Abstract
OBJECTIVE The TP73 G4C14-A4T14 variant has been associated with elevated cancer risk, but the evidence is inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the role of this variant in cancer development. METHODS Eligible literature was selected by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Embase. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4. RESULTS A meta-analysis of 55 case-control studies showed that the G4C14-A4T14 variant was significantly associated with overall cancer development in five genetic models, including the allele model (AM), codominant model 1 (COD1), COD2, dominant model (DM), and over-dominant model (OD). Sub-group analysis based on ethnicity showed significantly higher risks in Africans in COD2 and RM and in Whites in AM, COD2, DM, and recessive model (RM). Cancer-specific subgroup analysis identified significant risks of gynecological (ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer), colorectal, oral, head and neck, and other cancers. Moreover, hospital-based controls revealed significant cancer risks in the AM, COD1, COD2, DM, and RM genetic models. Our findings were confirmed by trial sequential analysis. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirmed that TP73 G4C14-A4T14 significantly elevates the overall cancer risk, especially in White, African, and hospital-based populations, and specifically predisposes individuals to gynecological, colorectal, oral, and head and neck cancers.This meta-analysis was registered at INPLASY (registration number: INPLASY202210070).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
This study investigated the role of TP73 gene polymorphism, rs1801173on risk of gastric cancer.
Methods
We conducted a case-controlled study including 577 primary gastric cancer and 678 normal control cases. The target gene fragment was amplified using PCR using blood samples collected from patients. Allele analysis and genotyping were performed using snapshot method.
Results
The findings showed that the control group had consistent genotype frequency distribution and presented Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The results showed no significant differences in sex, drinking history and age distributions between subjects with the polymorphism and subjects in the control group. Smoking status was correlated with incidence of gastric cancer (P = 0.006). The rs1801173 locus of TP73 gene contained 3 genotypes including: TT, CT, and CT. Logistic regression analysis showed that distribution of recessive model and dominant model was comparable between the two groups before (P = 0.688; 0.937) or after (P = 0.703; 0.990) adjusting for confounders. The distribution frequency in case group was not significantly different relative to that of the control group (P = 0.763).
Conclusion
Smoking can independently influence the risk of gastric cancer. TP73 gene rs1801173 polymorphism was not significantly correlated with risk of gastric cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism (hereafter, G4C14-to-A4T14) and lung cancer risk. METHODS The studies on the relationship between G4C14-A4T14 and lung cancer risk published as of November 5, 2018, were comprehensively searched in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, the Chinese Wanfang database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and China Biology Medicine (CBM). The last update was on May 24, 2019. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 12.0. RESULTS The association between G4C14-A4T14 and lung cancer risk was analyzed in nine studies. The findings indicate no association between G4C14-to-A4T14 and lung cancer risk (allele model: OR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.73-1.11, I2 = 86.0%, P = .330; dominant model: OR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.74-1.17, I2 = 82.6%, P = .551; recessive model: OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.50-1.13, I2 = 75.2%, P = .165; homozygote model: OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.47-1.17, I2 = 79.6%, P = .199; heterozygote model: OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.80-1.21, I2 = 75.8%, P = .879). The heterogeneity between subgroups by cancer types and genotyping method was significantly reduced. After the deletion of suspected duplicates, no association was found between G4C14-to-A4T14 and lung cancer susceptibility. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis confirms that G4C14-to-A4T14 is not significantly related to lung cancer risk.

