Genetic Variants in Double-Strand Break Repair Pathway Genes to Predict Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Prognosis in Patients With Lung Cancer. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:915822. [PMID: 35899106 PMCID: PMC9309806 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.915822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of genetic variants in double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway genes with prognosis in patients with lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: Three hundred ninety-nine patients with lung cancer who received platinum-based chemotherapy for at least two cycles were included in this study. A total of 35 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DSB repair, base excision repair (BER), and nucleotide excision repair (NER) repair pathway genes were genotyped, and were used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy using Cox proportional hazard models. Results: The PFS of patients who carried the MAD2L2 rs746218 GG genotype was shorter than that in patients with the AG or AA genotypes (recessive model: p = 0.039, OR = 5.31, 95% CI = 1.09–25.93). Patients with the TT or GT genotypes of TNFRSF1A rs4149570 had shorter OS times than those with the GG genotype (dominant model: p = 0.030, OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.34–0.95). We also investigated the influence of age, gender, histology, smoking, stage, and metastasis in association between SNPs and OS or PFS in patients with lung cancer. DNA repair gene SNPs were significantly associated with PFS and OS in the subgroup analyses. Conclusion: Our study showed that variants in MAD2L2 rs746218 and TNFRSF1A rs4149570 were associated with shorter PFS or OS in patients with lung cancer who received platinum-based chemotherapy. These variants may be novel biomarkers for the prediction of prognosis of patients with lung cancer who receive platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
BackgroundInflammation is not only involved in the development and progression of cancer but also affects the response to therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in inflammation genes with the prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).MethodsForty-seven SNPs were genotyped in 318 advanced NSCLC patients receiving EGFR-TKIs. Of 318 patients, 182 (57.2%) patients died during follow-up period. We assessed the association of SNPs with the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) as well as calculated the weighted genetic risk score (GRS). We also explored the expression levels and prognostic values of inflammation genes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) in Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and using UCSC Xena, respectively. The relationship between the expression levels of IL15, IL17RA, AGER, MIF, and TNFRSF1A and EGFR mutation status was analyzed using UCSC Xena.ResultsIn single variant analyses, 3 SNPs (rs10519613, rs4819554, and rs4149570) were significantly associated with worse PFS. Five SNPs (rs10519613, rs4819554, rs2070600, rs755622, and rs4149570) were significantly with worse OS. In addition, high and intermediate GRSs (based on rs10519613, rs4819554, and rs4149570) were associated with worse PFS than those with low GRS. For OS, patients with high GRSs (based on rs10519613, rs4819554, rs2070600, rs755622, and rs4149570) had shorter survival time than those with low GRS. Furthermore, IL15, IL17RA, AGER, MIF, and TNFRSF1A were dysregulated in LUAD. There was difference in the expression level of TNFRSF1A between EGFR wildtype and EGFR-mutant LUAD. Both low AGER expression and high TNFRSF1A expression were significantly associated with worse PFS in LUAD. In addition, low IL17RA and AGER expression, high MIF and TNFRSF1A expression were significantly associated with worse OS in LUAD.ConclusionSNPs in inflammation genes could serve as prognostic biomarkers for NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs.

Relationship Between CASP9 and CASP10 Gene Polymorphisms and Cancer Susceptibility: Evidence from an Updated Meta-analysis. Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2021; 193:4172-4196. [PMID: 34463927 DOI: 10.1007/s12010-021-03613-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Caspase-9 (CASP9) and caspase-10 (CASP10) polymorphisms were associated with human cancers; however, the results remain controversial. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to estimate the relationship among CASP9 (rs1052576, rs1052571, rs4645978, rs4645981, rs4645982, rs2308950) and CASP10 (rs13006529, rs13010627, rs3900115) polymorphisms and the overall risk of cancers. Relevant studies were obtained from Web of Science, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar databases (updated January 1, 2021). Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were measured to estimate the strength of association. Our meta-analysis included 40 studies. The rs4645981 significantly enhanced the risk of cancer under TT vs. CC (OR = 2.42), TC vs. CC (OR = 1.55), TT+ TC vs. CC (OR = 1.66), TT vs. TC + CC (OR = 1.91), and T vs. C (OR = 1.57) inheritance models. As for the rs1052571 variant, increased risk of cancer was observed under TT vs. CC (OR =1.22), TC vs. CC (OR = 1.17), and TT+ TC vs. CC (OR = 1.18) models. The stratified analysis showed a significant correlation between rs4645978 or rs4645981 polymorphisms and cancer risk, while in Asians rs4645978 conferred an increased risk of colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer. Both rs4645981 and rs1052576 polymorphisms were correlated with an enhanced risk of lung cancer. In conclusion, our meta-analysis suggested that CASP9 rs4645981 and rs1052571 polymorphisms are associated with overall cancer risk. More studies on larger populations are warranted to validate these associations.

