Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) corrects forms of oxidative, deamination, alkylation, and abasic single-base damage that appear to have minimal effects on the helix. Since its discovery in 1974, the field has grown in several facets: mechanisms, biology and physiology, understanding deficiencies and human disease, and using BER genes as potential inhibitory targets to develop therapeutics. Within its segregation of short nucleotide (SN-) and long patch (LP-), there are currently six known global mechanisms, with emerging work in transcription- and replication-associated BER. Knockouts (KOs) of BER genes in mouse models showed that single glycosylase knockout had minimal phenotypic impact, but the effects were clearly seen in double knockouts. However, KOs of downstream enzymes showed critical impact on the health and survival of mice. BER gene deficiency contributes to cancer, inflammation, aging, and neurodegenerative disorders. Medicinal targets are being developed for single or combinatorial therapies, but only PARP and APE1 have yet to reach the clinical stage.

The Role of O 6-methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase Polymorphisms in Prostate Cancer Susceptibility: a Meta-Analysis. Pathol Oncol Res 2019; 26:1201-1209. [PMID: 31190217 DOI: 10.1007/s12253-019-00672-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2018] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
To assess the associations between O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT) polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk. We retrieved PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase electronic database to search for all eligible studies published from Jan 1, 1970 to Sep 31, 2017 to conduct a Meta-analysis. we identified 11 independent studies in 5 eligible reports, including 5143 cases and 8118 controls. The data suggested that rs12917 was associated with higher PCa risk under the contrast of TT vs CC and recessive model in overall population (TT vs CC: OR = 1.599, 95%CI: 1.007-2.539, P = 0.047; TT vs CC + CT: OR = 1.627, 95%CI: 1.026-2.580, P = 0.038). In subgroup analyses stratified by ethnicity, the remarkable association with higher PCa risk was detected under allelic model, dominant model, the contrast of TC vs CC, and the contrast of TC vs CC + TT in Asian population. (T vs C: OR = 1.911, 95%CI: 1.182-3.090, P = 0.008; TC vs CC: OR = 1.948, 95%CI: 1.152-3.295, P = 0.013; TC + TT vs CC: OR = 1.994, 95%CI: 1.190-3.342, P = 0.009; TC vs CC + TT: OR = 1.926, 95%CI: 1.140-3.255, P = 0.014). However, the data suggest the rs2308327 and rs2308321 polymorphisms of the MGMT gene were nor associated with the susceptibility of prostate cancer. Based on the meta-analysis, MGMT rs12917 polymorphism increase the susceptibility to prostate cancer, which can be taken for a diagnosis and screening molecular biomarker for prostate cancer patients.

The potential role of MGMT rs12917 polymorphism in cancer risk: an updated pooling analysis with 21010 cases and 34018 controls. Biosci Rep 2018; 38:BSR20180942. [PMID: 30232235 PMCID: PMC6435461 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20180942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2018] [Revised: 09/12/2018] [Accepted: 09/14/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present study, we aimed at determining the potential role of rs12917 polymorphism of the O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene in the occurrence of cancer. Based on the available data from the online database, we performed an updated meta-analysis. We retrieved 537 articles from our database research and finally selected a total of 54 case–control studies (21010 cases and 34018 controls) for a series of pooling analyses. We observed an enhanced risk in cancer cases compared with controls, using the genetic models T/T compared with C/C (P-value of association test <0.001; odds ratio (OR) = 1.29) and T/T compared with C/C+C/T (P<0.001; OR = 1.32). We detected similar positive results in the subgroups ‘Caucasian’, and ‘glioma’ (all P<0.05; OR > 1). However, we detected negative results in our analyses of most of the other subgroups (P>0.05). Begg’s and Egger’s tests indicated that the results were free of potential publication bias, and sensitivity analysis suggested the stability of the pooling results. In summary, the T/T genotype of MGMT rs12917 is likely to be linked to an enhanced susceptibility to cancer overall, especially glioma, in the Caucasian population.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Excision repair cross complementing (ERCC) group genes play important roles in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) way, which can effectively remove bulky lesions and reduce UV-caused DNA damage by environmental chemicals. Polymorphisms in ERCCs were thought to be related to prostate cancer (PCa) risk. However, it has been unclear whether this relationship is consistent. This study aimed to obtain the overall profile regarding the associations between ERCCs polymorphisms and PCa risk. Materials and Methods: We identified relevant studies by a systematic search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, Google Scholar databases, Web of Science and Wanfang databases up to April 8, 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidential intervals (95%CIs) were conducted to evaluate the associations. All the statistical analyses were conducted basing on STATA 12.0 software. Results: Finally, a total of 29 previous studies published in 17 publications were included for four polymorphisms in two DNA repair genes (ERCC2-rs1799793, ERCC2-rs238406, ERCC2-rs13181 and ERCC5-rs17655). Overall, we observed no significant connection between these four polymorphisms and PCa risk. However, after stratifying the studies by ethnicity, ERCC2-rs1799793 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of PCa in Asian patients and the relationship was subsequently validated with the allelic model, the homozygous model and the recessive model when extracting the data of Asian patients for specific analyses (B vs. A: OR = 1.537, 95%CI: 1.240-1.906, PA< 0.001; BB vs. AA: OR = 2.089, 95%CI: 1.388-3.145, PA< 0.001 and BB vs. BA + AA: OR = 1.929, 95%CI: 1.313-2.835, PA= 0.020). Furthermore, subgroup analyses were also conducted by Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) and source of control, negative results were identified for ERCC2-rs238406, ERCC2-rs13181 and ERCC5-rs17655 polymorphisms (PA> 0.050). Conclusion: To sum up, our work demonstrated that ERCC2-rs1799793 polymorphism is positively associated with PCa risk in Asian population. Further larger-scale studies with subjects of the same ethnicity and biological characteristics are required to verify these findings.

