Biomedicines 2023; 11:1648. [PMID: 37371742 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11061648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Defects in the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway lead to genomic instability and carcinogenesis. However, the roles of individual NHEJ genes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) etiology are not well-understood. The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of NHEJ genotypes, including XRCC4 (rs6869366, rs3734091, rs28360071, rs28360317, rs1805377), XRCC5 (rs828907, rs11685387, rs9288518), XRCC6 (rs5751129, rs2267437, rs132770, rs132774), XRCC7 rs7003908, and Ligase4 rs1805388, to NPC risk, with 208 NPC patients and 416 controls. Genotype-phenotype correlations were also investigated by measuring mRNA and protein expression in adjacent normal tissues and assessing the NHEJ repair capacity in blood lymphocytes from 43 NPC patients. The results showed significant differences in the distributions of variant genotypes at XRCC4 rs3734091, rs28360071, and XRCC6 rs2267437 between the cases and controls. The variant genotypes of these three polymorphisms were associated with significantly increased NPC risks. NPC patients with the risk genotypes at XRCC6 rs2267437 had significantly reduced expression levels of both mRNA and protein, as well as a lower NHEJ repair capacity, than those with the wild-type genotype. In conclusion, XRCC4 rs3734091, rs28360071, and XRCC6 rs2267437 in the NHEJ pathway were associated with NPC susceptibility. XRCC6 rs2267437 can modulate mRNA and protein expression and the NHEJ repair capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The molecular mechanisms underlying the association between cell cycle and asthma are poorly understood, and cyclin D1 (CCND1) is found to be upregulated in asthma airway smooth muscle. We investigated whether the most frequently examined functional variants in CCND1 determine asthma susceptibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS We genotyped 651 participants for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at rs9344 and rs678653 on CCND1 and assessed the association of these SNPs with asthma risk. RESULTS Significant differences were found in the distributions of genotypic (p=0.0064) and allelic (p=0.0021) frequencies of CCND1 rs9344. In addition, AG or GG carriers had 0.63- or 0.48-fold adjusted odds ratios for asthma risk (95%confidence intervals=0.48-0.92 and 0.22-0.78, respectively) than those who carried the AA wildtype. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that cell cycle regulation may play a role in asthma initiation and development, and the CCND1 rs9344 genotype may serve as an early detection marker for asthma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) is overexpressed in asthma, and negatively associated with forced expiratory volume in the first second. This study aimed at evaluating whether CHI3L1 genotypes affect asthma risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS The blood samples of 198 asthma patients and 453 control subjects were collected, and the genotypic patterns of CHI3L1 -131C/G (rs4950928) and -247G/A (rs1262491437) were examined. RESULTS The percentages of CG and GG at CHI3L1 -131C/G were 32.8% and 7.6% among the asthma cases, respectively, significantly higher than the 23.8% and 3.1% among the non-asthmatic healthy subjects (p for trend=0.0009). The allelic frequency distribution analysis showed that the G allele at CHI3L1 - 131C/G conferred a significantly higher asthma risk than the wild-type C allele (p<0.0001). The genotypic and allelic frequency analyses for CHI3L1 -247G/A did not show any significant difference. CONCLUSION The G allele at CHI3L1-131C/G serves as a biomarker in determining personal susceptibility to asthma in Taiwan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) is reported to play important roles in DNA integrity and genomic instability, however, the contribution of XPC to oral carcinogenesis is largely uncertain. Therefore, we aimed at examining the contribution of XPC genotypes to oral cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The genotypes of XPC rs2228001 and rs2228000 were examined among 958 oral cancer patients and 958 control subjects by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology and corresponding DNA repair capacity was checked. RESULTS First, the percentages of XPC rs2228001 AC and CC were higher among oral cancer patients than controls. Second, no significant association was observed regarding XPC rs2228000. Third, there was a synergistic influence of smoking and betel quid chewing behaviors and XPC rs2228001 genotype on oral cancer risk. Last, functional experiments showed DNA repair capacity was lower for AC/CC carriers than AA carriers. CONCLUSION XPC rs2228001 C allele, which was associated with decreased DNA repair capacity, may interact with smoking and betel quid chewing behaviors on oral cancer risk.
