The polymorphisms of ANXA6 influence head and neck cancer susceptibility in the Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common malignant tumor worldwide and imposes a serious economic burden on society and individuals. Annexin has been implicated in multiple functions which are essential in HNC development, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, and invasion. This study focused on the linkage between ANXA6 variants and HNC susceptibility in Chinese people.

Methods

Eight SNPs in ANXA6 from 139 HNC patients and 135 healthy controls were genotyped by the Agena MassARRAY platform. The correlation of SNPs with HNC susceptibility was evaluated using odds ratio and 95% confidence interval calculated by logistic regression using PLINK 1.9.

Results

Overall analysis results demonstrated that rs4958897 was correlated with an increased HNC risk (allele: OR = 1.41, p = 0.049; dominant: OR = 1.69, p = 0.039), while rs11960458 was correlated with reduced HNC risk (OR = 0.54, p = 0.030). In age ≤ 53, rs4958897 was related to reduce HNC risk. In males, rs11960458 (OR = 0.50, p = 0.040) and rs13185706 (OR = 0.48, p = 0.043) were protective factors for HNC, but rs4346760 was a risk factor for HNC. Moreover, rs4346760, rs4958897, and rs3762993 were also correlated with increased nasopharyngeal carcinoma risk.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that ANXA6 polymorphisms are linked to the susceptibility to HNC in the Chinese Han population, indicating that ANXA6 may serve as a potential biomarker for HNC prognosis and diagnosis.

Project description:BackgroundThe identification of susceptibility genes for specific types of cancer can provide necessary information for the complete characterization of cancer syndromes. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs465498, rs17728461, rs4488809, rs753955, rs13361707, rs9841504, rs2274223, and rs13042395, were reported by genome wide association studies (GWASs) to be closely related to the susceptibility of lung cancer (LC), gastric cancer (GC) or esophageal cancer (EC) in Han population from northern or southern China. However, Chinese Han people from different geographic areas may have different genetic backgrounds. This study aims to assess the genetic associations of the eight SNPs mentioned above with three cancers risk in a Han population from northwest China.MethodsA total of 186 cancer-free controls and 436 cases with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (159 cases), non-cardia GC (167 cases) or EC (110 cases) were enrolled in this study. Chi-square test and polytomous logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the association between eight cancer-related SNPs and three cancers in a Han Chinese population from northwest China. The logistic regression results were adjusted for confounding factors and Benjamini and Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) method was used to adjust the multiple hypothesis tests. Association analyses by cigarette smoking or alcohol drinking status were analyzed by crossover analyses.ResultsOne of the eight SNPs, rs17728461 was associated with NSCLC susceptibility (in a heterozygous model, OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.27-0.72, p = 0.001). Two SNPs, rs753955 and rs13042395, were associated with the risk of non-cardia GC in different genetic models (p < 0.05). No SNPs were associated with EC. The crossover analyses showed that the rs13042395 CT genotype, combined with cigarette smoking or alcohol drinking, could further increase the risk for non-cardia GC (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThese results indicated that rs17728461 may be specifically associated with the risk of NSCLC. rs753955 and rs13042395 were specifically associated with susceptibility to non-cardia GC in Ningxia Han Chinese. Susceptibility-associated polymorphisms in the northwestern Han Chinese were not very consistent with those in the northern Han Chinese or southern Han Chinese. The validation of these findings with a functional evaluation and a larger population is still required.
