Association of LINC00673 Genetic Variants with Progression of Oral Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a multifactorial malignancy, and its high incidence and mortality rate remain a global public health burden. Polymorphisms in the long intergenic noncoding RNA 673 (LINC00673) have been currently connected to the predisposition to various cancer types. The present study attempted to explore the impact of LINC00673 gene polymorphisms on the risk and progression of OSCC. Three LINC00673 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs11655237, rs9914618, and rs6501551, were evaluated in 1231 OSCCC cases and 1194 cancer-free controls. We did not observe any significant association of three individual SNPs with the risk of OSCC between the case and control group. However, while assessing the clinicopathological parameters, patients carrying at least one minor allele of rs9914618 (GA and AA; OR, 1.286; 95% CI, 1.008-1.642; p = 0.043) were found to develop lymph node metastasis more often compared to those who are homozygous for the major allele. Further stratification analyses revealed that this genetic correlation with increased risk of lymphatic spread was further fortified in habitual betel quid chewers (OR, 1.534; 95% CI, 1.160-2.028; p = 0.003) or smokers (OR, 1.320; 95% CI, 1.013-1.721; p = 0.040). Moreover, through analyzing the dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we found that elevated LINC00673 levels were associated with the development of large tumors in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and the risk of lymphatic spread in smokers. These data demonstrate a joint effect of LINC00673 rs9914618 with betel nut chewing or smoking on the progression of oral cancer.

Project description:BackgroundAs Lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF/p75) is an important co-factor involved in HIV-1 integration, the LEDGF/p75-IN interaction is a promising target for the new class of allosteric HIV integrase inhibitors (LEDGINs). Few data are available on the genetic variability of LEDGF/p75 and the influence on HIV disease in vivo. This study evaluated the relation between LEDGF/p75 genetic variation, mRNA expression and HIV-1 disease progression in order to guide future clinical use of LEDGINs.MethodsSamples were derived from a therapy-naïve cohort at Ghent University Hospital and a Spanish long-term-non-progressor cohort. High-resolution melting curve analysis and Sanger sequencing were used to identify all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding region, flanking intronic regions and full 3'UTR of LEDGF/p75. In addition, two intronic tagSNPs were screened based on previous indication of influencing HIV disease. LEDGF/p75 mRNA was quantified in patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) using RT-qPCR.Results325 samples were investigated from patients of Caucasian (n?=?291) and African (n?=?34) origin, including Elite (n?=?49) and Viremic controllers (n?=?62). 21 SNPs were identified, comprising five in the coding region and 16 in the non-coding regions and 3'UTR. The variants in the coding region were infrequent and had no major impact on protein structure according to SIFT and PolyPhen score. One intronic SNP (rs2737828) was significantly under-represented in Caucasian patients (P<0.0001) compared to healthy controls (HapMap). Two SNPs showed a non-significant trend towards association with slower disease progression but not with LEDGF/p75 expression. The observed variation in LEDGF/p75 expression was not correlated with disease progression.ConclusionsLEDGF/p75 is a highly conserved protein. Two non-coding polymorphisms were identified indicating a correlation with disease outcome, but further research is needed to clarify phenotypic impact. The conserved coding region and the observed variation in LEDGF/p75 expression are important characteristics for clinical use of LEDGINs.
