Abstract
Background Though the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are widely investigated in lung cancer (LC), however, almost no review systematically clarify their multi-faced roles in LC. Methods We investigated the expression of MMPs and their effects on survival of patients with LC, the resistance mechanisms of MMPs in anti-tumor therapy, the regulatory networks of MMPs involved, the function of MMPs inducing CSCLs, MMPs-related tumor immunity, and effects of MMP polymorphisms on risk of LC. Results High expression of MMPs was mainly related to poor survival, high clinical stages and cancer metastasis. Role of MMPs in LC are multi-faced. MMPs are involved in drug resistance, induced CSCLs, participated in tumor immunity. Besides, MMPs polymorphisms may increase risk of LC. Conclusions MMPs might be promising targets to restore the anti-tumor immune response and enhance the killing function of nature immune cells in LC.

Abstract
AIM There is very little literature reporting the association of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) with personal susceptibility to bladder cancer. In the current study, we carried out the first examination of the contribution of MMP1 rs1799750 to bladder cancer risk in Taiwanese. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 375 bladder cancer cases and 375 healthy controls were genotyped for MMP1 rs1799750 via polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology and this was evaluated for association with clinicopathological factors. RESULTS The frequencies of MMP1 rs1799750 2G/2G, 1G/2G, and 1G/1G genotypes were 35.7%, 44.8% and 19.5% in the group with bladder cancer and 32.5%, 46.4%, and 21.1% in the healthy control group (p for trend=0.6362). The odds ratios (ORs) for bladder cancer risk after adjusting for age and gender for those carrying 1G/2G and 1G/1G genotypes at MMP1 rs1799750 were 0.88 (95% CI=0.62-1.24, p=0.4357) and 0.83 (95% CI=0.61-1.26, p=0.3990), respectively, compared with the wild-type 2G/2G genotype. In allelic frequency analysis, the adjusted OR for those carrying the 1G allele at MMP1 rs1799750 was 0.87 (95% CI=0.71-1.23, p=0.3479) compared to those people carrying a 2G allele. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that the genotypes at MMP1 rs1799750 appear to play little role in determining personal susceptibility to bladder cancer for Taiwanese.

New Insights on Old Biomarkers Involved in Tumor Microenvironment Changes and Their Diagnostic Relevance in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma. Biomolecules 2021; 11:1208. [PMID: 34439874 PMCID: PMC8391392 DOI: 10.3390/biom11081208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a multifactorial disease with a heterogeneous tumor group that hampers diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, as well as understanding of the processes that underlie its pathogenesis. Current research efforts are focused on examining alterations in the tumor microenvironment, which may affect the pathogenesis and further malignant progression in lung cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the levels of biomarkers involved in the lung tumor microenvironment and their diagnostic utility in differentiating lung cancer subtypes and stages. METHODS This study comprised 112 lung cancer patients, 50 with adenocarcinoma, 35 with squamous cell carcinoma, 13 with other non-small cell lung carcinoma subtypes, and 14 with other lung neoplasms than non-small cell lung carcinoma. Tumor markers (CEA, CYFRA 21-1, and NSE) were measured in the patients' sera and plasmas, along with IL-6, TNF-α, SAA1, CRP, MMP-2, MMP-9, glucose, lactate, and LDH, utilizing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, enzyme immunoassays, and automated clinical chemistry and turbidimetry systems. The results were statistically analyzed across patient groups based on the subtype and stage of lung cancer. RESULTS Glucose concentrations showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences both between lung cancer subtypes and stages, with the highest levels in patients with other lung neoplasms (me = 130.5 mg/dL) and in patients with stage IIB lung cancer (me = 132.0 mg/dL). In patients with advanced lung cancer, IL-6 and LDH had considerably higher concentration and activity. There was also a significant positive correlation between IL-6 and MMP-9 in adenocarcinoma and SqCC, with correlation coefficients of 0.53 and 0.49, respectively. The ROC analyses showed that the best single biomarkers for distinguishing adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma are glucose, CRP, and CYFRA 21-1; however, their combination did not significantly improve sensitivity, specificity, and the AUC value. The combinations of IL-6, glucose, LDH and CEA, IL-6, SAA1, MMP-9, and lactate can distinguish patients with stage IIB lung cancer from those with stage IIA with 100% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and with an AUC value of 0.8333 and 1.0000, respectively, whereas the combination of CEA, IL-6, and LDH can identify patients with stage IIIA lung cancer from those with stage IIB with 72.73% sensitivity, 94.44% specificity, and an AUC value of 0.8686. CONCLUSION There is a link between biomarkers of tumor microenvironment changes and tumor markers, and combinations of these markers may be clinically useful in the differential diagnosis of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, as well as lung cancer stages IIB and IIA, and IIIA and IIB.

