Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common type of primary bone malignancy. Common genetic variants including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with osteosarcoma risk, however, the results of published studies are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to systematically review genetic association studies to identify SNPs associated with osteosarcoma risk and the effect of race on these associations. We searched the Medline, Embase, Scopus from inception to the end of 2019. Seventy-five articles were eligible for inclusion. These studies investigated the association of 190 SNPs across 79 genes with osteosarcoma, 18 SNPs were associated with the risk of osteosarcoma in the main analysis or in subgroup analysis. Subgroup analysis displayed conflicting effects between Asians and Caucasians. Our review comprehensively summarized the results of published studies investigating the association of genetic variants with osteosarcoma susceptibility, however, their potential value should be confirmed in larger cohorts in different ethnicities.

[PMID: 38144286 PMCID: PMC10746491 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an immunosuppressive checkpoint that is involved in the development and metastasis of cancers. Several studies revealed that CTLA-4 rs231775A/G polymorphism may be associated with the risk of cancer in some populations, but the conclusions of these studies are not consistent. Methods We conducted a pooled analysis with eligible studies to explore the association between the CTLA-4 rs231775 variant and cancer risk. Additionally, we used in silico tools to evaluated the expression of CTLA-4 on urinary system cancer. Moreover, we adopted the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to investigate the effects of CTLA-4 on bladder cancer (BLCA). Results In total, 92 case-control studies involving 29,987 patients with cancer and 36,484 healthy individuals (controls) were included in the pooled analysis. In the stratified analysis based on cancer type, the rs231775 A/G polymorphism was associated with increased bladder cancer risk in the heterozygote contrast model (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.01-1.51, P = 0.040). The race-stratified analysis revealed that East Asians with the GG genotype had a 12% lower risk of developing cancer than those with the GA + AA genotype (95% CI = 0.81-0.95, P = 0.001). The in silico analysis showed that CTLA-4 expression was augmented in patients with BLCA. The ELISA results revealed that CTLA-4 expression was reduced in patients with BLCA carrying the AA genotype. Several signaling pathways, including cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions and T-cell receptor signaling, were associated with CTLA-4 expression. Conclusion The CTLA-4 rs231775 A/G polymorphism is associated with cancer risk in East Asian population. This polymorphism is especially associated with BLCA.

Abstract
Sarcomas are defined as a group of mesenchymal malignancies with over 100 heterogeneous subtypes. As a rare and difficult to diagnose entity, micrometastasis is already present at the time of diagnosis in many cases. Current treatment practice of sarcomas consists mainly of surgery, (neo)adjuvant chemo- and/or radiotherapy. Although the past decade has shown that particular genetic abnormalities can promote the development of sarcomas, such as translocations, gain-of-function mutations, amplifications or tumor suppressor gene losses, these insights have not led to established alternative treatment strategies so far. Novel therapeutic concepts with immunotherapy at its forefront have experienced some remarkable success in different solid tumors while their impact in sarcoma remains limited. In this review, the most common immunotherapy strategies in sarcomas, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapy and cytokine therapy are concisely discussed. The programmed cell death (PD)-1/PD-1L axis and apoptosis-inducing cytokines, such as TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), have not yielded the same success like in other solid tumors. However, in certain sarcoma subtypes, e.g. liposarcoma or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, encouraging results in some cases when employing immune checkpoint inhibitors in combination with other treatment options were found. Moreover, newer strategies such as the targeted therapy against the ancient cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) may represent an interesting approach worth investigation in the future.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary malignant tumors originating in bones. Its high malignancy typically manifests in lung metastasis leading to high mortality. Although remarkable advances in surgical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy have lengthened life expectancy and greatly improved the survival rate among OS patients, no further breakthroughs have been achieved. It is challenging to treat patients with chemoresistant tumors and distant metastases. Recent studies have identified a compelling set of links between hypoxia and chemotherapy failure. Here, we review the evidence supporting the positive effects of hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In addition, certain anticancer effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors have been demonstrated in OS preclinical models. Continued long-term observation in clinical trials is required. In the present review, we discuss the mutualistic effects of the TME in OS treatment and summarize the mechanisms of immunotherapy and their interaction with TME when used to treat OS. We also suggest that immunotherapy, a new comprehensive and potential antitumor approach that stimulates an immune response to eliminate tumor cells, may represent an innovative approach for the development of a novel treatment regimen for OS patients.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) might be implicated in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma (OS). Numerous studies involving SNPs with OS risk have been reported; these results, however, remain controversial and no comprehensive research synopsis has been performed till now. Objective This study seeks to clarify the relationships between SNPs and OS risk using a comprehensive meta-analysis, and assess epidemiological evidence of significant associations. Methods The PubMed, Web of Science, and Medline were used to screen for articles that evaluated the association between SNP and OS susceptibility in humans before 24 December 2021. Furthermore, we used Venice Criteria and a false positive report probability (FPRP) test to assess the grades of epidemiological evidence for the statistical relationships. Results We extracted useful data based on 43 articles, including 10,255 cases and 13,733 controls. Our results presented that 25 SNPs in 17 genes were significantly associated with OS risk. Finally, we graded strong evidence for 17 SNPs in 14 genes with OS risk (APE1 rs1760944, BCAS1 rs3787547, CTLA4 rs231775, ERCC3 rs4150506, HOTAIR rs7958904, IL6 rs1800795, IL8 rs4073, MTAP rs7023329 and rs7027989, PRKCG rs454006, RECQL5 rs820196, TP53 rs1042522, VEGF rs3025039, rs699947 and rs2010963, VMP1 rs1295925, XRCC3 rs861539), moderate for 14 SNPs in 12 genes and weak for 14 SNPs in 11 genes. Conclusion In summary, this study offered a comprehensive meta-analysis between SNPs and OS susceptibility, then evaluated the credibility of statistical relationships, and provided useful information to identify the appropriate candidate SNPs and design future studies to evaluate SNP factors for OS risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common orthopedic neoplasm, with a high metastasis rate and a dismal prognosis despite surgery and chemotherapy. Immunotherapies have offered cancer patients a ray of optimism, but their impact on OS has been disappointing. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of mono, dual, and triple combinations of CTLA-4, PD-L1, and TIM3 blockade on OS cell viability, apoptosis, and migration. METHOD The MG-63 and U-2 OS cell lines were transfected with mono, dual, and triple combinations of siRNAs specific for CTLA-4, PD-L1, and TIM3. After evaluation for transfection efficacy by qRT-PCR, MTT assay and flow cytometry were applied to assess cell viability and apoptosis rate in siRNA-transfected cells, respectively. Ultimately, the migration of transfected cells was measured by wound healing assay. RESULTS First, the qRT-PCR analysis revealed that in siRNA-transfected OS cells, CTLA-4, PD-L1, and TIM3 were downregulated. The MTT assay and flow cytometry results confirmed that silencing of these immune checkpoints in dual or triple combinations, but not in the single-agent blockade, significantly decreases cell viability and increases apoptosis, respectively. These effects were more significant when triple silencing was performed. Finally, the wound healing assay revealed that dual and triple silencing of immune checkpoints significantly inhibit cell migration, with triple silencing exhibiting a greater effect. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that triple blockade of CTLA-4, PD-L1, and TIM3 is an effective strategy for inhibiting tumor cell progression and migration in OS, which requires large-scale clinical investigations to be translated into broad therapeutic applicability for OS patients.

