Genetic variations of NTCP are associated with susceptibility to HBV infection and related hepatocellular carcinoma
Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), encoded by gene SLC10A1, is a receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV). The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of NTCP polymorphisms in HBV susceptibility, cirrhosis and hepatocarcinogenesis. A total 1221 cases [including 866 chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 238 liver cirrhosis (LC), 117 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients] and ...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms in DNA double-strand break repair genes XRCC5, XRCC6 and susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma.
Environmental risk factors cause DNA damages. Imprecise DNA repair leads to chromosome aberrations, genome destabilization and hepatocarcinogenesis. Ku is a key DNA double-strand break repair protein. We hypothesized that the genetic variants in Ku subunits encoding genes, XRCC5/XRCC6, may contribute to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility. We genotyped 13 common single nucleotide poly...
متن کاملDNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma
The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...
متن کاملAssociation between genetic polymorphisms of antioxidant enzyme genes and susceptibility to hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis
This study was to analysis the correlation between genetic polymorphisms in antioxidant enzyme genes and the susceptibility factors to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using meta analysis. Electronic searches were conducted in Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane library. Retrieval keywords included antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutases, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and hepatocellular carcinoma. ...
متن کاملGenetic variations in microRNA-related genes are novel susceptibility loci for esophageal cancer risk.
MicroRNAs (miRNA) can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors and modulate the expression of approximately one third of all human genes. To test the hypothesis that adverse alleles in miRNA-related genes may increase the risk for esophageal cancer, we assessed the associations between esophageal cancer risk and 41 potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 26 miRNA-related ge...