Abstract
RATIONALE Macrophage elastase (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-12) is a potent protease that contributes to the lung destruction that accompanies cigarette smoking; it simultaneously inhibits lung tumor angiogenesis and metastasis by catalyzing the formation of antiangiogenic peptides. Recent studies have revealed novel nonproteolytic functions of MMP12, including antimicrobial activity through a peptide within its C-terminal domain (CTD). OBJECTIVES To determine whether the MMP12 CTD contributes to its antitumor activity in lung cancer. METHODS We used recombinant MMP12 peptide fragments, including its catalytic domain, CTD, and a 20 amino acid peptide within the CTD (SR20), in an in vitro system to delineate their effects on non-small cell lung cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. We translated our findings to two murine models of lung cancer, including orthotopic human xenograft and KrasLSL/G12D mouse models of lung cancer. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We show that SR20 triggers tumor apoptosis by up-regulation of gene expression of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptor, death receptor 4, sensitizing cells to an autocrine loop of TRAIL-mediated cell death. We then demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of SR20 against two murine models of lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS The MMP12 CTD initiates TRAIL-mediated tumor cell death through its conserved SR20 peptide.

Abstract
Certain common inherited variations in genes involved in tumor angiogenesis, progression and metastasis may contribute to cancer therapy outcome and prognosis by altering the gene expression and protein activity. In this report, we examined the effect of functional polymorphisms in MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, VEGF, VEGFR2, FGFR4 and COX-2 genes on overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of 350 Caucasian patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The results of multivariate analysis indicated that VEGFR2 -906C and COX-2 -1195G alleles were strongly associated with poor OS and PFS (p = 0.002 and 0.015, respectively, for OS; p = 0.009 and 0.015, respectively, for PFS), while MMP-2 -1306 T allele carriers had significantly reduced PFS (p = 0.010). Moreover, an increased risk of death and progression was significantly associated with the number of adverse alleles for VEGFR2/COX-2 (p = 0.0005 for OS and 0.0006 for PFS in >1 adverse allele carriers) and VEGFR2/COX-2/MMP-2 combinations (p = 0.0003 for OS and 0.0001 for PFS in patients with >2 adverse alleles). Finally, VEGFR2 TC/CC, COX-2 AG/GG and MMP-2 CT/TT genotypes as well as "at risk" allele combinations were identified as independent predictors of unfavorable OS and PFS in the group. In conclusion, the data suggest that selected VEGFR2, COX-2 and MMP-2 polymorphisms may be potential prognostic markers in unresectable NSCLC treated with radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy, although further validation studies are warranted to confirm our observations.