Abstract
In our previous studies, we found that the rs231775 polymorphism of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is associated with risks of different cancer types; however, the association remains controversial and ambiguous, so we conducted an in-depth meta-analysis to verify the association. A complete search of the PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Chinese databases, and Web of Science was conducted without regard to language limitations, covering all publications since November 20, 2021. The search criteria for cancer susceptibility associated with the polymorphism in the CTLA-4 gene rs231775 resulted in 87 case-control studies with 29,464 cases and 35,858 controls. The association strength was analyzed using odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Overall, we found that the CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism may reduce cancer risk. A stratified cancer type analysis showed that CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism was a risk factor for colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer; on the other hand, it was a protective factor for breast cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, bone cancer, head and neck, and pancreatic cancer. We also classified cancer into five systems and observed an increased association with digestive tract cancer, decreased associations with orthopedic tumors, tumors of the urinary system, and gynecological tumors. In the subgroup based on race, decreased relationships were observed in both Asians and Caucasians. The same decreased association was also shown in the analysis of the source of control analysis. Our present study indicates that the CTLA-4 rs231775 polymorphism contributes to cancer development and aggression.

Abstract
In recent years, immunotherapy has been revolutionized by a new approach that works by blocking receptors called immune checkpoints (IC). These molecules play a key role in maintaining immune homeostasis, mainly by suppressing the immune response and by preventing its overactivation. Since inhibition of the immune response by IC can be used by cancer to avoid recognition and destruction by immune system, blocking them enhances the anti-tumor response. This therapeutic approach has brought spectacular clinical effects. The ICs present heterogeneous expression patterns on immune cells, which may affect the effectiveness of immunotherapy. The inherited genetic variants in regulatory regions of ICs genes can be considered as potential factors responsible for observed inter-individual differences in ICs expression levels on immune cells. Additionally, polymorphism located in exons may introduce changes to ICs amino acid sequences with potential impact on functional properties of these molecules. Since genetic variants may affect both expression and structure of ICs, they are considered as risk factors of cancer development. Inherited genetic markers such as SNPs may also be useful in stratification patients into groups which will benefit from particular immunotherapy. In this review, we have comprehensively summarized the current understanding of the relationship between inherited variations of CTLA-4, PDCD1, PD-L1, BTLA, TIM-3, and LAG-3 genes in order to select SNPs which can be used as predictive biomarkers in personalized evaluation of cancer risk development and outcomes as well as possible response to immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background The genetic architecture of bone and soft tissue sarcomas susceptibility is yet to be elucidated. We aimed to comprehensively collect and meta-analyze the current knowledge on genetic susceptibility in these rare tumors. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on the association between DNA variation and risk of developing sarcomas through searching PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of Science databases. To evaluate result credibility, summary evidence was graded according to the Venice criteria and false positive report probability (FPRP) was calculated to further validate result noteworthiness. Integrative analysis of genetic and eQTL (expression quantitative trait locus) data was coupled with network and pathway analysis to explore the hypothesis that specific cell functions are involved in sarcoma predisposition. Results We retrieved 90 eligible studies comprising 47,796 subjects (cases: 14,358, 30%) and investigating 1,126 polymorphisms involving 320 distinct genes. Meta-analysis identified 55 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with disease risk with a high (N=9), moderate (N=38) and low (N=8) level of evidence, findings being classified as noteworthy basically only when the level of evidence was high. The estimated joint population attributable risk for three independent SNPs (rs11599754 of ZNF365/EGR2, rs231775 of CTLA4, and rs454006 of PRKCG) was 37.2%. We also identified 53 SNPs significantly associated with sarcoma risk based on single studies.Pathway analysis enabled us to propose that sarcoma predisposition might be linked especially to germline variation of genes whose products are involved in the function of the DNA repair machinery. Conclusions We built the first knowledgebase on the evidence linking DNA variation to sarcomas susceptibility, which can be used to generate mechanistic hypotheses and inform future studies in this field of oncology.

