Association of functionally important polymorphisms in cytochrome P4501B1 with lung cancer

In the present study, genotype and haplotype frequencies of four polymorphisms of cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) that cause amino acid changes (Arg-Gly at codon 48, Ala-Ser at codon 119, Leu-Val at 432 and Asn-Ser at codon 453) were studied in 200 patients suffering from lung cancer and equal number of controls. A significant difference was observed for the distribution of variant genotypes of CYP1B1Arg48Gly and Ala119Ser polymorphisms (CYP1B1*2) in cases when compared to the controls. No significant difference was observed for the distribution of variant genotypes of CYP1B1Leu432Val (CYP1B1*3) and CYP1B1Asn453Ser (CYP1B1*4) polymorphism. When the four SNPs were analyzed using a haplotype approach, SNPs at codon 48 (Arg48Gly) and codon 119 (Ala119Ser) exhibited complete linkage disequilibrium (LD) in all the cases and controls. Significant differences in the distribution of the three haplotypes (G-T-C-A, G-T-G-A and G-T-C-G) were observed in the cases when compared to controls. Tobacco use in the form of smoking as well as chewing was found to significantly increase the risk of lung cancer in patients by interacting with CYP1B1Ala119Ser genotypes demonstrating the role of gene-environment interaction in lung cancer. Further, the risk of lung cancer increased several fold in the patients carrying the genotype combinations of CYP1B1Ala119Ser and CYP1B1Leu432Val with GSTM1, a phase II enzyme suggesting the importance of gene-gene interactions in enhancing the susceptibility to lung cancer.     

Meta-analysis of the relationship between p21 Ser31Arg polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (also known as p21) is thought to be involved in tumor development by mediating cell cycle arrest through the inhibition of cyclin/CDK activity. To explore the relationship of Ser31Arg polymorphism in the p21 gene with the risk of developing lung cancer, we performed an overall and stratified meta-analysis based on ethnicity, lung cancer subtypes and source of controls, with six eligible studies (2366 cases and 3320 controls). No significant variation in lung cancer risk was detected in any of the genetic models in the overall, and the ethnicity-based and cancer subtype-based subgroup analyses. However, in the subgroup analysis based on source of controls, significant opposite associations were observed; a significantly increased lung cancer risk was observed in the hospital-based control subgroup, while a significantly decreased lung cancer risk was detected in the mixed-source control and unknown-source control subgroups. In summary, based on our meta-analysis, p21 Ser31Arg polymorphism does not appear to act as an independent lung cancer risk factor and is more likely to act together with other genetic and non-genetic factors in the development of lung cancer; this needs further investigation.     

Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of p21 (WAF1/CIP1) gene and its impact on expression and role of polymorphism in the risk of breast cancer

p21 (Waf-1) is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that plays essential roles in cell growth arrest, terminal differentiation, and apoptosis. Statistically significant difference in the level of methylation of p21/CIP1 (p < 0. 05) between the patients with breast cancer and the healthy controls was observed. Risk of breast cancer was increased in patients with hypermethylated p21/CIP1 promoter by 2.31-fold (OR = 2.31, 95 % CI 1.95–2.74). The downregulation of p21/CIP1 mRNA expression was statistically significant in patients with methylated promoter (p < 0.00) in comparison to patients with unmethylated genes. Downregulation of mRNA expression of p21/CIP1 was up to 79 % due to promoter hypermethylation. We examined several p21/CIP1 genotypes in the patients with breast cancer and found that there is no significant association of these p21/CIP1 genotypes with the risk of developing breast cancer. However, a significant 2.21-fold increase in the chance of developing breast cancer was observed in the candidates carrying at least one allele Arg mutant in p21/CIP1 genotype (i.e., Ser/Arg + Arg/Arg) with age >50 (OR = 2.21; 95 % CI 1.03–4.79).     

Correlation between human papillomavirus-associated cervical cancer and p53 codon 72 arginine/proline polymorphism

High-risk mucosal human papillomaviruses encode an E6 oncoprotein, which binds the cellular p53 tumor suppressor protein, thereby marking it for degradation through the ubiquitin-mediated pathway. A common p53 polymorphism at codon-72 of exon 4 results in translation to either arginine or proline. Recently reported data suggested an increased susceptibility to E6/ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the Arg72-p53 isoform and an over-representation of the homozygous Arg72-p53 genotype in cervical cancer patients. We have analyzed this polymorphism in a larger series of patients with cervical cancer and in controls in the Czech Republic. We found no statistically significant differences between the codon-72 p53 genotypes of cervical cancer patients and the control women. Based on these results, it is unlikely that Arg72-p53 is associated with an increased risk for human papillomavirus-associated cervical tumor development in Czech women.     