Abstract
RATIONALE Metabolic alterations contribute to cancer development and progression. However, the molecular mechanisms relating metabolism to cancer metastasis remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVES To identify a key metabolic enzyme that is aberrantly overexpressed in invasive lung cancer cells and to investigate its functional role and prognostic value in lung cancer. METHODS The differential expression of metabolic enzymes in noninvasive CL1-0 cells and invasive CL1-5 cells was analyzed by a gene expression microarray. The expression of target genes in clinical specimens from patients with lung cancer was examined by immunohistochemistry. Pharmacologic and gene knockdown/overexpression approaches were used to investigate the function of the target gene during invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. The association between the target gene expression and clinicopathologic parameters was further analyzed. Bioinformatic analyses were used to discover the signaling pathways involved in target gene-regulated invasion and migration. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Squalene synthase (SQS) was up-regulated in CL1-5 cells and in the tumor regions of the lung cancer specimens. Loss of function or knockdown of SQS significantly inhibited invasion/migration and metastasis in cell and animal models and vice versa. High expression of SQS was significantly associated with poor prognosis among patients with lung cancer. Mechanistically, SQS contributed to a lipid-raft-localized enrichment of tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 in a cholesterol-dependent manner, which resulted in the enhancement of nuclear factor-κB activation leading to matrix metallopeptidase 1 up-regulation. CONCLUSIONS Up-regulation of SQS promotes metastasis of lung cancer by enhancing tumor necrosis factor-α receptor 1 and nuclear factor-κB activation and matrix metallopeptidase 1 expression. Targeting SQS may have considerable potential as a novel therapeutic strategy to treat metastatic lung cancer.

Abstract
Background Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that contribute to all stages of tumour progression, including the later stages of invasion and metastasis. Genetic variants in the MMP genes may influence the biological function of these enzymes and change their role in carcinogenesis and progression. We have investigated the association between the -735 C/T, the -1171 5A/6A, and the -1562 C/T polymorphisms in the MMP2, MMP3 and MMP9 genes, respectively, and the risk and survival of lung cancer. Methods The case-control study includes 879 lung cancer patients and 803 controls from a Caucasian population in Spain (CAPUA study). Genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using unconditional logistic regression. The Kaplan-Meier method, long-rank test and Cox's were used for the survival analysis. Results The MMP9 -1562 T/T genotype was associated with a statistically significant decreased risk of developing lung cancer (OR = 0.23; 95% CI: 0.06-0.85), whereas no association was found for the MMP2 -735 C/T and MMP3 -1171 5A/6A polymorphisms. The MMP2 -735 T/T genotype was statistically significantly associated with a decreased survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, identified as an independent prognosis factor of survival (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.79; 95% CI: 1.00-3.20). In contrast, no association was found between the MMP3 -1171 5A/6A and the MMP9 -1562 C/T polymorphisms and survival. Conclusions These findings support the hypothesis that the MMP9 -1562 C/T polymorphism is associated with a protective effect against the development of lung cancer and suggest that the MMP2 -735 C/T polymorphism modify the length of survival in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the development of cancers including malignant melanoma (MM) and breast cancer. We tested the possible association of MMP1 and MMP8 gene variation with these two types of cancer. We genotyped 300 unselected patients with MM, 300 consecutive breast cancer cases, 300 controls for melanoma, and 300 controls for breast cancer (age-matched and sex-matched healthy adults with negative cancer family histories). Our study showed that the MMP8 gene rs11225395 polymorphism was associated with the risk of developing MM (odds ratio: 1.69; 95% confidence interval: 1.02-2.80; P=0.040) for the A/A genotype and 1.49 (95% confidence interval: 1.03-2.17; P=0.035) for the A/G genotype compared with the G/G genotype. The A allele was over-represented among MM cases compared with controls (odds ratio=1.54; P=0.017). In-vitro assays showed that the A allele had a higher promoter activity than the G allele in melanoma cells. No association was detected between this variant and breast cancer susceptibility. We found no strong association between MMP1 variation and the risk of MM or breast cancer. The finding of this study indicates an influence of MMP8 gene variation on melanoma susceptibility.

