Clin Chim Acta 2024; 558:117899. [PMID: 38574942 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.117899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy with a high recurrence rate and poor long-term prognosis. DNA excision repair systems, such as base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER), play a major role in maintaining genomic stability and integrity. Further intensive investigations are necessary to uncover additional AML prognosis loci. In this study, we analyzed 16 candidate SNPs within NER and BER pathways in AML patients. Our results showed the GT/GG genotype of the XPC rs2228001 polymorphism was significantly associated with WBC count in dominant models (OR = 0.41, 95 % CI = 0.18-0.96, p = 0.039). Additionally, the rs25487 and rs3213245 SNPs in the XRCC1 gene, in both co-dominant and dominant models, were significantly associated with PLT count in AML (p < 0.05). The GG genotype of rs1130409 in APEX1 was more prone to adverse cytogenetics in both the codominant and recessive models (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the GA genotypes of ERCC8 rs158572 in codominant model was significantly correlated with refractory group (p < 0.05). ERCC8 rs158572 and XRCC1 rs3213245 in both codominant and dominant models were significantly correlated with the MRD positivity (p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed an link between overall survival (OS) and the co-dominant, dominant, and recessive models of rs2228001 in XPC. Additionally, patients with the GG and GT/GG genotype in the co-dominant, dominant model and recessive model in XPC rs2228001 exhibited significantly longer survival (p < 0.05). Multivariate Cox analyses indicated that rs2228001 in both co-dominant and dominant models were independent favorable factors impacting patient OS (OR < 1). Our findings suggest that genetic polymorphisms in DNA excision repair pathway genetic polymorphisms contribute to the chemosensitivity and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia.

Functional genetic variants of the disulfidptosis-related INF2 gene predict survival of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma. Carcinogenesis 2024; 45:199-209. [PMID: 38270181 DOI: 10.1093/carcin/bgae003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Disulfidptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death involved in migration and invasion of cancer cells, but few studies investigated the roles of genetic variants in disulfidptosis-related genes in survival of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We used Cox proportional hazards regression analyses, Kaplan-Meier curves and receiver operating characteristic curves to assess effects of genetic variants in 14 disulfidptosis-related genes on overall survival of 866 HBV-HCC patients. The Bayesian false discovery probability was used for multiple testing corrections. We also investigated biological mechanisms of the significant variants through expression quantitative trait loci analyses using the data from publicly available databases, luciferase reporter assays and differential expression analyses. As a result, we identified two independently functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (INF2 rs4072285 G > A and INF2 rs4444271 A > T) that predicted overall survival of HBV-HCC patients, with adjusted hazard ratios of 1.60 (95% CI = 1.22-2.11, P = 0.001) and 1.50 (95% CI = 1.80-1.90, P < 0.001), respectively, after multiple testing correction. Luciferase reporter assays indicated that both INF2 rs4072285 A and INF2 rs4444271 T alleles increased INF2 mRNA expression levels (P < 0.001) that were also higher in HCC tumor tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.001); such elevated INF2 expression levels were associated with a poorer survival of HBV-HCC patients (P < 0.001) in the TCGA database. In summary, this study supported that INF2 rs4072285 and INF2 rs4444271 may be novel biomarkers for survival of HBV-HCC patients.

