The 40bp Indel Polymorphism rs150550023 in the MDM2 Promoter is Associated with Intriguing Shifts in Gene Expression in the p53-MDM2 Regulatory Hub. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12113363. [PMID: 33202864 PMCID: PMC7697608 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12113363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Most low-penetrance genetic risk factors for cancer are located in noncoding regions, presumably altering the regulation of neighboring genes. The poorly characterized Indel polymorphism rs150550023 (rs3730485; del1518) in the promoter of MDM2 (human homolog of mouse double minute 2) is a biologically plausible candidate genetic risk factor, which might influence the expression of MDM2, a key negative regulator of the central tumor suppressor p53. Here, we genotyped rs150550023 in a Central European hospital-based case-control study of 407 breast cancer patients and 254 female controls. mRNA levels of MDM2, p53, and the p53 target genes p21, BAX, and PERP were quantified with qRT-PCR, and p53 protein was assessed with immune histochemistry in ≈100 primary breast tumors with ascertained rs150550023 genotype. We found no evidence for an association of rs150550023 with the risk, age at onset, or prognosis of breast cancer. A possible synergism was observed with SNP309 in promoter P2 of MDM2. Mean mRNA levels of MDM2, p53, p21, and BAX were ≈1.5-3 fold elevated in TP53 wildtype tumors with the minor homozygous Del/Del genotype. However, systematic shifts in p53 protein levels or mutation rates were not observed, suggesting that the elevated p53 mRNA levels are due to regulatory feedback loops that compensate for the effects of rs150550023 on MDM2 expression.

Liu W, Wang Y, Luo J, Yuan H, Luo Z. Genetic Polymorphisms and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy-Induced Toxicities in Patients With Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Oncol 2020; 9:1573. [PMID: 32257953 PMCID: PMC7090160 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2019.01573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2019] [Accepted: 12/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Platinum-based agents, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, are indispensable for the treatment of lung cancer. The development of toxicity frequently necessitates dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy, despite the clinical response. Pharmacogenomics studies were reviewed to identify the possible genetic variants that underlie individual susceptibility to platinum-related toxicities. Method: We conducted a systematic search in PubMed and Embase for pharmacogenomics reports that focused on commonly reported platinum-induced toxicities, such as gastrointestinal (GI), hematological, neurological, and other toxicities, in patients diagnosed with lung cancer. Meta-analyses were conducted to determine the association between genetic polymorphisms and platinum-induced toxicity by checking the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) using random or fixed-effects models as appropriate. Results: Twenty eligible studies that met the inclusion criteria with sufficient data were extracted and presented comprehensively. A total of 16 polymorphisms from 11 genes were included in the meta-analysis. MTHFR rs1801131 and MDM2 rs1690924 were significantly correlated with platinum-induced GI toxicity (P = 0.04 and P = 0.02, respectively). Patients with the MTHFR rs1801131AA and MDM2 rs1690924TC/CC genotype tended to have a higher risk of GI toxicity than patients with other genotypes did (OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 0.86-2.18; and OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.29-0.88, respectively). Compared to carriers of the MTHFR rs1801133CC genotype, carriers of the CT/TT genotype had a significantly increased risk of hematological toxicity (P = 0.01, OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.12-2.52). Conclusion: In the future, physicians should pay careful attention to MTHFR and MDM2 for personalized chemotherapy treatment among patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
Background: Genetic factors play a substantial role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) etiology. Overexpression of the mousedouble minute 2 (MDM2) gene has been explored in many tumors. However, the role of MDM2 -309T>G (rs2279744) polymorphism in AML remains unclear. We have performed this study to examine the association of MDM2 -309T>G with AML in an Iranian population. Methods: We have examined the association of N MDM2 -309T>G polymorphism in 73 cases diagnosed with AML and 80 healthy controls by tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) PCR assay. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated on the risk genotypes and alleles. Results: The TT, GG and GG genotypes of MDM2 -309T>G polymorphism in patients were 32.9%, 23.2% and 43.9%, while in controls were 86.2%, 7.5% and 6.3%, respectively. Moreover, Frequency of mutant allele (G) was 55.6% in cases with AML and 10.0% in controls. The mutant homozygote genotype (GG) was associated with an increased susceptibility to AML (OR 1.471; 95% CI: 1.062-1.844; p=0.004). Conclusion: Our results showed that the MDM2 -309T>G polymorphism was significantly associated with increased risk of AML in the Iranian population. Thus, the MDM2 -309T>G polymorphism might be useful genetic susceptibility factors in the pathogenesis of AML.