Abstract
G4C14-A4T14 polymorphism of TP73 gene has been reported with a potential association in cancer risks through affected cell homeostasis; however the results were not consistent. We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to explore the associations between G4C14-A4T14 polymorphism and cancer susceptibility. Extensive retrieve was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Wanfang database and CNKI database up to May 20, 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were conducted to evaluate the overall strength of the associations in five genetic models, as well as in subgroup analyses. Q-test, false-positive report probability analysis and trial sequential analysis, Egger’s test and Begg’s funnel plot were applied to evaluate the robustness of the results. In silico analysis was managed to demonstrate the relationship of TP73 expression correlated with cancer tissues. Finally, 36 case–control studies with a total of 9493 cancer cases and 13,157 healthy controls were enrolled into the meta-analysis. The pooled results present a significantly higher risk of G4C14-A4T14 polymorphism in all the five genetic models, as well as in the subgroups of Caucasian, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, H-B subgroup and comfort to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium subgroup. In silico analysis revealed that the expression of TP73 in cervical cancer tissue is higher than it in corresponding normal tissue, as well as in cervical cancer. All in all, TP73 G4C14-A4T14 polymorphism causes an upgrade cancer risk, especially in Caucasian population. G4C14-A4T14 polymorphism might be a potential biomarker for judging the tumorigenesis of cervical cancer and colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the association of p73 G4C14-A4T14 polymorphism and murine double minute 2 (MDM2) 309 T/G single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the risk of developing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Sothern China. The p73 and MDM2 genotypes of peripheral blood DNA from 186 patients with NSCLC and 196 normal controls were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with confronting two-pair primers (CTPP) and high resolution melting (HRM), respectively. The results of genotyping were consistent with those of direct sequencing. The p73 AT/AT [odds ratio (OR)=0.46; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.22-0.97] and MDM2 TT (OR=0.48; 95% CI=0.26-0.86) genotypes were associated with a decreased risk of developing NSCLC compared with that of the p73 GC/GC and MDM2 GG genotypes, respectively. In addition, the interaction between the p73 and MDM2 polymorphisms reduced the risk of developing NSCLC in multiple ways (OR=0.13; 95% CI=0.03-0.59) for subjects carrying both the p73 AT/AT and MDM2 TT genotypes. Therefore, the SNP in p73 G4C14-A4T14 and the MDM2 309 polymorphism may be markers of genetic susceptibility to NSCLC in a Chinese population, and there is a possible gene-gene interaction involved in the incidence of NSCLC.

Abstract
Background p73, a structural and functional homolog of p53, plays an important role in modulating cell cycle arrest. This study investigated the association between p73 G4C14‐to‐A4T14 polymorphism and survival outcomes in a Chinese population of advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum agents. Methods The p73 G4C14‐to‐A4T14 polymorphism was genotyped using DNA from blood samples of advanced NSCLC patients (642 in the discovery set and 330 in the replication set). The relationship of the p73 G4C14‐to‐A4T14 polymorphism with clinical outcomes was analyzed. Results Compared with the GC/GC genotype, the genotypes containing AT allele (GC/AT + AT/AT genotypes) were associated with significantly prolonged overall survival (P = 0.040) in the discovery set and after pooling results from the replication set. Stratification analysis revealed that the association was more pronounced in subjects who were older (P = 0.001), male (P = 0.007), smokers (P = 0.006), had a low Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (P = 0.001), in tumor node metastasis stage IV (P = 0.008), and with adenocarcinoma (P = 0.002). The objective response rates of patients with GC/AT + AT/AT genotypes were statistically higher than those with the GC/GC genotype (P = 0.047). Conclusion Our findings suggest that the p73 G4C14‐to‐A4T14 polymorphism may be related to survival outcome in advanced NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in Egyptian females. Nrf2 is involved in oxidative stress while P73 functions in response to DNA damage. This study aimed to assess the role of Nrf2 promoter and P73 G4C14 to A4T14 SNPs in breast cancer in Egypt. Patients: Eighty-five female patients with breast tumours (41 malignant, 44 benign) were included. Nrf2 (rs6721961) and p73 (G4A) SNPs were determined by PCR- CTPP assay. Results: Genotype frequencies of the Nrf2 promoter SNP were 34.2% and 37.9% for AA in benign and malignant groups respectively, and 43.9% and 40.5% for CC and, 21.9 % and 21.6% for CA. Genotype frequencies for the P73 G4A SNP were 52.9% and 44.7% for GA in benign and malignant groups respectively, and 47.1% and 55.3% for GG. Discussion: Nrf2 genotypes in pre - and post-menopausal patients, showed significantly different distributions in the 2 patient groups, the AA genotype being significantly more common in pre-menopausal patients. The P73 G4A SNP showed no relation to age of disease onset. Conclusion: The Nrf2 (rs6721961) AA genotype might be related to early breast cancer onset. In contrast the P73 G4A polymorphism showed no relation to either disease risk or age at presentation.