Abstract
Macrophages play a key role in tumor-associated pulmonary inflammation that supports proliferation of tumor cells and promotes lung tumor growth. Although increased numbers of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are linked to poor prognosis in lung cancer patients, little is known regarding the transcriptional mechanisms controlling recruitment of macrophages during lung tumorigenesis. Forkhead Box m1 (Foxm1) transcription factor is induced in multiple cell types within tumor lesions and its increased expression is associated with poor prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinomas. To determine the role of Foxm1 in recruitment of TAM, a mouse line with macrophage-specific Foxm1 deletion was generated (macFoxm1−/−). Lung tumorigenesis was induced using a MCA/BHT tumor initiation/promotion protocol. Ablation of Foxm1 in macrophages reduced the number and size of lung tumors in macFoxm1−/− mice. Decreased tumorigenesis was associated with diminished proliferation of tumor cells and decreased recruitment of macrophages during the early stages of tumor formation. Expression levels of pro-inflammatory genes iNOS, Cox-2, IL-1b and IL-6, as well as migration related genes MIP-1α, MIP-2 and MMP-12, were decreased in macrophages isolated from macFoxm1−/− mice. Migration of Foxm1-deficient macrophages was reduced in vitro. The chemokine receptors responsible for monocyte recruitment to the lung, CX3CR1 and CXCR4, were decreased in Foxm1-deficient monocytes. In co-transfection experiments, Foxm1 directly bound to and transcriptionally activated CX3CR1 promoter. Adoptive transfer of wild type monocytes to macFoxm1−/− mice restored BHT-induced pulmonary inflammation to the levels observed in control mice. Expression of Foxm1 in macrophages is required for pulmonary inflammation, recruitment of macrophages into tumor sites and lung tumor growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is well known for its critical role in cell survival and cancer development. It also plays an important role in hematopoietic recovery after chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression. In this study, the authors investigated the association of MMP-2 polymorphisms with treatment efficacy and the occurrence of severe toxicity in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were receiving first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy. METHODS A pharmacogenetic association study was performed in 663 Chinese patients who had inoperable stage III/IV NSCLC and were receiving first-line, platinum-based regimens. Information about objective response, progression-free survival, overall survival, grade 3 or 4 gastrointestinal toxicity (nausea/vomiting), and hematologic toxicity (neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia) was available. Sixteen tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MMP-2 were assessed. RESULTS In 7 polymorphisms, significant associations were observed with the incidence of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia. The variant homozygotes of reference SNP rs12934241 exhibited the most significant effect on the risk of neutropenia, leading to an incidence rate that increased from 12.3% (for the C/C genotype) to 50% (for the T/T genotype; odds ratio, 8.33; P = 8.8 × 10(-5)). Stratified analyses indicated that rs12934241 exhibited a much stronger influence in the cisplatin-gemcitabine regimen subgroup than subgroups that received other regimens (P(interaction) = .003). Further haplotype analyses produced results that were consistent with results from single-SNP analyses. However, no significant association was observed between MMP-2 polymorphisms and treatment efficacy, including response rate, clinical benefit, progression-free survival, and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS To the authors' knowledge, this study provides the first evidence for a predictive role of MMP-2 polymorphisms in the variability of severe chemotherapy-related neutropenia among Chinese patients with platinum-treated, advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Diosgenyl and pennogenyl saponins isolated from Rhizoma Paridis, showed pro-apoptosis and immunoregulation with antitumor activity in cultured cells and animal systems. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate their anti-metastatic mechanism on cancer cells and discuss their structure-activity relationship on anti-tumor effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research used the wound healing and migration assay to detect their anti-invasive effect on B16 melanoma cells. Through the gelatin zymography assay, immunofluorescence analysis and western blot, saponins exhibited different levels of protein expression inhibition of MMP-1, -2, -3, -9 and -14. RESULTS Through the analysis, diosgenyl and pennogenyl saponins inhibited the metastasis of B16 melanoma cells. Diosgenyl saponins also showed strong suppression of enzyme activity of MMP-2 and -9. Different saponins exhibited different levels of inhibition on MMP expression. CONCLUSIONS 17-α OH increases the sensitivity of diosgenyl saponins to the membrane-bound protease which can stimulate proMMP-2 activation, but it also decreases the anti-metastatic activity of diosgenyl saponin. Furthermore, their combination might provide a potential therapeutic modality for metastasis.

