Abstract
It is commonly assumed that gastrointestinal cancer is the most common form of cancer across the globe and is the leading contributor to cancer-related death. The intricate mechanisms underlying the growth of GI cancers have been identified. It is worth mentioning that both non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and certain types of RNA, such as circular RNAs (circRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and microRNAs (miRNAs), can have considerable impact on the development of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. As a tumour suppressor, in the group of short non-coding regulatory RNAs is miR-34a. miR-34a silences multiple proto-oncogenes at the post-transcriptional stage by targeting them, which inhibits all physiologically relevant cell proliferation pathways. However, it has been discovered that deregulation of miR-34a plays important roles in the growth of tumors and the development of cancer, including invasion, metastasis, and the tumor-associated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Further understanding of miR-34a's molecular pathways in cancer is also necessary for the development of precise diagnoses and effective treatments. We outlined the most recent research on miR-34a functions in GI cancers in this review. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of exosomal miR-34 in gastrointestinal cancers.

Abstract
Objective In the past few decades, more than 500 reports have been published on the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on candidate genes and gastric cancer (GC) risk. Previous findings have been disputed and are controversial. Therefore, we performed this article to summarize and assess the credibility and strength of genetic polymorphisms on the risk of GC. Methods We used Web of Science, PubMed, and Medline to identify meta-analyses published before July 30th, 2018 that assessed associations between variants on candidate genes and the risk of GC. Cumulative epidemiological evidence of statistical associations was assessed combining Venice criteria and a false-positive report probability (FPRP) test. Results Sixty-one variants demonstrated a significant association with GC risk, whereas 29 demonstrated no association. Nine variants on nine genes were rated as presenting strong cumulative epidemiological evidence for a nominally significant association with GC risk, including APE1 (rs1760944), DNMT1 (rs16999593), ERCC5 (rs751402), GSTT1 (null/presence), MDM2 (rs2278744), PPARG (rs1801282), TLR4 (rs4986790), IL-17F (rs763780), and CASP8 (rs3834129). Eleven SNPs were rated as moderate, and 33 SNPs were rated as weak. We also used the FPRP test to identify 13 noteworthy SNPs in five genome-wide association studies.
Conclusions Sixty-one variants are significantly associated with GC risk, and 29 variants are not associated with GC risk; however, five variants on five genes presented strong evidence for an association upgraded from moderate. Further study of these variants may be needed in the future. Our study also provides referenced information for the genetic predisposition to GC.

Association between Polymorphisms in Inflammatory Response-Related Genes and the Susceptibility, Progression and Prognosis of the Diffuse Histological Subtype of Gastric Cancer. Genes (Basel) 2018; 9:genes9120631. [PMID: 30551681 PMCID: PMC6315504 DOI: 10.3390/genes9120631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2018] [Revised: 12/03/2018] [Accepted: 12/03/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The chronic inflammatory microenvironment and immune cell dysfunction have been described as critical components for gastric tumor initiation and progression. The diffuse subtype is related to poor clinical outcomes, pronounced inflammation, and the worst prognosis. We investigated the association of polymorphisms in inflammatory response-related genes (COX-2, OGG1, TNFB, TNFA, HSPA1L, HSPA1B, VEGFA, IL17F, LGALS3, PHB, and TP53) with gastric cancer susceptibility, progression and prognosis in a Brazilian sample, focusing on the diffuse subtype. We also performed the analysis regarding the total sample of cases (not stratified for tumor subtypes), allowing the comparison between the findings. We further investigated the polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium and performed haplotype association analyses. In the case-control study, rs1042522 (TP53) was associated with a stronger risk for developing gastric cancer in the sample stratified for diffuse subtype patients when compared to the risk observed for the total cases; CTC haplotype (rs699947/rs833061/rs2010963 VEGFA) was associated with risk while rs699947 was associated with protection for gastric malignancy in the total sample. Regarding the associations with the clinicopathological features of gastric cancer, for the diffuse subtype we found that rs699947 and rs833061 (VEGFA) were associated with outcomes related to a worse progression while rs5275 (COX-2), rs909253 (TNFB), and rs2227956 (HSPA1L) were associated to a better progression of the disease. In the total sample, rs699947 and rs833061 (VEGFA), rs4644 (LGALS3), and rs1042522 (TP53) were able to predict a worse progression while rs5275 (COX-2), rs2227956 (HSPA1L), and rs3025039 (VEGFA) a better progression. Besides, rs909253 (TNFB) predicted protection for the overall and disease-free survivals for gastric cancer. In conclusion, these results helped us to clarify the potential role of these polymorphisms in genes involved in the modulation of the inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Chronic diseases including coronary artery disease (CAD) impose a high burden in terms of mortality and disability particularly in developing countries. Both genetic and environmental risk factors confer susceptibility to CAD. Meanwhile, a functional polymorphism in the tumor protein p53 (TP53) gene (codon 72, exon 4) has been reported to be associated with a wide range of cancers and inflammatory disorders. There are controversies regarding CAD and involvement of the TP53 codon 72 single nucleotide polymorphism; therefore, the present case-control study was conducted to evaluate the potential association between this TP53 polymorphism and CAD in an Iranian population. A total of 153 subjects (including 70 patients diagnosed with CAD and 83 subjects with normal coronary parameters, determined by angiography) were genotyped for the TP53 (rs1042522) polymorphism by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Clinical and laboratory findings were also evaluated. The χ2 test and unpaired Student's t-test were applied to compare genotype and allele distributions and clinical characteristics between the two groups. Significant associations of the Pro72 allele [odds ratio (OR)=1.66, P=0.027] and Pro/Pro genotype (OR=2.91, P=0.022) with CAD were identified. No associations between patients' clinical findings and genotypes were apparent. Therefore, according to present findings, the TP53 Pro72 allele may be involved in the development of CAD along with conventional risk factors in patients from Northern Iran.

