Abstract
Cancer incidence is increasingly seen in younger individuals. Molecular distinctions between young and elderly patients at onset are understudied. This study used public databases to explore genomic, transcriptomic, and immune-related features across age groups in cervical cancer. Additionally, it aims to create a prognostic model applicable across diverse age cohorts, enabling precise patient stratification, and personalized therapies. Gene mutations, expression data, and clinicopathological information were obtained from 317 cervical cancer patients. These patients were divided into a young group and an old group based on the median age of onset. The characteristics of differential gene mutation, gene expression, and immune cells analysis were analyzed by R software. Finally, the prognostic model was constructed by univariate Cox, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and multivariate Cox regression analyses of angiogenic and immune gene sets. Its validity was further confirmed using an additional 300 cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma tissues. Cervical cancer patients at elderly onset age exhibit a significantly higher frequency of NOTCH1 and TP53 driver mutations compared to young patients, along with a notably higher tumor mutational burden. However, there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of genomic instability and age-related mutational signatures. Differential gene expression analysis revealed that the young group significantly upregulated interferon-alpha and gamma responses and exhibited significantly higher activity in multiple metabolic pathways. Immune microenvironment analysis indicated enrichment of dendritic cells and natural killer cells in the young group, while transforming growth factor-β signature was enriched in the elderly group, indicating a higher degree of immune exclusion. A multigene prognostic model based on angiogenesis and T cell immune gene sets showed excellent prognostic performance independent of clinical factors such as age. High-risk groups identified by the model exhibit significant activation of tumor-promoting processes, such as metastasis and angiogenesis. Our study reveals distinct patterns in cancer-driving mechanisms, biological processes, and immune system status between young and elderly patients at onset with cervical cancer. These findings shed light on the age-specific underlying mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Furthermore, an independent molecular prognostic model is constructed to provide valuable references for patient stratification and the development of potential drug targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND miRNAs are non-coding RNAs participating actively in the post-translational regulation of oncogenes, tumor suppressor, and DNA repair genes implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aims to examine the association of the variants miR-27a (rs895819 A>G), miR-196a2 (rs11614913 T>G) and miR-146a (rs2910164 C>G) in Mexican CRC patients. METHODS DNA samples from 183 patients and 186 healthy Mexican subjects were analyzed. Variants were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methodology. Association was calculated by the odds ratio (OR) and adjusted by the Bonferroni test. RESULTS Patients carrying the G/G genotype of the rs895819 variant in the miR-27a gene showed an increased risk of CRC (19% vs 12%, P=0.013). A similar tendency was noticed for patients younger than 50 years carrying A/G (48% vs 41%, P=0.014). The A/G genotype in TNM stages I+II (55.7% vs 40.8%, P=0.011) and tumor location in the colon (69.5 vs 40.8%, P=0.001) were also increased. For the variant rs11614913 of the miR-196a2 gene, carriers of the C/C genotype showed an increased risk of CRC (32% vs 22%, P=0.009). This genotype was more frequent in TNM stage III+IV (36.8% vs 22.5%, P=0.007) and the tumor had a more recurrent location in the rectum (31.6% vs 22.5%, P=0.013). The rs2910164 variant of the miR-146a gene was found to have no significant risk associations. CONCLUSION Our results reveal that the rs895819 variant in miR-27a and rs11614913 in miR-196a2 have a substantial impact on the development of CRC.

Functional Screen for microRNAs Suppressing Anchorage-Independent Growth in Human Cervical Cancer Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23094791. [PMID: 35563182 PMCID: PMC9100801 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23094791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The progression of anchorage-dependent epithelial cells to anchorage-independent growth represents a critical hallmark of malignant transformation. Using an in vitro model of human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced transformation, we previously showed that acquisition of anchorage-independent growth is associated with marked (epi)genetic changes, including altered expression of microRNAs. However, the laborious nature of the conventional growth method in soft agar to measure this phenotype hampers a high-throughput analysis. We developed alternative functional screening methods using 96- and 384-well ultra-low attachment plates to systematically investigate microRNAs regulating anchorage-independent growth. SiHa cervical cancer cells were transfected with a microRNA mimic library (n = 2019) and evaluated for cell viability. We identified 84 microRNAs that consistently suppressed growth in three independent experiments. Further validation in three cell lines and comparison of growth in adherent and ultra-low attachment plates yielded 40 microRNAs that specifically reduced anchorage-independent growth. In conclusion, ultra-low attachment plates are a promising alternative for soft-agar assays to study anchorage-independent growth and are suitable for high-throughput functional screening. Anchorage independence suppressing microRNAs identified through our screen were successfully validated in three cell lines. These microRNAs may provide specific biomarkers for detecting and treating HPV-induced precancerous lesions progressing to invasive cancer, the most critical stage during cervical cancer development.