Abstract
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma demonstrated considerable variability in its chemoresponse. However, the prospect of individualized medicine holds high hopes for improving patient survival. The study of tumor and patient genetic profiles, relative to drug-related genes, may offer new opportunities for tailoring treatments. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-containing endopeptidases, which degrade the extracellular matrix and basement membrane, and process bioactive mediators involved in promoting aspects of tumor growth. Polymorphisms in MMP genes known to influence the protein-expression patterns has been shown to influence therapy outcomes by altering signaling pathways. In this article, we address the polymorphic association of MMPs in response to chemotherapy in non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Advances in genome technology and their comprehensive and systematic deployment to elucidate the genomic basis of MMP differences promise to ultimately enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy while reducing its toxicity for the treatment of various cancers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lung cancer is the leading global cause of cancer-related mortality. Interindividual variability in treatment response and cancer outcomes has focused attention on genetic polymorphisms as prognostic markers. We evaluated the overall contribution of candidate polymorphism association studies to our current understanding of the genetic predictors of lung cancer outcomes. METHODS We examined the results of 90 studies that evaluated associations between genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer outcomes published between January 1990 and May 2009. RESULTS A total of 170 genetic variations in 90 studies were identified. Overall survival was a primary outcome in 81% of the studies and toxicity in 19%. Candidate polymorphisms in the DNA repair/synthesis pathway were the most frequently studied. Strong evidence in large-scale confirmatory studies of any single polymorphism was lacking. Polymorphisms of EGFR, XRCC1, and ERCC1 were associated with pharmacogenetic outcomes, whereas polymorphisms of MDM2, p53, and GSTM1 were associated with prognostic outcomes. All remaining polymorphisms had results lacking or failing replication testing. Heterogeneity in study populations, incomplete reporting of important population or study characteristics, inadequate power, and inconsistencies in methodology were common. CONCLUSIONS Although the quality of existing studies involving the candidate polymorphism approach is highly variable, a small set of candidate polymorphisms was identified as potential biomarkers of clinical or pharmacogenetic outcome and would benefit from further replication testing. Newer approaches including haplotype tagging, pathway, genome-wide association, and combination methods with validative approaches may facilitate a more accurate prediction of lung cancer outcomes by genetic variation.

Differential matrix metalloproteinase levels in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2010; 139:984-90; discussion 990.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the aggressive course of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there are a large number of MMP subtypes with diverse proteolytic substrates and different induction pathways. This study tested the hypothesis that a differential MMP profile would exist between NSCLC and normal lung and that MMP patterns would differ between NSCLC histologic types. METHODS NSCLC samples and remote normal samples were obtained from patients with stage I or II NSCLC with either squamous cell (n = 22) or adenocarcinoma (n = 19) histologic characteristics. Absolute concentrations for each of the MMP subclasses were determined by a calibrated and validated multiplex suspension array: collagenases (MMP-1, -8, and -13), gelatinases (MMP-2 and -9), lysins (MMP-2 and -7), and elastase (MMP-12). RESULTS Overall, MMP levels were significantly increased in NSCLC compared with normal. For example, MMP-1 and MMP-7 increased by approximately 10-fold in NSCLC (P < .05). Moreover, a different MMP portfolio was observed between NSCLC histologic types. For example MMP-1, -8, -9, and -12 increased by more than 4-fold in squamous cell versus adenocarcinoma (P < .05). In those patients who had recurrence within 3 years of resection, 3-fold higher levels of MMP-8 and -9 were observed (P < .05). CONCLUSION Increased levels of a number of MMP types occur with NSCLC, but the MMP profile was distinctly different between histologic types and in those patients with recurrence. These different MMP profiles may be important in the mechanistic basis for the natural history of different NSCLC types, as well as identifying potential prognostic and therapeutic targets.

