Accumulating researches have reported that miR-17-92 cluster expression has strong association with tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the effects of 2 genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the miR-17-92 cluster and the risk and prognosis of endometrial cancer in northern Chinese women. Two polymorphisms (rs9588884 and rs982873) in the promoter of miR-17-92 cluster were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction and ligase detection reaction (PCR-LDR) in398 EC patients and 420 controls. The levels of miR-17-92 mRNA were investigated in 65EC tissues by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The impact of genetic features on the risk and clinical outcomes of EC was analyzed. The prognostic value of hsa-miR-17 and hsa-miR-20a in EC patients was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier plotter database. The results showed that a significant decrease in risk of EC with rs9588884 (GG vs CC: OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.32-0.78, P = .002; G vs C: OR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.62-0.91, P = .005, respectively). Similarly, association was found between rs982873 and a decreased risk of EC (CC vs TT: OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.34-0.82, P = .004; C vs T: OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.63-0.94, P = .010, respectively). Moreover, survival analysis showed that the CG or GG genotype of rs9588884 may significantly increase overall survival (OS) compared with the CC genotype in the 5-year follow-up (HR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.29-0.82 and HR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.16-0.83, respectively). RT-qPCR results showed that the expression level of miR-17-92 mRNA in EC tissues with the rs9588884 GG genotype was significantly lower than those with the GC + CC genotype (P = .030). However, there was no significant difference in the prognosis and expression level of miR-17-92mRNA in tissues of EC patients with different genotypes of rs982873 (P = .343). In addition, analysis using Kaplan-Meier plotter database showed that high hsa-miR-20a expression was significantly correlated with poor OS in EC patients (HR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.02-2.61, P = .039). The genetic polymorphisms rs9588884 and rs982873 in the promoter of miR-17-92 cluster decreased EC risk. Both rs9588884 and the expression level of hsa-miR-20a mRNA may be associated with its clinical outcome in EC patients.
越来越多的研究报告表明,miR-17-92 簇的表达与肿瘤发生有很强的关联。在这项研究中,我们调查了 miR-17-92 簇启动子区域中的 2 种遗传多态性与中国北方女性子宫内膜癌的发病风险和预后的关系。通过聚合酶链反应和连接酶检测反应(PCR-LDR),在 398 名 EC 患者和 420 名对照中对 miR-17-92 簇启动子中的 2 个多态性(rs9588884 和 rs982873)进行了基因分型。通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)检测了 65 个 EC 组织中 miR-17-92 mRNA 的水平。分析了遗传特征对 EC 风险和临床结局的影响。使用 Kaplan-Meier plotter 数据库评估了 hsa-miR-17 和 hsa-miR-20a 在 EC 患者中的预后价值。结果表明,rs9588884(GG 与 CC:OR=0.49,95%CI=0.32-0.78,P=0.002;G 与 C:OR=0.75,95%CI=0.62-0.91,P=0.005)的基因型与 EC 风险显著降低相关。同样,rs982873 与 EC 风险降低相关(CC 与 TT:OR=0.53,95%CI=0.34-0.82,P=0.004;C 与 T:OR=0.77,95%CI=0.63-0.94,P=0.010)。此外,生存分析表明,在 5 年随访中,rs9588884 的 CG 或 GG 基因型与 CC 基因型相比,可能显著增加总生存率(OS)(HR=0.49,95%CI=0.29-0.82 和 HR=0.36,95%CI=0.16-0.83,分别)。RT-qPCR 结果表明,rs9588884 GG 基因型 EC 组织中 miR-17-92 mRNA 的表达水平明显低于 GC+CC 基因型(P=0.030)。然而,在 rs982873 不同基因型的 EC 患者组织中,miR-17-92mRNA 的预后和表达水平无显著差异(P=0.343)。此外,使用 Kaplan-Meier plotter 数据库的分析表明,hsa-miR-20a 的高表达与 EC 患者的不良 OS 显著相关(HR=1.63,95%CI=1.02-2.61,P=0.039)。miR-17-92 簇启动子中的遗传多态性 rs9588884 和 rs982873 降低了 EC 的发病风险。rs9588884 与 hsa-miR-20a mRNA 的表达水平可能都与 EC 患者的临床结局有关。
