Gene polymorphisms and risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exposure to the same environmental factors in different people have resulted in different susceptibility to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which suggests genetic variation may be a risk factor for the development of HNSCC. So, the aim was to review literatures on the association between gene polymorphisms and risk of HNSCCs.

Materials and methods

This systematic review included all articles on the impact of gene polymorphisms on risk and susceptibility to HNSCC published till September 2021 using PubMed, Web of science, SCOPUS, Google Scholar and Cochrane library databases.

Results

Of 1163 initial searched articles, 77 articles were eligible to include in this review. Studies were categorized based on gene functions. In each category, studied gene polymorphisms related to growth control genes, cell cycle control, apoptosis, DNA repair genes, carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes, alcohol-metabolizing genes, antioxidant gene, inflammatory cytokine, transcription factor, tumor immunity, folate metabolism, and tumor suppressor gene were discussed separately. Among the polymorphisms that are often significantly associated with HNSCC risk are: GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, CYP2D6 *4, XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln, ERCC1 C8092A, XPD Lys751Gln, XRCC3 Thr241Met, P53 codon 72 and MTHFR C677T polymorphisms.

Conclusion

Varied and contradictory results have been reported in different studies regarding the association of gene polymorphisms with HNSCC risk. To conclude about this association and to overcome these contradictions, it is necessary to use the results of existing meta-analyses or to perform new or updated meta-analyses.

Project description:BackgroundNumerous studies were performed to illuminate mechanisms of tumorigenesis and metastases from gene expression profiles of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). The objective of this review is to conduct a network-based meta-analysis to identify the underlying biological signatures of the HNSCC transcriptome.Methods and findingsWe included 63 HNSCC transcriptomic studies into three specific categories of comparisons: Pre, premalignant lesions v.s. normal; TvN, primary tumors v.s. normal; and Meta, metastatic or invasive v.s. primary tumors. Reported genes extracted from the literature were systematically analyzed. Participation of differential gene activities across three progressive stages deciphered the evolving nature of HNSCC. In total, 1442 genes were verified, i.e. reported at least twice, with ECM1, EMP1, CXCL10 and POSTN shown to be highly reported across all three stages. Knowledge-based networks of the HNSCC transcriptome were constructed, demonstrating integrin signaling and antigen presentation pathways as highly enriched. Notably, functional estimates derived from topological characteristics of integrin signaling networks identified such important genes as ITGA3 and ITGA5, which were supported by findings of invasiveness in vitro. Moreover, we computed genome-wide probabilities of reporting differential gene activities for the Pre, TvN, and Meta stages, respectively. Results highlighted chromosomal regions of 6p21, 19p13 and 19q13, where genomic alterations were shown to be correlated with the nodal status of HNSCC.ConclusionsBy means of a systems-biology approach via network-based meta-analyses, we provided a deeper insight into the evolving nature of the HNSCC transcriptome. Enriched canonical signaling pathways, hot-spots of transcriptional profiles across the genome, as well as topologically significant genes derived from network analyses were highlighted for each of the three progressive stages, Pre, TvN, and Meta, respectively.