Abstract
Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of mortality and genetic factors can influence tumour aggressiveness. Several germline variants have been associated with PCa-specific mortality (PCSM), but further replication evidence is needed. Methods Twenty-two previously identified PCSM-associated genetic variants were genotyped in seven PCa cohorts (12,082 patients; 1544 PCa deaths). For each cohort, Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for risk of PCSM associated with each variant. Data were then combined using a meta-analysis approach. Results Fifteen SNPs were associated with PCSM in at least one of the seven cohorts. In the meta-analysis, after adjustment for clinicopathological factors, variants in the MGMT (rs2308327; HR 0.90; p-value = 3.5 × 10−2) and IL4 (rs2070874; HR 1.22; p-value = 1.1 × 10−3) genes were confirmed to be associated with risk of PCSM. In analyses limited to men diagnosed with local or regional stage disease, a variant in AKT1, rs2494750, was also confirmed to be associated with PCSM risk (HR 0.81; p-value = 3.6 × 10−2). Conclusions This meta-analysis confirms the association of three genetic variants with risk of PCSM, providing further evidence that genetic background plays a role in PCa-specific survival. While these variants alone are not sufficient as prognostic biomarkers, these results may provide insights into the biological pathways modulating tumour aggressiveness.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common solid cancer and genetic factors play important roles in its pathogenesis. XPD is one of the 8 core genes involved in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. The relationship between Asp312Asn, Lys751Gln, and Arg156Arg polymorphisms in XPD and prostate cancer risk is a controversial topic. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between these 3 polymorphisms and the risk of developing prostate cancer. We searched the electronic literature in PubMed and Google Scholar for all relevant studies (last updated January 1, 2017). The pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the associations between the Asp312Asn, Lys751Gln, or Arg156Arg polymorphisms in XPD and prostate cancer risk were calculated. To evaluate the effects of specific study characteristics on the association of these 3 polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk, we performed subgroup analysis if 2 or more studies were available. After an extensive literature review, 7 publications regarding Asp312Asn genotype distribution with 8 case–controls, 9 publications regarding Lys751Gln genotype distribution with 10 case–controls, and 3 publications regarding Arg156Arg genotype distribution with 4 case–controls were selected. The results showed that Asp312Asn (odds ratio = 1.34, 95% confidence interval: 0.96-1.87, P = .000), Lys751Gln (odds ratio = 0.98, 95% confidence interval: 0.89-1.08, P = .986), and Arg156Arg (odds ratio = 1.05, 95% confidence interval: 0.91-1.22, P = .57) polymorphisms do not increase the risk of prostate cancer in the dominant model. Further, in the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, no relationships were observed between Lys751Gln and Arg156Arg polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk. However, stratified analysis by ethnicity revealed that Asp312Asn affects African (odds ratio = 1.57, 95% confidence interval: 1.06-2.33, P = .382) and Asian populations (odds ratio = 2.09, 95% confidence interval: 1.39-3.14, P = .396) in homozygote comparison. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that there is no general association between the Asp312Asn, Lys751Gln, and Arg156Arg polymorphisms in XPD and prostate cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the associations of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) genetic polymorphisms (Leu84Phe and Ile143Val) with temozolomide (TMZ) resistance and prognosis of patients with malignant gliomas. A total of 212 patients diagnosed with malignant gliomas were enrolled in this study as the case group. All of these patients took oral TMZ and were assigned into the TMZ-sensitive (complete response+partial response) and the TMZ-resistant (stable disease+progressive disease) groups based on the clinical response after chemotherapy. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to identify the gene polymorphism of Leu84Phe and Ile143Val. The survival time and survival outcomes of all the patients were obtained by follow-up. There were significant differences in the genotype and allele of Leu84Phe between the TMZ-sensitive and the TMZ-resistant groups. The CT, TT and CT+TT genotypes and the T allele of MGMT gene Leu84Phe may be associated with increasing TMZ resistance in patients with malignant gliomas. Logistic regression analysis showed that Leu84Phe of MGMT gene and pathological grade were independent risk factors for the increase of TMZ resistance in patients with malignant gliomas. Kaplan-Meier survival curve revealed that the average survival time of patients with the CT+TT and CC genotypes of Leu84Phe in the two groups was statistically significant. COX regression analysis showed that Leu84Phe, degree of resection and pathological grade were independent prognostic factors for patients with malignant gliomas. Our study demonstrates that Leu84Phe of MGMT gene might be a risk factor of TMZ resistance and poor prognosis of patients with malignant gliomas.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in X-ray repair cross-complementing (XRCC) genes have been implicated in altering the risk of various urological cancers. However, the results of reported studies are controversial. To ascertain whether polymorphisms in XRCC genes are associated with the risk of urological neoplasms, we conducted present updated meta-analysis and systematic review. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the association. Finally, 54 publications comprising 129 case-control studies for twelve polymorphisms in five XRCC genes were enrolled. We identified that XRCC1-rs25489 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of urological neoplasms in heterozygote and dominant models. Moreover, in the subgroup analysis by cancer type, we found that XRCC1-rs25489 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer (BC) in heterozygote model. Although overall analyses suggested a null result for XRCC1-rs25487 polymorphism, in the stratified analysis by ethnicity, an increased risk of urological neoplasms for Asians in allelic and homozygote models was identified. While for other polymorphisms in XRCC genes, no significant association was uncovered. To sum up, our results indicated that XRCC1-rs25489 polymorphism is a risk factor for urological neoplasms, particularly for BC. Further studies with large sample size are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a predominant type of thyroid cancer. Ionizing radiation is the only well-established risk factor and may result in double-strand breaks. The x-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) gene plays a vital role in DNA repair through homologous recombination. We aimed at investigating the association between XRCC3 genetic polymorphisms and PTC susceptibility. Eighty-three PTC patients and 367 controls in a Chinese population were enrolled in the study. Tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified by HaploView 4.2 software. Genomic DNAs were isolated from peripheral blood samples by using TaqMan Blood DNA kits. The genotyping of XRCC3 SNPs was performed by TaqMan SNPs genotyping assay. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the association between XRCC3 SNPs and PTC susceptibility. The statistical analyses were conducted by using SPSS 13.0 software. Four tag-SNPs were initially identified by HaploView 4.2 software. Only one SNP (rs861539) was shown to be significantly associated with increased risk of PTC. There was a significant difference in smoking and drinking status between PTC cases and controls. And the stratified analysis suggested that the polymorphisms of rs861539 in XRCC3 were correlated with PTC risk in the four subgroups of smokers (ex-smokers included), non-smokers, drinkers (ex-drinkers included), and non-drinkers. The meta-analysis showed that only two studies reported a significant association between XRCC3 polymorphisms and PTC risk. In this study, we find a significant association between rs861539 polymorphisms and PTC susceptibility. However, there were inconsistent results in previous published studies. Therefore, further studies in a large population are required to gain insights into the PTC risk conferred by XRCC3 SNPs.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most common noncutaneous malignancies in Western countries. Because there has been a debate regarding the relationship between the XRCC1-Arg399Gln and Arg280His polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk, we therefore performed this meta-analysis. The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, and Medline were searched prior to October 1, 2014. An odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were used to calculate association. Heterogeneity was tested by both a chi-square test and I statistic. Funnel plots and Egger's test were used to assess publication bias. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA 12.0 software. A significant association between the XRCC1-Arg399Gln polymorphism and prostate cancer risk was found under a homozygote model and a recessive model. A significant association between XRCC1-Arg280His and prostate cancer risk was found under a heterozygote model and a dominant model [corrected]. Overall, the results of this meta-analysis show that the XRCC1-Arg399Gln polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer under the homozygote model and the recessive model. And XRCC1-Arg280His polymorphism is likely to be related with prostate cancer risk under the heterozygote model and the dominant model. Additional larger well-designed studies are needed to validate our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that the X-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 gene (XRCC3) Thr241Met genetic variant could be potentially associated with the risk of prostate cancer. However, results from these published studies were conflicting rather than conclusive. OBJECTIVES his meta-analysis aimed to conduct a better understanding of the effects of XRCC3 Thr241Met genetic variant on prostate cancer risk. METHODS We identified three eligible studies, 499 prostate cancer cases and 571 controls. RESULTS Overall, significant associations were detected in the heterozygote comparison genetic model (CT versus (vs.) CC: OR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.53-0.94, Z =2.38, p= 0.017), and the dominant genetic model (TT/CT vs. CC: OR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.57-0.98, Z = 2.11, p =0.035). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicities, we found that this genetic variant was significantly associated with the decrease risk of prostate cancer in Caucasians for heterozygote comparison genetic model (CT vs. CC: OR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.44-0.98, Z = 2.04, p = 0.042). No publication bias was found in this study. CONCLUSIONS Results from this meta-analysis indicate that the XRCC3 Thr241Met genetic variant is associated with prostate cancer risk.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (Pca) is one of the noncutaneous cancers occurring worldwide. Its high morbidity and mortality make it a concern. X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln polymorphism (rs25487) has been reported to be related to Pca. However, the conclusions are controversial. In this study, PubMed, HuGENet and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were combined with a comprehensive literature search. Four models including dominant (AA + AG vs. GG), recessive (AA vs. AG+GG), codominant (AA vs. AG, AA vs. GG) and per-allele analysis (A vs. G) were applied. Finally, 15 studies with 18 sets of data were included. A positive association was discovered in pooled results for recessive (odds ratio [OR]=1.202, 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.060-1.363, I2=46.20%), codominant (AA vs. AG; OR=1.258, 95% CI, 1.099-1.439, I2=38.50%; AA vs. GG; OR=1.283, 95% CI, 1.027-1.602, I2=51.70%) and allele analysis (OR=1.116, 95% CI, 1.001-1.244, I2=58.00%). In ethnicity subgroup analysis, these 4 models were also significant in the Asian subgroup. However, for whites, only 2 models seemed to be significant (AA vs. AG+GG: OR=1.525, 95% CI, 1.111-2.093, I2=52.60%; AA vs. AG: OR=1.678, 95% CI, 1.185-2.375, I2=30.70%). In further analysis, we regrouped the data based on race, in which pooled results and Asian subgroup were again shown to be positive. In the next analysis, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), linkage disequilibrium (LD), TagSNP and functional analysis were used. The results showed that the SNP was a tag and functional SNP with LD block in both Asians and whites. In summary, we suggest that XRCC1 Arg399Gln might be significantly associated with development of Pca.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic variability in DNA repair genes may contribute to differences in DNA repair capacity and susceptibility to colon polyps and cancer. In this study, we examined the role of MGMT polymorphisms in colon polyps formation. METHODS PCR-SSCP analysis was performed included 254 patients with colon polyps and 330 controls. RESULTS The homozygous F84F genotype was significantly more prevalent in study group than in controls. The polymorphic allele 84F was more frequent appeared in group of older patients and in group of smoking patients. On the other hand, there were no association between 84F and gender, size of polyps, cancer family history. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that high frequency of 84F allele in the group of patients may suggest the role of the MGMT variant in colon polyps etiology.