Abstract
Clinical outcomes and treatment modalities for osteosarcoma, the most common primary cancer of bone, have changed very little over the past 30 years. The peak incidence of osteosarcoma occurs during the adolescent growth spurt, which suggests that bone growth and pubertal hormones are important in the aetiology of the disease. Tall stature, high birth weight and certain inherited cancer predisposition syndromes are well-described risk factors for osteosarcoma. Common genetic variants are also associated with osteosarcoma. The somatic genome of osteosarcoma is highly aneuploid, exhibits extensive intratumoural heterogeneity and has a higher mutation rate than most other paediatric cancers. Complex pathways related to bone growth and development and tumorigenesis are also important in osteosarcoma biology. In this Review, we discuss the contributions of germline and somatic genetics, tumour biology and animal models in improving our understanding of osteosarcoma aetiology, and their potential to identify novel therapeutic targets and thus improve the lives of patients with osteosarcoma.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) on osteosarcoma (OD) stem cells and T cells, and to determine their correlation. OS stem cells were sorted and identified from OS MG63 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the PD-1 expression of the OS tumor stem cell membrane surface. The expression of PD-1 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). MTT was used to detect the effect of PD-1 signals on T-cell proliferation. The results indicated that the cancer cells (cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum) exhibited clear proliferation within 1 week of cell culture, which showed their strong proliferation and aggressive ability. The formation of tumor cell spheres was dependent on the support of serum nutrition. The proliferation of MG63 cells in the serum culture medium was significantly higher than the number of OS cell spheres in serum-free suspension culture (P<0.05). Pluripotent stem cells in cancer cell spheres exhibited significantly higher cluster of differentiation 133 expression compared with the MG63 cells. The PD-1 expression levels of the cancer cell spheres was significantly increased compared with the MG63 cells, which is consistent with the results of the RT-PCR. In conclusion, the MG63 cell line possesses the features of OS stem cells. The MG63 cell line can express the certain cancer-associated cell markers. The expression of PD-1 in spheres was also increased significantly compared to the MG63 cells, which can reduce the immune function of patients and may be closely associated with the occurrence and development of tumors.

Abstract
The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) polymorphic loci -318 cytosine/thymine (-318C/T) has been previously implicated in malignant tumor susceptibility. However, there were no precise conclusions about the correlation, the results from published studies were inconclusive. The aim of the current meta-analysis was to investigate the associations between CTLA-4 -318C/T polymorphisms and risk of malignant tumors in Asian population. We conducted a search in PubMed, Embase, the Chinese Journals Full-Text Database, Chinese Biomedical Database, and the Wanfang database. All studies were published up to September 30, 2015. Two reviewers analysed the data independently. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. In total, 20 case-controlled studies with 3,539 cases and 4,690 controls were included in the final meta-analysis. The overall estimation demonstrated a significant association between CTLA-4 -318C/T polymorphism and malignant tumor risk in the Asian populations (TT+TC vs. CC: OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.07-1.53. TT vs. TC+CC: OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.03-1.99; TT vs. CC: OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.09-2.10. TC vs. CC: OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.06-1.50. T vs. C: OR, 1.25, 95% CI, 1.05-1.47). In the subgroup analysis by countries, we found that the dominant model (TT+TC vs. CC) revealed an increased risk of developing malignant tumors in the Chinese study population (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.13-1.76), but no association was demonstrated in the other countries. The current meta-analysis suggests that CTLA-4 -318C/T polymorphism is significantly associated with the risk of malignance tumors in Asian populations, especially in those from China. Further studies for additional Asian countries are required to further evaluate the association.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is proved to be a promising therapeutic strategy against human malignancies. Evasion of immune surveillance is considered to be a major factor of malignant progression. Inhibitory receptors, especially CTLA-4 and PD-1, are found to play critical roles in the mediation of anti-tumor immune efficacy. Thus, antibodies targeting these immune checkpoints have emerged as the attractive treatment approaches to those patients with cancer. Osteosarcoma is highly malignant and current treatment remains a challenge, especially for those patients with metastasis. Despite some achievements, the effect of immunotherapy against osteosarcoma is still unsatisfactory. The present review attempts to show the role and mechanism of CTLA-4 and PD-1 in immune response and summarize the recent findings related to the effect of inhibitory receptor antibodies on the immune response against tumors, especially osteosarcoma, and the correlation between PD-1 or/and CTLA-4 expression and outcome of osteosarcoma patients. We further discuss the utilization of the combination therapy against osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a frequently observed primary malignant tumor. Current therapy for osteosarcoma consists of comprehensive treatment. The long-term survival rate of patients exhibiting nonmetastatic OS varies between 65-70%. However, a number of OS cases have been observed to be resistant to currently used therapies, leading to disease recurrence and lung metastases, which are the primary reasons leading to patient mortality. In the present review, a number of pieces of evidence provide support for the potential uses of immunotherapy, including immunomodulation and vaccine therapy, for the eradication of tumors via upregulation of the immune response. Adoptive T-cell therapy and oncolytic virotherapy have been used to treat OS and resulted in objective responses. Immunologic checkpoint blockade and targeted therapy are also potentially promising therapeutic tools. Immunotherapy demonstrates significant promise with regard to improving the outcomes for patients exhibiting OS.

Abstract
Background There is little information regarding the composition of peripheral blood immunity in sarcoma patients and even less in the context of pediatric sarcomas. We describe the immune status using flow cytometry of peripheral blood in patients with osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma and demonstrate excessive CD14 in tumor tissues. Methods Peripheral blood from patients with OS and ES was collected at diagnosis or relapse, and used for immune phenotyping of 74 different leukocyte phenotypes. Blood from young adult healthy volunteers was collected as controls. Tumor tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Results Nineteen patients (average age = 14 y) and 16 controls (average age = 25y) were enrolled on study. Of the 74 phenotypes, 14 were different between sarcoma patients and HV. Sarcoma patients’ leukocytes contained a higher percentage of granulocytes (67 % sarcoma vs. 58 % HV; p = 0.003) and fewer lymphocytes (20 % sarcoma vs. 27 % HV; p = 0.001). Increased expression of CTLA-4 was seen in both T cells in sarcoma patients as compared to HV (p = 0.05). Increased CD14+ HLA-DRlo/neg immunosuppressive monocytes were seen in sarcoma patients (p = 0.03); primarily seen in OS. Increased tumor necrosis factor receptor II expression was seen on CD14+ cells derived from sarcoma patients as compared to HV (p = 0.01). Massive infiltration of CD14+ cells was seen in OS (>50 % of cells in the majority of tumors) compared to ES (<10-25 % of cells). In contrast, both OS and ES had limited T cell infiltration (generally <10 % of cells). Conclusions Pediatric sarcoma patients exhibit several immune phenotypic differences that were exacerbated in more severe disease. These phenotypes have the potential to contribute to immune suppression and may indicate potential targets for immune therapies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Previous studies suggest that the MDM2 gene is one of the most important candidate genes for influencing the risk of osteosarcoma. This study aims to investigate the potential association of MDM2 c.346G>A genetic variant with the risk of osteosarcoma in Chinese. A total of 738 subjects were recruited in this study. The genotypes of MDM2 c.346G>A genetic variant were detected by the created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction. Our data suggest that the MDM2 c.346G>A genetic variant is associated with the increased risk of osteosarcoma in the homozygote comparison (AA vs. GG: odds ratio [OR]=2.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30-4.28, χ2=8.35, p=0.004), recessive model (AA vs. GA/GG OR=2.32, 95% CI 1.30-4.13, χ2=8.50, p=0.004), and allele comparison (A vs. G: OR=1.27, 95% CI 1.01-1.60, χ2=4.34, p=0.037). Results from this study indicated that the allele-A and genotype-AA of MDM2 c.346G>A genetic variant could be an increased risk factor for the susceptibility to osteosarcoma and might be used as a potential molecular marker for evaluating the risk of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
For the past 30 years, improvements in the survival of patients with osteosarcoma have been mostly incremental. Despite evidence of genomic instability and a high frequency of chromothripsis and kataegis, osteosarcomas carry few recurrent targetable mutations, and trials of targeted agents have been generally disappointing. Bone has a highly specialized immune environment and many immune signalling pathways are important in bone homeostasis. The success of the innate immune stimulant mifamurtide in the adjuvant treatment of non-metastatic osteosarcoma suggests that newer immune-based treatments, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, may substantially improve disease outcome.

