Identification of Risk Loci for Radiotoxicity in Prostate Cancer by Comprehensive Genotyping of TGFB1 and TGFBR1.

ABSTRACT: Genetic variability in transforming growth factor beta pathway (TGFB) was suggested to affect adverse events of radiotherapy. We investigated comprehensive variability in TGFB1 (gene coding for TGFβ1 ligand) and TGFBR1 (TGFβ receptor-1) in relation to radiotoxicity. Prostate cancer patients treated with primary radiotherapy (n = 240) were surveyed for acute and late toxicity. Germline polymorphisms (n = 40) selected to cover the common genetic variability in TGFB1 and TGFBR1 were analyzed in peripheral blood cells. Human lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were used to evaluate a possible impact of TGFB1 and TGFBR1 genetic polymorphisms to DNA repair capacity following single irradiation with 3 Gy. Upon adjustment for multiplicity testing, rs10512263 in TGFBR1 showed a statistically significant association with acute radiation toxicity. Carriers of the Cytosine (C)-variant allele (n = 35) featured a risk ratio of 2.17 (95%-CI 1.41-3.31) for acute toxicity ≥ °2 compared to Thymine/Thymine (TT)-wild type individuals (n = 205). Reduced DNA repair capacity in the presence of the C-allele of rs10512263 might be a mechanistic explanation as demonstrated in LCLs following irradiation. The risk for late radiotoxicity was increased by carrying at least two risk genotypes at three polymorphic sites, including Leu10Pro in TGFB1. Via comprehensive genotyping of TGFB1 and TGFBR1, promising biomarkers for radiotoxicity in prostate cancer were identified.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revolutionized the field of cancer genetics, but the causal links between increased genetic risk and onset/progression of disease processes remain to be identified. Here we report the first step in such an endeavor for prostate cancer. We provide a comprehensive annotation of the 77 known risk loci, based upon highly correlated variants in biologically relevant chromatin annotations- we identified 727 such potentially functional SNPs. We also provide a detailed account of possible protein disruption, microRNA target sequence disruption and regulatory response element disruption of all correlated SNPs at r^2≥0.5. Greater than 88% of the 727 SNPs fall within putative enhancers, many of which alter critical residues in the response elements of transcription factors known to be involved in prostate biology. We define as risk enhancers those regions with enhancer chromatin biofeatures in prostate-derived cell lines with prostate-cancer correlated SNPs. To aid in the identification of these enhancers, we performed genomewide ChIP-seq for H3K27-acetylation, a mark of actively engaged enhancer regions, as well as the transcription factor TCF7L2. We analyzed in depth three variants in risk enhancers, two of which show significantly altered androgen sensitivity in LNCaP cells. This includes rs4907792, that is in linkage disequilibrium (r^2=0.91) with an eQTL for NUDT11 (on the X chromosome) in prostate tissue, and rs10486567, the index SNP in intron 3 of the JAZF1 gene on chromosome 7. Rs4907792 is within a critical residue of a strong consensus androgen response element that is interrupted in the protective allele, resulting in a 56% decrease in its androgen sensitivity, whereas rs10486567 affects both NKX3-1 and FOXA-AR motifs where the risk allele results in a 39% increase in basal activity and a 28% fold-increase in androgen stimulated enhancer activity. Identification of such enhancer variants and their potential target genes represents a preliminary step in connecting risk to disease process.
