Role of rs2366152 single-nucleotide variant located in the long noncoding RNA HOTAIR gene in the cervical cancer susceptibility in a Polish population. J Appl Genet 2024; 65:511-518. [PMID: 38157198 PMCID: PMC11310296 DOI: 10.1007/s13353-023-00822-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated an association of the NC_000012.12:g.53962605A > G, (rs2366152) single-nucleotide variant (SNV) situated in the long noncoding homeobox transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) gene with HPV16-related cervical cancer pathogenesis. However, little is known about the role of rs2366152 in cervical cancer progression and how oral birth control pills use, parity, menopausal status, and cigarette smoking influence the role of rs2366152 in cervical carcinogenesis. HRM analysis was used to determine the rs2366152 SNV prevalence in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 470) and control group (n = 499) in a Polish Caucasian population. Logistic regression analyses were adjusted for age, using birth control pills, parity, menopausal status, and cigarette smoking. Our genetic studies revealed that the G/A vs. A/A (p = 0.031, p = 0.002) and G/A + G/G vs. A/A (p = 0.035, p = 0.003) genotypes of rs2366152 SNV were significantly related to the grade of differentiation G3 and tumor stage III, respectively. Moreover, cervical cancer risk increased among patients with rs2366152 SNV who smoked cigarettes and used birth control pills. We conclude that rs2366152 may promote the invasion and rapid growth of cervical SCC. Moreover, rs2366152 with cigarette smoking and using birth control pills can also be a risk factor for cervical cancerogenesis.

Associations of long non-coding RNAs HOTAIR, LINC00951, POLR2E and HULC polymorphisms with the risk of esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancer in a western population: a case-control study. Mol Biol Rep 2024; 51:249. [PMID: 38300349 PMCID: PMC10834655 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-024-09206-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of single-nucleotide-polymorphisms with malignant potential in esophageal cancer tissues has only been sparsely investigated in the west. Hence, we explored the contribution of four long non-coding RNAs' polymorphisms HOTAIR rs920778, LINC00951 rs11752942, POLR2E rs3787016 and HULC rs7763881 in esophageal cancer susceptibility. METHODS AND RESULTS Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from 95 consecutive patients operated for esophageal/esophagogastric junction carcinoma during 25/03/2014-25/09/2018 were processed. Demographic data, histopathological parameters, surgical and oncological outcomes were collected. DNA findings of the abovementioned population were compared with 121 healthy community controls. Both populations were of European/Greek ancestry. Sixty-seven patients underwent Ivor Lewis/McKeown esophagectomy for either squamous cell esophageal carcinoma (N = 6) or esophageal/esophagogastric junction Siewert I or II adenocarcinoma (N = 61). Twenty-eight patients were subjected to extended total gastrectomy for esophagogastric junction Siewert III adenocarcinoma. Neither LINC00951 rs11752942 nor HULC rs7763881 polymorphisms were detected more frequently in esophageal cancer patients compared with healthy community subjects. A significantly higher presence of HOTAIR rs920778 TT genotype in esophagogastric junction Siewert I/II adenocarcinoma was identified. POLR2E rs3787016 C allele and CC genotypes were overrepresented in the control group, and when found in esophageal cancer carriers were associated with earlier disease stages, as well as with minor lymph node involvement and lesser metastatic potential. CONCLUSIONS HOTAIR rs920778 may serve as a potential therapeutic suppression target, while POLR2E rs3787016 may represent a valuable biomarker to evaluate esophageal cancer predisposition and predict treatment response and prognosis. Clinical implications of these findings need to be verified with further prospective studies with larger sample-size.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in long non-coding RNA and microRNA genes may play a significant role in the susceptibility and progression of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The current study investigates the polymorphisms HOTAIR rs920778, MIR155HG rs1893650, TERC rs10936599, miR-155 rs767649, miR-196a2 rs11614913 and miR-146a rs2910164 in 102 PTC patients and 106 age- and sex-matched controls of the Caucasian Serbian population, using real-time PCR. We observed differences in genotype distributions of the HOTAIR rs920778 (p = 0.016) and MIR155HG rs1893650 (p = 0.0002) polymorphisms between PTC patients and controls. HOTAIR rs920778 was associated with increased PTC susceptibility (adjusted OR = 1.497, p = 0.021), with the TT variant genotype increasing the risk compared to the CC genotype (OR = 2.466, p = 0.012) and C allele carriers (CC + CT) (OR = 1.585, p = 0.006). The HOTAIR rs920778 TT genotype was associated with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.022), tumor recurrence (p = 0.016), and progression-free survival (p = 0.010) compared to C allele carriers. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that ATA risk (HR = 14.210, p = 0.000004) and HOTAIR rs920778 (HR = 2.811, p = 0.010) emerged as independent prognostic factors in PTC. A novel polymorphism, MIR155HG rs1893650, was negatively correlated with susceptibility to PTC, with TC heterozygotes exerting a protective effect (OR = 0.268, p = 0.0001). These results suggest that the polymorphisms HOTAIR rs920778 and MIR155HG rs1893650 could be potential prognostic and risk biomarkers in papillary thyroid carcinomas.