Abstract
Mutations in certain genes have been suggested to be associated with the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which is the most common leukemia in adults. In a case-control study, 100 patients with CLL and 105 healthy individuals were investigated for Notch homolog 1, translocation-associated (Drosophila) (NOTCH1) c.7544-7545delCT, recombinant splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) c.2098A>G, mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) 40-bp insertion/deletion and myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MYD88) L265P mutations by using allele specific-polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR), a designed AS-PCR, PCR and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods, respectively. The presence of NOTCH1 and SF3B1 mutations were confirmed by genomic DNA sequencing. The NOTCH1 mutation was detected in 10% of patients and not detected in the control group. A higher frequency of NOTCH1 mutation was detected in patients with stage III CLL (62.5%) compared with stages 0-II CLL (37.5%) (odds ratio, 4.69-fold; 95% confidence interval, 1.0-21.9; P=0.049). The SF3B1 mutation was observed in 12% of the patients compared with 1.9% of the controls (P=0.012). The presence of MDM2 polymorphism was not associated with the risk or the stage of the disease. In addition, the MYD88 L265P mutation was not detected in the patients or the controls. The current study established the frequency of NOTCH1, SF3B1, MDM2 and MYD88 mutations in patients with CLL from the Kurdish population of Western Iran. In summary, a high frequency of NOTCH1 and SF3B1 mutations were identified in patients with CLL compared with healthy individuals, and the NOTCH1 mutation was associated with a high stage of the disease.

CP‑31398 attenuates endometrial cancer cell invasion, metastasis and resistance to apoptosis by downregulating MDM2 expression. Int J Oncol 2019; 54:942-954. [PMID: 30628640 PMCID: PMC6365028 DOI: 10.3892/ijo.2019.4681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2018] [Accepted: 10/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common malignancies of the female reproductive system, and metastasis is a major cause of mortality. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of CP-31398 in the migration, invasion and apoptosis of EC cells by its regulation of the expression of the murine double minute 2 (MDM2) gene. For this purpose, EC tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected, and the positive expression rate of MDM2 in these tissues was assessed. Subsequently, the cellular 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of CP-31398 was measured. The EC RL95-2 and KLE cell lines had a higher MDM2 expression and were thus selected for use in subsequent experiments. The EC cells were then treated with CP-31398 (2 µg/ml), and were transfected with siRNA against MDM2 or an MDM2 overexpression plasmid in order to examine the effects of CP-31398 and MDM2 on EC cell activities. The expression of p53, p21, Bad, Bax, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), cytochrome c (Cyt-c), caspase-3, Cox-2, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 was measured to further confirm the effects of CP-31398 on cell migration, invasion and apoptosis. Our results indicated that MDM2 was highly expressed in EC tissues. Notably, EC cell viability decreased with the increasing concentrations of CP-31398. The EC cells treated with CP-31398 or siRNA against MDM2 exhibited an increased apoptosis and a suppressed migration and invasion, corresponding to an increased expression of p53, p21, Bad, Bax, Cyt-c and caspase-3, as well as to a decreased expression of Bcl-2, Cox-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9. Moreover, treatment with CP-31398 and siRNA against MDM2 further enhanced these effects. Taken together, the findings of this study indicate that the CP-31398-mediated downregulation of MDM2 may suppress EC progression via its inhibitory role in EC cell migration, invasion and resistance to apoptosis. Therefore, treatment with CP-31398 may prove to be possible therapeutic strategy for EC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) and its regulator, the mouse double murine 2 (MDM2) protein homologue, influence tumorigenesis through their key roles in cell division and response to DNA damage. The MDM2 SNP309T>G (rs2279744) polymorphism in the promoter region of the MDM2 can cause dysfunction and inactivation of TP53, which promotes tumor progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between this polymorphism and breast cancer in a northeastern Iranian population. METHODS A case-control study with 128 female breast cancer patients and 143 healthy women was conducted. PCR-ARMS was performed to assess the MDM2 SNP309T>G (rs2279744) polymorphism. RESULTS No significant association was found between the GG genotype or G allele polymorphisms and breast cancer in patients or controls (p = 0.116, OR [95% CI]: 1.267 [0.616, 2.603] and p= 0.143, OR [95% CI]: 1.326 [0.908, 1.935], respectively). For the G allele polymorphism, a significant difference of 8 years in the average cancer diagnosis age was observed between TT and TG carriers (40.57 vs. 48.15 years, respectively, p = 0.029). CONCLUSION The SNP309T>G polymorphism in MDM2 may not be associated with breast cancer in this Iranian population.

