Background Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is considered to be a risk factor for cancer; however, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the impacts of the IL-12 rs3212227 and rs568408 gene polymorphisms on HCC. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Chinese Knowledge Infrastructure databases for studies on the associations between HCC and IL-12 rs568408 and rs3212227 polymorphisms published prior to 1 May 2020. The effects of the polymorphisms on HCC susceptibility were presented as odds ratios (ORs) and associated 95% confidence intervals. Results Seven studies were ultimately included, including 2375 cases and 3445 controls. The rs3212227 polymorphism was significantly associated with the risk of HCC in both the dominant model (CC+AC vs. AA, OR=1.22) and the allele model (C vs. A, OR=1.12). Combined analysis of rs568408 yielded a significant relative risk for HCC in the dominant (AA+AG vs. GG, OR=1.13), recessive (AA vs. AG+GG, OR=1.72), allele (A vs. G, OR=1.29), heterozygote (AG vs. GG, OR=1.27), and homozygote models (AA vs. GG, OR 1.17). Conclusion The IL-12 rs3212227 and rs568408 gene polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of HCC.

Abstract Background: Adipokines gene polymorphisms are speculated to have associations with the risk of osteoarthritis (OA), but evidences remain conflicting. This study therefore aimed to examine the potential associations between adipokines gene polymorphisms and OA.Methods: A systematic search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang up to March 31, 2020. Meta-analysis was carried out by focusing on associations between adipokines gene polymorphisms and OA with allele model, dominant model, recessive model, homozygote model, and heterozygote model.Results: The present meta-analysis included 13 studies containing 3,661 OA patients and 4,864 controls for analysis. Significant associations were observed between ADIPOQ rs2241766 and OA in Asians (dominant: OR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.03-1.78; heterozygote: OR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.07-1.19), between LEPR rs1137101 and OA in the overall population (recessive: OR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.21-0.79; homozygote: OR = 0.38, 95% CI 0.18-0.79), between VISFATIN rs4730153 and OA in Asians (allele: OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.41-0.83; dominant: OR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.39-0.83; heterozygote: OR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.40-0.86), and between VISFATIN rs16872158 and OA in Asians (allele: OR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.26-2.68; dominant: OR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.31-2.89; heterozygote: OR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.31-2.95).Conclusions: Adipokines gene polymorphisms may be associated with OA. In particular, associations were observed in ADIPOQ rs2241766, LEPR rs1137101, VISFATIN rs4730153, and VISFATIN rs16872158 in the present study. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020187664.

Objective. We aimed to derive a more precise estimation of the associations between human leukocyte antigens DP (HLA-DP) gene polymorphisms and cervical cancer risk by meta-analysis. Methods. PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases were systematically searched to identify studies investigating the relationship between HLA-DP gene polymorphisms and cervical cancer. The associations between them were evaluated by pooled OR and 95% CI. Results. A total of 11 studies including 5008 cases and 9322 controls with 11 HLA-DP alleles were included in the current meta-analysis. Results. The results showed that HLA-DPB1⁎03:01 was significantly associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer (OR=1.252, 95%CI: 1.116-1.403, Pz=0.001), while HLA-DPB1⁎04:02 and HLA-DP rs3117027 G allele were significantly associated with a decreased risk of cervical cancer (OR=0.744, 95%CI: 0.652-0.848, Pz=0.001; OR=0.790, 95%CI: 0.745-0.837, Pz=0.001), and HLA-DP rs9277535 G allele was significantly associated with a decreased risk of cervical cancer in Asia (OR=0.802, 95%CI: 0.753-0.855, Pz=0.001). Subgroup analyses based on race system showed that HLA-DPB1⁎13:01 was significantly associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer in Asia (OR=1.834, 95%CI: 1.107-3.039, Pz=0.019). No significant association was established for the HLA-DP following alleles: DPB1⁎02:01, DPB1⁎02:02, DPB1⁎04:01, DPB1⁎05:01, rs4282438, and rs3077. Conclusion. HLA-DP gene polymorphisms (HLA-DPB1⁎03:01, DPB1⁎04:02, DPB1⁎13:01, rs9277535, and rs3117027) were significantly associated with cervical cancer.

Abstract Background: The association between leptin, adiponectin levels and the risk as well as prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma has been investigated by an increasing number of studies, but the results were controversial.Methods: A meta-analysis was performed to assess the correlation between leptin, adiponectin levels and risk and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (CRD42020195882). Through June 14, 2020, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase databases, Clinicaltrials, and Opengrey were searched, including references of qualifying articles. Titles, abstracts, and main texts were reviewed by at least 2 independent readers. Stata 16.0 was used to calculate statistical data.Results: Thirty studies were included in this meta-analysis and results showed that hepatocellular carcinoma group had significantly higher leptin levels than the cancer-free control group (SMD = 1.83, 95% CI (1.09, 2.58), P = 0.000) , the healthy control group (SMD = 4.32, 95% CI (2.41, 6.24), P = 0.000) and the cirrhosis group (SMD = 1.85, 95% CI (0.70, 3.01), P = 0.002). Hepatocellular carcinoma group had significantly higher adiponectin levels than the healthy control group (SMD = 1.57, 95% CI (0.37, 2.76), P = 0.010), but no statistical difference compared with the cancer-free control group (SMD = 0.24, 95% CI (-0.35, 0.82), P = 0.430) and the cirrhosis group (SMD = -0.51, 95% CI (-1.30, 0.29), P= 0.213). The leptin rs7799039 polymorphism was associated with increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (G vs A: OR = 1.28, 95% CI (1.10, 1.48), P = 0.002). There were linear relationships between adiponectin levels and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (OR = 1.066, 95% CI (1.03, 1.11), P = 0.001). In addition, the results showed that high/positive expression of adiponectin was significantly related to lower overall survival in hepatocellular carcinoma patients (HR = 1.70, 95% CI (1.22, 2.37), P = 0.002); however, there was no significantly association between the leptin levels and overall survival (HR = 0.92, 95% CI (0.53, 1.59), P = 0.766).Conclusion: The study shows that high leptin levels are associated with a higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. Adiponectin levels are proportional to hepatocellular carcinoma risk, and are related to the poor prognosis.