Abstract
Accumulating bodies of evidence indicate that immune dysregulation plays a key role in the development of osteosarcoma (OS). Programmed death 1 (PD-1) is a surface receptor expressed on activated and exhausted T cells, which mediate T-cell inhibition upon binding with its ligand. Researches on PD-1 and OS remain extremely limited. Here, we investigated whether PD-1 could be involved in the development of OS. Expression of PD-1 was measured by flow cytometry on peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from 56 OS cases and 42 healthy controls. Data revealed that percentages of PD-1 were significantly upregulated on both peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from OS patients (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Patients with different tumor locations did not present obvious variations in PD-1 level. However, patients with metastasis showed significantly higher level of PD-1 on CD4+ T cells than those without metastasis (p < 0.001). Furthermore, PD-1 expression on CD4+ T cells started to increase in stage III, whereas PD-1 expression on CD8+ T cells started to increase in stage II. In addition, patients with pathological fracture were observed to have elevated PD-1 on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. These data suggest that PD-1 is involved in the pathogenesis of OS, especially in the progression of disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) genetic polymorphisms are implicated to be associated with susceptibility to bone sarcomas, but published studies have reported inconclusive results. The objective of our study was to conduct a meta-analysis investigating the associations between CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms and risk of bone sarcomas. PubMed and Embase databases were searched for all articles published up to June 2, 2013. Odds ratio (OR) with a 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) was used to assess the association. Finally, 11 individual studies with a total of 2,951 cases with bone sarcomas and 3,396 controls were included in the meta-analysis. There were four studies on the CTLA-4 49G/A polymorphism, three studies on CTLA-4 318C/T polymorphism, two studies on CTLA-4 1661A/G polymorphism, and two studies on CTLA-4 60A/G polymorphism. Overall, CTLA-4 49G/A polymorphism was obviously associated with risk of bone sarcomas (A vs. G: OR = 1.36, 95 % CI = 1.20-1.54; AA vs. GG: OR = 2.24, 95 % CI = 1.67-2.99; AA vs. AG/GG OR = 2.00, 95 % CI = 1.53-2.62; AA/GA vs. GG: OR = 1.35, 95 % CI = 1.14-1.61). However, CTLA-4 318C/T, 1661A/G, and 60A/G polymorphisms were not associated with risk of bone sarcomas. The current meta-analysis suggests that CTLA-4 49G/A polymorphism is obviously associated with risk of bone sarcomas. More studies are needed to further evaluate the associations between CTLA-4 polymorphisms and risk of bone sarcomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteosarcoma is the most common childhood bone cancer. Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1B) is crucially involved in osteosarcoma carcinogenesis. Whether genetic polymorphisms of IL-1B also influence osteosarcoma risk is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between IL-1B gene polymorphisms and osteosarcoma risk in Chinese Han patients. METHODS A hospital-based case-control study involving 120 osteosarcoma patients and 120 controls was conducted. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was performed to detect three IL-1B gene polymorphisms (-31 T/C, -511 C/T and +3954 C/T) in these patients. RESULTS Patients with osteosarcoma had a significantly lower frequency of -31 CC genotype [odds ratio (OR) = 0.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.17-0.92; P = 0.03] and -31 C allele (OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.46-0.99; P = 0.04) than controls. Patients with osteosarcoma had a significantly lower frequency of -511 TT genotype (OR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.17-0.95; P = 0.04) than controls. The +3954 C/T gene polymorphisms were not associated with a risk of osteosarcoma. When stratified by Enneking stage, tumour location, histological type, tumour metastasis of osteosarcoma and family history of cancer, no statistically significant results were found. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to provide evidence for an association of IL-1B gene polymorphisms with osteosarcoma risk.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma has become a health threat for adolescents and young adults. To identify the genetic risk factor for the malignancy is in urgent need. Several studies have investigated the role of CD 152 polymorphisms in osteosarcoma in a sample of Chinese population. However, the association is poorly defined due to lack of a sufficiently large sample. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of all CD 152 polymorphisms that had been implicated in osteosarcoma to examine the association. We searched the electronic MEDLINE database until December 31, 2013, to identify the studies regarding the association between CD 152 polymorphisms and osteosarcoma. Inclusion criteria were followed in the selection of eligible study. The genotypic and allelic data were collected from all studies included to evaluate the risk of osteosarcoma (odds ratio, OR). We found statistically significant evidence of the studied CD 152 polymorphisms and increased risk of osteosarcoma in homozygous (OR = 1.79, 95 % CI = 1.40-2.29, P = 0.958), recessive (OR = 1.77, 95 % CI = 1.40-2.25, P = 0.899), and allele model (OR = 1.21, 95 % CI = 1.09-1.34, P = 1.000). This increased risk was also revealed in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) +49G>A and SNP 326G>A. Our meta-analysis indicates that there may be an association between CD 152 polymorphisms and risk of osteosarcoma in Chinese population. Further validation of the observation is necessary.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant primary bone tumor in the world. The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 gene (CTLA-4) is an important candidate gene for influencing the development of OS. This study aimed to investigate the potential association of CTLA-4 genetic polymorphisms with OS risk in Chinese Han population. A total of 415 OS patients and 431 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction (CRS-PCR) and DNA sequencing methods were used to detect the genotyping of CTLA-4 c.75G[C and c.326G[A genetic polymorphisms. We observed that the genotypes/alleles of c.75G[C and c.326G[A genetic polymorphisms were statistically associated with the increased risk of OS (for c.75G[C, CC versus (vs.) GG: OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.09–2.74; C vs. G: OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.06–1.60; for c.326G[A, AA vs. GG: OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.31–3.42; A vs. G: OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.07–1.61). The allele-C/genotype-CC of c.75G[C and allele-A/genotype-AA of c.326G[A may contribute to OS susceptibility. These data indicate that CTLA-4 genetic polymorphisms are potentially related to OS risk in Chinese Han population, and might be used as molecular markers for evaluating the risk of OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have investigated the role of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in carcinogenesis of osteosarcoma, but their results were inconsistent. We aimed to clarify the associations between CTLA-4, TNF-α polymorphism and osteosarcoma risk by using meta-analysis. METHODS We searched relevant studies without language restriction in PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar databases, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and conference literature in humans published prior to March 2013. The strengths of the associations between genetic variants and osteosarcoma risk were estimated by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS A total of seven studies with 1,198 osteosarcoma patients and 1,493 controls were selected. Four studies were eligible for CTLA-4 (1,003 osteosarcoma and 1,162 controls), and three studies for TNF-α (195 osteosarcoma and 331 controls). Pooled results showed that rs231775 polymorphism of CTLA-4 was associated with osteosarcoma risk (GG vs. AA: OR=1.63, 95% CI=1.24-2.13; GG + GA vs. AA: OR=1.56, 95% CI=1.21-2.01; AA + GA vs. GG: OR=0.83, 95% CI=0.71-0.97; G vs. A: OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.08-1.36). No significant heterogeneity was observed across the studies. No significant associations were found between rs5742909 polymorphism of CTLA-4 or rs1800629 polymorphism of TNF-α and osteosarcoma risk. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the rs231775 polymorphism of CTLA-4 may play an important role in carcinogenesis of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE CTLA-4 is one of the most fundamental immunosuppressive cotykines which belongs to the immunoglobulin super-family, and is expressed mainly on activated T cells. Previous studies have reported the existence of CTLA4 60G/A and CTLA4 -1661A/G polymorphism in cancers. However, the effects remain conflicting. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between these polymorphisms and cancer risk. METHODS We searched the Pubmed and Web of Science databases until October 24, 2013 to obtain relevant published studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the relationship between CTLA4 gene polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility were calculated by stata 11 software. Heterogeneity tests, sensitivity analyses and publication bias assessments were also performed in our meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 22 articles comprising 31 case-control studies concerning the CTLA-4 60G/A and CTLA-4 -1661A/G polymorphisms were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results suggested the CTLA-4 60G/A polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased skin cancer risk (AA vs. GG: OR = 1.32, 95%CI = 1.09-1.59; AA vs. GA+GG: OR = 1.26, 95%CI = 1.07-1.48). For CTLA-4 -1661 A/G polymorphism, the results showed that the CTLA-4 -1661A/G polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased cancer risk (GA vs. AA: OR = 1.44, 95%CI = 1.13-1.82; GA+GG vs. AA: OR = 1.35, 95%CI = 1.07-1.69; G vs. A: OR = 1.21, 95%CI = 1.01-1.47), especially in gastric cancer, breast cancer, other cancers and in Asians population subgroups. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis suggests that the CTLA-4 -1661A/G polymorphism is a potential factor for the susceptibility of cancer, especially in gastric cancer, breast cancer and other cancers, and the CTLA-4 60G/A polymorphism is significantly associated with increased skin cancer risk. The effect of the CTLA-4 -1661A/G polymorphism on cancer susceptibility especially exists in Asians and population based subjects.

