Abstract
INTRODUCTION Understanding the etiology and risk factors of lung cancer (LC) is the key to developing scientific and effective prevention and control strategies for LC. CYP4B1 genetic polymorphism has been reported to be associated with susceptibility to various diseases. We aimed to explore the association between CYP4B1 genetic variants and LC susceptibility. METHODS One thousand three hundred thirty-nine participants were recruited to perform an association analysis through SNPStats online software. Statistical analysis of this study was mainly completed by SPSS 22.0 software. False-positive report probability analysis (FPRP) to detect whether the positive findings were noteworthy. Finally, the interaction of SNP-SNP in LC risk was evaluated by multi-factor dimensionality reduction. RESULTS We found evidence that missense variants in CYP4B1 (rs2297810, rs4646491, and rs2297809) are associated with LC susceptibility. In particular, genotype GA of CYP4B1-rs2297810 was significantly associated with an increased risk of LC in both overall and stratified analyses (genotype GA: OR (95% CI) = 1.35 (1.08-1.69), p = 0.010). CYP4B1-rs4646491 (overdominant: OR (95% CI) = 1.30 (1.04-1.62), p = 0.023) and CYP4B1-rs2297809 (genotype CT: OR (95% CI) = 1.26 (1.01-1.59), p = 0.046) are also associated with an increased risk of LC. FPRP analysis showed that all positive results in this study are noteworthy findings CONCLUSION: Three missense variants in CYP4B1 (rs2297810, rs4646491, and rs2297809) are associated with increasing risk of LC.

Abstract
The dysregulation of transfer RNA (tRNA) expression contributes to the diversity of proteomics, heterogeneity of cell populations, and instability of the genome, which may be related to human cancer susceptibility. However, the relationship between tRNA dysregulation and cancer susceptibility remains elusive because the landscape of cancer-associated tRNAs has not been portrayed yet. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms of tRNAs involved in tumorigenesis and cancer progression have not been systematically understood. In this review, we detail current knowledge of cancer-related tRNAs and comprehensively summarize the basic characteristics and functions of these tRNAs, with a special focus on their role and involvement in human cancer. This review bridges the gap between tRNAs and cancer and broadens our understanding of their relationship, thus providing new insights and strategies to improve the potential clinical applications of tRNAs for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Genetic and Proteinic Linkage of MAO and COMT with Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders and Cancers of the Oral Cavity and Pharynx. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13133268. [PMID: 34209963 PMCID: PMC8268107 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13133268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 06/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The prevention and treatment of cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx are currently important issues for national health. Currently, the incidence of oral cavity and pharynx cancers is globally the highest in Taiwanese men. Regarding the occurrence of oral cavity and pharynx cancers and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD), no report has ascertained how betel quid (BQ) can induce the expression of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). We aimed to explore the role and clinical significance of specific markers of BQ exposure and human susceptibility to MAO and COMT. Our findings highlight the association of MAO and COMT biomarkers to risks of oral and pharyngeal cancers and OPMD. These novel findings will provide important strategies for disease prevention, early clinical diagnosis, and treatment effectiveness, and will offer a strong foundation to reduce BQ-related cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx and OPMD. Abstract Betel quid (BQ), a group I human carcinogen, strongly contributes to an increased risk of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx. This study was conducted to discover whether monoamine oxidase (MAO) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) variants play a potential role in the risk assessment of oral cavity and pharynx cancers and OPMD, particularly among BQ users. We applied a case–control study to confirm the polymorphism of MAO and COMT using single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We used qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to determine MAO and COMT expression. Carriers of the MAOA rs6323 G-allele, MAOB rs6324 G-allele, and COMT rs4633 C/C-genotype had a prominently increased risk of oral cavity and pharynx cancers (AOR = 56.99; p < 0.001). Compared to adjacent noncancerous tissues, a significant downregulation of MAO and COMT expression was exhibited in cancerous tissues (p < 0.01). Furthermore, in different cell models, MAO and COMT expression was significantly downregulated with an increased dose of arecoline (p < 0.01). In personalized preventive medicine for oral and pharyngeal cancers, our findings are the first to demonstrate the potential role of lower MAO and COMT expression levels, with the risk polymorphisms utilized as clinical biomarkers.

Pu Y, Zhao L, Dai N, Xu M. Comprehensive analysis of the correlation between base-excision repair gene SNPs and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk in a Chinese Han population. Mol Clin Oncol 2020; 13:228-236. [PMID: 32714550 DOI: 10.3892/mco.2020.2066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
This study sought to assess the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting DNA base-excision repair (BER) genes and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risk in a Han Chinese population. Genes screened for such SNPs included 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) and X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 protein (XRCC1). Blood samples that had been collected in a prospective manner were used for DNA extraction, with all DNA samples then being subjected to PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism genotyping for BER gene SNPs, including APE1 Asp148Glu and -141T/G, OGG1 Ser326Cys, and XRCC1 Arg399Gln. The relationship between these SNPs and ESCC risk was then assessed, with the comparability of the case and control groups being enhanced via propensity score matching (PSM). This study initially included 642 healthy controls and 321 ESCC patients, with PSM optimization leading to a final analyzed total of 311 matched subjects per group (311 total). Factors associated with elevated ESCC risk in this analysis included advanced age, being male and smoking. We further identified that the XRCC1 399 Gln/Gln genotype was associated with a significant reduction in ESCC risk prior to propensity matching (odds ratio=0.48; 95% CI: 0.23-1.00; P<0.05), although this did not remain true following matching. For the remaining analyzed SNPs, no significant associations between genotype and ESCC risk were detected prior to or following propensity matching. A multivariate analysis incorporating patient age, sex, smoking status and drinking status failed to detect any relationship between the four tested genotypes and ESCC risk. In conclusion, being male, a smoker or of advanced age was associated with an elevated ESCC risk. However, we did not detect any significant relationship between ESCC risk and BER polymorphisms in XRCC1, OGG1, APE1 or the APE1 promoter region in a Han Chinese population.

Lung cancer occurrence attributable to passive smoking among never smokers in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Transl Lung Cancer Res 2020; 9:204-217.

Abstract
Background Quantifying the occurrence of lung cancer due to passive smoking is a necessary step when forming public health policy. In this study, we estimated the proportion of lung cancer cases attributable to passive smoking among never smokers in China. Methods Six databases were searched up to July 2019 for original observational studies reporting relative risks (RRs) or odds ratios (ORs) for the occurrence of lung cancer associated with passive smoking in Chinese never smokers. The population attributable fraction (PAF) was then calculated using the combined proportion of lung cancer cases exposed to passive smoking and the pooled ORs from meta-analysis. Data are reported with their 95% confidence intervals. Results We identified 31 case-control studies of never smokers and no cohort studies. These comprised 9,614 lung cancer cases and 13,093 controls. The overall percentages of lung cancers attributable to passive smoking among never smokers were 15.5% (9.0-21.4%) for 9 population-based studies and 22.7% (16.6-28.3%) for 22 hospital-based studies. The PAFs for women were 17.9% (11.4-24.0%) for the population-based studies and 20.9% (14.7-26.7%) for the hospital-based studies. The PAF for men was only calculable for hospital-based studies, which was 29.0% (95% CI: 8.0-45.2%). Among women, the percentage of lung cancer cases attributable to household exposure (19.5%) was much higher than that due to workplace exposure (7.2%). Conclusions We conclude that approximately 16% of lung cancer cases among never smokers in China are potentially attributable to passive smoking. This is slightly higher among women (around 18%), with most cases occurring due to household exposure.