The blockage signal for PD-L1/CD274 gene variants and their potential impact on lung carcinoma susceptibility. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 125:111180. [PMID: 37939515 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1/CD274) gene plays a key function in suppressing anti-tumor immunity through binding to its receptor PD-1 on stimulated T lymphocytes. However, robust associations among diverse populations and lung susceptibility remain unclear. The tentative purpose of this research is to investigate whether PD-L1/CD274 polymorphisms modulate susceptibility to lung carcinoma using totalitarian techniques, including genetic analysis, and sophisticated bioinformatic methods. METHODS PD-L1/CD274 (rs822336, rs2297136, and rs4143815) variants were genotyped in 126 lung carcinoma cases and 117 healthy controls using tetra-primer ARMS-PCR. Logistic regression and bioinformatics analyses assessed genetic associations. RESULTS The rs2297136 GA genotype significantly increased lung cancer risk by 3.7-fold versus GG genotype (OR 3.69, 95 % CI 1.39-9.81, p = 0.016), with the minor A allele also increasing risk (OR 1.47, p = 0.044). In contrast, the rs4143815 CC genotype was associated with 70 % decreased cancer risk versus GG (OR 0.30, 95 % CI 0.11-0.87, p = 0.012), although the minor C allele itself was not significant. The rs822336 variant showed no association. Haplotype and multivariate analyses supported these findings. In silico predictions suggested functional impacts on PD-L1 expression and activity. CONCLUSIONS This study identified novel associations between PD-L1/CD274 polymorphisms and susceptibility to lung cancer in Egyptians. The rs2297136 variant increased risk while the rs4143815 variant conferred protection, highlighting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in lung oncogenesis. Replication in larger cohorts and functional studies are warranted.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an inflammatory problematic issue with higher mortality among different ethnic populations. The telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene has an imperative role in the proliferation of various cancerous illnesses, particularly HCC. Moreover, the TERT (rs2736098 and rs2739100) variants were correlated with the HCC susceptibility and telomere shortening, but with unconvincing outcomes. The main purpose of this outward work is to assess the correlation between these significant variants within the TERT gene and the elevated risk of HCC with the aid of various computational bioinformatics tools. This study included 233 participants [125 cancer-free controls and 108 HCC patients] from the same locality. In addition, 81.5% of HCC patients were positive for HCV autoantibodies, while 73.1% of HCC patients were positive for cirrhotic liver. Genomic DNA of the TERT (rs2736098 and rs2736100) variants were characterized utilizing the PCR-RFLP method. Interestingly, the frequencies of TERT (rs2736098*A allele) and TERT (rs2736100*T allele) conferred a significant correlation with increased risk of HCC compared to healthy controls (p-value = 0.002, and 0.016, respectively). The TERT (rs2736098*A/A) genotype indicated a definite association with positive smoking and splenomegaly (p-value < 0.05), while the TERT (rs2736100*T/T) genotype observed a significant difference with higher levels of HCV autoantibodies (p-value = 0.009). In conclusion, this significant work confirmed the contribution of the TERT (rs2736098*A and rs2736100*T) alleles with elevated risk of HCC progression and telomere shortening among Egyptian subjects.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer-related death due to early metastasis or recurrence. Tumor angiogenesis plays an essential role in the tumorigenesis of HCC. Accumulated studies have validated the crucial role of lncRNAs in tumor angiogenesis. Here, we established an angiogenesis-related multi-lncRNAs risk model based on the machine learning for HCC prognosis prediction. Firstly, a total of 348 differential expression angiogenesis-related lncRNAs were identified by correlation analysis. Then, 20 of these lncRNAs were selected through univariate cox analysis and used for in-depth study of machine learning. After 1,000 random sampling cycles calculating by random forest algorithm, four lncRNAs were found to be highly associated with HCC prognosis, namely LUCAT1, AC010761.1, AC006504.7 and MIR210HG. Subsequently, the results from both the training and validation sets revealed that the four lncRNAs-based risk model was suitable for predicting HCC recurrence. Moreover, the infiltration of macrophages and CD8 T cells were shown to be closely associated with risk score and promotion of immune escape. The reliability of this model was validated by exploring the biological functions of lncRNA MIR210HG in HCC cells. The results showed that MIR210HG silence inhibited HCC growth and migration through upregulating PFKFB4 and SPAG4. Taken together, this angiogenesis-related risk model could serve as a reliable and promising tool to predict the prognosis of HCC.