Abstract
The genetic basis of prostate cancer (PC) is complex and appears to involve multiple susceptibility genes. A number of studies have evaluated a possible correlation between several NER gene polymorphisms and PC risk, but most of them evaluated only single SNPs among XP genes and the results remain inconsistent. Out of 94 SNPs located in seven XP genes (XPA-XPG) a total of 15 SNPs were assayed in 720 unselected patients with PC and compared to 1121 healthy adults. An increased risk of disease was associated with the XPD SNP, rs1799793 (Asp312Asn) AG genotype (OR=2.60; p<0.001) and with the AA genotype (OR=531; p<0.0001) compared to the control population. Haplotype analysis of XPD revealed one protective haplotype and four associated with an increased disease risk, which showed that the A allele (XPD rs1799793) appeared to drive the main effect on promoting prostate cancer risk. Polymorphism in XPD gene appears to be associated with the risk of prostate cancer.

Abstract
There is growing global interest to stratify men into different levels of risk to developing prostate cancer, thus it is important to identify common genetic variants that confer the risk. Although many studies have identified more than a dozen common genetic variants which are highly associated with prostate cancer, none have been done in Malaysian population. To determine the association of such variants in Malaysian men with prostate cancer, we evaluated a panel of 768 SNPs found previously associated with various cancers which also included the prostate specific SNPs in a population based case control study (51 case subjects with prostate cancer and 51 control subjects) in Malaysian men of Malay, Chinese and Indian ethnicity. We identified 21 SNPs significantly associated with prostate cancer. Among these, 12 SNPs were strongly associated with increased risk of prostate cancer while remaining nine SNPs were associated with reduced risk. However, data analysis based on ethnic stratification led to only five SNPs in Malays and 3 SNPs in Chinese which remained significant. This could be due to small sample size in each ethnic group. Significant non-genetic risk factors were also identified for their association with prostate cancer. Our study is the first to investigate the involvement of multiple variants towards susceptibility for PC in Malaysian men using genotyping approach. Identified SNPs and non-genetic risk factors have a significant association with prostate cancer.

Abstract
PARP-1 and MGMT play an important role in the DNA repair system and therefore have been implicated in human carcinogenesis. However, the association between the most studied PARP-1 rs1136410: T > C and MGMT rs12917: C > T polymorphism and risk of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers was reported with inconclusive results. Accordingly, a meta-analysis of 23 published case-control studies was conducted to assess the strength of association using crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Overall, the C allele of PARP-1 rs1136410: T > C polymorphism was significantly associated with increased susceptibility of GI cancers (homozygote comparison: OR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.14-1.81; heterozygote comparison: OR = 1.18, 95% CI 1.07-1.29; dominant model: OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.12-1.35; recessive model: OR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.04-1.62; allelic comparison: OR = 1.19, 95% CI 1.07-1.32). In the subgroup analysis, still obvious associations were found in the Asian population, gastric cancer, and high-quality studies. For MGMT rs12917: C > T polymorphism, no obvious associations were found for all genetic models overall. However, in the subgroup analysis, we found that the T allele was significantly associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk for heterozygote (OR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.70-0.97) and dominant model (OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.72-0.98). In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that the PARP-1 rs1136410: T > C polymorphism is a susceptibility factor for GI cancers, but the variant allele of MGMT rs12917: C > T polymorphism appears to be a protective factor for colorectal cancer. Large-scale and well-designed case-control studies are necessary to validate the risk identified in the present meta-analysis.

