Current studies have explored the correlation between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of pregnane X receptor (PXR) and cancer risk. However, the findings were conflicting. Hence, we performed a comprehensive review and meta-analysis for these researches to determine the effect of PXR polymorphisms on the risk of cancer. Eligible publications were collected based on a series of rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria. In consequence, a total of eight case–control studies (from seven citations) covering 11143 cases and 12170 controls were involved in a meta-analysis of ten prevalent PXR SNPs (rs10504191 G/A, rs3814058 C/T, rs6785049 A/G, rs1464603 A/G, rs1523127 A/C, rs2276706 G/A, rs2276707 C/T, rs3732360 C/T, rs3814055 C/T, rs3814057 A/C). The correlations between PXR SNPs and cancer risk were estimated by odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). The findings demonstrated that rs3814058 polymorphism (CT compared with CC: pooled OR = 1.280, P=6.36E-05; TT compared with CC: pooled OR = 1.663, P=2.40E-04; dominant model: pooled OR = 1.382, P=2.58E-08; recessive model: pooled OR = 1.422, P=0.002; T compared with C: pooled OR = 1.292, P=6.35E-05) and rs3814057 polymorphism (AC compared with AA: pooled OR = 1.170, P=0.036; dominant model: pooled OR = 1.162, P=0.037) were associated with the risk of overall cancer. In stratified analyses, rs3814058 polymorphism was revealed to increase the cancer risk in lung cancer subgroup. In summary, this meta-analysis indicates that the rs3814057 and rs3814058 polymorphisms of PXR gene play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of cancer and may be novel biomarkers for cancer-forewarning in overall population or in some particular subgroups.

CTNNB1, encoding β-catenin, is a well-known tumor-related gene in the wnt signaling pathway. It has been reported that CTNNB1 polymorphisms are associated with cancer risk. However, the data were inconsistent. In this article, we conducted a systematic review for the researches related to the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CTNNB1 with overall cancer risk. Meanwhile, a series of inclusion and exclusion criteria were set to select articles for quantitative analysis. Consequently, eight case-control studies containing 4388 cases and 4477 controls were included in a meta-analysis of four highly studied CTNNB1 SNPs (rs1798802 A/G, rs4135385 A/G, rs11564475 A/G, and rs2293303 C/T). The association between each SNP and cancer risk was estimated by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). The results showed rs1798802 (AA compared with GG: P=0.044, OR=0.72) and rs2293303 (TT compared with CC: P=0.002, OR=2.86; recessive model: P=0.006, OR=2.91; T compared with C: P=0.004, OR=1.19) polymorphisms were associated with overall cancer risk. In stratified analysis, rs4135385 polymorphism was found to elevate the risk in Caucasian or in gastrointestinal cancer subgroup. Additionally, rs2293303 conferred to an increased cancer risk when the source of control groups was hospital-based (HB). In conclusion, the three CTNNB1 SNPs were suggested to have the potential to be novel biomarkers for risk prediction of cancer in overall population or some specific subgroups. Our study could provide research clues for further related investigations.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA biosynthesis genes DROSHA and DGCR8 were indicated to be correlated with cancer risk. We comprehensively reviewed and analyzed the effect of DROSHA and DGCR8 polymorphisms on cancer risk. Eligible articles were selected according to a series of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Consequently, ten case–control studies (from nine citations) with 4265 cancer cases and 4349 controls were involved in a meta-analysis of seven most prevalent SNPs (rs10719 T/C, rs6877842 G/C, rs2291109 A/T, rs642321 C/T, rs3757 G/A, rs417309 G/A, rs1640299 T/G). Our findings demonstrated that the rs417309 SNP in DGCR8 was significantly associated with an elevated risk of overall cancer in every genetic model. In stratified analysis, correlations of DROSHA rs10719 and rs6877842 SNPs were observed in Asian and laryngeal cancer subgroups, respectively. Moreover, associations of the rs417309 SNP could also be found in numerous subgroups including: Asian and Caucasian population subgroups; laryngeal and breast cancer subgroups; population-based (PB) and hospital-based (HB) subgroups. In conclusion, the DROSHA rs10719, rs6877842 SNPs, and DGCR8 rs417309 SNP play pivotal roles in cancerogenesis and may be potential biomarkers for cancer-forewarning.

