Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is among the vital pro-inflammatory cytokines that potentially exerts a significant influence on the immune response, hence potentially regulating the advancement of cervical lesions. OBJECTIVE Our study objective was to examine the relationship between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1799724 and rs1800629) of TNF-α and the risk of cervical cancer in women from Bangladesh. METHODS We recruited 133 patients with cervical cancer and 126 healthy individuals for this study. Genotyping was performed using real-time PCR SNP genotyping assay. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p-values. RESULTS For rs1799724 (C > T) polymorphism, TT mutant homozygous genotype carried 3.26 times increased risk of developing cervical cancer (OR = 3.26, 95% CI = 1.15-9.28, p = 0.027). Polymorphism of rs1800629 (G > A) was also related to an elevated risk of cervical cancer. Individuals with the AG heterozygous genotype (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = 1.20-6.74, p = 0.017) and AA mutant homozygous genotype (OR = 4.55, 95% CI = 1.24-16.60, p = 0.022) also had a higher likelihood of having cervical cancer. Moreover, we found that injectable contraceptives increase the risk of cervical cancer. Individuals who smoked and/or had first-degree relatives with cancer were more likely to carry the risk allele, which increases the likelihood of developing cervical cancer. CONCLUSION TNF-α polymorphisms in rs1799724 and rs1800629 increase the susceptibility of developing cervical cancer in women from Bangladesh.

Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cytokine genes and the susceptibility to Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (SIL), cervical cancer and HPV infection through a systematic review with meta-analysis. To verify the effect of SNPs, we also analyzed the transcription factor binding affinity using bioinformatics tools.Methods: Seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scielo, BIREME, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct) were searched for case-control studies.Results: A total of 35 relevant case-control studies were meta-analyzed, including 7 cytokine genes and 15 SNPs. SNPs in IL-17A (rs2275913, rs3748067); IL-17 F (rs763780); IL-12A (rs568408); IL-12B (rs3212227); TNFA (rs1800629, rs361525); IL-1B (rs16944); IL-6 (rs1800795); IL-10 (rs1800896) genes were associated with increased risk for cervical cancer. No association was observed between meta-analyzed polymorphisms and SIL. Additional bioinformatics analysis suggested a possible transcriptional regulation pathway of the TNFA and IL-10 genes through the MZF1 (TNFA -308 G > A and IL-10 - 1082A>G) and ZNF263 (TNFA -238 G > A) transcription factors binding.Conclusion: Overall, 10 SNPs in cytokine genes were associated with increased risk for cervical cancer. Therefore, in our meta-analysis, these SNPs demonstrated to be potential biomarkers for predicting or identifying cases of high risk for SIL and cervical cancer.

[PMID: 31652851 PMCID: PMC6862333 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16214079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2019] [Revised: 10/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Health of the metal industrial workers should be a noteworthy issue due to the hazard of chronic exposure to metals or toxic elements. The interactions among multiple elements are sophisticated and may differ from person to person. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene polymorphisms were supposed to be involved with the interactions because TNF-α plays an important role in inflammation, a mechanism by which toxic elements cause threats to human health. This research aimed to analyze the influence of TNF-α gene polymorphisms and multi-elements on serum TNF-α level. Blood multi-elements concentrations (lead, cadmium, arsenic, selenium, cobalt, copper, and zinc), serum TNF-α level, and TNF-α single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including −238G > A (rs361525), −308G > A (rs1800629), −857C > T (rs1799724), −863C > A (rs1800630), and −1031T > C (rs1799964), were measured in 462 metal industrial workers. We applied mixed-effect models to analyze the interactions among multi-elements and TNF-α SNPs. Blood concentration of all elements were positively associated with serum TNF-α level, and the effects may be modified by TNF-α gene polymorphisms. Our study revealed that TNF-α −308A/A and −1031C/C may be susceptible genotypes, and thus we suggest that those workers should take preventive measures against metal toxicity.

