Abstract
Background: This study aims to assess the association between lncRNA-NKILA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to gastric cancer in the Chinese Han population.
Research design and methods: Four functional SNPs (rs911157, rs16981280, rs2273534, and rs957313) were validated using bioinformatics analysis and genotyped in 490 patients and 490 controls. A case-control study was conducted to analyze the association between NKILA SNPs and gastric cancer risk. qRT-PCR was conducted to detect the NKILA expression in plasma of different rs911157 and rs16981280 genotypes. The effect of rs16981280 C>T mutation on the binding ability of NKILA and miR-6731-5p was verified by dual-luciferase experiment.
Results: In this study, rs911157 CT genotype (OR:1.72, 95%CI:1.20-2.69) was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer, whereas rs16981280 CG (OR:0.64, 95%CI:0.48-0.85) and GG genotypes (OR:0.56, 95%CI:0.36-0.87) were associated with a reduced risk. The population attributable risk percentage for rs911157 T-carriers was below 10%, while for the rs16981280 CC genotype was approximately 15%. Rs911157 C carried a binding site with miR-6731-5p while T allele might cause the target loss.
Conclusions: In summary, NKILA polymorphism might be related to the susceptibility of gastric cancer. NKILA rs911157 C/T genotype probably affects the function of gastric cancer cells by modulating the interactions with of miR-6731-5p.