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is a complex disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in non-coding regions of the genome have emerged as crucial contributors to esophageal cancer susceptibility. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the role of SNPs in non-coding regions and their association with esophageal cancer. The accumulation of SNPs in the genome has been implicated in esophageal cancer risk. Various studies have identified specific locations in the genome where SNPs are more likely to occur, suggesting a location-specific response. Chromatin conformational studies have shed light on the localization of SNPs and their impact on gene transcription, posttranscriptional modifications, gene expression regulation, and histone modification. Furthermore, miRNA-related SNPs have been found to play a significant role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). These SNPs can affect miRNA binding sites, thereby altering target gene regulation and contributing to ESCC development. Additionally, the risk of ESCC has been linked to base excision repair, suggesting that SNPs in this pathway may influence disease susceptibility. Somatic DNA segment alterations and modified expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) have also been associated with ESCC. These alterations can lead to disrupted gene expression and cellular processes, ultimately contributing to cancer development and progression. Moreover, SNPs have been found to be associated with the long non-coding RNA HOTAIR, which plays a crucial role in ESCC pathogenesis. This review concludes with a discussion of the current and future perspectives in the field of SNPs in non-coding regions and their relevance to esophageal cancer. Understanding the functional implications of these SNPs may lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets and the development of personalized approaches for esophageal cancer prevention and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hox transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is considered an oncogene associated with the initiation and progression of many malignancies. Previous studies have examined the connection between HOTAIR SNPs rs4759314 and rs920778 for breast cancer (BC), getting variable results in multiple ethnicities. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the connection between these two SNPs and disease vulnerability, clinic-laboratory, and hormonal parameters, featuring status associations with the BC risk in an Egyptian woman sample. METHODS AND RESULTS In this case-control study, DNA was taken from the blood of 100 BC patients and 100 unrelated healthy Egyptian females. The characterization of rs4759314 was genotyped using the T-ARMS-PCR method and rs920778 using the SNP-RFLP technique for all participants. The frequency of the rs4759314 A > G variation revealed a statistically significant increase in BC risk with dominant (p = 0.013, OR = 1.592, 95% Cl = 1.105-2.293), co-dominant (p = 0.006, OR = 2.314, 95%Cl = 1.278-4.191) and overdominant (p = 0.002, OR = 2.571, 95% Cl = 1.430-4.624) genetic models. On the other hand, the rs920778 C > T polymorphism was not significantly associated with BC. ER/PR positivity with HER2 negativity was significantly associated with the AA genotype compared to the AG genotype. Otherwise, no significant associations between the two SNPs and clinical stage or hormonal features could be found. In conclusion, the rs4759314 A > G SNP in the HOTAIR gene is strongly associated with BC, which might warrant its determination among affected families for prevention and early treatment.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the association between Hox transcript antisenses RNA (HOTAIR) polymorphisms, rs12826786 C/T, rs920778 T/C, rs4759314 A/G, and rs1899663 G/T, with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) susceptibility in the Iranian women. METHODS We enrolled 161 patients diagnosed with RSA and 177 healthy women with at least one live birth without a history of abortion. Genotyping of HOTAIR polymorphisms was carried out using both restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction and amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction methods. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were assessed to estimate the strength of association. RESULTS Different inheritance models of rs12826786 C/T, rs920778 T/C, and rs1899663 G/T polymorphisms significantly enhanced the risk of RSA (p < 0.05), whereas the rs4759314 A/G polymorphism was correlated with diminished risk of developing RSA under recessive AA versus GA + GG (OR 0.42 [95% CI = 0.19-0.91]), log-additive GG versus GA vs. GG (OR 0.67 [95% CI = 0.48-0.93]), and allelic A versus G (OR 0.65 [95% CI = 0.47-0.92]) models. Moreover, the TGTC, TTCT, TTTC, CGTC, CGTT, CTCC, CTCT, CTTC, and CTTT haplotypes of rs920778/rs1899663/rs12826786/ significantly increased the risk of RSA. The studied variants were not in strong linkage disequilibrium. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that variations in the HOTAIR gene might serve as beneficial biomarkers for determining susceptibility to RSA. To confirm these findings, replication studies with a larger population and different races are needed.