Abstract
The p53 gene family members p53, p73, and p63 display several isoforms derived from the presence of internal promoters and alternative splicing events. They are structural homologs but hold peculiar functional properties. p53, p73, and p63 are tumor suppressor genes that promote differentiation, senescence, and apoptosis. p53, unlike p73 and p63, is frequently mutated in cancer often displaying oncogenic “gain of function” activities correlated with the induction of proliferation, invasion, chemoresistance, and genomic instability in cancer cells. These oncogenic functions are promoted either by the aberrant transcriptional cooperation of mutant p53 (mutp53) with transcription cofactors (e.g., NF-Y, E2F1, Vitamin D Receptor, Ets-1, NF-kB and YAP) or by the interaction with the p53 family members, p73 and p63, determining their functional inactivation. The instauration of these aberrant transcriptional networks leads to increased cell growth, low activation of DNA damage response pathways (DNA damage response and DNA double-strand breaks response), enhanced invasion, and high chemoresistance to different conventional chemotherapeutic treatments. Several studies have clearly shown that different cancers harboring mutant p53 proteins exhibit a poor prognosis when compared to those carrying wild-type p53 (wt-p53) protein. The interference of mutantp53/p73 and/or mutantp53/p63 interactions, thereby restoring p53, p73, and p63 tumor suppression functions, could be among the potential therapeutic strategies for the treatment of mutant p53 human cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify any association between the p73 gene G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism and risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the south of China. MATERIALS AND METHODS We genotyped the p73 gene polymorphism of peripheral blood DNA from 168 patients with NSCLC and 195 normal controls using HRM (high resolution melting) and PCR-CTPP (polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers). RESULTS The results of genotyping by HRM and PCR-CTPP were consistent with direct sequencing, the p73 genotype distribution in 168 lung cancer patients being as follows: GC/GC 101 cases (60.1%), GC/ AT 59 cases (35.1%), AT/AT 8 cases (4.8%). The carriers of AT/AT genotype had a significantly reduced risk of NSCLC (OR=0.370; 95%CI: 0.170-0.806; p=0.010) as compared with non-carriers. However, we found no relations between p73 genotypes and histological type (p=0.798, x2=0.452), tumor stage (p=0.806, x2=0.806), or lymph node metastasis (p=0.578, x2=1.098). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism may be a modifier of NSCLC susceptibility in the Chinese population.

Abstract
The p73 gene is a structural and functional homolog of the p53 gene, which has a crucial role in mediating cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Numerous previous studies have investigated the polymorphism of p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 at exon 2, as it was suggested to affect gene expression and result in functional significance. However, the correlation of this polymorphism with clinicopathological variables of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the gene polymorphism of p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 and the risk of developing NSCLC. The single-nucleotide polymorphisms of p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers and direct DNA sequencing in 186 NSCLC patients and 196 cancer-free controls. χ2-tests and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the experimental data, including the determination of odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) and P-values. The results demonstrated that the AT/AT genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of NSCLC (P=0.010; OR=0.370; 95% CI=0.170-0.806) compared with the GC allele genotypes including GC/GC and GC/AT. In addition, carriers of the AT allele exhibited a significantly reduced risk of NSCLC (P=0.038; OR=0.713; 95% CI=0.517-0.983) compared with non-carriers. In conclusion, these results indicated that the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism was a potential marker of NSCLC genetic susceptibility. However, further studies with a larger population are required in order to confirm these results.

Abstract
Background. Molecular markers for prostate cancer (PCa) risks are currently lacking. Here we address the potential association of a dinucleotide polymorphism (DNP) in exon 2 of the p73 gene with PCa risk/progression and discern any disruption of p73 protein isoforms levels in cells harboring a p73 DNP allele. Methods. We investigated the association between p73 DNP genotype and PCa risk/aggressiveness and survival by fitting logistic regression models in 1,292 incident cases and 682 controls. Results. Although we detected no association between p73 DNP and PCa risk, a significant inverse relationship between p73 DNP and PCa aggressiveness (AT/AT + GC/AT versus GC/GC, OR = 0.55, 95%Cl = 0.31–0.99) was detected. Also, p73 DNP is marginally associated with overall death (dominant model, HR = 0.76, 95%Cl = 0.57–1.00, P = 0.053) as well as PCa specific death (HR = 0.69, 95%Cl = 0.45–1.06, P = 0.09). Western blot analyses for p73 protein isoforms indicate that cells heterozygous for the p73 DNP have lower levels of ∆Np73 relative to TAp73 (P < 0.001). Conclusions. Our findings are consistent with an association between p73 DNP and low risk for PCa aggressiveness by increasing the expressed TAp73/∆Np73 protein isoform ratio.

