111; p = 0.01303). In conclusion, the SNP rs5069 is associated with BBD but not with BCa in the Mexican population.

Abstract
The significance of KISS1 goes beyond its original discovery as a metastasis suppressor. Its function as a neuropeptide involved in diverse physiologic processes is more well studied. Enthusiasm regarding KISS1 has cumulated in clinical trials in multiple fields related to reproduction and metabolism. But its cancer therapeutic space is unsettled. This review focuses on collating data from cancer and non-cancer fields in order to understand shared and disparate signaling that might inform clinical development in the cancer therapeutic and biomarker space. Research has focused on amino acid residues 68-121 (kisspeptin 54), binding to the KISS1 receptor and cellular responses. Evidence and counterevidence regarding this canonical pathway require closer look at the covariates so that the incredible potential of KISS1 can be realized.

Association of polymorphisms in metastasis suppressor genes NME1 and KISS1 with breast cancer development and metastasis. J Egypt Natl Canc Inst 2020; 32:24. [PMID: 32462300 DOI: 10.1186/s43046-020-00037-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND NME1 and KISS1 genes are two tumor metastasis suppressor genes, mapped to chromosomes 17q21.3 and 1q32 respectively. Here, we analyzed the association of EcoR1 (rs34214448-G/T) polymorphism in NME1 gene and 9 del T (rs5780218-A/-) polymorphism in KISS1 gene with breast cancer development and metastasis. RESULTS The study included 75 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer recruited from Oncology Center at Mansoura University Hospitals and 37 age-matched healthy female volunteers as a control group. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples and genotyping of rs34214448 and rs5780218 SNPs was carried out by PCR-RFLP technique. NME1 EcoR1 (rs34214448) polymorphism has a statistically significant association with breast cancer risk (P < 0.001). Most of breast cancer group (55%) had heterozygous (G/T) genotype while most of control group (95%) had homozygous wild (G/G) genotype (P < 0.0005). Also, KISS1 rs5780218 polymorphism has a statistically significant association with breast cancer risk. The wild (A/A) genotype was associated with lower risk of breast cancer (A/- + -/- vs. A/A: OR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.15-8.36, P = 0.025). EcoR1 (rs34214448) polymorphism revealed a significant association with tumor stage and distant metastasis as patients. Carriers of the wild (G/G) genotype were more likely to present with advanced disease stages and distant metastasis. CONCLUSIONS Both EcoR1 (rs34214448) polymorphism of NME1 gene and rs5780218 polymorphism of KISS1 gene revealed significant association with increased risk of breast cancer development. The (G/G) genotype of EcoR1 polymorphism was associated with higher risk of breast cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) are a type of genetic mutations that result in amino acid substitution of the encoded proteins that may potentially affect its function and phenotype. An In Silico assay has been carried out by using bioinformatics prediction tools to identify nsSNPs which are responsible for important disorders in human kisspeptin (KISS1) gene. In this study, for the first time, KISS1 amino acid changes were discovered by tBlastn for EST database. A list of nsSNPs in human KISS1 gene from dbSNP, dbEST and UniProt databases were prepared. Computational analysis was performed using SIFT (Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant) and PolyPhen (Polymorphism Phenotyping) programs. Of the total 92 nsSNPs, 20 were found to be damaged by both servers. Six nsSNPs (P97L, G122R, W114C, R92C, R120H and N115K) are predicted with the highest damaging scores (SIFT = 0, PolyPhen = 1). These intolerant changes may suggest their functional significance in critical regions which may affect the function and stability of KISS1 protein. Identifying these nsSNPs among the thousands of them make an opportunity to screen only those predicted deleterious by programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastasis-associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1) has been reported to promote tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Cancer stem cells and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) have also been reported to promote tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. KiSS-1, a known suppressor of metastasis, has been reported to be down-regulated in various tumors. However, the associations of MACC1, CD44, Twist1, and KiSS-1 in colonic adenocarcinoma (CAC) invasion and metastasis remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the