Background: Urological cancers (prostate cancer and bladder cancers) are the most common cancers in Western population and its rate is increasing in the Eastern World. Autophagy has appeared as a fundamental repair mechanism for degrading damaged organelles and proteins. It was clear that autophagy gene polymorphisms are correlated with development of inflammatory bowel disease and it can also be related with prostate cancer (PCa) or bladder cancer (BCa). In this study, we aimed to determine if ...[more]

Project description:Objective To perform a meta-analysis to evaluate studies investigating the association between ATG16L1 gene polymorphism and Crohn's disease. Methods PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases were searched for all studies focusing on the association of ATG16L1 and Crohn's disease. Combined odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for four genetic models (allelic model: G allele versus A allele; additive model: GG versus AA; dominant model: GA?+?GG versus AA; recessive model: GG versus GA?+?AA) using either a random effects or fixed effects model. Results A total of 47 case-control studies involving 18?638 cases and 30?181 controls were included in the final meta-analysis. There was a significant association between ATG16L1 and Crohn's disease for all four genetic models. Significant associations were also shown in subgroup analyses when stratified by study design (population- or hospital-based). Conclusion In this meta-analysis, the ATG16L1 genotype was significantly associated with the risk of developing Crohn's disease.

Project description:Lysosome associated protein transmembrane 4 β (LAPTM4B) is an oncogene associated with many human cancers. In the present study we aimed to examine the possible association between LAPTM4B polymorphism and risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in an Iranian population. This case control study was performed on 168 patients with PCa and 176 controls with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood and LAPTM4B genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction. The distributions of LAPTM4B genotypes were significantly different between PCa patients (60.7% for *1/1, 32.8% for *1/2, and 6.5% for *2/2) and controls (44.9% for *1/1, 49.4% for *1/2, and 5.7% for *2/2). Both the *1/2 and *1/2+*2/2 genotypes significantly decreased the risk of PCa compared with the *1/1 genotype (OR = 49, 95% CI = 0.31-0.77, p = 0.002 and OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.34-0.81, p = 0.004, respectively). The minor allele (LAPTM4B*2) was associated with a decreased risk of PCa compared with the LAPTM4B*1 allele (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.48-0.96, p = 0.031). Moreover, LAPTM4B polymorphism was not associated with clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients. The results of this study showed that LAPTM4B*2 was associated with a decreased risk of PCa but the clinicopathological characteristics of PCa were not linked to LAPTM4B polymorphism. Further studies with larger sample sizes and different ethnicities are needed to confirm our findings.

Project description:We evaluated the genotypes of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) in patients with premature ejaculation (PE) to determine the role of genetic factors in the etiopathogenesis of PE and possibly to identify the patient subgroups. A total of 70 PE patients and 70 controls were included in this study. All men were heterosexual, had no other disorders and were either married or in a stable relationship. PE was defined as ejaculation that occurred within 1 min of vaginal intromission. Genomic DNA from patients and controls was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction, and allelic variations of the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) were determined. The 5-HTTLPR (serotonin transporter promoter gene) genotypes in PE patients vs. controls were distributed as follows: L/L 16% vs. 17%, L/S 30% vs. 53% and S/S 54% vs. 28%. We examined the haplotype analysis for three polymorphisms of the 5-HTTLPR gene: LL, LS and SS. The appropriateness of the allele frequencies in the 5-HTTLPR gene was analyzed by the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium using the chi2-test. The short (S) allele of the 5-HTTLPR gene was significantly more frequent in PE patients than in controls (P<0.05). We suggest that the 5-HTTLPR gene plays a role in the pathophysiology of all primary PE cases. Further studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between 5-HTTLPR gene polymorphism and patient subgroup (such as primary and secondary PE) responses to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors as well as ethnic differences.

Project description:BackgroundWe conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between the glutathione S-transferase μ1 (GSTM1)- and glutathione S-transferase θ1 (GSTT1)- null genotypes and susceptibility to bladder cancer.MethodsWe identified association reports from the databases of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and the China Biological Medicine Database (CBM disc) on July 1, 2017 and synthesized eligible investigations. Results were expressed using odds ratios (ORs) for dichotomous data, and we also calculated 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsIn this meta-analysis, we found that the GSTM1-null genotype was associated with bladder cancer risk in the overall population, and individually in whites, Africans and Asians (overall population: OR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.31-1.48, P<0.00001; whites: OR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.26-1.54, P<0.00001; Africans: OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.16-2.05, P = 0.003; Asians: OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.33-1.59, P<0.00001). The GSTT1-null genotype was associated with bladder cancer risk in the overall population, but not in whites, in Africans or Asians (overall population: OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01-1.22, P = 0.03; whites: OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.99-1.36, P = 0.07; Africans: OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 0.65-1.76, P = 0.79; Asians: OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.91-1.22, P = 0.51). Interestingly, a dual-null GSTM1-GSTT1 genotype was associated with bladder cancer risk in the overall population and in Asians (overall population: OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.15-1.92, P = 0.002; Asians: OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.15-2.28, P = 0.006). In conclusion, the GSTM1-null, GSTT1-null and dual-null GSTM1-GSTT1 genotypes might be associated with the onset of bladder cancer, but additional genetic-epidemiological studies should be conducted to explore this association further.