Background. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding microRNAs may play important role in the development of gastric cancer. It has been reported that common SNPs rs2910164 in miR-146a and rs11614913 in miR-196a2 are associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer. The published results remain inconclusive or even controversial. A meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively assess potential association between the two common SNPs and gastric cancer risk.Methods. A comprehensive literature search was performed in multiple internet-based electronic databases. Data from 12 eligible studies were extracted to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Results. C allele of rs2910164 is associated with reduced gastric cancer risk in heterozygote model and dominant model whereas rs11614913 indicates no significant association. Subgroup analysis demonstrates that C allele of rs2910164 and rs11614913 may decrease susceptibility to diffuse type gastric cancer in dominant model and recessive model, respectively, while rs11614913 increased intestinal type gastric cancer in dominant model.Conclusion. SNPs rs2910164 and rs11614913 might have effect on gastric cancer risk in certain genetic models and specific types of cancer. Further well-designed studies should be considered to validate the potential effect.

The polymorphisms in the three main heat shock protein 70 (HSP70-1, HSP70-2, and HSP70-hom) genes were identified to be associated with cancer risk. However, the results are inconsistent. We perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between the three HSP70 polymorphisms and cancer risk. Relevant studies were identified using PubMed, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases up to March 29, 2014. The cancer risk associated with the HSP70 polymorphisms was estimated for each study by odds ratios (OR) together with its 95% confidence interval (CI), respectively. Twenty case-control studies from eighteen publications were included; a significant association was observed for HSP70-2 polymorphism (dominant model: OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.11–2.09; recessive model: OR = 1.91, 95% CI: 1.06–3.45; AG versus AA: OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.03–1.84; GG versus AA: OR = 2.34, 95% CI: 1.21–4.54), while there was no significant association for HSP70-1 and HSP70-hom polymorphisms. Besides, in stratification analyses by ethnicity, cancer type, and source of control, significant association was detected for HSP70-2 polymorphism, while for HSP70-hom polymorphism, we found a significant association in hospital-based population under homozygote comparison model. This meta-analysis suggests that the HSP70-2 polymorphism rather than HSP70-hom and HSP70-1 polymorphisms was associated with the risk of cancer.

MiRNA polymorphisms had potential to be biomarkers for hepatocellular cancer (HCC) susceptibility. Recently, miRNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were reported to be associated with HCC risk, but the results were inconsistent. We performed a systematic review with a meta-analysis for the association of miRNA SNPs with HCC risk. Thirty-seven studies were included with a total of 11821 HCC patients and 15359 controls in this meta-analysis. We found hsa-mir-146a rs2910164 was associated with a decreased HCC risk in the recessive model (P=0.017, OR = 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.83–0.98). While hsa-mir-34b/c rs4938723 was related with an increased HCC risk in the co-dominant model (P=0.016, odds ratio (OR) = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.03–1.37). When analyzing the Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC risk, hsa-mir-196a-2 rs11614913 was associated with a decreased HBV-related HCC risk in the co-dominant and allelic models. And hsa-mir-149 rs2292832 was found to be associated with a decreased HBV-related HCC risk in the dominant and recessive models. In conclusion, hsa-mir-146a rs2910164 and hsa-mir-34b/c rs4938723 could be biomarkers for the HCC risk while hsa-mir-196a-2 rs11614913 and hsa-mir-149 rs2292832 had potential to be biomarkers for HBV-related HCC risk.

Abstract Objectives: To investigate the association between dectin-1 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to fungal infection (FI). Methods: Databases were searched electronically and manually to identify case–control studies concerning dectin-1 SNPs and FI, which were published up to 12 November 2018. The Newcastle–Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale was used to determine the study quality and bias. The SNP frequencies of the B (the variant or minor allele) and A (the wild or major allele) alleles of the dectin-1 gene in both cases and controls were analyzed with regard to FI susceptibility. Results: Eight high-quality studies were included in the review. Systemic review of the included studies demonstrated that dectin-1 SNPs rs3901533 and rs7309123 might be associated with susceptibility to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis infection; moreover, rs16910527 SNP can possibly increase the susceptibility to oropharyngeal candidiasis in HIV-positive patients. The meta-analysis identified significant associations between dectin-1 SNPs and overall FI risk in the homozygote model (pooled odds ratio (OR) 1.77, P=0.04). When classified by subtypes, significant associations were also found for deep FI in the homozygote model (pooled OR 2.46, P=0.01) and the recessive model (pooled OR 2.85, P=0.002). There appeared to be no significant association between dectin-1 SNPs and superficial FI. Conclusion: Systemic review of the included studies suggested that dectin-1 SNPs rs3901533, rs7309123, and rs16910527 might play a role in FI susceptibility. The meta-analysis provided convincing evidence that dectin-1 SNPs might have an important role in FI susceptibility, especially for deep FI.