Potentially functional genetic variants in the TNF/TNFR signaling pathway genes predict survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the PLCO cancer screening trial. Mol Carcinog 2019; 58:1094-1104. [PMID: 30989732 DOI: 10.1002/mc.23017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2018] [Revised: 03/09/2019] [Accepted: 03/29/2019] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)/TNF receptor (TNFR) pathway is known to influence survival of patients with cancer. We hypothesize that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TNF/TNFR pathway genes related to apoptosis are associated with survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We used 1185 patients with NSCLC in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial and 984 patients with NSCLC in the Harvard Lung Cancer Susceptibility Study as the discovery and validation datasets, respectively. We selected 6788 SNPs in 71 genes in the TNF/TNFR signaling pathway and extracted their genotyping data from the PLCO genowide-association study (GWAS) dataset. We performed Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to evaluate associations between the identified SNPs and survival and validated the significant SNPs, which were further analyzed for their functional relevance. We found that genotypes of two validated SNPs, IKBKAP rs4978754 CT + TT and TNFRSF1B rs677844 TC + CC, as well as their combined genotypes predicted a better overall survival (P = 0.004, 0.002 and <0.001, respectively). These two validated SNPs were predicted by the RegulomeDB score to be potentially functional. In addition, IKBKAP mRNA expression levels were significantly higher, while TNFRSF1B mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in lung cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.001). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-based expression quantitative trait loci analysis showed that IKBKAP rs4978754 and TNFRSF1B rs677844 genotypes were significantly associated with their corresponding mRNA expression levels in lung cancer tissues in a recessive model (P = 0.035 and 0.045, respectively). Therefore, we identified two potentially functional SNPs (IKBKAP rs4978754 C > T and TNFRSF1B rs677844 T > C) to be associated with survival of patients with NSCLC.

TNFR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms are not associated with cervical HPV-induced pre-malignant lesion but regulate in situ cervical TNFR1 expression. Oncotarget 2019; 10:953-965. [PMID: 30847024 PMCID: PMC6398171 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.26627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2018] [Accepted: 01/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
TNF-α is involved in HPV infection control by triggering cell signaling through binding in specific receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2. Genetic polymorphisms in these receptors may influence TNF-α signaling. Herein, we investigated TNFR1 rs767455 and rs2234649 single nucleotide polymorphisms, and TNFR1 protein expression in cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) to identify their role in cervical pre-malignant development. SIL patients (n = 179) and healthy volunteers (n = 227) were enrolled for TNFR1 genotyping analysis by PCR-RFLP in blood samples and TNFR1 protein expression in cervical tissue by immunohistochemistry. No statistical differences regard genotypes and allelic frequencies for both polymorphisms were observed. Cervical TNFR1-expressing cells were rare in epithelium and basal layer regardless the groups. However, a progressive increase in infiltrating cells was observed in the stromal area, mainly in high SIL (HSIL) group compared to low SIL (LSIL, p < 0.001) and control (p < 0.001) groups. TNFR1-expressing cells frequency was higher in TNFR1 rs767455AG/GG (p < 0.001), and in rs2234649AA (p < 0.001) genotypes carries in HSIL subgroup. These data indicated that TNFR1-expression is abrogated in cervical epithelium, where HPV-induced pre-malignant lesion occurs, increasing its frequency in inflammatory cells in stroma, and is genetically controlled by TNFR1 rs767455AG/GG and rs234649AA genotypes. These biomarkers may be useful to identify cervical precancerous lesions progression.