Abstract
Here we present the case of a 73-year-old woman with an ulcerated, advanced, hepatoid, and α-fetoprotein-producing poorly differentiated (G3) primary gastric adenocarcinoma pT3 N3a M1 with multinucleated cells and evident neuroendocrine component. This tumor was consistent with giant cell tumor type gastric carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells (OGCs). The cancer was HER2 and E-cadherin negative, chromogranin A dispersedly and moderately positive, and strongly α-fetoprotein-positive with evident CK AE1/AE3 immunoreactivity, while OGCs expressed CD68. To provide an insight into the molecular background of this peculiar neoplasm, next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to analyze the 50 most frequently mutated oncogenes and tumor suppressors. We detected mutations in the primary tumor in the following genes: KIT, EGFR, PTEN, ATM, and RB1. In the liver metastasis, we revealed mutations in 3 genes: PIK3CA, KIT, and CDKN2A.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that miR-34 family members are abnormally expressed in gastric cancer. Overexpression of the miR-34 family suppresses gastric carcinogenesis, whereas downregulation of the miR-34 family promotes tumorigenesis. p53 can bind to the promoter region of miR-34b/c, leading to an increase of miR-34b/c expression. Recently, a variant in the promoter region of pri-miR-34b/c (rs4938723) has been discovered, with the function of altering the binding efficiency of transcription factor GATA. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the miR-34b/c rs4938723 and TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphisms in the susceptibility of gastric cancer. We analyzed the distribution of the two polymorphisms in 197 patients with gastric cancer and 289 age-, gender-, ethnicity-, and living area-matched controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA direct sequencing. We found that the CT and CT/CC genotypes of the miR-34b/c rs4938723 were associated with a significantly decreased risk of gastric cancer compared with the TT genotype (CT vs. TT: odds ratio [OR]=0.66; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.45-0.97; and CT/CC vs. TT: OR=0.67; 95% CI, 0.47-0.97, respectively). Combined analysis showed that subjects carrying the miR-34b/c rs4938723 CT/CC and TP53 CG/CC genotypes had a 0.62-fold decreased risk to develop gastric cancer compared with subjects carrying the miR-34b/c rs4938723 TT and TP53 CG/CC genotypes (OR=0.62; 95% CI, 0.40-0.96). These findings suggest that the miR-34b/c rs4938723 may individually and jointly have a protective effect on the risk of gastric risk.