Several studies have suggested that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene polymorphisms are associated with cancer risk. In the present study, we conducted a meta-analysis related to studies on the association between lncRNA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the overall risk of cancer. A total of 12 SNPs in five common lncRNA genes were finally included in the meta-analysis. In the lncRNA antisense non-coding RNA (ncRNA) in the INK4 locus (ANRIL), the rs1333048 A/C, rs4977574 A/G, and rs10757278 A/G polymorphisms, but not rs1333045 C/T, were correlated with overall cancer risk. Our study also demonstrated that other SNPs were correlated with overall cancer risk, namely, metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1, rs619586 A/G), HOXA distal transcript antisense RNA (HOTTIP, rs1859168 A/C), and highly up-regulated in liver cancer (HULC, rs7763881 A/C). Moreover, four prostate cancer-associated ncRNA 1 (PRNCR1, rs16901946 G/A, rs13252298 G/A, rs1016343 T/C, and rs1456315 G/A) SNPs were in association with cancer risk. No association was found between the PRNCR1 (rs7007694 C/T) SNP and the risk of cancer. In conclusion, our results suggest that several studied lncRNA SNPs are associated with overall cancer risk. Therefore, they might be potential predictive biomarkers for the risk of cancer. More studies based on larger sample sizes and more lncRNA SNPs are warranted to confirm these findings.

Background: The association between estrogen receptor-β (ESR2) rs4986938 polymorphism and the risk of various types of cancer have been investigated in previous studies. However, the results remained disputable. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between ESR2 rs4986938 polymorphism and the risk of cancer. Methods: We searched for relevant articles collected by the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library up to March 30, 2018. The association was assessed using Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: The meta-analysis involved a total of 23 studies in 20 papers, including 24,334 cases and 31,707 controls. No significant association was detected between the rs4986938 polymorphism and cancer risk in the additive model (A compared with G: OR=0.97, 95% CI=0.92-1.02, P=0.20), dominant model (AA+AG compared with GG: OR=0.96, 95% CI=0.93-1.03, P=1.00), recessive model (AA compared with AG + GG: OR=0.94, 95% CI=0.86-1.03, P=0.18), heterozygous model (AG compared with GG: OR=0.97, 95% CI=0.94-1.01, P=0.14), and homozygous model (AA compared with GG: OR=0.96, 95% CI=0.87-1.06, P=0.39). Results of subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity and cancer types further validated the results. Conclusion: We found no evidence of an association between rs4986938 and the risk of overall cancer.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Rs4778889 T>C is one of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in interleukin-16 (IL-16). As a growth factor, IL-16 might play a significant impact on cancer formation. Several studies have investigated the relationship between IL-16 rs4778889 T>C gene polymorphisms and cancer risk, but the results are contradictory. We conducted a meta-analysis on the association between IL-16 rs4778889 T>C gene polymorphism and cancer risk. METHODS: Twelve case–control studies with 3066 cases and 4433 controls from Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase databases were included. The data was analyzed using the STATA software and the combined odds ratio (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CIs) were used to identify the correlation strength. RESULTS: Our results show that no significant associations were observed between the IL-16 rs4778889 T>C gene polymorphisms and cancer risk in all genetic models (C vs. T: OR=1.06, 95% CI: 0.90–1.26, Ph<0.001; CC vs. TT: OR=1.07, 95% CI: 0.71–1.62, Ph<0.001; CT vs. TT: OR=1.07, 95% CI: 0.91–1.26, Ph=0.002; CC+CT vs. TT: OR=1.08, 95% CI: 0.90–1.30, Ph<0.001; CC vs. CT+TT: OR=1.04, 95% CI: 0.73–1.50, Ph=0.001). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses also were performed. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this meta-analysis indicate that there are no significant associations between IL-16 rs4778889 T>C gene polymorphisms and cancer risk. To verify these results, further studies with larger sample size and multiracial populations are needful. Keywords: IL-16, polymorphisms, cancer, meta-analysis