Abstract
Background O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase is one of the few proteins to directly remove alkylating agents in the human DNA direct reversal repair pathway. A large number of case-control studies have been conducted to explore the association between MGMT Leu84Phe polymorphism and cancer risk. However, the results were not consistent. Methods We carried out a meta-analysis of 44 case-control studies to clarify the association between the Leu84Phe polymorphism and cancer risk. Results Overall, significant association of the T allele with cancer susceptibility was verified with meta-analysis under a recessive genetic model (P<0.001, OR=1.30, 95%CI 1.24-1.50) and TT versus CC comparison (P=0.001, OR=1.29, 95% CI 1.12-1.50). In subgroup analysis, a significant increased risk was found for lung cancer (TT versus CC, P=0.027, OR=1.67, 95% CI 1.06-2.63; recessive genetic model, P=0.32, OR=1.64, 95% CI 1.04-2.58), whereas risk of colorectal cancer was significantly low under a dominant genetic model (P=0.019, OR=0.84, 95% CI 0.72-0.97). Additionally, a significant association between TT genetic model and total cancer risk was found in the Caucasian population (TT versus CC, P=0.014, OR=1.29, 95% CI 1.05-1.59; recessive genetic model, P=0.009, OR=1.31, 95% CI 1.07-1.61), but not in the Asian population. An increased risk for lung cancer was also verified in the Caucasian population (TT versus CC, P=0.035, OR=1.62, 95% CI 1.04-2.53; recessive genetic model, P=0.048, OR=1.57, 95% CI 1.01-2.45). Conclusions These results suggest that MGMT Leu84Phe polymorphism might contribute to the susceptibility of certain cancers.

Abstract
Many studies have reported the role of xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) with prostate cancer risk, but the results remained controversial. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the association between XPD Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk. A total of 8 studies including 2620 cases and 3225 controls described Asp312Asn genotypes, among which 10 articles involving 3230 cases and 3582 controls described Lys751Gln genotypes and were also involved in this meta-analysis. When all the eligible studies were pooled into this meta-analysis, a significant association between prostate cancer risk and XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism was found. For Asp312Asn polymorphism, in the stratified analysis by ethnicity and source of controls, prostate cancer risk was observed in co-dominant, dominant and recessive models, while no evidence of any associations of XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism with prostate cancer was found in the overall or subgroup analyses. Our meta-analysis supports that the XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism contributed to the risk of prostate cancer from currently available evidence. However, a study with a larger sample size is needed to further evaluate gene-environment interaction on XPD Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in the MGMT gene have been implicated in susceptibility to cancer, but the published studies have reported inconclusive results. The objective of the current study was to investigate the genetic risk of polymorphisms in the MGMT gene for cancer. A meta-analysis was carried out to analyze the association between polymorphisms in the MGMT gene and cancer risk. Five polymorphisms (Leu84Phe, Leu53Leu, Ile143Val, Lys178Arg, and -485C/A) with 98 case-control studies from 49 articles were analyzed. The results indicated that individuals who carried the Phe/Phe homozygote genotype of Leu84Phe had a 31 % increased risk of cancer compared with the Leu allele (Leu + Leu/Phe) carriers (odds ratio [OR] = 1.32, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.15-1.52, P < 0.0001 for Phe/Phe vs. Phe/Leu + Leu/Leu). However, there was no significant association between the risk of cancer and the other four polymorphisms (Leu53Leu, Ile143Val, Lys178Arg, and -485C/A). In further stratified analyses for the Leu84Phe and Ile143Val polymorphisms, the increased risk of cancer remained in subgroups of Caucasians, patients with esophageal cancer for the Leu84Phe polymorphism, and patients with lung cancer for the Ile143Val polymorphism. Results from the current meta-analysis suggested that Leu84Phe and Ile143Val in the MGMT gene are risk factors for cancer. In the future, more studies should be performed to validate our results.

Abstract
The T241M polymorphism in the X-ray cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) had been implicated in cancer susceptibility. The previous published data on the association between XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and cancer risk remained controversial. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between cancer susceptibility and XRCC3 T241M (61,861 cases and 84,584 controls from 157 studies) polymorphism in different inheritance models. We used odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals to assess the strength of the association. Overall, significantly increased cancer risk was observed in any genetic model (dominant model: odds ration [OR]=1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.00-1.13; recessive model: OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.08-1.23; additive model: OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.08-1.28) when all eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis. In further stratified and sensitivity analyses, the elevated risk remained for subgroups of bladder cancer and breast cancer, especially in Caucasians. In addition, significantly decreased lung cancer risk was also observed. In summary, this meta-analysis suggests the participation of XRCC3 T241M in the susceptibility for bladder cancer and breast cancer, especially in Caucasians, and XRCC3 T241M polymorphism is associated with decreased lung cancer risk. Moreover, our work also points out the importance of new studies for T241M association in some cancer types, such as gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma skin cancer, where at least some of the covariates responsible for heterogeneity could be controlled, to obtain a more conclusive understanding about the function of the XRCC3 polymorphism in cancer development.

