Abstract
Background/aim: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of breast cancer (BC). However, there is limited research on the role of MMP-2 genotypes in BC risk. This study aimed to investigate the associations between two MMP-2 promoter polymorphisms, rs243865 and rs2285053, and BC risk.
Materials and methods: MMP-2 genotypes were analyzed using PCR-based RFLP methodology in a cohort comprising 1,232 BC cases and 1,232 controls.
Results: Genotypic frequencies of MMP-2 rs243865 and rs2285053 in controls were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p=0.3702 and 0.2036, respectively). There were no significant differences in the distribution of rs243865 and rs2285053 genotypes between BC cases and controls (p for trend=0.1602 and 0.2170, respectively). Variant genotypes at rs243865 and rs2285053 appeared to confer a protective effect, although not statistically significant (all p>0.05). Similarly, the variant T allele at rs243865 and rs2285053 showed a non-significant trend towards decreased BC risk (OR=0.84 and 0.89, 95%CI=0.69-1.02 and 0.78-1.02, p=0.0811 and 0.1043, respectively). There was no interaction observed between MMP-2 rs243865 or rs2285053 genotypes and age. Stratified analysis did not reveal significant associations between MMP-2 rs243865 or rs2285053 genotypes and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (p=0.6458 and 0.8745, respectively). Among both TNBC and non-TNBC cases, none of the variant genotypes at rs243865 or rs2285053 showed significant associations with TNBC (all p>0.05).
Conclusion: MMP-2 rs243865 and rs2285053 genotypes appear to have a minimal impact on individual susceptibility to BC or TNBC.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics (CGP) is an international peer-reviewed journal designed to publish rapidly high quality articles and reviews on the application of genomic and proteomic technology to basic, experimental and clinical cancer research. In this site you may find information concerning the editorial board, editorial policy, issue contents, subscriptions, submission of manuscripts and advertising. The first issue of CGP circulated in January 2004.
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics is a journal of the International Institute of Anticancer Research. From January 2013 CGP is converted to an online-only open access journal.
Cancer Genomics & Proteomics supports (a) the aims and the research projects of the INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ANTICANCER RESEARCH and (b) the organization of the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES OF ANTICANCER RESEARCH.