Project description:IntroductionProstate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies among men in Western populations. Evidence reported in the literature suggests that zinc may be related to prostate cancer. In this study we evaluated the association of serum zinc levels and polymorphisms in genes encoding zinc-dependent proteins with prostate cancer in Poland.MethodsThe study group consisted of 197 men affected with prostate cancer and 197 healthy men. Serum zinc levels were measured and 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms in MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-13, MT2A genes were genotyped.ResultsThe mean serum zinc level was higher in prostate cancer patients than in healthy controls (898.9±12.01 μg/l vs. 856.6±13.05 μg/l, p<0.01). When compared in quartiles a significant association of higher zinc concentration with the incidence of prostate cancer was observed. The highest OR (OR = 4.41, 95%CI 2.07-9.37, p<0.01) was observed in 3rd quartile (>853.0-973.9 μg/l). Among five analyzed genetic variants, rs11568818 in MMP-7 appeared to be correlated with 2-fold increased prostate cancer risk (OR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.19-4.82, p = 0.015).ConclusionOur results suggest a significant correlation of higher serum zinc levels with the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The polymorphism rs11568818 in MMP-7 gene was also associated with an increased prostate cancer risk in Poland.

Project description:Asthma is a prevalent chronic obstructive disease of the airways. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between asthma and IL-17F gene 74488 T > C, IL-17A gene -197G > A, and IL17A gene -737C > T polymorphisms in Turkish population. In our study, peripheral blood samples collected from a total of 127 subjects, with 65 in the patient group and 62 in the control group, were analyzed for IL-17F gene 74488 T > C, IL-17A gene -197G > A, and IL17A gene -737C > T polymorphisms using next-generation sequencing. There was no statistically significant relationship between IL-17A gene -197G > A and IL-17A gene -737C > T polymorphisms and the risk of developing asthma. It was found that the risk of developing asthma was 2.9-fold higher in individuals with a C allele in the IL-17F gene 7488 T > C polymorphic site than the individuals with a T allele. It was shown that ATT and GCT haplotype carriers had a greater disease risk compared with the GTT haplotype carriers. In conclusion, IL-17F gene 7488 T > C polymorphism was found to be associated with asthma in the Turkish population. The IL-17 gene should be further investigated as a potential candidate gene in predicting asthma susceptibility and in the treatment of asthma.

Project description:BackgroundLong noncoding RNAs increase the overexpression of oncogenes. Cancer development and metastasis of cancer may occur as a result of overexpression of oncogenes. Polymorphisms in the genes (such as HOTAIR, etc.) in which long noncoding RNAs are synthesized affect the expression of these genes. Therefore, these polymorphisms may play a role in cancer development and cancer metastasis. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between HOTAIR gene rs1899663 G>T polymorphism with colorectal cancer.MethodsThe current study examined the HOTAIR gene rs1899663 G>T polymorphism in 100 patients with colorectal cancer and 93 healthy persons by a real-time polymerase chain reaction.ResultsThe G and T allele frequencies of the HOTAIR rs1899663 polymorphism were significantly different between the case and control groups (P = .01). The persons carrying the G allele had a protective effect against colorectal cancer, while individuals carrying the T allele were predisposed to colorectal cancer (P = .001). Four of 5 colorectal cancer recurrence patients had the TT genotype (P = .02).ConclusionThis research is the first to demonstrate the relationship between colorectal cancer and the HOTAIR gene rs1899663 polymorphism in the Turkish population, which is a Caucasian population. Our results suggest that the rs1899663 G allele has a protective role for colorectal cancer in the Turkish population. However, it would be appropriate to conduct this research with a larger sample to confirm this result in the Turkish population.

Project description:Previous studies had researched the relationship between rs9642880 gene polymorphism and bladder cancer risk, but the results remained unclear. The comprehensive meta-analysis was performed to clarify this possible association. Relevant articles were searched from Pubmed, Embase and web of science. Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of the association. The assessment of publication bias was conducted by Begg's funnel plots and Egger's regression test. A total of 7 casecontrol studies involving 4072 cases and 4898 controls were included in our study. Overall, an obvious relationship between rs9642880 polymorphism and increased risk of bladder cancer were detected in all models. Besides, the positive results were observed among both Caucasians and Asians when stratified by ethnicity. Moreover, when stratified by genotyping method, the significant results were detected in all genotyping methods except Sequenom. In addition, in the subgroup analysis by source of control, significant results were detected in both population and hospital based controls. This present meta-analysis with accurate and reliable results indicated that the T allele of SNP rs9642880 confers susceptibility to bladder cancer in both Asian and Caucasian populations.