Abstract
Background DNA repair genes (eg: xeroderma pigmentosum group D, XPD) may affect the capacity of encoded DNA repair enzymes to effectively remove DNA adducts or lesions, which may result in enhanced cancer risk. The association between XPD gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility of prostate cancer (PCa) was inconsistent in previous studies. Methodology/Principal Findings A meta-analysis based on 9 independent case-control studies involving 3165 PCa patients and 3539 healthy controls for XPD Gln751Lys SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) and 2555 cases and 3182 controls for Asn312Asp SNP was performed to address this association. Meanwhile, odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate this relationship. Statistical analysis was performed with STATA10.0. No significant association was found between XPD Gln751Lys SNP and PCa risk. On the other hand, in subgroup analysis based on ethnicity, associations were observed in Asian (eg. Asn vs. Asp: OR = 1.34, 95%CI = 1.16–1.55; Asn/Asn+Asn/Asp vs. Asp/Asp: OR = 1.23, 95%CI = 1.07–1.42) and African (eg. Asn vs. Asp: OR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.01–1.70; Asn/Asn vs. Asp/Asp: OR = 1.71, 95%CI = 1.03–7.10) populations for Asn312Asp SNP. Moreover, similar associations were detected in hospital-based controls studies; the frequency of Asn/Asn genotype in early stage of PCa men was poorly higher than those in advanced stage of PCa men (OR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.00–2.11). Conclusion/Significance Our investigations demonstrate that XPD Asn312Asp SNP not the Gln751Lys SNP, might poorly increase PCa risk in Asians and Africans, moreover, this SNPs may associate with the tumor stage of PCa. Further studies based on larger sample size and gene-environment interactions should be conducted to determine the role of XPD gene polymorphisms in PCa risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between XPD and hOGG1 polymorphisms and prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all case-control studies on the relationship between XPD and hOGG1 polymorphisms and PCa risk. Odds ratios (ORs) were used to investigate the strength of the associations. RESULTS A total of 15 case-control studies including 5,765 cases and 6,270 controls were eligible for the meta-analyses. For XPD Asp312Asn, no evidence indicated that individuals carrying 312Asn had an increased risk of PCa. In subgroup analyses, Asp312Asn polymorphism was associated with PCa risk in Asian populations [OR = 2.09 and 95% CI = 1.39-3.14 for Asn/Asn vs. Asp/Asp; OR = 1.49 and 95% CI = 1.12-1.98 for (Asn/Asn+Asn/Asp) vs. Asp/Asp]. For XPD Lys751Gln, the individuals with 751Gln did not have increased PCa risk compared with those with 751Arg, and no association was found in the subgroup analyses. For hOGG1 Ser326Cys, no significant association between the polymorphism and PCa risk was observed in the overall analysis. However, Ser326Cys was significantly associated with PCa risk under homologous contrast in Caucasians and Asians. CONCLUSIONS XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism is associated with PCa risk in Asians and hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism is associated with PCa risk in Caucasians and Asians.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association between Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln polymorphisms of Xeroderma pigmentosum Group D (XPD) and prostate cancer risk are still inconclusive. For better understanding of the effects of these two polymorphisms on prostate cancer risk, a meta-analysis was performed. METHODS An extensive search was performed to identify all case-control studies investigating such association. The strength of association between these two polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk was assessed by odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI). RESULTS A total of seven case-control studies were identified, among which five studies (1,257 cases and 1,956 controls) were eligible for Asp312Asn polymorphism and six studies (1,451 cases and 2,375 controls) were eligible for Lys751Gln polymorphism. Asp312Asn polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer in additive and recessive genetic models (additive model: OR = 1.68, 95 % CI = 1.28-2.22, P = 0.00; recessive model: OR = 1.65, 95 % CI = 1.27-2.15, P = 0.00). In the subgroup analysis, Asp312Asn polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer among Asians in all three genetic models (additive model: OR = 2.09, 95 % CI = 1.39-3.14, P = 0.00; dominant model: OR = 1.49, 95 % CI = 1.12-1.98, P = 0.01; recessive model: OR = 1.93, 95 % CI = 1.31-2.83, P = 0.00). However, no significant associations were found between Lys751Gln polymorphism and prostate cancer risk in the overall analyses or the subgroup analyses by ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS The results of this meta-analysis indicate that the XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism is a risk factor for prostate cancer development.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 gene (XRCC1) Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp polymorphisms and risk of prostate cancer (PCa). However, the results from the published studies on the association between these two XRCC1 polymorphisms and PCa risk are conflicting. To derive a more precise estimation of association between the XRCC1 polymorphisms and risk of PCa, we performed a meta-analysis. A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all case-control studies of XRCC1 polymorphisms and PCa risk. We used odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the strength of the association. Overall, we found that both Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp polymorphisms were not significantly associated with PCa risk. However, in stratified analysis by ethnicity, we found that the Arg399Gln polymorphism was significantly associated with PCa risk in Asian population (Gln/Gln vs Arg/Arg: OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.05-2.03, P=0.03; Gln/Gln vs Arg/Gln+Arg/Arg: OR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.12-1.95, P=0.01). In this meta-analysis, we found that both Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp polymorphisms were not related to overall PCa risk. However, in subgroup analysis we found a suggestion that XRCC1 399Gln allele might be a low-penetrent risk factor for PCa only in Asian men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND family history of prostate cancer is a risk factor for prostate cancer occurrence. Differently from other neoplasms no major predisposing gene has been identified. MATERIAL AND METHODS this review article presents the controversial results of studies about the prognostic and predictive role of family history in prostate cancer, reports the discovered predisposing genes, and biologic and pathologic findings. RESULTS mortality from PC remains a significant health care problem, but no trial investigated if it changed in presence of positive family history. The largest family study yet published concluded that men with family history are diagnosed and die at earlier ages than men without it. However, it failed to stress the prognostic value of family history. Genome-wide association studies of prostate cancer have identified a number of genetic variants at different loci in different populations. Prostate neoplasms of patients with positive family history exhibit a different pattern of expression of genes related with estrogen and androgen metabolism within the tumor. High-penetrance and low-penetrance genes in diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer, difficulties to define a classification and to quantify relative risks of single genes, documented gene-environment interactions are discussed. CONCLUSION family history stands for both shared genetic and environmental factors and their interaction. The availability of prostate-specific antigen test could explain partly the high familial risk, among brothers or shortly after the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Polymorphisms in genes associated with prostate cancer probably represent the most part of familial prostate cancer burden. An increasing knowledge of disregulated cellular pathways of lethal prostate cancer could define which of all genetic alterations have a role in defining new preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The capacity of an individual to process DNA damage is considered a crucial factor in carcinogenesis. The comet assay is a phenotypic measure of the combined effects of sensitivity to a mutagen exposure and repair capacity. In this paper, we evaluate the association of the DNA repair kinetics, as measured by the comet assay, with prostate cancer risk. In a pilot study of 55 men with prostate cancer, 53 men without the disease, and 71 men free of cancer at biopsy, we investigated the association of DNA damage with prostate cancer risk at early (0-15 min) and later (15-45 min) stages following gamma-radiation exposure. Although residual damage within 45 min was the same for all groups (65% of DNA in comet tail disappeared), prostate cancer cases had a slower first phase (38% vs. 41%) and faster second phase (27% vs. 22%) of the repair response compared to controls. When subjects were categorized into quartiles, according to efficiency of repairing DNA damage, high repair-efficiency within the first 15 min after exposure was not associated with prostate cancer risk while higher at the 15-45 min period was associated with increased risk (OR for highest-to-lowest quartiles=3.24, 95% CI=0.98-10.66, p-trend=0.04). Despite limited sample size, our data suggest that DNA repair kinetics marginally differ between prostate cancer cases and controls. This small difference could be associated with differential responses to DNA damage among susceptible individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent reports hypothesize that multiple variant DNA repair gene interactions influence cancer susceptibility. However, studies identifying high-risk cancer-related genes use single gene approaches that lack the statistical rigor to model higher order interactions. METHODS To address this issue, we systematically evaluated individual and joint modifying effects of commonly studied polymorphic base and nucleotide excision repair genes relative to prostate cancer (PCA) risk using conventional logistic regression models and multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR). We hypothesized that inheriting two or more compromised DNA repair loci may increase PCA risk due to altered gene product function. Six genetic alterations were evaluated using germ-line DNA samples from 208 PCA cases and 665 disease-free controls via TaqMan polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS With the exception of XPD 312, no association existed between individual DNA repair single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and PCA. Individuals with the XPD 312 Asn/Asn genotype had an 8.6-fold increase in risk (OR = 8.59; 95% CI = 1.81-40.66). We did not observe any significant single gene or gene-gene interactions based on MDR modeling. CONCLUSIONS Our findings emphasize the importance of utilizing a combination of traditional and advanced statistical tools to identify and validate single gene and multilocus interactions in relation to cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE DNA repair pathways are crucial to prevent accumulation of DNA damage and maintain genomic stability. Alterations of this pathway have been reported in many cancers. An increase in oxidative DNA damage or decrease in DNA repair capacity with aging or due to germline genetic variation may affect prostate cancer risk. METHODS Pooled data from two population-based studies (1,457 cases and 1,351 controls) were analyzed to examine associations between 28 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in nine DNA repair genes (APEX1, BRCA2, ERCC2, ERCC4, MGMT, MUTYH, OGG1, XPC, and XRCC1) and prostate cancer risk. We also explored whether associations varied by smoking, by family history or clinical features of prostate cancer. RESULTS There were no associations between these SNPs and overall risk of prostate cancer. Risks by genotype also did not vary by smoking or by family history of prostate cancer. Although two SNPs in BRCA2 (rs144848, rs1801406) and two SNPs in ERCC2 (rs1799793, rs13181) showed stronger associations with high Gleason score or advanced-stage tumors when comparing homozygous men carrying the minor versus major allele, results were not statistically significantly different between clinically aggressive and non-aggressive tumors. CONCLUSION Overall, this study found no associations between prostate cancer and the SNPs in DNA repair genes. Given the complexity of this pathway and its crucial role in maintenance of genomic stability, a pathway-based analysis of all 150 genes in DNA repair pathways, as well as exploration of gene-environment interactions may be warranted.

