- Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as vital candidates to mediate cancer risk. Here, we aimed to identify the risk single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-induced lncRNAs and to investigate their roles in gastric cancer (GC) development. Through integrating the differential expression analysis of lncRNAs in GC tissues and expression quantitative trait loci analysis in normal stomach tissues and GC tissues, as well as genetic association analysis based on GC genome-wide association studies and an independent validation study, we identified four lncRNA-related SNPs consistently associated with GC risk, including SNHG7 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09–1.23], NRAV (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05–1.17), LINC01082 (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.08–1.22) and FENDRR (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.07–1.25). We further found that a functional SNP rs6489786 at 12q24.31 increases binding of MEOX1 or MEOX2 at a distal enhancer and results in up-regulation of NRAV. The functional assays revealed that NRAV accelerates GC cell proliferation while inhibits GC cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, NRAV decreases the expression of key subunit genes through the electron transport chain, thereby driving the glucose metabolism reprogramming from aerobic respiration to glycolysis. These findings suggest that regulating lncRNA expression is a crucial mechanism for risk-associated variants in promoting GC development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Dietary and genetic factors are considered to be associated with UGI cancer risk. However, examinations of the effect of healthy diet on UGI cancer risk and the extent to which healthy diet modifies the impact of genetic susceptibility on UGI cancer remains limited. Associations were analyzed through Cox regression of the UK Biobank data (n = 415,589). Healthy diet, based on "healthy diet score," was determined according to fruit, vegetables, grains, fish, and meat consumption. We compared adherence to healthy diet and the risk of UGI cancer. We also constructed a UGI polygenic risk score (UGI-PRS) to assess the combined effect of genetic risk and healthy diet. For the results high adherence to healthy diet reduced 24% UGI cancer risk (HR
high-quality diet : 0.76 (0.62–0.93), p = 0.009). A combined effect of high genetic risk and unhealthy diet on UGI cancer risk was observed, with HR reaching 1.60 (1.20–2.13, p = 0.001). Among participants with high genetic risk, the absolute five-year incidence risk of UGI cancer was significantly reduced, from 0.16% to 0.10%, by having a healthy diet. In summary, healthy diet decreased UGI cancer risk, and individuals with high genetic risk can attenuate UGI cancer risk by adopting a healthy diet. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer risk has been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), a surrogate indicator for unhealthy lifestyles, and a number of genetic loci, but the combined effect of MetS and genetic variants on GI cancer risk is uncertain. Methods: We included 430,036 participants with available MetS and genotype data from UK Biobank. During the follow‐up time, 5494 incident GI cancer cases, including esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer, were identified. We created a GI polygenic risk score (GI‐PRS) for overall GI cancer derived from three site‐specific cancer PRSs. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the associations of MetS and GI‐PRS with the risk of GI cancer. Results: MetS was significantly associated with 28% increment in GI cancer risk (hazard ratio [HR]MetS vs. non‐MetS: 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21–1.35, p < 0.0001), whereas a high GI‐PRS (top quintile) was associated with 2.28‐fold increase in risk (HRhigh vs. low: 2.28, 95% CI: 2.09–2.49, p < 0.0001). Compared with participants without MetS and at low genetic risk (bottom quintile of GI‐PRS), those with MetS and at high genetic risk had 2.75‐fold increase in GI cancer risk (HR: 2.75, 95% CI: 2.43–3.12, p < 0.0001). Additionally, MetS in comparison with no MetS had 1.49‰, 2.75‰, and 3.37‰ absolute risk increases in 5 years among participants at low, intermediate (quintiles 2–4 of GI‐PRS) and high genetic risk, respectively, representing the number of subjects diagnosed as MetS causing a new GI cancer case in 5 years were 669, 364, and 296, respectively. Conclusions: Metabolic and genetic factors may jointly contribute to GI cancer risk and may serve as predictors by quantitative measurements to identify high‐risk populations of GI cancer for precise prevention.