roles of MACC1, CD44, Twist1, and KiSS-1 in CAC invasion and metastasis and their associations with each other and with the clinicopathological characteristics of CAC patients. METHODS Immunohistochemistry and multivariate analysis were carried out to explore the expression of MACC1, CD44, Twist1, and KiSS-1 in 212 whole-CAC-tissue specimens and the corresponding normal colon mucosa tissues. Demographic, clinicopathological, and follow-up data were also collected. RESULTS The results of this study showed MACC1, CD44, and Twist1 expression to be up-regulated, and KiSS-1 expression was down-regulated in CAC tissues. Positive expression of MACC1, CD44, and Twist1 was found to be positively correlated with invasion, tumor grades, and lymph- node-metastasis (LNM) stages and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stages for patients with CAC. Positive expression of KiSS-1 was inversely associated with invasion, tumor size, LNM stage, and TNM stage. The KiSS-1-positive expression group had significantly more favorable OS than did the KiSS-1-negative group. Univariate analysis indicated that overexpression of MACC1, CD44, and Twists1 was negatively associated with longer overall survival (OS) time, and there was a positive relationship between KiSS-1-positive expression and OS time for patients with CAC. Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that overexpression of MACC1, CD44, Twist1, and low expression of KiSS-1 and LNM and TNM stages were independent predictors of prognosis in patients with CAC. CONCLUSIONS The results in this study indicated that levels of expression of MACC1, CD44, Twist1, and KiSS-1 are related to the duration of OS in patients with CAC. MACC1, CD44, Twist1, and KiSS-1 may be suitable for use as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in CAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), is able to translocate into gastric epithelial cells. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (also named as HER2, is a proto-oncogene which can encode a transmembrane receptor), Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1, a biomarker of cancer stem cells), and KiSS-1 (a suppressor gene of cancer metastasis) are all valuably predictive biomarkers for various human cancers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the associations among CagA, HER2, ALDH1, and KiSS-1 in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC), and their respective associations with clinical characteristics and survival in GAC. METHODS The expression of CagA, HER2, ALDH1, and KiSS-1 in 232 cases of whole GAC tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Patient clinical and survival data were also collected. RESULTS Positive expression of CagA, HER2, and ALDH1 is significantly higher, and positive expression of KiSS-1 is significantly lower, in GAC tissues than in the corresponding normal tissues. Furthermore, the positive expression of CagA, HER2, ALDH1, and KiSS-1 were significantly associated with tumor grade, tumor stage, lymph node metastasis (LNM) stage, and tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages, and with patients' overall survival (OS); whereas the KiSS-1 positive group had longer OS than did the KiSS-1 negative group. In logistic analysis, positive expression of CagA, HER2, ALDH1, and KiSS-1 are significantly associated with LNM of patients with GAC. COX regression analysis indicated that positive expression of CagA, HER2, ALDH1, and KiSS-1, and tumor stages, LNM stages, and TNM stages were independent prognostic factors for patients with GAC. CONCLUSIONS Expression of CagA, HER2, ALDH1, and KiSS-1 should be considered as promising biomarkers for metastasis and prognosis, as well as potential therapeutic targets for GAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1, a biomarker of cancer stem cells), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9, known as a matrilysin), Integrin αvβ3 (known as a biomarker of cell-matrix adhesion) and KiSS-1 (suppressor gene of tumor metastasis) are all related to cancer invasion and metastasis in many cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of ALDH1, MMP9, Integrin αvβ3, and KiSS-1 in invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and their respective associations with clinical characteristics and survival in IDC. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of ALDH1, MMP9, Integrin αvβ3, and KiSS-1 in 227 whole IDC tissue specimens. Patients' clinical and demographic data were both collected. RESULTS The expression of ALDH1, MMP9, and Integrin αvβ3 were significantly higher in IDC tissues than in the control tissues. The positive expressions of ALDH1, MMP9, and Integrin αvβ3 were positively associated with tumor grades, lymph node metastasis (LNM), tumor stages, and tumor node metastasis (TNM) stages, and inversely with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Positive expression of KiSS-1 was negatively associated with tumor grades, LNM, tumor stages, and TNM stages, but positively with OS and RFS. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that the positive expression of ALDH1, MMP9, Integrin αvβ3, KiSS-1, ER, and HER-2, as well as TNM stages were independent prognostic factors for OS and RFS in IDC. CONCLUSIONS The expression of ALDH1, MMP9, Integrin αvβ3, and KiSS-11 should represent promising biomarkers in predicting metastasis and prognosis, as well as being potential therapeutic targets for IDC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrence and metastasis are the usual manifestations of treatment failure of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). Vasculogenic mimicry (VM; blood supply development often seen in highly aggressive cancers), aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1, cancer stem cell biomarker), KiSS-1 (suppressor of tumor metastasis), and metastasis associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) are all useful predictive factors for metastasis and prognosis in various cancers. In this study, we analyzed associations among VM, ALDH1, KiSS-1, and MACC1 in EOC, and their respective correlations with clinicopathological characteristics and survival in EOC. METHODS Positive rates of VM, ALDH1, KiSS-1, and MACC1 in 207 whole EOC tissue samples were detected by immunohistochemistry. Patients' clinical data were also collected. RESULTS Levels of VM, ALDH1, and MACC1 were significantly higher, and levels of KiSS-1 significantly lower, in EOC tissues than in benign ovary tumors. Levels of VM, ALDH1, KiSS-1, and MACC1 were associated significantly with tumor/lymph node/metastasis (LNM) grade, implantation, and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, and with patients' overall survival (OS); whereas the KiSS-1+ subgroup had significantly longer OS than did the KiSS-1- subgroup. In multivariate analysis, high VM, ALDH1 or MACC1 levels, FIGO stage, implantation and low KiSS-1 levels were independently associated with shorter OS in patients with EOC. CONCLUSIONS VM and expressions of ALDH1, KiSS-1, and MACC1 represent promising markers for metastasis and prognosis, and potential therapeutic targets for EOC.

Single nucleotide variants in metastasis-related genes are associated with breast cancer risk, by lymph node involvement and estrogen receptor status, in women with European and African ancestry. Mol Carcinog 2017; 56:1000-1009. [PMID: 27597141 PMCID: PMC5310990 DOI: 10.1002/mc.22565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2016] [Revised: 07/29/2016] [Accepted: 09/04/2016] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pathways influencing lymph node (LN) metastasis and estrogen receptor (ER) status in breast cancer may partially explain inter-patient variability in prognosis. We examined 154 SNPs in 12 metastasis-related genes for associations with breast cancer risk, stratified by LN and ER status, in European-American (EA) and African-American (AA) women. Two-thousand six hundred and seventy-one women enrolled in the Women's Circle of Health Study were genotyped. Pathway analyses were conducted using the adaptive rank truncated product (ARTP) method, with pARTP ≤ 0.10 as significant. Multi-allelic risk scores were created for the ARTP-significant gene(s). Single-SNP and risk score associations were modeled using logistic regression, with false discovery rate (FDR) P-value adjustment. Although single-SNP associations were not significant at pFDR < 0.05, several genes were significant in the ARTP analyses. In AA women, significant ARTP gene-level associations included CDH1 with LN+ (pARTP = 0.10; multi-allelic OR = 1.13, 95%CI 1.07-1.19, pFDR = 0.0003) and SIPA1 with ER- breast cancer (pARTP = 0.10; multi-allelic OR = 1.16, 95%CI 1.02-1.31, pFDR = 0.03). In EA women, MTA2 was associated with overall breast cancer risk (pARTP = 0.004), regardless of ER status, and with LN- disease (pARTP = 0.01). Also significant were SATB1 in ER- (pARTP = 0.03; multi-allelic OR = 1.12, 95%CI 1.05-1.20, pFDR = 0.003) and KISS1 in LN- (pARTP = 0.10; multi-allelic OR = 1.18, 95%CI 1.08-1.29, pFDR = 0.002) analyses. Among LN+ cases, significant ARTP associations were observed for SNAI1, CD82, NME1, and CTNNB1 (multi-allelic OR = 1.09, 95%CI 1.04-1.14, pFDR = 0.001). Our findings suggest that variants in several metastasis genes may affect breast cancer risk by LN or ER status, although verification in larger studies is required. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