Abstract
O(6)-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) repairs DNA damage caused by alkylating agents including N-nitroso compounds from diet. MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism may lead to less DNA damage repair and increased cancer risk depending on the environmental exposures. We investigated interactions between dietary factors and the MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism in relation to breast, colorectal and prostate cancer risk. There were 276/1498, 273/2984 and 312/1486 cases/controls for the breast, colorectal and prostate cancer studies respectively; all nested within the EPIC-Norfolk study, a prospective cohort of approximately 25,000 men and women aged 40-79. Baseline 7-day food diary data were collected for dietary assessment. MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism was not overall associated with breast, colorectal and prostate cancer risk. There was a significant interaction between this polymorphism and intake of red and processed meat on colorectal cancer risk (P(interaction)=0.04) suggesting an increased risk among carriers of the variant genotype compared to the MGMT Ile143Ile common genotype. A lower colorectal cancer risk was seen with higher intake of vitamin E and carotene among the variant genotype group but not in the common genotype group (P(interaction)=0.009 and P(interaction)=0.005 for vitamin E and carotene, respectively). A higher prostate cancer risk was seen with higher alcohol intake among the variant genotype (OR=2.08, 95% CI=1.21-3.57, P(interaction)=0.0009) compared to the common genotype with lower alcohol intake. In this UK population, the MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism was not overall associated with breast, colorectal and prostate cancer risk. There was evidence for this polymorphism playing a role in modulating the risk of prostate cancer in presence of alcohol. For colorectal cancer, the MGMT Ile143Val polymorphism may confer increased or decreased risk depending on the dietary exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether polymorphisms in genes involved in the repair of oxidative DNA damage, modulate, and/or interact with antioxidants to influence prostate cancer risk in a population-based case-control study in Central Arkansas. Accumulating evidence indicates that oxidative stress plays a role in prostate carcinogenesis. METHODS Cases (n = 193) included men aged 40-80 years, diagnosed with prostate cancer in 3 major hospitals in 1998-2003, and controls (n = 197) were matched to cases by age, race, and county of residence. RESULTS After adjustment for confounders, subjects who were heterozygous or homozygous for the variant allele of the hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism appeared to experience a lower risk of prostate cancer than those who were homozygous for the wild-type allele (odds ratio [OR] (95% confidence interval [CI]): 0.72 (0.46-1.10)]. Conversely, a significant increased risk was observed for individuals who carried 1 or 2 copies of the variant allele of the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism, compared with those who only harbored the wild-type allele (OR [95% CI]: 1.56 [1.01-2.45]). The above-mentioned associations were generally more pronounced among subjects with low plasma carotenoids or alpha-tocopherol (<median). Among subjects who had low plasma levels of beta-cryptoxanthin (<73 microg/L), possession of at least 1 copy of the XRCC1 399Gln allele conferred a greater than 2-fold elevated risk (OR [95% CI]: 2.64 [1.40-5.07]). CONCLUSIONS Our study offers preliminary but intriguing data suggesting that variability in the capacity of repairing oxidative DNA damage influences susceptibility to prostate cancer and that these effects are modified by antioxidants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes may impact on DNA damage, and cancer risk. To elucidate the role of SNPs in DNA repair genes in prostate cancer (PC) we conducted a case-control study comprising of 118 Caucasian men affected with late onset PC and 132 age-matched healthy controls from South Australia. METHODS AND MATERIALS We examined the association between PC risk with nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) in 5 genes involved in 3 DNA-repair pathways: (1) base excision repair (BER): hOGG1 C1245G (Ser326Cys) and XRCC1 G28152A (Arg399Gln); (2) nucleotide excision repair (NER): XPD G23591A (Asp312Asn); (3) homologous recombination repair: RAD51 G135C (in 5' untranslated region) and XRCC3 C18067T (Thr241Met). RESULTS Prostate cancer risk was significantly increased only for carriers of the G allele of the C1245G polymorphism in the hOGG1 gene (OR = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.36-3.83; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that this common nsSNP in a gene involved in repair of oxidative damage to DNA may contribute to PC susceptibility in South Australian men.