Abstract
PPP1R13L and CD3EAP were confirmed to play important roles in transcription and apoptosis. SNPs in PPP1R13L and CD3EAP may be associated with lung cancer risk and survival. This study investigated the association of PPP1R13L rs1005165 and CD3EAP rs967591 with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk and survival in Chinese non-smoking females. 442 NSCLC cases and 480 cancer-free controls were conducted in the case-control study, and 283 cases were in cohort study. Genotype was determined by Taqman real-time PCR. The statistical analyses were performed by SPSS 22.0 software. We found that rs1005165 and rs967591 were significantly associated with NSCLC risk in Chinese non-smoking females. For rs1005165, compared with homozygous wild CC genotype, carriers of CT or TT genotype had lower risk of NSCLC (adjusted ORs were 0.675 and 0.713, 95% CI were 0.461-0.988 and 0.525-0.968, respectively), adjusted OR for dominant model was 0.702, 95% CI was 0.526-0.937. For rs967591, AA genotype (adjusted OR = 0.721, 95% CI = 0.532-0.978) and at least one A allele (GA+AA) (adjusted OR = 0.716, 95% CI = 0.536-0.956) were significantly correlated with lower risk of NSCLC, compared with GG genotype. But we didn't find correlation between the two SNPs and survival time in Chinese non-smoking NSCLC females. In general, we found PPP1R13L rs1005165 and CD3EAP rs967591 might be associated with lower NSCLC risk in Chinese non-smoking females, but no significant relationship was found with NSCLC survival.

Abstract
Objectives Individual variations in the capacity of DNA repair machinery to relieve benzene-induced DNA damage may be the key to developing chronic benzene poisoning (CBP), an increasingly prevalent occupational disease in China. ERCC1 (Excision repair cross complementation group 1) is located on chromosome 19q13.2–3 and participates in the crucial steps of Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER); moreover, we determined that one of its polymorphisms, ERCC1 rs11615, is a biomarker for CBP susceptibility in our previous report. Our aim is to further explore the deeper association between some genetic variations related to ERCC1 polymorphisms and CBP risk. Methods Nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross-complementing 1), CD3EAP (CD3e molecule, epsilon associated protein), PPP1R13L (protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 13 like), XPB (Xeroderma pigmentosum group B), XPC (Xeroderma pigmentosum group C) and XPF (Xeroderma pigmentosum group F) were genotyped by the Snapshot and TaqMan-MGB® probe techniques, in a study involving 102 CBP patients and 204 controls. The potential interactions between these SNPs and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and drinking, were assessed using a stratified analysis. Results An XRCC1 allele, rs25487, was related to a higher risk of CBP (P<0.001) even after stratifying for potential confounders. Carriers of the TT genotype of XRCC1 rs1799782 who were alcohol drinkers (OR = 8.000; 95% CI: 1.316–48.645; P = 0.022), male (OR = 9.333; 95% CI: 1.593–54.672; P = 0.019), and had an exposure of ≤12 years (OR = 2.612; 95% CI: 1.048–6.510; P = 0.035) had an increased risk of CBP. However, the T allele in PPP1R13L rs1005165 (P<0.05) and the GA allele in CD3EAP rs967591 (OR = 0.162; 95% CI: 0039~0.666; P = 0.037) decreased the risk of CBP in men. The haplotype analysis of XRCC1 indicated that XRCC1 rs25487A, rs25489G and rs1799782T (OR = 15.469; 95% CI: 5.536–43.225; P<0.001) were associated with a high risk of CBP. Conclusions The findings showed that the rs25487 and rs1799782 polymorphisms of XRCC1 may contribute to an individual’s susceptibility to CBP and may be used as valid biomarkers. Overall, the genes on chromosome 19q13.2–3 may have a special significance in the development of CBP in occupationally exposed Chinese populations.

