Abstract
Background: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is among the vital pro-inflammatory cytokines that potentially exerts a significant influence on the immune response, hence potentially regulating the advancement of cervical lesions.
Objective: Our study objective was to examine the relationship between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1799724 and rs1800629) of TNF-α and the risk of cervical cancer in women from Bangladesh.
Methods: We recruited 133 patients with cervical cancer and 126 healthy individuals for this study. Genotyping was performed using real-time PCR SNP genotyping assay. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the odds ratio (OR) along with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p-values.
Results: For rs1799724 (C > T) polymorphism, TT mutant homozygous genotype carried 3.26 times increased risk of developing cervical cancer (OR = 3.26, 95% CI = 1.15-9.28, p = 0.027). Polymorphism of rs1800629 (G > A) was also related to an elevated risk of cervical cancer. Individuals with the AG heterozygous genotype (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = 1.20-6.74, p = 0.017) and AA mutant homozygous genotype (OR = 4.55, 95% CI = 1.24-16.60, p = 0.022) also had a higher likelihood of having cervical cancer. Moreover, we found that injectable contraceptives increase the risk of cervical cancer. Individuals who smoked and/or had first-degree relatives with cancer were more likely to carry the risk allele, which increases the likelihood of developing cervical cancer.
Conclusion: TNF-α polymorphisms in rs1799724 and rs1800629 increase the susceptibility of developing cervical cancer in women from Bangladesh.
期刊介绍:
Tumor Biology is a peer reviewed, international journal providing an open access forum for experimental and clinical cancer research. Tumor Biology covers all aspects of tumor markers, molecular biomarkers, tumor targeting, and mechanisms of tumor development and progression.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Pathway analyses,
Non-coding RNAs,
Circulating tumor cells,
Liquid biopsies,
Exosomes,
Epigenetics,
Cancer stem cells,
Tumor immunology and immunotherapy,
Tumor microenvironment,
Targeted therapies,
Therapy resistance
Cancer genetics,
Cancer risk screening.
Studies in other areas of basic, clinical and translational cancer research are also considered in order to promote connections and discoveries across different disciplines.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, commentaries and guidelines on tumor marker use. All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication.
Tumor Biology is the Official Journal of the International Society of Oncology and BioMarkers (ISOBM).