Abstract
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), a key gene that contributes to the susceptibility and clinical course of cancer, is an important down-regulator of T cell activation and proliferation. The +49A/G polymorphism is commonly studied because of its association with cancer risks. However, other polymorphisms, such as -1722T/C and -1661A/G, have not been studied in detail. We performed a meta-analysis using 43 eligible case-control studies with a total of 19,089 patients and 21,388 controls to examine the association between CTLA-4 +49A/G, -1722T/C, and -1661A/G polymorphisms and cancer risk. We searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases for all articles published up to July 17, 2013. Individuals with the +49 A allele (AA/AG vs. GG, odds ratio (OR) = 1.21, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.16-1.27) and -1661 G allele (AG/GG vs. AA, OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.34-1.73) had increased cancer risk. However, no significant association between cancer risk and the -1722T/C polymorphism was found (CC/CT vs. TT, OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.92-1.16). In subgroup analysis for the +49A/G polymorphism, increased cancer risk remained in the subgroups of Asians (OR = 1.25, 95 % CI = 1.18-1.31), patients with breast cancer (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.15-1.42), and patients with lung cancer (OR = 1.20, 95 % CI = 1.07-1.35). For the -1661A/G polymorphism, increased cancer risk remained in the subgroups of Asians (OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.34-1.73), patients with breast cancer (OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.07-2.03), and patients with oral cancer (OR = 3.16, 95% CI = 1.84-5.45). However, no significant increase in cancer risk was found in the subgroups for the -1722T/C polymorphism. In conclusion, the results suggest that +49A/G and -1661A/G polymorphisms in CTLA-4 are risk factors for cancers, whereas the -1722T/C polymorphism is not associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Abstract
Despite the knowledge on many genetic variants present in osteosarcoma, the complexity of this disease precludes placing its biology into a simple conceptual framework. RECQL is a DNA helicase involved in DNA mismatch repair and has been reported to be associated with many human cancers. We aimed to investigate the association of RECQL genetic polymorphism with osteosarcoma in a Chinese population. We selected three polymorphisms of the RECQL5 gene (rs820196, rs820200, and rs4789223) in the present study. TaqMan method was utilized for genotyping these three SNPs in 212 patients with osteosarcoma and 240 age- and sex-matched noncancer controls. In our study, we found that CC genotype in rs820196 (17.5 vs 8.3%, P = 0.005) and AA genotype in rs4789223 (21.7 vs 14.2, P < 0.001) were more frequent in osteosarcoma group compared to the control group, respectively. We also found that the C allele of rs820196 (OR = 1.492, 95% CI 1.138 ∼ 1.951; P = 0.004) and A allele of rs4789223 (OR = 1.767, 95% CI: 1.354 ∼ 2.301; P < 0.001) were common in the osteosarcoma patients than those in the control subjects, respectively. Haplotype analysis showed that TTA (OR = 3.469, 95% CI 1.798 ∼ 6.695; P < 0.001) was associated with increased risk for osteosarcoma. However, the TTG (OR = 0.578, 95% CI 0.442 ∼ 0.756) was associated with decreased risk for osteosarcoma. Our results suggested that RECQL5 genetic polymorphisms were associated with osteosarcoma in a Chinese population.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is expressed in various cell types and plays important roles in regulating immune responses. Evidence has shown that FGFR4 rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism may act as a risk factor for many diseases. In the current study, we investigated the association between FGFR4 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in the Chinese population. Two polymorphisms in the FGFR4 gene (rs351855G/A and rs147603016G/A) were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 421 NHL cases and 486 healthy controls. Results showed that prevalence of rs351855AA genotype was significantly increased in patients than in controls (odds ratio [OR] = 2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.91-3.23, P < 0.001). Similarly, rs351855A allele presented significantly higher numbers in cases compared to healthy donors (49.8 versus 40.1%, P < 0.001). Further study revealed that the frequency of the rs351855G/A polymorphism was clearly elevated in cases with B cell subtype than those with T cell subtypes. When analyzing the survival time of NHL patients with FGFR4 rs351855G/A polymorphism, cases with AA genotype had significantly shorter survival time compared to the patients with GG genotype (P < 0.001) or GA genotype (P < 0.001). These results suggest that FGFR4 rs351855G/A polymorphism is associated with increased susceptibility to NHL and could be used as a marker for predicting the prognosis of the malignancy.