Abstract
Background This study was conducted to investigate whether a panel of eight genetic polymorphisms can predict the prognosis of patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgical resection. Materials and Methods We selected eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which have been associated with the prognosis of lung cancer patients after surgery in our previous studies. A total of 814 patients with early stage NSCLC who underwent curative surgical resection were enrolled. The association of the eight SNPs with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed. Results The eight SNPs (CD3EAP rs967591, TNFRSF10B rs1047266, AKT1 rs3803300, C3 rs2287845, HOMER2 rs1256428, GNB2L1 rs3756585, ADAMTSL3 rs11259927, and CD3D rs3181259) were significantly associated with OS and/or DFS. Combining those eight SNPs, we designed a prognostic index to predict the prognosis of patients. According to relative risk of death, a score value was assigned to each genotype of the SNPs. A worse prognosis corresponded to a higher score value, and the sum of score values of eight SNPs defined the prognostic index of a patient. When we categorized the patients into two groups based on the prognostic index, high risk group was significantly associated with worse OS and DFS compared to low risk group (aHR for OS = 2.21, 95% CI = 1.69–2.88, P = 8.0 x 10−9, and aHR for DFS = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.29–1.94, P = 1.0 x 10−5). Conclusions Prognostic index using eight genetic polymorphisms may be useful for the prognostication of patients with surgically resected NSCLC.

Polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor receptor genes affect the expression levels of membrane-bound type I and type II receptors. Mediators Inflamm 2014; 2014:745909. [PMID: 24782596 PMCID: PMC3982480 DOI: 10.1155/2014/745909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2013] [Revised: 01/23/2014] [Accepted: 02/02/2014] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The level of TNF receptors on various cells of immune system and its association with the gene polymorphism were investigated. Determining the levels of membrane-bound TNFα receptors on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was performed by flow cytometry using BD QuantiBRITE calibration particles. Soluble TNFα receptor (sTNFRs) levels were determined by ELISA and genotyping was determined by PCR-RFLP. Homozygous TT individuals at SNP −609G/T TNFRI (rs4149570) showed lower levels of sTNFRI compared to GG genotype carriers. Homozygous carriers of CC genotype at SNP −1207G/C TNFRI (rs4149569) had lower expression densities of membrane-bound TNFRI on intact CD14+ monocytes compared to individuals with the GC genotype. The frequency differences in the CD3+ and CD19+ cells expressing TNFRII in relation to SNP −1709A/T TNFRII (rs652625) in healthy individuals were also determined. The genotype CC in SNP −3609C/T TNFRII (rs590368) was associated with a lower percentage of CD14+ cells expressing TNFRII compared to individuals with the CT genotype. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis had no significant changes in the frequencies of genotypes. Reduced frequency was identified for the combination TNFRI −609GT + TNFRII −3609CC only. The polymorphisms in genes represent one of cell type-specific mechanisms affecting the expression levels of membrane-bound TNFα receptors and TNFα-mediated signaling.

Abstract
This study was conducted to analyze a comprehensive panel of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes in DNA repair and apoptosis pathways and determine the relationship between polymorphisms and treatment outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with first-line paclitaxel-cisplatin chemotherapy. Three hundred eighty two patients with NSCLC were enrolled. Seventy-four SNPs in 48 genes (42 SNPs in 27 DNA repair pathway genes and 32 SNPs in 21 apoptotic pathway genes) were genotyped and their associations with chemotherapy response and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Among SNPs in DNA repair genes, BRCA1 rs799917 was significantly associated with both chemotherapy response and OS. XRCC1 rs25487 exhibited a significant association with chemotherapy response and ERCC2 rs1052555 with OS. Four SNPs in apoptotic genes (TNFRSF1B rs1061624, BCL2 rs2279115, BIRC5 rs9904341, and CASP8 rs3769818) were significantly associated with OS, but not with response to chemotherapy. When the six SNPs which were associated with OS in individual analysis were combined, OS decreased as the number of bad genotypes increased (P(trend) = 2 × 10(-6)). Patients with 3, and 4-6 bad genotypes had significantly worse OS compared with those carrying 0-2 bad genotypes (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.14-2.08, P = 0.005; aHR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.55-2.85, P = 2 × 10(-6), respectively). In conclusion, these findings suggest that the six SNPs identified, particularly their combined genotypes, could be used as biomarkers predicting chemotherapy response and survival of NSCLC patients treated with first-line paclitaxel-cisplatin chemotherapy.