Abstract Background: The engulfment and cell motility 1 (ELMO1) and interleukin-8 (IL8) gene polymorphisms have been previously implicated in diabetic nephropathy (DN) susceptibility. However, the results are inconsistent. We aimed to examine this issue by systematic meta-analysis. Methods: An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Database to identify all the eligible studies. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to investigate the associations. All statistical analyses were performed by STATA 12.0. Results: Of the 11 studies included, 9 studies were performed to detect EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism; 5 studies were used to examine IL-8 rs4073 polymorphism. The results revealed no significant association between EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism and DN risk. While, stratified analysis by ethnicity indicated that EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of DN risk among Asians (GG vs. GA +AA: OR= 1.840, 95% CI= 1.338-2.529, P= 0.000; GG vs. AA: OR= 1.834, 95% CI= 1.309-2.569, P= 0.000; G vs. A: OR= 1.222, 95% CI= 1.053-1.417, P= 0.008). As for IL-8 rs4073 polymorphism, a positive correlation between this gene polymorphism and DN risk was found (AA+AT vs. TT: OR= 1.450, 95% CI= 1.166-1.802, P= 0.001; AT vs. TT: OR= 1.420, 95% CI= 1.129-1.786, P= 0.003; AA vs. TT: OR= 1.553, 95% CI= 1.094-2.203, P= 0.014; A vs. T: OR= 1.291, 95% CI= 1.102-1.512, P= 0.002). After stratified population by ethnicity, the results in Caucasians remained significant (AA+AT vs. TT: OR= 1.770, 95% CI= 1.354-2.315, P= 0.000; AT vs. TT: OR= 1.733, 95% CI= 1.304-2.302, P= 0.000; AA vs. TT: OR= 1.939, 95% CI= 1.263-2.976, P= 0.002; A vs. T: OR= 1.494, 95% CI= 1.227-1.820, P= 0.000). Conclusions: This meta-analysis indicates that the GG genotype of EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism and the A allele of IL-8 rs4073 polymorphism might be risk factors for the development of DN.

Purpose: The correlation between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 ( PNPLA3) rs738409 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated by several pilot studies, but the results of these studies were controversial. Therefore, we performed this study to better assess the relationship between PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism and the likelihood of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the relationship between PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma. Results: A total of 17 studies with 10,330 participants were analyzed. A significant association with the likelihood of hepatocellular carcinoma was detected for the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism in dominant ( P = 0.0001; OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.53, 0.82), recessive ( P < 0.0001; OR 2.32; 95% CI 1.76, 3.06) and allele ( P < 0.0001; OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.53, 0.77) comparisons. Further subgroup analyses revealed that the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism was significantly associated with the likelihood of hepatocellular carcinoma in Caucasians (dominant model: P < 0.0001, OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.45, 0.71; recessive model: P < 0.0001, OR 2.74, 95% CI 2.02, 3.71; allele model: P < 0.0001, OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.46, 0.67). However, no positive results were detected in Asians. Conclusions: Our findings indicated that the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism may serve as a potential biological marker of hepatocellular carcinoma in Caucasians.

This study is to investigate the relationship of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) gene polymorphisms with psoriasis. Five databases of PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for potential studies until 25 December 2019. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed with PRISMA. A total of 9 case-control studies including 4858 psoriasis cases and 10,542 healthy controls were included. Three loci of ERAP1 gene polymorphisms (rs26653, rs30187, and rs27524) were evaluated in this meta-analysis. There was no significant association between rs26653 polymorphism and risk of psoriasis (C vs. G, OR = 1.01 , 95% CI: 0.80-1.28, P = 0.93 ). However, there was a significant association between rs30187 polymorphisms and psoriasis susceptibility (T vs. C, OR = 1.23 , 95% CI: 1.15-1.32, P < 0.00001 ) and a significant association between rs27524 polymorphisms and psoriasis susceptibility (A vs. G, OR = 1.17 , 95% CI: 1.09-1.25, P < 0.00001 ). For there were insufficient data of rs27044, rs151823, rs2248374, and rs2910686, we only conducted a systematic review for them. The rs30187 (C/T) and rs27524 (G/A) polymorphisms of ERAP1 are associated with increased risk of psoriasis. However, no significant association is observed between rs26653 (G/C) polymorphism and risk of psoriasis.
