SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS WITHIN GENES REGULATING IMMUNE RESPONSE AND ANTIOXIDANT DEFENCE IN PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL AND GASTRIC CANCER
Abstract
Background. During the recent decade, studies on inherited variation within innate immune response and antioxidant defense genes and cancer highlighted a number of significant associations; however, this is not the case for colorectal cancer. Aim. ofIL1B_1473G/C (rs1143623), SOD1_7958A/G (rs4998557), TLR4_1196C/T (rs4986791), IL10_1082A/G (rs1800896), IL17A_197G/A (rs2275913), andTLR4_896A/G (rs4986790) polymorphisms with colorectal and gastric cancer. Materials and methods. We recruited 244 consecutive patients with colorectal cancer and 72 patients with gastric canceralong with 300 age- and gender-matched asymptomatic individuals. Genotyping was carried out using allele-specific polymerasechain reaction following electrophoretic detection. Statistical analysis was performed bySNPStats software. Results. We revealed that heterozygous genotypes of theIL1B_1473G/C and TLR4_896A/G polymorphisms were significantly associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer, particularly rectal cancer. Incontrast, C/Cgenotypeof the IL1B_1473G/C polymorphism was significantly associated with a lower risk of colon cancer. Conclusion. Polymorphisms within the genes encoding interleukins and Toll-like receptors may play a role in the development of colorectal cancer.
