Association between TNF-α rs1799964 and RAF1 rs1051208 MicroRNA binding site SNP and gastric cancer susceptibility in an Iranian population.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of this study was to find the relationship between rs1799964 in TNF-α gene as well as rs1051208 of RAF1 gene SNPs on GC in an Iranian population.

Background

Gastric cancer (GC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide after lung cancer. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is one of the most important factors in the pathogenesis of this cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms have a principle role in gene expression of TNF-α and miRNAs which may lead to gastric cancer.

Methods

In a case-control study, we investigated the risk of GC in 198 Iranians. For this purpose, 5 mL of peripheral blood was collected in EDTA -containing tube and genomic DNA was isolated. Genotyping of SNPs was also performed by PCR-RFLP; to approve the outcome, 10% of genotyping results with RFLP were sequenced.

Results

The comparison between case and control groups revealed a significant association between the rs1051208 C allele of RAF1 gene and GC (P = 0.04). We did not observe any remarkable association between TNF-α -1031 in gastric cancer patients and the healthy control group.

Conclusion

The results indicated that C allele in RAF1 gene plays a role in susceptibility to gastric cancer. Therefore, SNPs are among notable biomarkers for predicting susceptibility to dreadful diseases, especially cancers.

Project description:BackgroundTumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is an important cytokine in acute inflammatory response to infective factors. Based on investigation in different populations, it is thought that this response increases in patients with endometriosis due to the presence of cytokines such as TNF-α. This study aimed to examine the association of four TNF-α polymorphisms, namely -238G/A, -308G/A, -857C/T and -863C/A, with susceptibility to endometriosis in an Iranian population.Materials and methodsWe recruited 150 women with endometriosis and 150 women without endometriosis in this case-control study and collected 4 ml of blood from all subjects. After DNA extraction, the polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).ResultsThe allele frequency of TNF-α -863C/A in the case and control groups showed a significant difference [odds ratios (OR)=0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.41-0.99, P=0.047] but the result is not significant when Adjusting for multiple testing (P=0.188). No significant difference in the allele frequencies of -238G/A (OR=1.07, 95% CI=0.51-2.25, P=0.862), -308G/A (OR=0.79, 95% CI=0.43-1.45, P=0.438) and -857C/T (OR=1.03, 95% CI=0.66- 1.61, P=0.887) was observed. We adjusted all four polymorphism genotypes by age and body mass index (BMI), however, no significant difference was detected. There was an association between the case and control and BMI when adjusting by age (OR=1.082, 95% CI=1.009-1.162, P=0.028).ConclusionFor the first time the association of the four polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene with endometriosis has been conducted in women of Iranian origin. The present research reveals the -863 A allele may play a role in incidence of endometriosis among Iranian women. Development of endometriosis among those people with -863 A allele seems low. According to the results, the current study indicates that there might be a correlation between BMI and progression of endometriosis.