Abstract
To investigate the association between the susceptibility to cervical cancer and the
single nucleotide polymorphisms of 5 tumor necrosis factor-α promoter genes (rs361525,
rs1800629, rs1800750, rs1799964, and rs673) in Chinese women. A total of 946 peripheral
blood samples were collected from women of Han Ethnicity in Shandong province. Of them,
452 were diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinomas. The study also included a
control group of 494 healthy women. The targeted single nucleotide polymorphisms were
analyzed by TaqMan probe method. (1) The rate of high-risk subtype human papillomavirus
infection in exfoliated cervical epithelial cells was significantly higher in patients
with cervical cancer than the control group (91.4% vs 10.3%, P < .01).
The rate of human papillomavirus infection was lower in patients with carcinoma in situ
than those with invasive carcinoma (77.9% vs 95.4%, P < .01). (2)
There was a significant difference for rs361525 genotype (CC/CT/TT) between the control,
carcinoma in situ, and invasive carcinoma groups (P < .001). Both
rs1800629 and rs1799964 genotypes (both GG/GA/AA) were also different between these groups
(P < .001 and P < .001). (3) The allele
frequencies of rs361525, rs1800629, and rs1799964 were significantly correlated with the
diagnosis of cervical cancer. The frequency of T allele in rs361525 was significantly
higher for cervical cancer group (10.8%) than control group (3.8%; odds ratio = 3.04, 95%
confidence interval = 1.76-5.25, P < .01). The frequency of A allele
in rs1800629 was significantly higher for cervical cancer (29.9%) than control group
(14.2%; odds ratio = 2.58, 95% confidence interval = 1.87-3.56, P <
.01). The frequency of A allele in rs1799964 was also higher for cervical cancer group
(38.3%) than control group (16.4%; odds ratio = 1.43, 95% confidence interval = 1.07-1.91,
P < .05). The rs361525, rs1800629, and rs17999645 were significantly
correlated with the diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Interactions between polymorphisms in the 3'untranslated region of the cyclin dependent kinase 6 gene and the human papillomavirus infection, and risk of cervical precancerous lesions. Biomed Rep 2017; 6:640-648. [PMID: 28584635 PMCID: PMC5449972 DOI: 10.3892/br.2017.898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2017] [Accepted: 03/30/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is essential for the development of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. However, only certain persistently infected individuals develop cervical cancer. Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) is a critical regulatory cancer-associated gene in the cell cycle and in tumorigenesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNA sites in the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of target genes may result in target gene expression level changes and susceptibility to diseases, including cancer. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine whether SNPs in the 3′UTR of the CDK6 gene may affect susceptibility to cervical precancerous lesions in a Chinese population. Five polymorphisms in the 3′UTR of the CDK6 gene were evaluated in 164 cervical precancerous lesion cases and 296 control subjects. Differences in environmental factors between cases and controls were evaluated using the χ2 test or unpaired t-test. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between the five polymorphisms and cervical precancerous lesions. The model-free multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was performed to evaluate the interaction effect of environment variables and gene polymorphisms. Interactions on the additive scale are calculated by using the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). After controlling for potential confounders, a significantly decreased risk of cervical precancerous lesions for the GA genotype, rs8179, and the AT genotype, rs42033 [GA vs. GA: odds ratio (OR)adjusted=0.17, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.05–0.57; AT vs. AA: ORadjusted=0.18, 95% CI, 0.05–0.59, respectively] was identified. Furthermore, following MDR analysis, a significant three-locus interaction model was identified, which involved the HPV infection, the number of pregnancies and rs8179. Additionally, a significant antagonistic interaction between the HPV infection and rs8179 was identified on an additive scale. Haplotype AGTA was associated with a decreased risk of developing cervical precancerous lesions (ORadjusted=0.21; 95% CI, 0.06–0.75). Thus, the present results indicated that the rs8179 and rs42033 polymorphisms confer genetic susceptibility to cervical precancerous lesions. Furthermore, the interaction between the rs8179 polymorphism in CDK6 and the HPV infection and haplotype AGTA may be associated with cervical precancerous lesions.