Abstract
Background The long noncoding RNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is highly expressed in breast cancer (BC) tissues and is associated with the recurrence and metastasis of BC. Until now, the results of studies on associations between several functional single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) (rs920778, rs1899663, and rs4759314) in HOTAIR with BC susceptibility carried out in different regions of China are still inconsistent. There is no study on correlation between HOTAIR SNPs and prognosis of Chinese population. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between HOTAIR SNPs and susceptibility to and prognosis of BC. Method We conducted a population-based case-control study involving 828 BC cases and 905 healthy controls. Peripheral blood DNA was used for genotyping. The association between HOTAIR genotypes and BC risk were estimated by odds ratios (ORs) computed using the binary logistic regression model. The relationships between HOTAIR SNPs and clinicopathological features were tested by Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The functional rs920778 genetic variant increased BC risk in the codominant model. Individuals with the rs920778 GG genotype had an OR of 2.426 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.491–3.947, P < 0.001) for developing BC compared to individuals with the AA genotype. Individuals with the AG genotype had an OR of 1.296 (95% CI = 1.040–1.614, P = 0.021) for developing BC compared to individuals with the AA genotype. Individuals with the rs4759314 GA genotype had a lower BC risk than individuals with the rs4759314 AA/GG genotype (OR = 0.566, 95% CI = 0.398–0.803, P = 0.001). The rs1899663 genotype had no correlation with BC susceptibility. Haplotypes composed of rs920778–rs1899663 and rs920778–rs1899663–rs4759314 could increase BC risk (all P < 0.001). There were no statistically significant associations between HOTAIR SNPs and clinicopathological characteristics. The rs920778 GG/AG genotypes were associated with worse disease-free survival (DFS) (p = 0.012), and the rs4759314 GA genotype was associated with worse DFS and overall survival (OS) (p = 0.011). Conclusion HOTAIR SNPs(rs920778 and rs4759314) are significantly related to BC susceptibility and prognosis in the northeastern Chinese population, indicating the significance in the occurrence and development of BC.

Cumulative evidence for association between genetic polymorphisms and esophageal cancer susceptibility: A review with evidence from meta-analysis and genome-wide association studies. Cancer Med 2019; 8:1289-1305.

Abstract
An increasing number of publications had reported the association between single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and esophageal cancer (EC) risk in the past decades. Results from these publications were controversial. We used PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science to identify meta‐analysis articles published before 30 July 2018, that summarize a comprehensive investigation for cumulative evidence of genetic polymorphisms of EC and its subtype risk. Two methods, Venice criteria and false‐positive report probability (FPRP) tests, were used to assess cumulative evidence of significant associations. At last, 107 meta‐analyses were considered to be in conformity with the inclusion criteria, yielding 51 variants associated with EC or esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Thirty‐eight variants were considered to be nominally significant associated with risk of EC or ESCC, whereas the rest showed non‐association. In additional, five variants on five genes were rated as strong cumulative epidemiological evidence for a nominally significant association with EC and ESCC risk, including CYP1A1 rs1048943, EGF rs444903, HOTAIR rs920778, MMP2 rs243865, and PLCE1 rs2274223, 10 variants were rated as moderate, and 18 variants were rated as weak. Additionally, 17 SNPs were verified noteworthy in six genomewide association studies (GWAS) using FPRP methods. Collectively, this review offered a comprehensively referenced information with cumulative evidence of associations between genetic polymorphisms and EC and ESCC risk.

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.

