RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: A series of studies have evaluated the association between -592A>C and -819T>C polymorphisms in the promoter regions of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and gastric cancer (GC) risk. However, the results remain inconclusive. OBJECTIVE: To better understand the association of the polymorphisms with GC risk, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis. METHOD: An electronic search was performed of several databases to identify relevant studies up to April 2018. RESULTS: A total of 44 case-control studies, including 26 studies on IL-10 -592A>C (5,332 cases and 8,272 controls) and 18 studies on IL-10 -819T>C (3,431 cases and 6,109 controls) were selected. Overall, -592A>C polymorphism was associated with the risk of GC under the heterozygote model (OR=1.153, 95% CI=1.020-1.305, p=0.023), but not -819T>C polymorphism. When stratified by ethnicity, significant association was only observed in the Asians under the allele model (OR=1.153, 95% CI=1.007-1.320, p=0.040) and the heterozygote model (OR=1.218, 95% CI=1.076-1.379, p=0.002) for -592A>C. CONCLUSION: The current meta-analysis results inconsistent with previous meta-analyses; showed that the IL-10 -592A>C polymorphism, but not -819T>C polymorphism, may be contributed to the susceptibility of GC in overall and Asian populations.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: There has been increasing interest in the study of the association between human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1) gene polymorphisms and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, results from previous studies are inconclusive. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted to derive a more precise estimation of the effects of this gene. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, Chinese Biomedical Literature databases until January 1, 2018. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the strength of the association. RESULTS: Finally, 38 case-control studies in 32 publications were identified met our inclusion criteria. There were 14 studies with 20668 cases and 19533 controls on hMLH1 -93G>A, 11 studies with 5,786 cases and 8,867 controls on 655A>G and 5 studies with 1409 cases and 1637 controls on 1151T>A polymorphism. The combined results showed that 655A>G and 1151T>A polymorphisms were significantly associated with CRC risk, whereas -93G>A polymorphism was not significantly associated with CRC risk. As for ethnicity, -93G>A and 655A>G polymorphisms were associated with increased risk of CRC among Asians, but not among Caucasians. More interestingly, subgroup analysis indicated that 655A>G might raise CRC risk in PCR-RFLP and HB subgroups. CONCLUSION: Inconsistent with previous meta-analyses, this meta-analysis shows that the hMLH1 655A>G and 1151T>A polymorphisms might be risk factors for CRC. Moreover, the -93G>A polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility of CRC in Asian population.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Several epidemiological studies have investigated the association of promoter region polymorphisms of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene with colorectal cancer (CRC), while the conclusion is still conflicting and inconclusive. OBJECTIVE: We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the association of promoter region polymorphisms of IL-10 with CRC. METHODS: Eligible articles were identified by a search of several bibliographic databases for the period up to March 15, 2018. The strength of the association was measured by odd ratios with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: A total of 28 case-control studies with 5,647 CRC cases and 6,908 controls were selected, including 14 studies for IL-10 -1082A>G (rs1800896) polymorphism (2,702 cases and 3,649 controls), eleven studies for -592C>A (rs1800872) polymorphism (3,259 cases and 4,992 controls), and three studies for -819T>C (rs1800871) polymorphism (477 cases and 544 controls). By pooling all eligible studies, we found that the IL-10 -1082A>G and -592C>A polymorphisms were not associated with increased CRC risk in overall population. However, there was significant associations between the IL-10 -819T>C polymorphism and CRC susceptibility under the allele model (A vs G: OR=1.278, 95% CI 1.043-1.566, P=0.018) and the recessive model (AA vs AG+GG: OR=1.709, 95% CI 1.026-2.845, P=0.039). CONCLUSION: In this meta-analysis we found that IL-10 -819T>C polymorphism was associated with significantly increased risk of CRC; while the IL-10 -1082A>G and -592C>A polymorphisms were not associated with CRC risk. The IL-10 -819T>C polymorphism may be important as suspected predictive factor of CRC occurrence.

RESUMO OBJETIVO: Tem havido crescente interesse no estudo da associação entre polimorfismos do gene mutL homólogo 1 humano (hMLH1) e risco de câncer colorretal (CRC). No entanto, os resultados de estudos anteriores não são conclusivos. Assim, uma meta-análise foi conduzida para obter uma estimativa mais precisa dos efeitos desse gene. MÉTODOS: Uma pesquisa abrangente foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Literature até 10 de janeiro de 2018. Odds ratio (OR) com 95% de intervalo de confiança (IC) foi utilizado para avaliar a força da associação. RESULTADOS: Finalmente, foram identificados 38 estudos de casos e controles em 32 publicações, atendendo aos nossos critérios de inclusão. Houve 14 estudos com 20.668 casos e 19.533 controles em hMLH1 −93G>A, 11 estudos com 5.786 casos e 8.867 controles em 655A>G e cinco estudos com 1.409 casos e 1.637 controles em 1151T>Um polimorfismo. Os resultados combinados mostraram que os polimorfismos 655A>G e 1151T>A estavam significativamente associados ao risco de CRC, enquanto que o polimorfismo −93G>A não estava significativamente associado ao risco de CRC. Quanto à etnia, os polimorfismos de −93G>A e 655A>G foram associados ao risco aumentado de CRC entre os asiáticos, mas não entre os caucasianos. Mais interessante, a análise de subgrupos indicou que 655A>G pode aumentar o risco de CRC em subgrupos PCR-RFLP e HB. CONCLUSÃO: Inconsistente com a meta-análise anterior, esta meta-análise mostra que os polimorfismos hMLH1 655A>G e 1151T>A podem ser fatores de risco para CRC. Além disso, o polimorfismo −93G>A está associado à susceptibilidade do CRC na população asiática.