Abstract
Presently, there are few validated biomarkers that can predict survival or treatment response for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and most are based on tumor markers. Biomarkers based on germ line DNA variations represent a valuable complementary strategy, which could have translational implications by subclassifying patients to tailored, patient-specific treatment. We analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 53 inflammation-related genes among 651 NSCLC patients. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models, adjusted for lung cancer prognostic factors, were used to assess the association of genotypes and haplotypes with overall survival. Four of the top 15 SNPs associated with survival were located in the TNF-receptor superfamily member 10b (TNFRSF10B) gene. The T-allele of the top ranked SNP (rs11785599) was associated with a 41% increased risk of death (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-1.70) and the other three TNFRSF10B SNPs (rs1047275, rs4460370 and rs883429) exhibited a 35% (95% CI = 1.11-1.65), 29% (95% CI = 1.06-1.57) and 24% (95% CI = 0.99-1.54) increased risk of death, respectively. Haplotype analyses revealed that the most common risk haplotype (TCTT) was associated with a 78% (95% CI = 1.25-2.54) increased risk of death compared with the low-risk haplotype (CGCC). When the data were stratified by treatment, the risk haplotypes exhibited statistically significantly increased risk of death among patients who had surgery only and no statistically significant effects among patients who had surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. These data suggest that possessing one or more risk alleles in TNFRSF10B is associated with an increased risk of death. Validated germ line biomarkers may have potential important clinical implications by optimizing patient-specific treatment.

Abstract
Apoptosis plays a key role in inhibiting tumor growth, progression and resistance to anti-tumor therapy. We hypothesized that genetic variants in apoptotic genes may affect the prognosis of lung cancer. To test this hypothesis, we selected 38 potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 12 genes (BAX, BCL2, BID, CASP3, CASP6, CASP7, CASP8, CASP9, CASP10, FAS, FASLG and MCL1) involved in apoptosis to assess their prognostic significance in lung cancer in a Chinese case cohort with 568 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Thirty-five SNPs passing quality control underwent association analyses, 11 of which were shown to be significantly associated with NSCLC survival (P < 0.05). After Cox stepwise regression analyses, 3 SNPs were independently associated with the outcome of NSCLC (BID rs8190315: P = 0.003; CASP9 rs4645981: P = 0.007 and FAS rs1800682: P = 0.016). A favorable survival of NSCLC was significantly associated with the genotypes of BID rs8190315 AG/GG (adjusted HR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.49-0.88), CASP9 rs4645981 AA (HR = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.07-0.69) and FAS rs1800682 GG (adjusted HR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.46-0.97). Time-dependent receptor operation curve (ROC) analysis revealed that the area under curve (AUC) at year 5 was significantly increased from 0.762 to 0.819 after adding the risk score of these 3 SNPs to the clinical risk score. The remaining 32 SNPs were not significantly associated with NSCLC prognosis after adjustment for these 3 SNPs. These findings indicate that BID rs8190315, CASP9 rs4645981 and FAS rs1800682 polymorphisms in the apoptotic pathway may be involved in the prognosis of NSCLC in the Chinese population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (T-NHL) represent a small but heterogeneous and clinically aggressive subset of NHLs with a poor outcome. Cytokines or their receptors might be associated with the clinical outcome of these lymphomas. Therefore, we tested whether gene variations and serum levels of soluble TNF receptor (TNFR)I (sTNFRI), sTNFRII, interleukin (IL)-10, or sIL-4R are predictive for treatment response in T-NHLs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Peripheral blood DNA from 117 patients with T-NHL treated in prospective clinical trials was subjected to genotyping analysis. Whenever possible, pretreatment sera were obtained, and circulating levels of sTNFRI, sTNFRII, IL-10, and sIL-4R were determined with a specific capture enzyme-linked immunoassay. RESULTS Patients characterized by TNFRI-609GG (rs4149570) showed a trend toward better event free survival [EFS; univariate: P = 0.041; multivariate: HR, 1.76; confidence interval (CI), 0.99-3.14 with P = 0.056]. A protective role of IL-10-1087A, -824T, and -597A reported in another study was not confirmed in our cohort. Patients with circulating levels of soluble TNFRII ≥2.16 ng/mL had a 2.07-fold increased relative risk for shorter overall survival (OS; univariate: P = 0.0034; multivariate: HR, 2.07; CI, 0.92-4.70 with P = 0.081) and a 2.49-fold higher risk for shorter EFS (univariate: P = 0.00068; multivariate: HR, 2.49; CI, 1.22-5.08 with P = 0.012). Elevations of circulating levels of sTNFRI, IL-10, and sIL-4R are frequent, but the clinical response in these patients is not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest a critical role for TNF-TNFR signaling for the clinical outcome of patients with peripheral T-NHLs.