The XRCC1 399 glutamine allele is a risk factor for adenocarcinoma of the lung

Defects in the repair and maintenance of DNA increase risk for cancer. X-ray cross-complementing group 1 protein (XRCC1) is involved with the repair of DNA single-strand breaks. A nucleotide substitution of guanine to adenine leading to a non-conservative amino acid change was identified in the XRCC1 gene at codon 399 (Arg/Gln). This change is associated with higher levels of aflatoxin B1-adducts and glycophorin A somatic mutations. A case-control study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the 399Gln allele is positively associated with risk for adenocarcinoma of the lung. XRCC1 genotypes were assessed at codon 399 in 172 cases of lung adenocarcinoma and 143 cancer-free controls. Two ethnic populations were represented, non-Hispanic White and Hispanic. The distribution of XRCC1 genotypes differed between cases and controls. Among cases, 47.7% were Arg/Arg, 35.5% were Arg/Gln, and 16.9% were Gln/Gln. Among controls, XRCC1 allele frequencies were 45.5% for Arg/Arg, 44.8% for Arg/Gln, and 9.8% for Gln/Gln. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between lung adenocarcinoma and the G/G genotype relative to the A/A or A/G genotypes. In non-Hispanic White participants, the lung cancer risk associated with the G/G genotype increased significantly after adjustment for age (OR=2.81; 95% CI, 1.2-7.9; P=0.03) and increased further after adjustment for smoking (OR=3.25; 95% CI, 1.2-10.7; P=0.03). Among all groups, a significant association was found between the G/G homozygote and lung cancer (OR=2.45; 95% CI, 1.1-5.8; P=0.03) after adjustment for age, ethnicity, and smoking. This study links a functional polymorphism in the critical repair gene XRCC1 to risk for adenocarcinoma of the lung.     

Gene polymorphism of 3'APO-VNTR in Egyptians with coronary artery disease

BackgroundCoronary artery diseases (CAD) are big health problem in both developed and developing countries. It is considered one of the main causes of death in the world. Dyslipidemia increases the risk of CAD incidences. It is aimed in this worktop study the impact of 3''APOBVNTRgene on CAD incidences.MethodsEighty CAD patients and ninety-three healthy volunteers are enrolled in this study. Lipid parameters were estimated in both groups and PCR technique has been performed to analyze 3''APOB-VNTR gene polymorphism.ResultsThe genotypes 31/31, 31/37, 37/37 and 31/44 are more predominant in both groups. The frequency of 24/31 in CAD patients is (0.137) while it is completely absent in the control group. Our results show that there is an increase in the frequency of various genotypes (e.g., 17/31 and 21/34 genotypes) in the control group compared to theca patients group.Conclusions3''APOB-VNTR gene could probably be considered a risk factor for CAD incidences and may help to early diagnose them.     

A p53 codon 72 polymorphism associated with prostate cancer development and progression in Japanese

An association between the Pro/Pro genotype of p53 codon 72 and a lower risk of prostate cancer in Caucasians was recently reported. However, the association of this polymorphism with prostate cancer risk in a Japanese population has not been clarified. We performed a case-control study consisting of 114 prostate cancer patients and 105 noncancer controls. Sixty-nine percent (79 of 114) of the patients had a positive family history. The genotypic frequencies in the controls were 39.0% for Arg/Arg, 54.3% for Arg/Pro and 6.7% for Pro/Pro; they were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. When a comparison of the distribution of the p53 codon 72 polymorphism was made between patients with a first-degree family history and all control subjects, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for prostate cancer associated with the Arg/Arg, Arg/Pro and Pro/Pro genotypes were 1.00, 0.99 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.53-1.88] and 2.80 (95% CI 1.04-7.53), respectively. When stratification of cases was performed based on clinical stage (localized or metastatic cancer) and pathological grade (a Gleason score of <7 or > or =7), there tended to be a greater number of patients with localized cancers among those patients with the Arg/Pro genotype than among those with the Arg/Arg genotype (overall cases: age-adjusted OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.13-1.00, p = 0.049; positive family history cases: age-adjusted OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.075-0.84, p = 0.025). In addition, there tended to be a greater number of patients with low-grade cancers among those with the Pro/Pro genotype than among those with other genotypes (overall cases: age-adjusted OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.13-1.30, p = 0.13; positive family history cases: age-adjusted OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.004-0.89, p = 0.035). The present findings suggest that the Pro/Pro genotype of p53 codon 72 played a role in prostate cancer susceptibility in a Japanese population. However, the Pro allele did not appear to worsen such clinical parameters as clinical stage or pathological grade.