Abstract
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), a molecule expressed predominantly on activated T cells, plays an important role in the down-regulation of T-cell activation. To evaluate the potential effects of CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms on susceptibility to cervical cancer, we genotyped polymorphisms in CTLA-4 (- 318 T/C, CT60 G/A,+49 G/A, - 658 T/C, and - 1661 G/A) and calculated odds ratios for the genotype and allele distributions between patients and controls. We then examined the functional relevance of the polymorphisms using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), in vitro lymphocyte proliferation assay, and cytotoxic assay. The CTLA-4 - 318 CC, CT60 AA, and+49 GG genotype frequencies were lower in patients than in controls (p <0.05). The frequencies of CTLA-4 - 318 T allele and CT60G allele carriers were significantly higher in patients than in controls (p <0.05). Upon stimulation, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) carrying the - 318TT and CT60GG genotypes exhibited significantly lower proliferation, IL-2, and IL-4 levels; fewer cytolytic activities; and higher TGF-β levels compared with PBMCs carrying the - 318 CC/CT or CT60 AA/AG genotypes. We also found that CTLA-4 - 318 T/C and CT60 G/A single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with the severity of cervical cancer. These results indicate that CTLA-4 - 318 T/C and CT60 G/A can affect cervical cancer susceptibility by altering the immune status of an individual.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe form of diffuse lung disease, which imposes a substantial health burden all over the world. The immune system plays a key role in the development of ALI. The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) in ALI. Levels of CTLA4 were tested on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in 62 ALI cases and 75 healthy controls by flow cytometry. Data revealed that prevalence of CTLA4 on CD4+ T cells was significantly increased in ALI patients (3.7%±2.1%) than in controls (0.7%±0.3%). Similarly, the proportion of CTLA4 on CD8+ T cells was also significantly elevated in cases (1.0%±0.4% versus 0.5%±0.1%, p<0.05). Further analysis showed that the frequency of CTLA4+CD4+ T cells was positively correlated with the score of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) (p=0.0005). In addition, when investigating CTLA4 expression with ALI patient mortality, we observed that the level of CTLA4+CD4+ T cells in patients was higher at the time before death than at the time of recruitment (p=0.001). These data suggested that CTLA4 was involved in the pathogenesis and progression of ALI and could be used as a potential target for treating this disease.