Tumor Necrosis Factor- α T-857C (rs1799724) Polymorphism and Risk of Cancers: A Meta-Analysis. DISEASE MARKERS 2016; 2016:4580323. [PMID: 28115787 PMCID: PMC5223007 DOI: 10.1155/2016/4580323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2016] [Revised: 12/04/2016] [Accepted: 12/06/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Objectives. To investigate the potential association of tumor necrosis factor-α T-857C polymorphism with susceptibility to the five common malignant tumors. Materials and Methods. A comprehensive search of PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases was performed up to November 2015. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of the association. Subgroup analysis, heterogeneity analyses, and publication bias were also texted in the meta-analysis. Results. A total of twenty-two publications involving 5215 cases and 6755 controls were recruited. Overall, the meta-analysis revealed an increased risk between the TNF-α T-857C polymorphism and gastric cancer susceptibility in T versus C model, heterozygote genetic model, and dominant genetic model. An increased risk between the TNF-α T-857C polymorphism and hepatocellular cancer susceptibility in homozygote genetic model and recessive genetic model was also found. No significant association was found between the TNF-α T-857C polymorphism and colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, and prostate cancer. Conclusions. Our meta-analyses suggest that TNF-α T-857C polymorphism may be associated with increased risk of gastric cancer and hepatocellular cancer development. Therefore, the TNF-α T-857C polymorphism could be considered as one possible risk factor of gastric cancer and hepatocellular cancer according to our study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the association between tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) G308A, G238A and C863T polymorphisms and hepatitis B virus related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) susceptibility. METHODS We interrogated the databases of Pubmed, Sciencedirect and Viley online library up to March 8, 2016. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated in a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model when appropriate. RESULTS In total, 12 case-control studies which containing 1580 HBV-HCC cases, 2033 HBV carrier controls, 395 HBV spontaneously recovered (SR) controls and 1116 healthy controls were included. Compared with GG genotype, the genotypes GA/AA of G308A were associated with a significantly increased HBV-HCC risk when the controls were all healthy individuals (AA vs. GG, OR 2.483, 95%CI 1.243 to 4.959; GA vs. GG, OR 1.383, 95%CI 1.028 to 1.860; GA/AA vs. GG, OR 1.381, 95%CI 1.048 to 1.820). Meanwhile, only the AA vs. GG model of G238A and HBV-HCC showed a statistic significance when the controls were healthy individuals (OR 4.776, 95%CI 1.280 to 17.819). CT genotype of TNF-α C863T could increase HBV-HCC risk whenever the controls were healthy individuals, HBV carriers or HBV recovers. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis shows that AA genotype in TNF-α G308A and TNF-α G238A and CT genotype in TNF-α C863T may increase HBV-HCC risk. Therefore, HBV infection seemed to be a more important factor for tumorigenesis of HCC than genetic predisposition in G308A of TNF-α, and interaction between TNF-α C863T polymorphisms and HBV infection might be associated with increased HCC risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There are inconclusive data on the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) -308 G/A (rs1800629) polymorphism as a risk factor for cervical carcinogenesis. METHODS Using high-resolution melting curve analysis, we investigated the prevalence of the TNF-α -308 G/A transition (rs1800629) in patients with cervical cancer (n = 362) and control subjects (n = 399). RESULTS The p trend value calculated for the TNF-α -308 G/A transition was statistically significant (p trend = 0.026) for all patients. Logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age demonstrated that the A/A versus G/G genotype was significantly associated with cervical tumors. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) was 1.599 (95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.017-2.513; p = 0.042). Stratification of patients on the basis of the tumor stage revealed no contribution of the TNF-α -308 G/A transition to cervical cancer in stages I and II. However, we found a significant trend for the p value, as well as the contribution of TNF-α -308 G/A to cervical cancer, in stages III and IV. The p trend value was 0.003 in this group of patients. Moreover, logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age demonstrated that the adjusted OR for A/A versus G/G was 2.014 (95 % CI 1.122-3.613; p = 0.019) and the adjusted OR for A/A or A/G versus G/G was 1.583 (95 % CI 1.025-2.444; p = 0.038) for cervical cancer in stages III and IV. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the TNF-α -308 G/A transition is a risk factor for cervical cancer, particularly in stages III and IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-limiting autosomal recessive disorder, is considered a monogenic disease that is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. According to several studies, mutation analysis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene alone is insufficient to predict the phenotypic manifestations observed in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. In addition, some patients with a milder CF phenotype do not carry any pathogenic mutation. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) contributes to the pathophysiology of CF by causing cachexia. There is a reverse association between TNF-α concentration in patient's sputum and their pulmonary function. OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of non-CFTR genes on the clinical phenotype of CF, two polymorphic sites (-1031T/C and -308G/A) of the TNF-α gene, as a modifier, were studied. PATIENTS AND METHODS Focusing on the lung and gastrointestinal involvement as well as the poor growth, we first investigated the role of TNF-α gene in the clinical manifestation of CF. Furthermore, based on the hypothesis that the cumulative effect of specific alleles of multiple CF modifier genes, such as TNF-α, may create the final phenotype, we also investigated the potential role of TNF-α in non-classic CF patients without a known pathogenic mutation. In all, 80 CF patients and 157 healthy control subjects of Azeri Turkish ethnicity were studied by the PCR-RFLP method. The chi-square test with Yates' correction and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The allele and genotype distribution of the investigated polymorphisms, and their associated haplotypes were similar in all groups. CONCLUSIONS There was no evidence that supported the association of TNF-α gene polymorphisms with non-classic CF disease or the clinical presentation of classic CF.

Abstract
Lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the inflammatory and immunologic response. Numerous studies have shown LTA polymorphisms as risk factors for cancers, but the results remain inconclusive. The goal of the present meta-analyses is to establish the associations between cancers and four LTA variants (rs1041981, rs2239704, rs2229094 and rs746868). A total of 30 case-control studies involving 58,649 participants were included in the current meta-analyses. Our results showed significant associations with increased cancer risk for rs1041981 (odd ratio (OR) = 1.15, 99% confidential interval (CI) = 1.07-1.25, P < 0.0001, I2 = 12.2%), rs2239704 (OR = 1.08, 99% CI = 1.01-1.16, P = 0.021, I2 = 0.0%) and rs2229094 (OR = 1.28, 99% CI = 1.09-1.50, P = 0.003, I2 = 0.0%). No evidence was found for the association between rs746868 and cancer risk (OR = 1.01, 99% CI = 0.93-1.10, P = 0.771, I2 = 0.0%). Subgroup meta-analysis suggested that rs2239704 was likely to increase the risk of hematological malignancy (OR = 1.10, 99% CI = 1.01–1.20, P = 0.023, I2 = 0.0%), and rs2229094 was specific for the increased risk of adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.33, 99% CI = 1.11-1.59, P = 0.002, I2 = 0.0%). In conclusion, our meta-analyses suggested that the LTA rs1041981, rs2239704 and rs2229094 polymorphisms contributed to the increased risk of cancers. Future functional studies were needed to clarify the mechanistic roles of the three variants in the cancer risk.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a rare neoplasm of the lymphatic system, in which inflammation and allelic variants in cytokines have been proposed as etiological factors. Epstein-Barr virus infection is often associated as a risk factor in HL and since cytokines are involved in the humoral response to viral infection. Our aim was to study the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene (- 376G> A, - 238G> A and 581G> A) in a sample of Mexican patients (56 cases) and their susceptibility to develop HL, comparing these SNPs among healthy individuals (127 controls). Frequencies for TNF - 238G> A and TNF 581G> A showed no significant differences between cases and controls. However, the proportion of cases with the GA genotype of - 376 SNP showed a significant difference as compared to controls, odds ratio = 4.41 (95% confidence interval: 1.21-16.6), p = 0.02. We found that in this group of patients from Mexico the SNP - 376G> A in TNF shows an association with higher risk for HL.

Abstract
Lymphotoxin-alpha (LTA) polymorphism rs909253 has been reported to be a risk factor for cancers, but some results are inconsistent. To establish a more conclusive association, we performed a meta-analysis of this variant with cancers. A systematic search was performed for informative case-control studies of rs909253 with cancers among literature databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Chinese Periodical Database. After a comprehensive filtration procedure, 36 publications involved with 35,677 participants were selected for the current meta-analysis. Stratified factors, such as cancer type, populations, and source of control, were used for a better interpretation of this variant. Minimal heterogeneity was shown in the current meta-analysis (I (2) = 0.0%, P = 0.48). Our results show a significant association of rs909253 and cancer risk (odds ratio (OR) = 1.12, P (z) < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, significant association of rs909253 was found in adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.16, P (z) < 0.001) and hematological malignancy (OR = 1.10, P (z) < 0.001). Our meta-analyses established a significant association of rs909253 with cancer risk among multiple populations including North Americans, Asians, and Europeans.