Yang X, He J, Chang Y, Luo A, Luo A, Zhang J, Zhang R, Xia H, Xu L. HOTAIR gene polymorphisms contribute to increased neuroblastoma susceptibility in Chinese children. Cancer 2018; 124:2599-2606. [PMID: 29603181 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.31353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2017] [Revised: 02/28/2018] [Accepted: 03/05/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is the most frequently diagnosed extracranial solid tumor in children. Previous studies have shown that single-nucleotide polymorphisms in some genes are associated with the risk of multiple cancers, including neuroblastoma. Although Hox transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) gene polymorphisms have been investigated in a variety of cancers, to the authors' knowledge the relationships between HOTAIR gene polymorphisms and neuroblastoma susceptibility have not been reported to date. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the correlation between HOTAIR gene polymorphisms and neuroblastoma risk in Chinese children. METHODS The authors genotyped 6 polymorphisms (rs920778 A>G, rs12826786 C>T, rs4759314 A>G, rs7958904 G>C, rs874945 C>T, and rs1899663 C>A) of the HOTAIR gene in 2 Chinese populations including 393 neuroblastoma cases and 812 healthy controls. The strength of the associations was evaluated using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Further stratification analyses were conducted to explore the association between the HOTAIR gene polymorphisms rs12826786 C>T, rs874945 C>T, and rs1899663 C>A with neuroblastoma susceptibility in terms of age, sex, clinical stage of disease, and sites of origin. RESULTS The authors found that the rs12826786 C>T (P =.013), rs874945 C>T (P =.020), and rs1899663 C>A (P =.029) polymorphisms were significantly associated with increased neuroblastoma risk. In stratification analyses, these associations were more predominant in females and among patients with tumor in the retroperitoneal region or mediastinum. The remaining 3 polymorphisms were not found to be related to neuroblastoma susceptibility. CONCLUSIONS The results of the current study verified that HOTAIR gene polymorphisms are associated with increased neuroblastoma risk and suggest that HOTAIR gene polymorphisms might be a potential biomarker for neuroblastoma susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) Hox transcript antisense intergenic RNA ( HOTAIR) has been suggested to be implicated in gastric cancer tumorigenesis and progression; however, little is known about the role of the plasma HOTAIR in gastric cancer diagnosis and prognosis. OBJECTIVE The current study was aimed at investigating the clinical relevance of plasma long non-coding HOTAIR as a non-invasive diagnostic biomarker in gastric cancer. METHODS Plasma HOTAIR expression was measured in 50 patients with newly diagnosed gastric cancer and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Plasma level of HOTAIR was significantly higher in gastric cancer patients compared with healthy controls ( P < 0.001). By using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, it was found that plasma HOTAIR could diagnose gastric cancer with 88% sensitivity and 84% specificity. Furthermore, increased HOTAIR expression was associated with advanced tumor stages, higher grades, and metastasis. CONCLUSION Plasma HOTAIR might serve as a potential non-invasive biomarker for diagnosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background An increasing number of publications are drawing attention to the associations between six common polymorphisms in HOX transcript anti-sense RNA (HOTAIR) and the risk of cancers, while these results have been controversial and inconsistent. We conducted an up-to-date meta-analysis to pool eligible studies and to further explore the possible relationships between HOTAIR polymorphisms (rs920778, rs7958904, rs12826786, 4,759,314, rs874945, and rs1899663) and cancer risk. Methods A systematic retrieval was conducted up to 1 July 2017 in the PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI databases. Eighteen eligible publications including 45 case-control studies with 58,601subjects were enrolled for assessing the associations between the 6 polymorphisms in HOTAIR and cancer risk. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were analyzed to reveal the polymorphisms and susceptibility to cancer. All the statistical analyses were performed using STATA 11.0 software. Results The pooled analyses detected significant associations between the rs920778 polymorphism and increased susceptibility to cancer in recessive, dominant, allelic, homozygous, and heterozygous models. For the rs7958904 polymorphism, we obtained the polymorphism significantly decreased susceptibility to overall cancer risk among five genetic models rather than recessive and homozygous models. For the rs12826786 polymorphism, we identified it significantly increased susceptibility to cancer risk in all genetic models rather than heterozygous models. However, no significant association was found between the rs1899663, rs874945, and rs4759314 polymorphisms and susceptibility of cancer. Conclusion These findings of the meta-analysis suggest that HOTAIR polymorphism may contribute to cancer susceptibility.