Abstract
HER2 overexpression is associated with metastasis-the main cause of death in individuals with gastric cancer. In this study, we demonstrated that vector-based shRNA significantly knocked down the expression of HER2 and considerably inhibited both the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. HER2 knockdown resulted in the downregulation of the expression of MMP-1, while HER2 overexpression improved the transcription of MMP-1 through the activation of an MMP-1 promoter. The promoter region of MMP-1 between -2500 and -2000 bp was found to be crucial for the upregulation of HER2-mediated transcription. Furthermore, a truncated promoter (-70 to+63) did not display any transcriptional activity. Cell invasion activity was almost completely inhibited when MMP-1 was knocked down. Conversely, the overexpression of MMP-1 partly rescued the invasion ability of cell strains with knocked-down HER2. These findings help further understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which HER2 promotes malignancy, and suggest that targeting both HER2 and MMP-1 may be required to effectively block HER2 signaling in gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a crucial role in cancer progression and their over-expression is often associated with unfavorable survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Because genetic variants can alter expression level or biological activity of MMPs, we hypothesized that potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in key MMP genes may be associated with the survival of NSCLC patients. We selected and genotyped 14 putative functional SNPs in six MMP genes (MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP9 and MMP12) using PCR-RFLP methods in 561 NSCLC patients. Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard models were used for the survival analyses. The C-1562T, Arg279Gln and Arg668Gln polymorphisms in MMP9 were significantly associated with survival of patients with NSCLC (log-rank p values = 0.032, 0.038 and 0.036, respectively). The C-1562T and Arg668Gln loci were in complete linkage disequilibrium (r(2) = 1). Patients carrying the 668Gln allele had improved survival with a median survival time (MST) of 51.6 months, compared with 21.8 months for those with the 668Arg/Arg genotype (log-rank p = 0.010). In contrast, the 279Gln/Gln genotype was associated with a significantly shortened MST (17.3 months, log-rank p = 0.030) in the recessive model. In the final multivariate Cox regression model, 279Gln/Gln was identified as an independent prognostic factor with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.60 (95% confidence interval 1.07-2.41). The MMP9 Arg279Gln and Arg668Gln SNPs are potential predictors of survival in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) degrade various components of the extracellular matrix, and their overexpression has been implicated in tumor progression. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) lead to amino acid substitutions that can alter the function of the encoded protein. We evaluated the associations of six nonsynonymous SNPs in the MMP3, MMP8, and MMP9 genes with skin cancer risk in a nested case-control study of Caucasians within the Nurses' Health Study among 218 melanoma cases, 285 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cases, 300 basal cell carcinoma (BCC) cases, and 870 normal controls. We observed that the MMP9 Arg668Gln polymorphism was significantly associated with a decreased risk of SCC. Compared with the Arg/Arg group, the multivariate odds ratio was 0.67 (95% confidence interval, 0.47-0.97) for the Arg/Gln group and 0.21 (95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.97) for the Gln/Gln group (P(trend) = 0.004). We did not observe any association of this SNP with the risks of melanoma and basal cell carcinoma. No associations were found for other SNPs with skin cancer risk. This study provides evidence for the contribution of the MMP9 Arg668Gln to SCC development.

