The TP53 homolog p73 is structurally and functionally similar to TP53 and plays an important role in modulating cell-cycle control, apoptosis, and cell growth. G4C14-to-A4T14 is the most commonly studied polymorphism of this gene for its association with risk of cancers, but the results are confusing rather than conclusive. We performed a meta-analysis using 21 eligible studies with a total of 7581 patients and 10,413 controls to summarize the data for an association between the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism and cancer risk. Compared with the common GC/GC genotype, the AT carriers (AT/GC, AT/AT) had a 1.18-fold elevated risk of cancer (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.11-1.25, p<0.00001) in a dominant genetic model as estimated in a fixed effect model. The effect of the G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism was further evaluated through stratification analysis. In four lung cancer studies, the variant genotypes had a significantly increased risk of lung cancer (odds ratio [OR]=1.16, 95% CI=1.04-1.28, p=0.005). Similar phenomena were also found in two squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck studies (OR=1.32, 95% CI=1.12-1.56, p=0.0010), two oral cancer studies (OR=1.57, 95% CI=1.26-1.95, p<0.0001), and three colorectal cancer studies (OR=1.23, 95% CI=1.01-1.50, p=0.04). Increased risk of cancer associated with G4C14-to-A4T14 variant genotypes was pronounced in Caucasians (OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.11-1.31, p<0.00001), the Japanese population (OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.01-1.52, p=0.04), and the Korean population (OR=1.27, 95% CI=1.07-1.52, p=0.007). Our meta-analysis suggests that the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism genotypes (GC/AT+AT/AT) may be associated with an increased risk of cancer in most cancer types and ethnicities. 相似文献

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major pathogens that cause hand, foot, and mouth disease outbreaks in young children in the Asia-Pacific region in recent years. Human scavenger receptor class B 2 (SCARB2) is the main cellular receptor for EV71 on target cells. The requirements of the EV71-SCARB2 interaction have not been fully characterized, and it has not been determined whether SCARB2 serves as an uncoating receptor for EV71. Here we compared the efficiency of the receptor from different species including human, horseshoe bat, mouse, and hamster and demonstrated that the residues between 144 and 151 are critical for SCARB2 binding to viral capsid protein VP1 of EV71 and seven residues from the human receptor could convert murine SCARB2, an otherwise inefficient receptor, to an efficient receptor for EV71 viral infection. We also identified that EV71 binds to SCARB2 via a canyon of VP1 around residue Gln-172. Soluble SCARB2 could convert the EV71 virions from 160 S to 135 S particles, indicating that SCARB2 is an uncoating receptor of the virus. The uncoating efficiency of SCARB2 significantly increased in an acidic environment (pH 5.6). These studies elucidated the viral capsid and receptor determinants of enterovirus 71 infection and revealed a possible target for antiviral interventions. 相似文献