Interaction among apoptosis-associated sequence variants and joint effects on aggressive prostate cancer. BMC Med Genomics 2012; 5:11. [PMID: 22546513 PMCID: PMC3355002 DOI: 10.1186/1755-8794-5-11] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2011] [Accepted: 04/30/2012] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Molecular and epidemiological evidence demonstrate that altered gene expression and single nucleotide polymorphisms in the apoptotic pathway are linked to many cancers. Yet, few studies emphasize the interaction of variant apoptotic genes and their joint modifying effects on prostate cancer (PCA) outcomes. An exhaustive assessment of all the possible two-, three- and four-way gene-gene interactions is computationally burdensome. This statistical conundrum stems from the prohibitive amount of data needed to account for multiple hypothesis testing. Methods To address this issue, we systematically prioritized and evaluated individual effects and complex interactions among 172 apoptotic SNPs in relation to PCA risk and aggressive disease (i.e., Gleason score ≥ 7 and tumor stages III/IV). Single and joint modifying effects on PCA outcomes among European-American men were analyzed using statistical epistasis networks coupled with multi-factor dimensionality reduction (SEN-guided MDR). The case-control study design included 1,175 incident PCA cases and 1,111 controls from the prostate, lung, colo-rectal, and ovarian (PLCO) cancer screening trial. Moreover, a subset analysis of PCA cases consisted of 688 aggressive and 488 non-aggressive PCA cases. SNP profiles were obtained using the NCI Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) data portal. Main effects were assessed using logistic regression (LR) models. Prior to modeling interactions, SEN was used to pre-process our genetic data. SEN used network science to reduce our analysis from > 36 million to < 13,000 SNP interactions. Interactions were visualized, evaluated, and validated using entropy-based MDR. All parametric and non-parametric models were adjusted for age, family history of PCA, and multiple hypothesis testing. Results Following LR modeling, eleven and thirteen sequence variants were associated with PCA risk and aggressive disease, respectively. However, none of these markers remained significant after we adjusted for multiple comparisons. Nevertheless, we detected a modest synergistic interaction between AKT3 rs2125230-PRKCQ rs571715 and disease aggressiveness using SEN-guided MDR (p = 0.011). Conclusions In summary, entropy-based SEN-guided MDR facilitated the logical prioritization and evaluation of apoptotic SNPs in relation to aggressive PCA. The suggestive interaction between AKT3-PRKCQ and aggressive PCA requires further validation using independent observational studies.