Abstract
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene +49G>A polymorphism was implicated to be associated with risk of malignant bone tumors, but the finding was inconclusive owing to the limited sample of a single study. The objective of the current study was to conduct a pooled analysis of four previously published studies to investigate the association between CTLA-4 +49G>A polymorphism and the risk of malignant bone tumors. Data were extracted, and the pooled odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was calculated to assess the association. Those four published studies included a total of 2,165 subjects. The pooled results indicated that CTLA-4 +49G>A polymorphism was significantly associated with risk of malignant bone tumors (AA versus GG: OR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.67-2.99, P < 0.001; AA/GA versus GG: OR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.14-1.61, P = 0.001; AA versus GG/GA: OR = 2.00, 95% CI 1.53-2.62, P < 0.001). Stratified analyses by tumor type showed that CTLA-4 +49G>A polymorphism was associated with risks of both osteosarcoma (AA versus GG: OR = 2.23, 95% CI 1.45-3.43, P < 0.001; AA/GA versus GG: OR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.04-1.75, P = 0.024; AA versus GG/GA: OR = 2.00, 95% CI 1.34-2.98, P = 0.001) and Ewing's sarcoma (AA versus GG: OR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.51-3.31, P < 0.001; AA/GA versus GG: OR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.07-1.72, P = 0.011; AA versus GG/GA: OR = 2.01, 95 % CI 1.39-2.89, P < 0.001). Therefore, results from the current pooled analysis suggest that CTLA-4 +49G>A polymorphism is associated with risk of malignant bone tumors, including osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) play important roles in the vascular system. The FGFR4 rs351855 (Gly388Arg) poly morphism has been shown to be a risk factor for many diseases. This case-control study investigated the association between the FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism and susceptibility to ischaemic stroke in the Chinese population. METHODS The FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in patients with ischaemic stroke and healthy controls. RESULTS Frequencies of genotypes GA and AA, and prevalence of the A allele, were significantly lower in ischaemic stroke patients (n = 952) than in controls (n = 986). Genotype AA and allele A were significantly more frequent in stroke patients with, than in those without, diabetes. CONCLUSION These results suggested that the GA genotype, AA genotype and A allele of FGFR4 Gly388Arg polymorphism are all associated with decreased risk of ischaemic stroke in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Despite the knowledge of many genetic alterations present in Ewing's sarcoma (ES), the complexity of this disease precludes placing its biology into a simple conceptual framework. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) can decrease T-cell activation and attenuate antitumor responses. Polymorphisms in the CTLA-4 gene have been shown to be associated with different diseases. Here, we investigated the association of four CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms, -1661A/G (rs4553808), -318C/T (rs5742909), +49G/A (rs231775), and CT60A/G (rs3087243), with ES in the Chinese population. A total of 308 ES cases and 362 healthy controls were recruited and CTLA-4 polymorphisms were tested by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results showed that frequencies of the CTLA-4 gene +49AA genotype, +49A allele, and GTAG haplotype were significantly increased in ES patients compared to healthy controls (odds ratio [OR]=2.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43-4.09, p<0.001; OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.11-1.73, p=0.005, and OR=1.46, 95% CI 1.06-2.02, p=0.020, respectively). We further compared CTLA-4 polymorphisms in ES patients based on different clinical parameters and data revealed that ES patients with metastasis had higher numbers of the +49AA genotype than those without metastasis (p=0.004). These results indicated that the CTLA-4 polymorphism could be a risk factor for ES and suggested a potential role of CTLA-4 in the metastasis of this malignancy.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) plays a key role in the proliferation of T cells and natural killer cells. It has been reported that polymorphisms in the IL-2 gene are associated with various cancers. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of polymorphisms in the IL-2 gene on the development of breast cancer in the Chinese population. IL-2-330T/G and +114T/G polymorphisms were assessed in 638 breast cancer cases and 682 age-matched healthy controls. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results showed that individuals with -330TG genotype and -330GG genotype had significantly increased susceptibility to breast cancer (Odds ratio [OR]=1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.79, p=0.0021 and OR=2.26, 95%CI: 1.53-3.30, p<0.0001). The +114T/G polymorphism did not show any correlation with breast cancer. In addition, when analyzing the survival time of breast cancer patients with IL-2-330T/G polymorphism, cases with a -330G allele had significantly shorter survival time compared with wild-type patients (p=0.002). These results suggested that polymorphism in the IL-2 gene was associated with increased susceptibility to breast cancer and could be used as a prognostic marker for this malignancy.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common pediatric bone malignancy worldwide. The MDM2 gene is an important candidate gene for influencing the susceptibility to OS. The objective of this study aimed to detect the potential association between MDM2 genetic variants and OS susceptibility in Chinese Han population. We recruited 415 OS patients and 431 cancer-free controls in this case-control study. The c.44C>T and c.1002T>C genetic variants in MDM2 gene were investigated using created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction (CRS-PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), respectively. We found that the genotypes/alleles of c.44C>T and c.1002T>C were statistically associated with the increased risk of OS (for c.44C>T, TT versus (vs.) CC: OR = 2.43, 95% CI 1.49-3.95, p < 0.001; T vs. C: OR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.11-1.67, p = 0.003; for c.1002T>C, CC vs. TT: OR = 2.38, 95% CI 1.37-4.13, p = 0.002; C vs. T: OR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.02-1.56, p = 0.030). The T allele and TT genotype of c.44C>T and C allele and CC genotype of c.1002T>C could be increased risk factors for the susceptibility to OS. Results from this study suggest that MDM2 genetic variants are potentially related to OS susceptibility in Chinese Han population, and might be used as molecular markers for assessing OS susceptibility.