Abstract
p73 gene shares structural and functional similarities to p53 and plays an important role in modulating cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. A common non-coding polymorphism of p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 (rs2273953 and rs1801173) at exon 2 may affect gene expression, thus, it may lead to functional significance. The correlation of this polymorphism with clinicopathologic variables of patients with breast cancer has not been investigated. In this study, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 were genotyped by Sequenom MassArray-iPLEX GOLD System in 170 patients with breast cancer. Data were analyzed via t test, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis. There was no significant correlation between p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphisms and the patient characteristics, such as clinical TNM stage, menopausal status, axillary lymph node metastasis, pathological type, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). No significant relationship was observed between the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism and p73 protein expression in cancer tissues. The frequency of GC/GC genotype in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) was 78.9 %, that of patients with others was 57.6 %, and the difference had statistical significance (χ ( 2 ) = 5.74, P = 0.02). p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphisms were negatively correlated with chemosensitivity for anthracycline-based chemotherapy in breast cancer (P > 0.05). p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphisms are positively correlated with TNBC, and p73 gene may play a critical role in a novel therapeutic strategy to TNBC. Additional larger studies are required to test these hypotheses.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the expression and differential significance of c-Jun, p73, Casp-9 and N-ras in thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) with the aim to provide useful information for tumor biology and prospective therapy. Methods In this study, we analyzed the expression of four chromosome 1-related genes, namely c-Jun, p73, Casp-9 and N-ras, in 60 cases of thymic epithelial tumors. The tumors included 52 thymomas and 8 thymic carcinomas which were categorized according to the current WHO classification systems. Results Compared with the normal thymus tissue, all thymic epithelial tumors demonstrated higher expression of c-Jun and p73. The expression of c-Jun and p73 in type B2, B3 thymoma and thymic carcinomas was similar, and significantly higher than that in all other subtypes of thymomas. Unlike type A thymoma, the expression of Casp-9 was relatively lower in type B thymoma and thymic carcinomas. With respect to the clinical staging systems, c-Jun was more expressed in progressive tumors harboring higher stages. In contrast to c-Jun, p73 and Casp-9, there was no significant aberration with N-ras expression irrespective of either tissue or tumor types. Conclusions The overexpression of c-Jun, p73 and Casp-9 in thymic epithelial tumors is closely related with the pathogenesis and biological behavior of the neoplasms. These candidate biomarkers provided useful information for prospective personalized therapy in the clinical management.

Abstract
The TP53 homolog p73 is structurally and functionally similar to TP53 and plays an important role in modulating cell-cycle control, apoptosis, and cell growth. G4C14-to-A4T14 is the most commonly studied polymorphism of this gene for its association with risk of cancers, but the results are confusing rather than conclusive. We performed a meta-analysis using 21 eligible studies with a total of 7581 patients and 10,413 controls to summarize the data for an association between the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism and cancer risk. Compared with the common GC/GC genotype, the AT carriers (AT/GC, AT/AT) had a 1.18-fold elevated risk of cancer (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.11-1.25, p<0.00001) in a dominant genetic model as estimated in a fixed effect model. The effect of the G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism was further evaluated through stratification analysis. In four lung cancer studies, the variant genotypes had a significantly increased risk of lung cancer (odds ratio [OR]=1.16, 95% CI=1.04-1.28, p=0.005). Similar phenomena were also found in two squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck studies (OR=1.32, 95% CI=1.12-1.56, p=0.0010), two oral cancer studies (OR=1.57, 95% CI=1.26-1.95, p<0.0001), and three colorectal cancer studies (OR=1.23, 95% CI=1.01-1.50, p=0.04). Increased risk of cancer associated with G4C14-to-A4T14 variant genotypes was pronounced in Caucasians (OR=1.21, 95% CI=1.11-1.31, p<0.00001), the Japanese population (OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.01-1.52, p=0.04), and the Korean population (OR=1.27, 95% CI=1.07-1.52, p=0.007). Our meta-analysis suggests that the p73 G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism genotypes (GC/AT+AT/AT) may be associated with an increased risk of cancer in most cancer types and ethnicities.

Abstract
The tumor protein p73 (TP73) gene belongs to the TP53 gene family and functions in the induction of apoptosis or cell-cycle arrest. The TP73 polymorphism (G4C14-A4T14) has been reported and many studies have focused on the role of this polymorphism in various cancers. However, the data reported for most individual cancer types were limited and not able to support a convincible conclusion. Hence, in this study, we explored the relationship between TP73 polymorphism (G4C14-A4T14) and cancer risk by carrying out a comprehensive meta-analysis. Performing both the overall and subgroup meta-analyses with a total of 23 eligible studies (6635 cases and 7378 controls in all), we detected significant cancer risk variations in the overall analysis, as well as the subgroup analysis based on ethnicity for both Asians and Caucasians. In the subgroup analysis based on source of controls, significant associations were also observed in the hospital-based controls' subgroup yet not in the population-based controls' subgroup. Furthermore, in the subgroup analysis based on cancer types, significant associations were found in colorectal cancer's subgroup but not in other cancer types' subgroups. In summary, according to the results of our meta-analysis, the TP73 polymorphism (G4C14-A4T14) probably associates with cancer risk.