Abstract
Tumor protein 53 (TP53), a tumor suppressor gene, is a vital cellular cancer suppressor in multicellular organisms. Murine double minute-2 (MDM2) is an oncoprotein that inhibits TP53 activity. A number of studies have examined the association of TP53 and MDM2 polymorphisms with the risk of common forms of cancer, but the findings remain inconclusive. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of the 40-bp insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (rs3730485) in the MDM2 promoter region and the 16-bp I/D polymorphism (rs17878362) in TP53 on the susceptibility of prostate cancer (PCa) in a sample of the Iranian population. This case-control study included 103 patients with pathologically confirmed PCa and 142 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The MDM2 40-bp I/D and TP53 16-bp I/D polymorphism was determined using polymerase chain reaction analysis. The results demonstrated that the MDM2 40-bp I/D polymorphism increased the risk of PCa in a co-dominant inheritance model [odds ratio (OR)=1.88; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.11-3.19; P=0.023, D/D vs. I/I], while this variant marginally increased the risk of PCa in a dominant model (OR=1.69; 95% CI=1.00-2.83; P=0.051, I/D+D/D vs. I/I). No significant association was observed between the TP53 16-bp I/D polymorphism and PCa. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that the 40-bp I/D polymorphism in the MDM2 promoter increased the risk of PCa in an Iranian population. Further investigations with diverse ethnicities and larger sample sizes are required to verify these results.

Abstract
Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1), a DNA repair protein, is important in preventing carcinogenesis. Two functional germ line variants -69G>A (rs174538) and +4150G>T (rs4246215) in the FEN1 gene have been associated with risk of various types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible impact of FEN1 polymorphisms on risk of breast cancer (BC) in a sample of Iranian subjects. The FEN1 -69G>A and +4150G>T polymorphisms were analyzed in a case-control study that included 266 BC patients and 225 healthy females. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to genotype the variants. The findings demonstrated that the FEN1 -69G>A and +4150G>T polymorphisms were not associated with BC risk in co-dominant, dominant and recessive inheritance models. The findings indicated that GG/GT, GA/GG and GA/TT genotypes significantly decreased the risk of BC when compared with -69GG/+4150GG. Furthermore, haplotype analysis indicated that -69G/+4150T as well as -69A/+4150G significantly decreased the risk of BC compared with -69G/+4150G. Thus, these findings demonstrated that haplotypes of FEN1 -69G>A and +4150G>T polymorphisms decreased the risk of BC in an Iranian population. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different ethnicities are required to validate the present findings.

Abstract
It has been suggested that genetic factors contribute to patients' vulnerability to breast cancer (BC). The programmed cell death 6 interacting protein (PDCD6IP) encodes for a protein that is known to bind to the products of the PDCD6 gene, which is involved in the apoptosis pathway. The aim of this case-control study is to investigate the relationship between the PDCD6IP 15 bp insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (rs28381975) and BC risk in an Iranian population. A total of 491 females, including 266 BC patients and 225 control subjects without cancer, were enrolled into the study. Our findings revealed that the PDCD6IP 15 bp I/D polymorphism decreased the risk of BC in codominant (OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.31-0.65, p < 0.0001, I/D versus DD; OR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.17-0.88, p = 0.030, I/I versus DD) and dominant (OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.30-0.63, p < 0.0001, D/I + I/I versus D/D) tested inheritance models. Also, the PDCD6IP I allele significantly decreased the risk of BC (OR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.45-0.78, p < 0.001) compared to the D allele.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is considered to be one of the most important causes of death worldwide, and it affects the Iranian female population a decade earlier than female in other parts of the world. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is a main subunit of the telomerase complex. MNS16A is located downstream of the hTERT gene and is recognized as the regulator of hTERT promoter activity. The aim of the present study was to access the possible impact of hTERT variants on BC risk in an Iranian population in southeast Iran. METHODS A total of 491 subjects including 266 BC patients and 225 healthy women participated in the study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to genotype the MNS16A variable number of tandem repeats and 177 bp ins/del polymorphisms in the hTERT gene. PCR-RFLP and ARMS-PCR were used to genotype hTERT rs2736098 and 2735940, respectively. The association between genotypes and BC was assessed by computing the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) from logistic regression analyses. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The MNS16A genotype frequency distribution in BC patients was: LL, 43.2%; LS, 51.1%; and SS, 5.7%, and in controls: LL, 29.5%; LS, 68.3%; and SS, 2.2%. The LS genotype decreased the risk of BC compared with LL (OR=0.51, 95% CI=0.35-0.75, p<0.001). The hTERT 177 bp ins/del polymorphism was not polymorphic in our population. All subjects had the ins/ins genotype. Our findings indicate that the MNS16A genotype and hTERT rs2736098 variant were associated with BC risk in the study. We also showed that the rs2736098 A/G polymorphism increased the risk of BC (OR=1.80, 95% CI=1.12-2.88, p=0.017, AG vs AA; OR=1.80, 95% CI=1.06-3.06, p=0.033, GG vs AA; OR=1.87, 95% CI=1.19-2.94, p=0.006, AG+GG vs AA). No significant association was found between the rs2735940 C/T variant and BC. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that the MNS16A genotype and the hTERT rs2736098 variant influence the risk of BC in an Iranian population in southeast Iran.
