Klotho (rs1207568 and rs564481) gene variants and colorectal cancer risk.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

Whereas colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide, klotho gene has been reported as a tumor suppressor gene. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between klotho (rs1207568 and rs564481) variants and CRC in Egyptian patients.

Materials and methods

A case-control study comprising 100 patients with CRC and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls was conducted. Genotyping of klotho was performed by polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers.

Results

The frequencies of the A allele of rs1207568 and the AC haplotype were significantly higher in patients with CRC than in the controls (p=0.019 and p=0.005, respectively).

Conclusion

We propose that klotho (rs1207568 and rs564481) variants play a significant role in colorectal carcinogenesis and that the klotho protein could be a target for oncotherapy.

Project description:BackgroundSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes have a potential clinical value in predicting treatment outcomes. In the current study, we examined the association of SNPs in the genes XRCC1-rs25487, ERCC1-rs11615, ERCC2-rs238406, and ERCC2-rs13181 with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity during chemotherapy.MethodsSNPs were analysed in 590 CRC cases and 300 controls using TaqMan technology. The association of SNPs with CRC risk and toxicity during chemotherapy was analysed using Chi2 test. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test was used to measure the effects of the SNPs on RFS and OS.ResultsThe CC genotype of ERCC2-rs238406 and the ERCC2-rs13181 C allele were associated with a significantly increased risk of CRC. The ERCC1-rs11615 genotype T/T was associated with stomatitis in adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.03). Also, more patients with the ERCC2-rs13181 C allele needed dose reduction compared to patients with the A/A genotype (p = 0.02). In first line chemotherapy, more patients with the ERCC1-rs11615 C allele suffered from nausea compared to those with the T/T genotype (p = 0.04) and eye reactions and thrombocytopenia were more common in patients with the ERCC2-rs13181 C allele compared to the A/A genotype (p = 0.006 and p = 0.004, respectively). ERCC2- rs238406 C/C was also associated with a higher frequency of thrombocytopenia (p = 0.03). A shorter 5-year OS was detected in stage I & II CRC patients with the ERCC2- rs238406 C allele (p = 0.02). However, there was no significant association between the SNPs and 5-year RFS.ConclusionsBoth SNPs in ERCC2 were associated with risk of CRC as well as toxicity during first line treatment. In addition, ERCC2- rs238406 was linked to OS in early stage CRC. The ERCC1-rs11615 variant was associated with toxicity during adjuvant chemotherapy. The results add support to previous findings that SNPs in ERCC1 and ERCC2 have a prognostic and predictive value in clinical management of CRC.