RESUMO CONTEXTO: Vários estudos epidemiológicos têm investigado a associação de polimorfismo da região promotora do gene interleucina-10 (IL-10) com câncer colorretal (CRC), mas por enquanto a conclusão ainda é conflitante e inconclusiva. OBJETIVO: Foi realizada esta meta-análise para avaliar a associação de polimorfismo da região promotora do Il-10 com o câncer colorretal. MÉTODOS: Os artigos elegíveis foram identificados por uma pesquisa de várias bases de dados bibliográficas para o período até 15 de março de 2018. A força da associação foi medida por odds ratio (OR) com intervalos de 95% de confiança (IC). RESULTADOS: Um total de 28 estudos de casos-controles com 5.647 casos de câncer colorretal e 6.908 controles foram selecionados, incluindo 14 estudos para o polimorfismo de IL-10-1082A>G (rs1800896) (2.702 casos e 3.649 controles), 11 estudos para-592C>A (rs1800872) polimorfismo (3.259 casos e 4.992 controles), e três estudos para-819T>C (rs1800871) polimorfismo (477 casos e 544 controles). Ao reunir todos os estudos elegíveis, verificou-se que o Il-10-1082A>G e-592C>A polimorfismo não foram associados com o aumento do risco de câncer colorretal na população global. No entanto, houve associações significativas entre o polimorfismo IL-10-819T>C e a susceptibilidade de câncer colorretal o modelo alelo (A vs G: OR=1,278; 95% CI 1,043-1,566; P=0,018) e o modelo recessivo (AA vs AG + GG: ou =1,709; 95% CI 1,026-2,845; P=0,039). CONCLUSÃO: Nesta meta-análise revelou-se que o polimorfismo IL-10-819T>C foi associado a um risco significativamente maior de câncer colorretal; enquanto o Il-10-1082A>G e-592C>A polimorfismos não foram associados com o risco de câncer colorretal. O polimorfismo IL-10-819T>C pode ser importante como fator preditivo suspeito da ocorrência de câncer colorretal.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The promoter -1082 A/G (rs1800896) polymorphism of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene have been widely reported and considered to have a significant role on gastric cancer risk, but the results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the association, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the associations IL-10 -1082 A/G polymorphism with gastric cancer. METHODS: Eligible articles were identified by searching databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to August 03, 2017. Odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. RESULTS: A total of 30 case-control studies with 6,101 cases and 8,557 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, a significant association between IL-10 -1082 A/G polymorphism and gastric cancer risk was observed under the allele model (G vs A: OR=1.305, 95% CI=1.076-1.584; P=0.007), heterozygote model and (GA vs AA: OR=1.252, 95% CI=1.252-1.054; P=0.011) and dominant model (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.264, 95% CI=1.053-1.516; P=0.012). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, increased gastric cancer risk were found in Asians under the allele model (G vs A: OR=1.520, 95% CI=1.172-1.973; P=0.002), homozygote model (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.571, 95% CI=1.023-2.414; P= 0.039), heterozygote model (GA vs AA: OR=1.465, 95% CI=1.192-1.801; P≤0.001) and dominant model (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.448, 95% CI=1.152-1.821; P=0.002), but not among Caucasian and Latinos populations. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that the IL-10 -1082 A/G (rs1800896) polymorphism might contribute to the gastric cancer susceptibility, especially among Asians.

CONCLUSION: These results suggested that the IL-10 -1082 A/G (rs1800896) polymorphism might contribute to the gastric cancer susceptibility, especially among Asians.

RESUMO CONTEXTO: O promotor-1082 A/polimorfismo G (rs1800896) do gene da interleucina-10 (IL-10) é amplamente relatado e considerado por ter um papel significativo no risco de câncer gástrico, porém os resultados são inconsistentes. OBJETIVO: Para esclarecer melhor esta associação, realizou-se uma meta-análise para investigar as associações de IL-10-1082 A/polimorfismo G com câncer gástrico. MÉTODOS: Artigos elegíveis foram identificados através de pesquisa de bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science e Google Scholar até 3 de agosto de 2017. Razões de possibilidades (OR) com intervalo de confiança de 95% correspondente (CIs) foram usados para avaliar a associação. RESULTADOS: Um total de 30 estudos de caso-controle, 6.101 casos e com 8.557 controles foram incluídos nesta meta-análise. Em geral, uma associação significativa entre IL-10-1082 A/G polimorfismo e risco de câncer gástrico foi observada sob o modelo de alelo (G vs A: OR=1.305, 95% CI=1.076-1.584; P=0.007), no modelo heterozigoto (GA vs AA: OR=1.252, 95% CI=1.252-1.054; P=0.011) e modelo dominante (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.264, 95% CI=1.053-1.516; P=0.012). Na análise de subgrupo pela etnia, foi encontrado risco aumentado de câncer gástrico em asiáticos sob o modelo de alelo (G vs A: OR=1.520, 95% CI=1.172-1.973; P=0.002), modelo heterozigoto (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.571, 95% CI=1.023-2.414; P= 0.039), e modelo dominante (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.448, 95% CI=1.152-1.821; P=0.002), mas não entre a população caucasiana e latina. CONCLUSÃO: Estes resultados sugeriram que a IL-10-1082 A/polimorfismo G (rs1800896) pode contribuir para a suscetibilidade de câncer gástrico, especialmente entre os asiáticos.