Abstract
Latin America shows one of the highest incidence rates of gastric cancer in the world, with variations in mortality rates among nations or even within countries belonging to this region. Gastric cancer is the result of a multifactorial complex process, for which a multistep model of carcinogenesis is currently accepted. Additionally to the infection with Helicobacter pylori, that plays a major role, environmental factors as well as genetic susceptibility factors are significant players at different stages in the gastric cancer process. The differences in population origin, demographic structure, socio-economic development, and the impact of globalization lifestyles experienced in Latin America in the last decades, all together offer opportunities for studying in this context the influence of genetic polymorphisms in the susceptibility to gastric cancer. The aim of this article is to discuss current trends on gastric cancer in Latin American countries and to review the available published information about studies of association of gene polymorphisms involved in gastric cancer susceptibility from this region of the world. A total of 40 genes or genomic regions and 69 genetic variants, 58% representing markers involved in inflammatory response, have been used in a number of studies in which predominates a low number of individuals (cases and controls) included. Polymorphisms of IL-1B (-511 C/T, 14 studies; -31 T/C, 10 studies) and IL-1RN (variable number of tandem repeats, 17 studies) are the most represented ones in the reviewed studies. Other genetic variants recently evaluated in large meta-analyses and associated with gastric cancer risk were also analyzed in a few studies [e.g., prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA), CDH1, Survivin]. Further and better analysis centered in gene polymorphisms linked to other covariates, epidemiological studies and the information provided by meta-analyses and genome-wide association studies should help to improve our understanding of gastric cancer etiology in order to develop appropriate health programs in Latin America.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the clinical, demographic, lifestyle factors and selected genetic polymorphisms that affect the susceptibility towards Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in gastric cancer patients. Histological confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma cases that underwent curative gastrectomy between 2002 and 2012 were included. Gastric biopsy samples were obtained to determine the H. pylori status, and further cagA status and vacA m and s genotypes by polymerase chain reaction. Patients were interviewed with structured questionnaires, and blood samples were collected for EPHX1, GSTM1, GSTT1, IL1B, IL1-RN, MTHFR and p53 genotyping. Proportions were compared in univariate analysis, while the relation between putative risk factors and H. pylori status and genotype were measured using logistic regression analysis. One hundred forty-nine gastric cancer patients were included, of which 78.5% were H. pylori positive. Among positive patients 50% were cagA+, 72.5% vacA m1 and 80.7% vacA s1. The presence of cagA was less frequent among vacA m1 (p = 0.031) and vacA s1 (p = 0.052) subtypes. The presence of father history for any cancer was a significant risk factor for H. pylori infection [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 8.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-64.55]. EPHX1 exon 3 T > C (OR = 0.35, CI 95% 0.13-0.94), IL1B-511 T > C (OR = 0.38, CI 95% 0.15-0.97) and IL1-RN VNTR (OR = 0.19, CI 95% 0.06-0.58) polymorphisms were protective towards H. pylori infection in the univariate analysis. Wine consumption was associated with higher risk of carrying the H. pylori vacA m1 virulent subtype (p = 0.034). Lastly, cardiovascular diseases were less common among cagA positive subjects (p = 0.023). Father history of any cancer is a risk factor for H. pylori infection. Polymorphisms in IL1B-511, IL1-RN and EPHX1 exon 3 genes might be protective towards H. pylori infection.

Abstract
The P53 codon 72 polymorphism has been identified as a critical biomarker in modifying the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). Many studies have investigated the association between the polymorphism of P53 codon 72 and NPC risk; however, the findings across the published studies are inconsistent and inconclusive. To acquire a more precise assessment for this association, we conducted an updated meta-analysis. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Wanfang databases were searched for relevant case-control studies. Totally, seven independent publications with 1,133 cases and 1,678 controls were retrieved. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was calculated. Increased risk of NPC was observed among individuals carrying the variant allele and genotypes of P53 codon 72 (OR Pro vs. Arg = 1.32, 95% CI 1.18-1.47, P OR < 0.001; OR ProPro vs. ArgArg = 1.90, 95% CI 1.51-2.39, P OR < 0.001; OR ProArg + ProPro vs. ArgArg = 1.33, 95% CI 1.13-1.57, P OR = 0.001; OR ProPro vs. ArgArg + ProArg = 1.65, 95% CI 1.35-2.01, P OR < 0.001). Stratified analyses by ethnicity and source of controls also identified this significant relationship in Asians, Caucasians, and hospital-based case-control studies. There was no publication bias risk in our study. The updated meta-analysis supports the evidence that the polymorphism of P53 codon 72 is a risk factor for the development of NPC among the populations of both Asian and Caucasian.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor β (TNF-β) 252 A/G polymorphism has been implicated to be associated with risk of gastric cancer, but previous studies showed inconsistent and inconclusive results. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between TNF-β 252 A/G polymorphism and gastric cancer risk. Relevant studies were searched from PubMed database. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated to evaluate the strength of the associations between TNF-β 252 A/G polymorphism and gastric cancer risk. Overall, 11 individual case-control studies with 2,270 cases and 4,404 controls were included in the final meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of total 11 studies showed that TNF-β 252 A/G polymorphism was associated with the risk of gastric cancer (G vs. A: OR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.19, P = 0.015; GG/AG vs. AA: OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.00-1.47, P = 0.049). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity showed that TNF-β 252 A/G polymorphism was only associated with the risk of gastric cancer in Asians, but not Caucasians. The findings from the current meta-analysis suggest that TNF-β 252 A/G polymorphism is associated with the risk of gastric cancer, especially in Asians.
