Abstract
Background
Cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases play an important role in inflammation and metastasis in the development of cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in these genes may affect gene expression and protein activity and, therefore, may be associated with cancer predisposition. The study seeks to examine the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the cytokines (Interleukin-1α and Interleukin-12β) and Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP9) gene with oral cancer. The interplay of the genetic variants, Interleukin 1α -889 C/T (rs1800587), Interleukin 12β +1188A/B (rs3212227), and MMP9 R279Q (rs17576) with tobacco chewing and smoking habits is determined in patients with oral cancer and controls. The relationship between these genetic variations with the tumor size, lymph node involvement, and metastasis in oral cancer was studied.
Method
Case-control research was implemented with a total of 150 participants, which includes 50 individuals who were diagnosed with oral cancer and 100 healthy volunteers. The study on Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) was performed using the Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.
Results
Interleukin-1α -889 C/T polymorphism was significantly associated with oral cancer. The heterozygous genotype (CT) IL-1α -899 C/T was most frequent in oral cancer patients with a p value of 0.000002 in the chi-square test with no node involvement or metastasis. No interaction with the smoking or tobacco chewing habit with the genotypes of any of the genes is observed. The genotype of the mutant (TT) was also significantly different among the two groups (p = 0.01, OR = 7.63, CI- 1.5–37.5). The distribution of the mutant RR genotype of MMP9 R279Q in oral cancer patients was statistically significant in comparison with healthy controls (p = 0.005, OR = 4.46, CI- 1.52–3.04). The genotypic variants of IL-12β +1188A/B were, however, not found to be associated with oral cancer risk. IL-1α-899 (CT) and MMP9R279Q (RR) genotypes were found to be significantly associated with tumor size.
Conclusion
This finding indicates that the substitution of C to T at IL-1α-889 position and substitution of glutamine with arginine at amino acid position 279 in MMP9 due to single nucleotide polymorphism increases the risk of oral cancer. IL-12β +1188 polymorphism was not associated with oral cancer risk. Habit does not play any role in the interaction of these genes with oral cancer.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
