Identification of a NFKBIA polymorphism associated with lower NFKBIA protein levels and poor survival outcomes in patients with glioblastoma multiforme

چکیده
The aberrant constitutive activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) has been observed in glioblastomas, while NF-κB inhibitor alpha (NFKBIA) inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway under several physiological processes. However, the contribution of NFKBIA to glioblastomas is poorly understood. In the present study, using gene sequencing, we identified rs1957106 as a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in NFKBIA in glioblastoma and found that it was more frequently present in glioblastoma patients. In addition, we examined the association between different genotypes of the rs1957106 SNP of NFKBIA and the gene copy number, mRNA level and protein expression of NFKBIA. The SNP rs1957106 CT and TT genotypes were found to be associated with lower NFKBIA protein levels and a poor prognosis of pateints with glioblastoma. Hence, by identifying rs1957106 as a novel SNP in NFKBIA in glioblastoma patients, we provide a new platform for further investigating the function of NFKBIA in the pathobiology of glioblastoma.

NFKBIA deletion in glioblastomas.
BACKGROUND Amplification and activating mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) oncogene are molecular hallmarks of glioblastomas. We hypothesized that deletion of NFKBIA (encoding nuclear factor of κ-light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor-α), an inhibitor of the EGFR-signaling pathway, promotes tumorigenesis in glioblastomas that do not have alterations of EGFR. ...

متن کاملDeletion and low expression of NFKBIA are associated with poor prognosis in lower-grade glioma patients
Lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), which are uniformly fatal in young adults, are classified as grades II-III tumors according to their histological features. The NFκB transcription factor, a crucial player in cancer initiation and progression, is inactivated in the cytoplasm by inhibitory proteins (IκBs) that have been shown to exert tumor-suppressor activity. Therefore, using The Cancer Genome Atlas...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most frequent tumors in the central nervous system and the most malignant tumor among gliomas. In the past two decades, cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies have identified a number of recurrent chromosomal abnor‐ malities and genetic alterations in malignant gliomas, particularly in GBM [1]. It was already described that GBM harbors combinations...

BACKGROUND Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and nuclear factor of kappa light chain gene enhancer in activated B cells (NF-κB) play critical role in carcinogenesis processes like tumour initiation, proliferation, migration and invasion. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in TNF-α, NF-κB and its inhibitor IκB genes were shown to be associated with susceptibility and prognosis of several cancers...