Abstract
A genomic region on chromosome 19q13.3 has been associated with cancer susceptibility. A Chinese case-control study including 339 lung cancer cases and 358 controls was conducted using haplotype-tagging SNP (htSNP) approach and HapMap database to evaluate the role of this locus. Four htSNPs (rs6966, rs2070830, rs4802252, and rs4803817) representing 95% of the common variations in PPP1R13L, as well as fourteen htSNPs encompassing ERCC2, PPP1R13L, and ERCC1 on chromosome 19q13.3 were explored. Three haplotype blocks of strong linkage disequilibrium were identified. Overall, no single htSNP or haplotype associations were found for PPP1R13L. Highly significant differential distributions of haplotypes defined by both nine htSNPs covering ERCC2 and PPP1R13L and fourteen htSNPs covering ERCC2, PPP1R13L, and ERCC1 were found (global test P = 8.12e-005 and P = 4.82e-006, respectively). The results indicate that the biologically relevant genetic variation may be located at or near the subregion spanning from ERCC2 inton19 rs1799787 to PPP1R13L intron8 rs2070830.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to investigate the impact of polymorphisms in the AKT1 gene on the survival of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS Three hundred and ten patients with surgically resected NSCLC were enrolled. The rs3803300, rs1130214, rs3730358, rs1130233, and rs2494732 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the AKT1 gene were investigated. The genotype and haplotype associations with overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) were analyzed. RESULTS The three SNPs (rs3803300, rs1130214, and rs2494732) were significantly associated with survival outcomes on multivariate analysis. When the three SNPs were combined, OS and DFS were decreased in a dose-dependent manner as the number of bad genotypes increased (P(trend) = <1.0 × 10(-4) and 0.001, respectively). Patients with 2 bad genotypes had a significantly worse OS and DFS compared with those with 0 bad genotypes (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 3.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.61-5.89, P = 0.001; and adjusted HR = 2.04, 95% CI = 1.22-3.43, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the AKT1 polymorphisms could be used as prognostic markers for the patients with early-stage NSCLC.

Abstract
How genetic variations in apoptosis pathway interact with environmental factors to contribute to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) risk has not been comprehensively investigated. We conducted a case-only analysis in 335 Caucasian EA patients that were genotyped for 242 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 43 apoptotic genes. Gene-environment interactions were assessed using a two-step approach. First, random forest algorithm was used to screen for the potential interacting markers. Next, we used case-only logistic regression model to estimate the effects of gene-environment interactions on EA risk. Four SNPs (PERP rs648802; PIK3CA rs4855094, rs7644468 and TNFRSF1A rs4149579) had significant interaction with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The presence of variant alleles in TP53BP1 rs560191, CASP7 rs7907519 or BCL2 rs12454712 enhanced the risk of smoking by 2.08-2.58 times [interaction odds ratio (ORi)=2.08-2.58, adjusted P-value (Padj)=0.02-0.04]. Compared with patients carrying ≤1 risk genotype, the risk of GERD on EA was increased in persons with two (ORi=1.89, Padj=0.016) or ≥3 (ORi=4.30, Padj<0.0001) risk genotypes. Compared with cases with ≤1 risk genotype, smoking-associated EA risk increased by 3.15 times when ≥2 risk genotypes were present (ORi=3.15, Padj<0.0001). In conclusion, interactions among apoptotic SNPs and GERD or smoking play an important role in EA development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urokinase plasminogen activating (uPA) system is implicated in neoplastic progression. High tissue levels of uPA system components correlate with a poor prognosis in lung cancer. The present study examined the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of uPA and the corresponding receptor, uPAR, for exploring their roles in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS The allele frequencies and genotype distributions of uPA rs4065 C/T and uPAR rs344781 (-516 T/C) among 375 NSCLC cases and 380 healthy controls were examined using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. Putative association between the above SNPs and clinicopathological characteristics of NSCLC were also analyzed. RESULTS The genotype frequencies of the variant homozygotes of uPA and uPAR were significantly different between NSCLC and control subjects. Significant association was also observed between the examined genotypes and disease stage of NSCLC. Logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals with uPA rs4065 TT genotype have higher odds ratios (ORs) for lung cancer. Whereas, subjects with uPAR-344781 CC genotype have lower ORs for lung cancer. The patients carrying a homozygous TT genotype at uPA rs4065, or at least a T allele at uPAR-344781 (-516), had a tendency to develop advanced disease. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that genetic polymorphisms of the uPA rs4065 C/T and uPAR rs344781 (-516 T/C) were associated with the susceptibility and severity of NSCLC.