Abstract
Purpose IFNa was the first cytokine to demonstrate anti-tumor activity in advanced melanoma. Despite the ability of high-dose IFNa reducing relapse and mortality by up to 33%, large majority of patients experience side effects and toxicity which outweigh the benefits. The current study attempts to identify genetic markers likely to be associated with benefit from IFN-a2b treatment and predictive for survival. Experimental design We tested the association of variants in FOXP3 microsatellites, CTLA4 SNPs and HLA genotype in 284 melanoma patients and their association with prognosis and survival of melanoma patients who received IFNa adjuvant therapy. Results Univariate survival analysis suggested that patients bearing either the DRB1*15 or HLA-Cw7 allele suffered worse OS while patients bearing either HLA-Cw6 or HLA-B44 enjoyed better OS. DRB1*15 positive patients suffered also worse RFS and conversely HLA-Cw6 positive patients had better RFS. Multivariate analysis revealed that a five-marker genotyping signature was prognostic of OS independent of disease stage. In the multivariate Cox regression model, HLA-B38 (p = 0.021), HLA-C15 (p = 0.025), HLA-C3 (p = 0.014), DRB1*15 (p = 0.005) and CT60*G/G (0.081) were significantly associated with OS with risk ratio of 0.097 (95% CI, 0.013–0.709), 0.387 (95% CI, 0.169–0.889), 0.449 (95% CI, 0.237–0.851), 1.948 (95% CI, 1.221–3.109) and 1.484 (95% IC, 0.953–2.312) respectively. Conclusion These results suggest that gene polymorphisms relevant to a biological occurrence are more likely to be informative when studied in concert to address potential redundant or conflicting functions that may limit each gene individual contribution. The five markers identified here exemplify this concept though prospective validation in independent cohorts is needed.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) play important roles in vascular system. FGFR4 rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism has shown to be a risk factor for many diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between FGFR4 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Chinese population. We identified three polymorphisms in the FGFR4 gene, rs351855G/A (Gly388Arg), rs145302848C/G and rs147603016G/A, by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 658 CAD cases and 692 healthy controls. Results showed that frequencies of GA genotype, AA genotype and A allele in rs351855 (Gly388Arg) polymorphism were significantly lower in CAD patients than in controls [odds ratio (OR) = 0.79, 95 % confidence intervals (CI) 0.62-0.99, P = 0.042; OR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.41-0.81, P = 0.002; and OR = 0.77, 95 % CI 0.66-0.90, P = 0.001, respectively]. The rs147603016GA genotype and A allele also showed lower numbers in CAD cases (OR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.36-0.93, P = 0.025; and OR = 0.59, 95 % CI 0.40-0.95, P = 0.028). The rs145302848C/G polymorphism did not show any correlation with CAD. Haplotype analysis revealed that the prevalence of ACG haplotype (rs351855, rs145302848 and rs147603016) was significantly decreased in CAD patients (P = 0.002). Our data suggested that the FGFR4 rs351855G/A (Gly388Arg) and rs147603016G/A polymorphisms could act as protective factors against CAD in the Chinese population and indicated that a single gene polymorphism could have diverse functions in different diseases.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) plays crucial roles in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and atherosclerosis and, therefore, may potentially affect the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between FGFR4 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to CAD in the Chinese population. Two polymorphisms, rs192201146G/A (Asp756Asn) and rs188755817C/G (Ser778Arg), were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and direct sequencing in 722 CAD cases and 802 age-matched controls. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results showed that frequencies of rs192201146GA genotype and rs188755817CG genotype were significantly higher in CAD patients than in controls (odds ratio [OR]=1.92, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-3.28, p=0.016, and OR=1.87, 95% CI 1.06-3.30, p=0.027). Similarly, numbers of the rs192201146A allele and the rs188755817G allele were significantly increased in CAD cases (OR=1.89, 95% CI 1.11-3.22, p=0.017, and OR=1.85, 95% CI 1.06-3.24, p=0.029). Haplotype analysis revealed that GG and AC (rs192201146 rs188755817) haplotypes had higher frequencies in CAD patients (OR=2.75, p=0.002 and OR=2.69, p=0.001). Our data suggested that the FGFR4 rs192201146 (Asp756Asn) and rs188755817 (Ser778Arg) polymorphisms could act as risk factors for CAD in the Chinese population.

Abstract
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common hematologic malignancy worldwide. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) plays a key role in the proliferation of T cells and natural killer cells. It has been reported that polymorphisms in the IL-2 gene are associated with various cancers. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of polymorphisms in the IL-2 gene on the development of NHL in the Chinese population. IL-2-330T/G and +114T/G polymorphisms were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 438 NHL cases and 482 age-matched healthy controls. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results showed that individuals with -330TG genotype or -330GG genotype had significantly increased susceptibility to NHL (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.40, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.85, p = 0.020 and OR = 2.04, 95%CI: 1.28-3.24, p = 0.002). Meanwhile, the +114T/G polymorphism did not show any correlation with NHL. When analyzing the haplotypes of these two polymorphisms, the prevalence of -330G/+114T haplotype was significantly higher in NHL cases than in controls (OR = 1.45, 95%CI: 1.12-1.88, p = 0.005). These data indicate that IL-2 gene polymorphisms may be new risk factors for NHL.

Abstract
Chemokines are potent proinflammatory cytokines that are implicated in numerous inflammatory diseases. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and its receptor CC chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2) play a major role in the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We investigated a possible association between polymorphisms in MCP-1 and CCR2 genes (MCP-1 -2518 A/G and CCR2 190G/A or V64I) and the development of COPD. Genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 386 COPD cases and 398 age-matched healthy controls. Frequency of MCP-1 2518GG genotype for cases and controls was 0.396 and 0.324, respectively; individuals who had the GG genotype had a 1.59-fold increased risk of COPD (p=0.036). Frequency of CCR2 190AA (64I/64I) genotype for cases and controls was 0.285 and 0.21, respectively; subjects carrying the 64I/64I genotype had a 2.04-fold increased risk of COPD compared with the wild-type genotype (p=0.001). When analyzing the allele combination of these two polymorphisms, the combinations MCP-1-A/CCR2-A and MCP-1-G/CCR2-A were detected in significantly higher numbers in COPD cases than in healthy controls (odds ratio [OR]=1.50, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-2.17, p=0.032; and OR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.38-2.60, p=7.38×10(-5)). These data suggest that MCP-1 -2518 A/G and CCR2 190G/A polymorphisms are new risk factors for COPD.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for most of these cases. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is a typical pleiotropic T helper 2 cytokine and plays crucial roles in tumor immunology. IL-4 gene -590T/C polymorphism has been shown to be associated with different autoimmune diseases and cancers. The present study evaluated the correlation between this polymorphism and the susceptibility to NSCLC in the Chinese population. The IL-4 variant -590T/C was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 1072 NSCLC cases and 1126 age-matched healthy controls. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results showed that frequencies of IL-4 -590 TC, CC genotype, and -590 C allele were significantly lower in patients with NSCLC than in healthy controls (odds ratio [OR]=0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64-0.93, p=0.006; OR=0.54, 95% CI 0.38-0.76, p=0.0004; and OR=0.72, 95% CI 0.62-0.83, p=1.1 × 10(-5), respectively). Our data suggest that the -590T/C polymorphism of the IL-4 gene is associated with a decreased susceptibility to NSCLC.

The study was used for planning the length of backruns to be retained due to space limitations that forced the disposal of older volumes. More than 50% of requests were for the most recent two-year period, and 90% of requests could be filled with a twenty-year run of periodicals. In 1989, 4,157 internal requests were received for periodicals not owned; these were analyzed to determine those most commonly requested. Prior to subscribing, new titles were reviewed as to price, bibliometric indicators, number of requests, length of backfile, and the number of requesting departments. The Library Advisory Board decides on cancellation or purchase of periodicals; the elements considered are described.