[PMID: 35770306 PMCID: PMC9251994 DOI: 10.1177/15330338221109798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background:MiR-196a2 rs11614913 polymorphism has been studied in a wide range of cancers throughout the years. Despite a large number of epidemiological studies performed in almost all ethnic populations, the contribution of this polymorphism to cancer risk is still inconclusive. Therefore, this updated meta-analysis was performed to estimate a meticulous correlation between miR-196a2 rs11614913 variant and cancer susceptibility. Methods: A systematic study search was carried out using PubMed, ScienceDirect, CNKI, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases following PRISMA guidelines to find necessary literature up to December 15, 2021. Pooled odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were estimated using RevMan 5.4 based on ethnicities, cancer types, control sources, and genotyping methods. Results: A total of 152 studies, including 120 135 subjects (53 818 patients and 66 317 controls; 140 studies, after removing studies that deviated from HWE: 51 459 cases and 62 588 controls), were included in this meta-analysis. Quantitative synthesis suggests that the miR-196a2 rs11614913 genetic variant is significantly correlated with the reduced risk of overall cancer in CDM2, CDM3, RM, and AM (odds ratio < 1 and P < .05). It is also observed from ethnicity-based subgroup analysis that rs11614913 polymorphism is significantly (P < .05) linked with cancer in the Asian (in CDM2, CDM3, RM, AM) and the African population (in CDM1, CDM3, ODM). Stratified analysis based on the cancer types demonstrated a significantly decreased correlation for breast, hepatocellular, lung, and gynecological cancer and an increased association for oral and renal cell cancer. Again, the control population-based subgroup analysis reported a strongly reduced correlation for HB population in CDM2, RM, and AM. A substantially decreased risk was also observed for other genotyping methods in multiple genetic models. Conclusions:MiR-196a2 rs11614913 variant is significantly correlated with overall cancer susceptibility. Besides, rs11614913 is correlated with cancer in Asians and Africans. It is also correlated with breast, gynecological, hepatocellular, lung, oral, and renal cell cancer.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to systematically summarize and investigate the association of miRNA-124 rs531564, miRNA-218 rs11134527, miRNA-146a rs2910164, miRNA-196a2 rs11614913, and miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms with cervical cancer. A systematic review was performed to identify relevant studies using Embase and PubMed databases. A chi-square-based Q-test combined with the inconsistency index (I 2) was used to check the heterogeneity between studies. A total of six case-control studies on rs2910164 and rs11614913, 4 studies on rs3746444 and rs11134527, and three studies on rs531564 were included. No evidence of association was found between miR-146a rs2910164, miR-196a2 rs11614913, miRNA-499 rs3746444, and miR-218 rs11134527 polymorphisms and cervical cancer risk in all the genetic models. The miR-124 rs531564 polymorphism was associated with a statistically increased risk of cervical cancer in a homozygote model (CC vs. GG: OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.40-5.91, P H = 0.887), dominant model (GC/CC vs. GG: OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.07-1.80, P H = 0.409), and recessive model (CC vs. GC/GG: OR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.58-3.23, P H = 0.979). However, this finding should be interpreted with caution for limited samples and heterogeneity. Large-scale and well-designed studies are needed to validate our result.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the fourth most common gynecological malignancies and has been identified as the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded sequences of noncoding RNAs that are approximately 22-24 nucleotides in length. They modulate posttranscriptional mRNA expression and play critical roles in cervical cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes may alter miRNA expression and maturation and have been associated with various cancers. This review mainly focuses on the roles of SNPs in miRNA genes in the development of cervical cancer and summarizes the research progress of miRNA SNPs in cervical cancer and their molecular regulation mechanisms.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) is of the BMP subfamily, and has effects on female fertility by regulating steroidogenesis, granulosa cell states, and follicular development. In the present study, there was assessment of the combined genotypes formed by the three variants within the 3'-UTR of BMP7 gene as associations with sow reproductive functions. The 3'-UTR of the BMP7 gene of pigs was identified using the 3' RACE assay, and its full-length sequence was found to be 1538 bp in length. Multiple RNA regulatory elements were detected in this region, luciferase activity assays were performed and results indicated miR-22-3p affects BMP7 by directly binding to the miRNA response element in the 3'-UTR (c.2358-2382). In addition, two novel complete linkage variants, c.2256 G > C and a 7-bp indel (c.2259-2265), were identified within the 3'-UTR of the BMP7 gene of pigs. Importantly, combined genotypes with these two novel variants and c.1569A > G, a variant previously identified in the BMP7 3'-UTR of pigs, were associated with sow reproductive traits, including the total number of piglets born, number of dead piglets at birth, and litter weight in the Yorkshire pig population studies. Results from the present study confirm that BMP7 is a candidate gene for the reproductive traits in Yorkshire sows.

Abstract
Background Besides environment and living habits, such as a sedentary lifestyle, smoking and drinking, genetic variation also plays an important role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study was aimed to investigate the role of miR‑27a rs895819 polymorphism on CRC risk in Chinese population. Methods In a case‐control study including 208 CRC and 312 age‐ and gender‐matched healthy control subjects, the rs895819 polymorphism was genotyped using the TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Furthermore, a pooled analysis based on eligible studies was performed by using the STATA software. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that the rs895819 polymorphism was not associated with CRC risk. However, a pooled analysis based on five studies from Chinese population showed a statistically significant association between the rs895819 polymorphism and CRC risk (GG vs AA: OR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.27‐1.92, Pz < .01; (AG + GG) vs AA: OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.01‐1.30, Pz = .04; GG vs (AG + AA): OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.27‐1.88, Pz < .01; G vs A: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.09‐1.33, Pz < .01). Conclusion Our study suggests that miR‑27a rs895819 polymorphism plays an important role in CRC risk in Chinese population and may serve as a valuable biomarker for predicting an individual's susceptibility to CRC.
