Lynch-like Syndrome: Potential Mechanisms and Management. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14051115. [PMID: 35267422 PMCID: PMC8909420 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14051115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Lynch-like syndrome (LLS) is defined as colorectal cancer cases with microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of expression of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the absence of a germline mutation in these genes that cannot be explained by BRAF mutation or MLH1 hypermethylation. The application of the universal strategy for the diagnosis of Lynch syndrome (LS) in all CRCs is leading to an increase in the incidence of cases of LLS. It has been described that risk of cancer in relatives of LLS patients is in between of that found in Lynch syndrome families and sporadic cases. That makes LLS patients and their families a challenging group for which the origin of CRC is unknown, being a mixture between unidentified hereditary CRC and sporadic cases. The potential causes of LLS are discussed in this review, as well as methods for identification of truly hereditary cases. Abstract Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system genes, such as MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2. It is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome. Screening is regularly performed by using microsatellite instability (MSI) or immunohistochemistry for the MMR proteins in tumor samples. However, in a proportion of cases, MSI is found or MMR immunohistochemistry is impaired in the absence of a germline mutation in MMR genes, BRAF mutation, or MLH1 hypermethylation. These cases are defined as Lynch-like syndrome. Patients with Lynch-like syndrome represent a mixture of truly hereditary and sporadic cases, with a risk of colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives that is between the risk of Lynch syndrome in families and relatives of sporadic colon cancer cases. Although multiple approaches have been suggested to distinguish between hereditary and sporadic cases, a homogeneous testing protocol and consensus on the adequate classification of these patients is still lacking. For this reason, management of Lynch-like syndrome and prevention of cancer in these families is clinically challenging. This review explains the concept of Lynch-like syndrome, potential mechanisms for its development, and methods for adequately distinguishing between sporadic and hereditary cases of this entity.

Abstract
Folates have a pterine core structure and high metabolic activity due to their ability to accept electrons and react with O-, S-, N-, C-bounds. Folates play a role as cofactors in essential one-carbon pathways donating methyl-groups to choline phospholipids, creatine, epinephrine, DNA. Compounds similar to folates are ubiquitous and have been found in different animals, plants, and microorganisms. Folates enter the body from the diet and are also synthesized by intestinal bacteria with consequent adsorption from the colon. Three types of folate and antifolate cellular transporters have been found, differing in tissue localization, substrate affinity, type of transferring, and optimal pH for function. Laboratory criteria of folate deficiency are accepted by WHO. Severe folate deficiencies, manifesting in early life, are seen in hereditary folate malabsorption and cerebral folate deficiency. Acquired folate deficiency is quite common and is associated with poor diet and malabsorption, alcohol consumption, obesity, and kidney failure. Given the observational data that folates have a protective effect against neural tube defects, ischemic events, and cancer, food folic acid fortification was introduced in many countries. However, high physiological folate concentrations and folate overload may increase the risk of impaired brain development in embryogenesis and possess a growth advantage for precancerous altered cells.

Abstract
Background DNA repair systems play an important role in maintaining the integrity of the human genome. Deficiency in the repair capacity due to either mutations or inherited polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may contribute to variations in the DNA repair capacity and subsequently susceptibility to cancer. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the association between Excision repair cross-complementation groups 2 (ERCC2) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs rs1799793 and rs13181) and the response to platinum-based chemotherapy among patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methodology Polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to determine the polymorphism from a total of 150 OSCC patients and 150 normal tissues of same patients were collected as controls for this study. Results ERCC2 GA (Asp312Asn) AC (Lys751Gln) genotypes were significantly associated ( p = 0.0001 and p = 0.0004, respectively) with OSCC patients, when compared with the controls. These findings suggest that potentially functional SNPs in ERCC2 may contribute to OSCC risk. This study highlights the genetic variant that might play a role in mediating susceptibility to OSCC in this population. An understanding of DNA repair gene polymorphisms might not only enable risk assessment, but also response to therapy, which target the DNA repair pathway.

Abstract
The PharmacoScan pharmacogenomics platform screens for variation in genes that affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination, immune adverse reactions and targets. Among the 1,191 genes tested on the platform, 12 genes are expressed in the red cell membrane: ABCC1, ABCC4, ABCC5, ABCG2, CFTR, SLC16A1, SLC19A1, SLC29A1, ATP7A, CYP4F3, EPHX1 and FLOT1. These genes represent 5 ATP-binding cassette proteins, 3 solute carrier proteins, 1 ATP transport protein and 3 genes associated with drug metabolism and adverse drug reactions. Only ABCG2 and SLC29A1 encode blood group systems, JR and AUG, respectively. We propose red cells as an ex vivo model system to study the effect of heritable variants in genes encoding the transport proteins on the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Altered pharmacodynamics in red cells could also cause adverse reactions, such as haemolysis, hitherto unexplained by other mechanisms.