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is one of the pillars crucial in the development of a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and may cause DNA damage. Since the main pathway responsible for the repair of oxidative DNA damage is the base-excision repair (BER) pathway, we examined the relationship between the presence of different genetic variants of BER-associated genes and the risk of NAFLD. The study evaluates seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within five genes, hOGG1, APEX1, NEIL1, LIG3, LIG1, in 150 NAFLD patients and 340 healthy controls. The genotyping was performed using TaqMan probes and the results were presented as odds ratio with its corresponding 95% confidence interval. The following SNPs were assessed in the study: hOGG1 (rs1052133), APEX1 (rs176094 and rs1130409), NEIL1 (rs4462560), LIG3 (rs1052536), LIG3 (rs4796030), and LIG1 (rs20579). Four of the investigated SNPs, i.e., rs176094, rs1130409, rs4462560 and rs4796030, were found to be associated with NAFLD risk. Furthermore, the occurrence of insulin resistance in patients with steatosis depended on various LIG3 genetic variants. The findings imply the impact of genes involved in BER on NAFLD and fatty liver-related insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Numerous reports have explored the roles of different genetic variants in miRNA biogenesis mechanisms and the progression of various types of carcinomas. The goal of this study is to explore the association between XPO5*rs34324334 and RAN*rs14035 gene variants and susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In a cohort of 234 participants (107 HCC patients and 127 unrelated cancer-free controls) from the same geographic region, we characterized allelic discrimination using PCR-RFLP and performed subgroup analysis and multivariate regression. We found that the frequency of the XPO5*rs34324334 (A) variant was correlated with elevated risk of HCC under allelic (OR = 10.09, p-value < 0.001), recessive (OR = 24.1, p-value < 0.001), and dominant (OR = 10.1, p-value < 0.001) models. A/A genotype was associated with hepatitis C cirrhosis (p-value = 0.012), ascites (p-value = 0.003), and higher levels of alpha-fetoproteins (p-value = 0.011). Carriers of the RAN*rs14035 (T) variant were more likely to develop HCC under allelic (OR = 1.76, p-value = 0.003) and recessive (OR = 3.27, p-value < 0.001) models. Our results suggest that XPO5*rs34324334 and RAN*rs14035 variants are independent risk factors for developing HCC.

[PMID: 36534235 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-022-08202-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence rate of breast carcinoma (BC) among multiple ethnic populations required more explanations to understand the pathogenesis mechanisms for the development of this type of cancer. The principal purpose of this work is to validate the correlation of the CCND1 (c.723G > A; rs9344) variant with an increased risk of breast carcinoma. METHODS This retrospective case-controlled study was designed appertaining to 200 women including 100 BC patients and 100 unrelated cancer-free controls. The amplification of genomic DNA was genotyped utilizing the PCR-RFLP technique. RESULTS The frequencies of the CCND1 (c.723G > A; rs9344) variant revealed a significant association with increased risk of breast carcinoma under different genetic models including allelic (OR = 2.84, P-value < 0.001), recessive (OR = 4.83, P-value < 0.001), and dominant (OR = 3.19, P-value < 0.001) models. CONCLUSIONS Our findings concluded that the genetic biomarker of the CCND1 (c.723G > A; rs9344) variant is correlated with an elevated risk of breast carcinoma among Egyptian women.

Gene 2022; 832:146585. [PMID: 35597526 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2022.146585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes have an indispensable role in the metabolic phase of different medications during the treatment of multiple neuropsychiatric disorders. The foremost goal of this study is to evaluate the correlation of the allelic variants within CYP2D6 (*2/*4/*10) gene with the susceptibility for epileptic syndrome as well as the assessment the degree of resistance towards antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). METHODS This work was designed based on the involvement of 200 participants [100 unrelated healthy controls, 50 AEDs responsive, and 50 AEDs resistant]. Genomic DNA for the CYP2D6 variants was genotyped utilizing the T-ARMS-PCR technique. RESULTS The distributions of the CYP2D6*2 (rs16947; c.886C > T) and CYP2D6*4 (rs3892097; c.506-1G > A) variants were significantly correlated with elevated risk among epileptic patients compared to healthy controls (P-value < 0.05). Furthermore, the CYP2D6*2 variant was statistically associated with disease risk among AEDs responsive patients, while the CYP2D6*4 variant was statistically correlated with disease risk among AEDs resistant patients (P-value < 0.05). Interestingly, the allelic variants of the CYP2D6*4 (A allele) and CYP2D6*10 (T allele) were associated with elevated risk among AEDs resistant compared to AEDs responsive patients (P-value = 0.008 and 0.040, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The CYP2D6*2 and CYP2D6*4 variants were recognized as independent risk factors among epileptic patients, but not the CYP2D6*10 variant.