Abstract
O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase is one of the rare proteins to directly remove alkylating agents in the human DNA direct reversal repair pathway. Its two common single-nucleotide polymorphisms, Leu84Phe and Ile143Val, had previously been identified to contribute to susceptibility of cancer. However, there are conflicting results in studies on the association of the two polymorphisms with cancer. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the paradox with a large collected sample (13,069 cancer patients and 20,290 controls). We found significant association between the T allele (84Phe) and cancer risk, under the recessive genetic model [P = 0.023, odds ratio (OR) = 1.251, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.031-1.517, P(heterogeneity) = 0.270], TT versus CC comparison (P = 0.035, OR = 1.239, 95% CI 1.015-1.511, P(heterogeneity) = 0.225) and TT versus CT comparison (P = 0.007, OR = 1.292, 95% CI 1.071-1.559, P(heterogeneity) = 0.374), using the random-effect model. In the ethnicity subgroup analysis, a significant association with cancer among Caucasians was found under the recessive genetic model, homozygote comparison and TT versus TC comparison. In the tumour sites subgroup analysis, only the protective effects of Leu84Phe polymorphism were found in colorectal cancer, under CT versus CC comparison. No significant association between the G allele of Ile143Val and cancer risk was found. The G allele showed an increased lung cancer risk under the dominant genetic model and AG versus AA comparison in all Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium subjects, only when the fixed-effect model was used. However, it was insignificant in the random-effect model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between x-ray cross-complementing gene 1 (XRCC1) genetic polymorphism Arg399Gln and prostate cancer risk using a meta-analysis. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all case-control studies of XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and prostate cancer risk. Statistical analysis was performed using the software program Review Manage, version 4.2, and STATA, version 8.0. RESULTS We identified 7 eligible reports, 1733 prostate cancer cases, and 1756 controls. No significant associations were observed between XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and the risk of prostate cancer in worldwide populations, without any between-study heterogeneity. In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, our results indicated a significant association and recessive genetic mode of XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism with prostate cancer risk in Asian subjects. Asians with the variant Gln/Gln allele were about 43% more likely to have prostate cancer than were those with the genotype Arg/Gln or Arg/Arg. However, our results also suggested that XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism was not significantly associated with prostate cancer in white men. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present meta-analysis have indicated that the XRCC1 codon 399 Gln allele might act as a recessive allele in its association with prostate cancer risk in Asians only.

Abstract
The specific causes of prostate cancer are not known. However, multiple etiologic factors, including genetic profile, metabolism of steroid hormones, nutrition, chronic inflammation, family history of prostate cancer, and environmental exposures are thought to play significant roles. Variations in exposure to these risk factors may explain interindividual differences in prostate cancer risk. However, regardless of the precise mechanism(s), a robust DNA repair capacity may mitigate any risks conferred by mutations from these risk factors. Numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes have been found, and studies of these SNPs and prostate cancer risk are critical to understanding the response of prostate cells to DNA damage. A few SNPs in DNA repair genes are associated with significantly increased risk of prostate cancer; however, in most cases, the effects are moderate and often depend upon interactions among the risk alleles of several genes in a pathway or with other environmental risk factors. This report reviews the published epidemiologic literature on the association of SNPs in genes involved in DNA repair pathways and prostate cancer risk.

Abstract
Biliary tract cancers, which encompass tumors of the gallbladder, extrahepatic ducts, and ampulla of Vater, are relatively rare tumors with a high fatality rate. Other than a close link with gallstones, the etiology of biliary tract cancers is poorly understood. We conducted a population-based case-control study in Shanghai, China, to examine whether genetic variants in several DNA repair genes are associated with biliary tract cancers or biliary stones. Genomic DNA from 410 patients with biliary tract cancers (236 gallbladder, 127 bile duct, and 47 ampulla of Vater), 891 patients with biliary stones, and 786 healthy subjects randomly selected from the Shanghai population were genotyped for putative functional single nucleotide polymorphisms in four DNA repair genes (MGMT, RAD23B, CCNH, and XRCC3). Of the five single nucleotide polymorphisms examined, only one (MGMT EX5-25C>T, rs12917) was associated with biliary tract cancer. Independent of gallstones, subjects carrying the CT genotype of the MGMT EX5-25C>T marker had a significantly reduced risk of gallbladder cancer [odds ratio (OR), 0.63; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.41-0.97; P = 0.02] and nonsignificant reduced risks of bile duct (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.35-1.06) and ampulla of Vater (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.39-1.87) cancers. However, this marker was not associated with biliary stones, and the other markers examined were not significantly associated with either biliary tract cancers or stones. Findings from this population-based study in Shanghai suggest that MGMT gene variants may alter susceptibility to biliary tract cancer, particularly gallbladder cancer. Confirmation in future studies, however, is required.

Abstract
Genetic variations in the XPD gene may increase cancer susceptibility by affecting the capacity for DNA repair. Several studies have investigated this possibility; however, the conclusions remain controversial. Therefore, we did a systematic review and executed a meta-analysis to explore the association. From 56 studies, a total of 61 comparisons included 25,932 cases and 27,733 controls concerning the Lys 751Gln polymorphism; 35 comparisons included 16,781 cases and 18,879 controls in the case of Asp 312 Asn were reviewed. In this analysis, small associations of the XPD Lys 751 Gln polymorphism with cancer risk for esophageal cancer [for Lys/Gln versus Lys/Lys: odds ratio (OR), 1.34; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.10-1.64; for Gln/Gln versus Lys/Lys: OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.16-2.25] and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (for Gln/Gln versus Lys/Lys: OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.21-2.75) are revealed. Overall, individuals with the Gln/Gln genotype have a small cancer risk compared with Lys/Lys genotype for the reviewed cancer in total (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03-1.16). Subtle but significant cancer risk was observed for the XPD Asp 312 Asn polymorphism in bladder cancer (for Asp/Asn versus Asp/Asp: OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.06-1.46). No significant associations were found for other cancers separately and all the reviewed cancer in total assessed for the Asp 312 Asn polymorphism. Our study suggests that XPD is a candidate gene for cancer susceptibility regardless of environmental factors.