Abstract
Background Lynch‐like syndrome (LLS) represents around 50% of the patients fulfilling the Amsterdam Criteria II/revised Bethesda Guidelines, characterized by a strong family history of Lynch Syndrome (LS) associated cancer, where a causative variant was not identified during genetic testing for LS. Methods Using data extracted from a larger gene panel, we have analyzed next‐generation sequencing data from 22 mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MSH3, PMS1, MLH3, EXO1, POLD1, POLD3 RFC1, RFC2, RFC3, RFC4, RFC5, PCNA, LIG1, RPA1, RPA2, RPA3, POLD2, POLD4, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2) in 274 LLS patients. Detected variants were annotated and filtered using ANNOVAR and FILTUS software. Results Thirteen variants were revealed in MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6, all genes previously linked to LS. Five additional genes (EXO1, POLD1, RFC1, RPA1, and MLH3) were found to harbor 11 variants of unknown significance in our sample cohort, two of them being frameshift variants. Conclusion We have shown that other genes associated with the process of DNA MMR have a high probability of being associated with LLS families. These findings indicate that the spectrum of genes that should be tested when considering an entity like Lynch‐like syndrome should be expanded so that a more inclusive definition of this entity can be developed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the expression of the 3 major folate transporters-folate receptors (FRs), reduced folate carrier (RFC), and proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT)-in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We hypothesized that patterns of expression of folate transporters would be different in OSCC compared with normal oral epithelium. STUDY DESIGN We used immunohistochemistry to examine the expression of FR, RFC, and PCFT in 15 primary specimens collected from patients with OSCC, 2 human cadaveric samples of OSCC, and 12 normal human cadaveric oral tissues from a medical gross anatomy laboratory. Possible correlations between the expression of each folate transporter and patients' clinical data were determined. RESULTS All 3 folate transporters were highly expressed in normal oral epithelium. In contrast, OSCC samples generally demonstrated low expression of FR, RFC, and PCFT, with wide distribution in the invading cancer cells. There were no differences in folate transporter expression between OSCC samples collected from patients and from human cadavers. The lowest expression of FR and PCFT characterized less-differentiated tumors, and the lowest expression of RFC correlated with higher lymph node involvement. CONCLUSIONS Human oral cancer samples expressed decreased amounts of all 3 major folate transport proteins compared with controls from normal cadaveric oral tissues.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death in economically developed countries and the second leading cause of death in developing countries. The relationship between genetic polymorphisms and the risk of cancers has been widely researched. Excision repair cross-complementing group 2 (ERCC2) gene plays important roles in the nucleotide excision repair pathway. There is contrasting evidence on the association between the ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism and the risk of cancer. We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis in order to assess the correlation between these factors. We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Science Direct, Web of Science, and CNKI databases for studies published from January 1, 2005 to January 1, 2016. Finally, 86 articles with 38,848 cases and 48,928 controls were included in the analysis. The overall analysis suggested a significant association between the ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism and cancer risk. Furthermore, control source, ethnicity, genotyping method, and cancer type were used for subgroup analysis. The result of a trial sequential analysis indicated that the cumulative evidence is adequate; hence, further trials were unnecessary in the overall analysis for homozygote comparison. In summary, our results suggested that ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism is associated with increased cancer risk. A significantly increased cancer risk was observed in Asian populations, but not in Caucasian populations. Furthermore, the ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism is associated with bladder, esophageal, and gastric cancers, but not with breast, head and neck, lung, prostate, and skin cancers, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Further multi-center, well-designed studies are required to validate our results.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in folate pathway genes may influence susceptibility to pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This case-control study was undertaken to analyze the association of genetic polymorphisms (677C>T and 1298A>C) of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and reduced folate carrier (RFC1) (80G>A) with the risk of pediatric ALL in China. A total of 176 pediatric ALL patients and 170 matched healthy subjects (as controls) were included and DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood. SNaPshot single nucleotide polymorphism typing was used to determine the genotypes of MTHFR 677C>T, MTHFR 1298A>C, and RFC1 80G>A. All statistical analyses were conducted with SAS software (version 9.2; SAS Institute). There were no significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of MTHFR 677C>T, MTHFR 1298A>C, or RFC1 80G>A between patients and controls. No significant correlation was found between the combined genotypes of these polymorphisms and the risk of developing ALL in this study. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed for 677C>T and 1298A>C frequencies between the control and case groups. There was no association between MTHFR 677C>T, MTHFR 1298A>C, or RFC1 80G>A gene polymorphisms and risk of pediatric ALL in the Han Chinese population.