Abstract
Background Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) constitute a family of enzymes capable of degrading different components of the extracellular matrix and are implicated in the invasion of tumor cells through the basement membrane. Polymorphisms in MMP genes may result in changes in the expression of MMPs being associated with the development and progression of cancer. We have investigated the association between three polymorphisms (-1607 1G/2G, +17 C/G and -77 A/G) in the human collagenases MMP1, MMP8 and MMP13 and the risk of development or progression of lung cancer. Methods A hospital-based case-control study was designed including 501 lung cancer patients and 510 controls matched. Genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP. Results were analyzed using unconditional logistic regression, Cox's proportional hazard regression, and the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The MMP1 and MMP13 promoter polymorphisms were not associated with lung cancer risk, while the C/G polymorphism in MMP8 was associated with a statistically significant decreased risk of developing lung cancer (ORadj = 0.65; 95%CI = 0.45–0.93). The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the polymorphisms in MMP1, MMP8 and MMP13 not seem to modify the overall survival. Multivariate analysis revealed that MMP1, MMP8 and MMP13 polymorphisms are not independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusion This study suggests that the polymorphism in MMP8 is associated with a decreased lung cancer risk, which can be used as a prognostic marker in lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in periodontal tissue remodeling and degradation. Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the MMP-2 and -9 genes and in the coding region of the MMP-12 gene could affect transcription and the function of these enzymes. The aim of the present study was to determine the association between the aforementioned MMP polymorphisms and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP). METHODS Genomic DNA was obtained from the peripheral blood of 92 subjects with GAgP and 157 periodontally healthy subjects. MMP-2 -735C/T, MMP-9 -1562C/T, and MMP-12 357Asn/Ser polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Probing depth, clinical attachment loss, supragingival plaque accumulation, and bleeding on probing were recorded. The data were analyzed by chi(2), logistic regression, and Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS The genotype distributions, allele frequencies, and rare allele carriage of MMP-2 and MMP-12 genes were similar in GAgP and healthy subjects (P >0.05). T allele frequency and T allele carriage of the MMP-9 -1562 C/T polymorphism were significantly lower in the GAgP group than in the healthy group (P <0.05). In addition, logistic regression analysis revealed a protective effect for MMP-9 -1562 T allele carriers (odds ratio = 0.52; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS MMP-2 -735C/T and MMP-12 357Asn/Ser polymorphisms are not related to GAgP. Conversely, the MMP-9 -1562 gene T allele might be associated with a decreased risk for GAgP in the Turkish population.

Abstract
AIM Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in periodontal tissue remodeling and degradation. MMP polymorphisms could alter transcription and function of these enzymes. The aim of this study was to investigate MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-12 gene polymorphisms in relation to susceptibility to severe chronic periodontitis (CP). METHODS Genomic DNA was obtained from peripheral blood of 87 severe CP patients and 107 periodontally healthy subjects. MMP-2 -735C/T, MMP-9 -1562C/T and MMP -12357Asn/Ser gene polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Probing depth, clinical attachment loss, supragingival plaque accumulation and bleeding on probing were recorded. The data were analyzed by chi-square, logistic regression and Mann-Whitney-U-tests. RESULTS The genotype distributions and allele frequencies of MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-12 genes were similar in CP and healthy subjects (p>0.05). Differences between rare allele carriage rates of CP and healthy groups regarding MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-12 gene polymorphisms were not significant (p>0.05). However, T allele carriers of MMP-9 -1562 gene had less risk for CP (OR=0.36; 95% CI=0.16-0.81). CONCLUSION These data suggest that MMP-2 -735C/T, MMP-9 -1562C/T and MMP-12 357Asn/Ser polymorphisms are not associated with susceptibility to severe CP in Turkish population. However, T allele of MMP-9 -1562 gene might be associated with decreased susceptibility to severe CP.

Abstract
A paper by Bond et al. reported that a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the intronic promoter region of the mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) gene (called SNP309) can significantly change the expression of MDM2 and thereby suppress the p53 pathway. Furthermore, it was shown that SNP309 accelerates tumor formation in Li-Fraumeni patients. This initial report aroused the attention of many researchers, which investigated the role of SNP309 for the risk and the onset of cancer in different tissues. To provide a more robust estimate of the effect of this polymorphism on cancer risk, we combined the available genotype data for breast, colorectal and lung cancers. For breast cancer, we combined the data from 11 studies including 5737 cases and 6703 controls. For colorectal cancer, we combined the data from five studies with 1620 cases and 886 controls. For lung cancer, we performed a fixed-effect meta-analysis from seven studies including 4276 cases and 5318 controls. Our results suggest that the SNP309 variant does not have an impact on the risk of breast [odds ratio (OR) = 0.97, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.87-1.08] or colorectal cancers (OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.76-1.25). However, the combined estimate of the ORs for lung cancer revealed an increased risk for GG versus TT (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.12-1.44). The data show that SNP309 alone has little or no effect on the risk of common cancers, but it might modify the time of tumor onset and prognosis.