Abstract
Background Tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α) is an inflammatory cytokine which may play important role on the immune response may control the progression of cervical lesions. There is a possible association between TNF-α rs1800629 G/A polymorphism and cervical lesions, but previous studies report conflicting results. We performed a meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the association between TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism and cervical lesions risk. Methods Literature searches of Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Wanfang databases were performed for all publications on the association between TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism and cervical lesions through December 15, 2012. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence interval (95%CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of the association. Results Twenty individual case-control studies from 19 publications with a total of 4,146 cases and 4,731 controls were finally included into the meta-analysis. Overall, TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism was significantly associated with increased risk of cervical lesions under two main genetic comparison models (For A versus G: OR 1.22, 95%CI 1.04–1.44, P = 0.017; for AA versus GG: OR 1.32, 95%CI 1.02–1.71, P = 0.034). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity further showed that there was a significant association between TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism and increased risk of cervical lesions in Caucasians but not in Asians. Subgroup analysis by the types of cervical lesions showed that there was a significant association between TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism and increased risk of cervical cancer (For A versus G: OR 1.24, 95%CI 1.05–1.47, P = 0.011; for AA versus GG: OR 1.31, 95%CI 1.01–1.70, P = 0.043; for AA/GA versus GG: OR 1.25, 95%CI 1.01–1.54, P = 0.039). Conclusion The meta-analysis suggests that TNF-α rs1800629 polymorphism is associated with increased risk of cervical lesions, especially in Caucasians.

Abstract
Background Some patients have a greater response to viral infection than do others having a similar level of viral replication. Hypercytokinemia is the principal immunopathological mechanism that contributes to a severer clinical course in cases of influenza A/H1N1. The benefit produced, or damage caused, by these cytokines in severe disease is not known. The genes that code for these molecules are polymorphic and certain alleles have been associated with susceptibility to various diseases. The objective of the present study was to determine whether there was an association between polymorphisms of TNF, LTA, IL1B, IL6, IL8, and CCL1 and the infection and severity of the illness caused by the pandemic A/H1N1 in Mexico in 2009. Methods Case–control study. The cases were patients confirmed with real time PCR with infection by the A/H1N1 pandemic virus. The controls were patients with infection like to influenza and non-familial healthy contacts of the patients with influenza. Medical history and outcome of the disease was registered. The DNA samples were genotyped for polymorphisms TNF rs361525, rs1800629, and rs1800750; LTA rs909253; IL1B rs16944; IL6 rs1818879; IL8 rs4073; and CCL1 rs2282691. Odds ratio (OR) and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. The logistic regression model was adjusted by age and severity of the illness in cases. Results Infection with the pandemic A/H1N1 virus was associated with the following genotypes: TNF rs361525 AA, OR = 27.00; 95% CI = 3.07–1248.77); LTA rs909253 AG (OR = 4.33, 95% CI = 1.82–10.32); TNF rs1800750 AA (OR = 4.33, 95% CI = 1.48–12.64); additionally, LTA rs909253 AG showed a limited statistically significant association with mortality (p = 0.06, OR = 3.13). Carriers of the TNF rs1800629 GA genotype were associated with high levels of blood urea nitrogen (p = 0.05); those of the TNF rs1800750 AA genotype, with high levels of creatine phosphokinase (p=0.05). The IL1B rs16944 AA genotype was associated with an elevated number of leukocytes (p <0.001) and the IL8 rs4073 AA genotype, with a higher value for PaO2 mm Hg. Conclusion The polymorphisms of genes involved in the inflammatory process contributed to the severity of the clinical behavior of infection by the pandemic influenza A/H1N1 virus.