Abstract
American men have a lifetime risk of about 18% for prostate cancer diagnosis. Large international variations in prostate cancer risks and increased risks among migrants from low- to high-risk countries indicate important roles for environmental factors. Major known risk factors include age, family history, and country/ethnicity. Type 2 diabetes appears to reduce risk, while high birth weight and adult height are linked to increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Limited evidence supports an association with a history of sexually transmitted infections. A previous meta-analysis of eight cohort studies indicated no associations with plasma androgen, estrogen, or sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels. However, there were dose-response relationships with baseline plasma testosterone levels in two studies that adjusted for other serum hormones and obesity. Finasteride (a drug that blocks testosterone activation) reduced prostate cancer risk by 25%. Low-frequency genes linked to familial prostate cancer only explain a small fraction of all cases. Sporadic cases were linked to relatively common polymorphisms of genes involved in (1) androgen synthesis, activation, inactivation and excretion, (2) hormone and vitamin D receptors, (3) carcinogen metabolism, and (4) DNA repair. Epidemiologic evidence supports protective roles for dietary selenium, vitamin E, pulses, tomatoes/lycopene, and soy foods, and high plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels. There is inadequate evidence that vegetables, fruit, carotenoids, and vitamins A and C reduce risk and that animal fat, alpha-linoleic acid, meat, coffee, and tea increase risk. Two major cohort studies found dose-response relationships with dietary calcium intake. Total dietary energy intake may enhance risk. Limited evidence supports a protective role for physical activity and elevated risk for farmers and other men with occupational pesticide exposure, particularly to organochlorine compounds and phenoxy herbicides. There is inadequate evidence for a relationship with alcohol or smoking. Most known or suspected external risk factors may act through hormonal mechanisms, but our review found little supporting evidence, and substantial further research is needed.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is a common malignancy that disproportionately affects African-American men. Environmental factors and variation in genes responsible for chemical and dietary carcinogen metabolism and DNA damage repair may modulate risk. Fourteen single nucleotide polymorphisms in NAT2 and four NER genes (ERCC1, XPF/ERCC4, XPG/ERCC5 and CSB/ERCC6) were genotyped in a case-control study of 254 African-American prostate cancer cases and 301 healthy controls from Washington, DC. Smoking status, BMI, age and genetic ancestry were included as covariates in the association analyses. We found that individuals homozygous for the XPG/ERCC5 -72C/T promoter polymorphism had a significant reduction in risk, for prostate cancer (OR=0.12; 95% CI=0.03-0.48). A haplotype trend regression test also revealed a protective effect for the haplotype bearing the T allele (P=0.003). In silica analyses suggest a functional implication for the promoter variant since it deletes a GCF transcriptional factor-binding site responsible for the downregulation of transcription. The protective effect of the promoter SNP on risk for prostate cancer was independent of smoking. In contrast, none of the SNPs typed for NAT2, ERCC1, ERCC4 and ERCC6 showed significant association with risk. Additional tests for genotype interactions were not significant. We note that there may be other factors, such as dietary exposures, which may modulate prostate cancer risk in combination with genetic variation within the NAT2 and NER genes. Our results, in combination with previous observations of LOH for ERCC5 in prostate tumors, provide further evidence for a role of XPG/ERCC5 in the etiology of prostate cancer.

Abstract
The human DNA repair protein O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) is an important source of resistance to some therapeutic alkylating agents and attempts to circumvent this resistance by the use of hAGT inhibitors have reached clinical trials. Several human polymorphisms in the MGMT gene that encodes hAGT have been described including L84F and the linked double alteration I143V/K178R. We have investigated the inactivation of these variants and the much rarer variant W65C by O(6)-benzylguanine, which is currently in clinical trials, and a number of other second generation hAGT inhibitors that contain folate derivatives (O(4)-benzylfolic acid, the 3' and 5' folate esters of O(6)-benzyl-2'-deoxyguanosine and the folic acid gamma ester of O(6)-(p-hydroxymethyl)benzylguanine). The I143V/K178R variant was resistant to all of these compounds. The resistance was due solely to the I143V change. These results suggest that the frequency of the I143V/K178R variant among patients in the clinical trials with hAGT inhibitors and the correlation with response should be considered.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the association among XRCC1 polymorphisms, smoking, drinking and the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in men from Han, Southern China. METHODS In a case-control study of 207 patients with PCa and 235 cancer-free controls, frequency-matched by age, we genotyped three XRCC1 polymorphisms (codons 194, 280 and 399) using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RELP) method. RESULTS Among the three polymorphisms, we found that the XRCC1 Arg399Gln variant allele was associated with increased PCa risk (adjusted odd ratio [OR]: 1.67, 95% confident interval [CI]: 1.11-2.51), but the XRCC1 Arg194Trp variant allele had a 38% reduction in risk of PCa (adjusted OR: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.41-0.93). However, there was no significant risk of PCa associated with Arg280His polymorphism. When we evaluated the three polymorphisms together, we found that the individuals with 194Arg/Arg wild-type genotype, Arg280His and Arg399Gln variant genotypes had a significantly higher risk of PCa (adjusted OR: 4.31; 95% CI: 1.24-14.99) than those with three wild-type genotypes. In addition, we found that Arg399Gln variant genotypes had a significant risk of PCa among heavy smokers (adjusted OR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.03-4.05). CONCLUSION These results suggest that polymorphisms of XRCC1 appear to influence the risk of PCa and may modify risks attributable to environmental exposure.

Abstract
The DNA repair protein, O(6)-methylguanine DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) prevents mutations and cell death that result from aberrant alkylation of DNA. The polymorphic variants Leu84Phe, Ile143Val, and Lys178Arg are frequent in the human population. We review here studies of these and other MGMT polymorphisms and their association with risk for lung, breast, colorectal and endometrial cancer with a consideration of gene-environment interactions. In addition, we review studies of the effects of polymorphic variation on alkyltransferase activity and expression. It is formally possible that polymorphic variation could modify functions of MGMT other than its alkyltransferase activity. While it was previously reported that an alkylated form of MGMT modifies Estrogen Receptor alpha activity, from our studies we conclude that this regulation is not a major function of MGMT. Overall, the effects of polymorphic variation on protein function are subtle, and further investigation is required to provide a comprehensive mechanism that explains the observed associations of these variants with risk for cancer.

Abstract
This article summarizes the current understanding of known variant forms of the MGMT gene that encode an altered protein. Epidemiological studies have been carried out to test whether these alterations are associated with altered cancer risk. Laboratory studies using recombinant proteins and cells expressing the known variants have investigated the possible effects of these sequence alterations on the ability of the encoded O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase protein to protect cells from alkylation damage and to respond to therapeutic inactivators currently undergoing trials for cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Genetically modified mouse models are a powerful approach to study the relation of a single gene-deletion to processes such as mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. The generation of base excision repair (BER) deficient mouse models has resulted in a re-examination of the cellular defence mechanisms that exist to counteract DNA base damage. This review discusses novel insights into the relation between specific gene-deletions and the organ and cell specificity of visible and molecular phenotypes, including accumulation of base lesions in genomic DNA and carcinogenesis. Although promising models exist, there is still a need for new models. These models should comprise combined deficiencies of DNA glycosylases which initiate the BER pathway, to elaborate on the repair redundancy, as well as conditional models of the intermediate steps of BER.