Background and aims: Previous studies have reported the association between limited number of Helicobacterpylori (H. pylori) antigens and gastric cancer (GC) risk. The present study evaluated the association between serum antibodies against 15 different H. pylori proteins measured by using multiplex serology assay and GC risk. Methods: We searched PubMed databases, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for relevant articles. A meta‐analysis was used to pool studies and to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) of different H. pylori antigens associated with GC risk. Heterogeneity was investigated using Cochran's Q test and I‐squared statistic. Results: Nine studies were identified, with a total of 3209 GC cases and 6964 controls. Five H. pylori virulence factors were significantly associated with non‐cardia GC risk at p‐value <0.0033 including: CagA (OR = 3.22, 95%CI: 2.10–4.94), HP0305 (OR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.32–2.25), HyuA (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.13–1.79), Omp (OR = 1.83, 95%CI: 1.30–2.58), and VacA (OR = 2.05, 95%CI: 1.67–2.52). However, none of the 15 antigens was associated with cardia GC risk. In subgroup analysis by ethnicity, we identified 7 antigens associated with the risk of non‐cardia GC among East Asian while only two antigens were identified in European population. Nevertheless, CagA and GroEL showed a stronger association in Caucasian (CagA OR = 5.83, 95%CI: 3.31–10.26; GroEL OR = 3.66, 95%CI: 1.58–8.50) compared with East Asian (CagA OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.85–2.61; GroEL OR = 1.47, 95%CI: 1.29–1.68). Conclusions: This study determined that H. pylori infection increases the risk of non‐cardia GC with differential effects by its virulence factors and with different patterns among East Asian and European populations. These results advance the understanding of the effect of H. pylori on GC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Glutathione peroxidase-7 (GPX7) is a newly discovered non-selenium-containing protein with glutathione peroxidase activity, which mainly protects the organism from oxidative damage and is very important for basic biology studies. This study aims to reveal the expression pattern of GPX7 and its prognosis potential from a pan-cancer perspective. Methods: Expression levels of GPX7 in human tumor tissues and normal tissues were evaluated using Human Protein Atlas (HPA), the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) and UALCAN databases. The prognostic potential of GPX7 for 33 TCGA tumors was evaluated by Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis. Subsequently, the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) dataset was used to further verify the expression of GPX7 and its prognostic potential in glioma. We explored the correlation between GPX7 and immune infiltration, tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI). Furthermore, a nomogram lower-grade glioma (LGG) was constructed to verify the prognostic outcome of patients. Finally, the relationship between GPX7 and treatment regimens for LGG was also explored. Results: GPX7 was overexpressed in multiple tumors. Elevated expression of GPX7 was associated with poor prognosis of LGG patients (OS hazard ratio (HR) = 1.044, P < 0.0001; DFS HR = 1.035, P < 0.0001; PFS HR = 1.045, P < 0.0001). GPX7 was proved to be an independent prognostic factor of LGG through univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. The nomogram confirmed a better predictability (Concordance index (C-index): 0.845; 95% CI, 0.825– 0.865). GPX7 was positively correlated with TMB in LGG. GPX7 expression was negatively correlated with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of temozolomide (TMZ) (
spearman = − 0.59, P =1.3e-48). Conclusion: GPX7 was upregulated in multiple tumors, and it was a potential prognostic biomarker in LGG. High-expressed GPX7 can predict the sensitivity of TMZ in LGG patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background and Aim: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection rates have been changing with different populations and geographic areas. We systematically evaluated the longitudinal trends in H. pylori prevalence in China over the past decades. Methods: We performed a systematic review of literature reporting the prevalence of H. pylori infection in mainland China from 1990 to 2019 in the PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. We conducted a meta‐analysis of qualified studies using a random effects model to estimate the pooled prevalence with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Results: A total of 412 eligible studies with 1 377 349 subjects were included. The pooled H. pylori prevalence was 44.2% (95%CI: 43.0–45.5%) in mainland China, with an estimated 589 million individuals infected with H. pylori. The prevalence was relatively high in the Northwest (51.8%, 95%CI: 47.5–56.1%), East (47.7%, 95%CI: 45.4–50.0%), and Southwest China (46.6%, 95%CI: 42.1–51.1%). The prevalence significantly decreased from 58.3% (95%CI: 50.7–65.5%) in the period 1983–1994 to 40.0% (95%CI: 38.2–41.8%) in the period 2015–2019. The prevalence increased with age, ranging from 28.0% (95%CI: 23.9–32.5%) in children and adolescents to 46.1% (95%CI: 44.5–47.6%) in adults. Conclusion: Although the burden of H. pylori infections is still huge in China, the infection rate has been decreasing over the past decades. Targeted H. pylori eradication strategies may be considered in areas or populations with a high incidence of gastric cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple gastric cancer risk loci and several protein‐coding susceptibility genes. However, the role of long‐noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) transcribed from these risk loci in gastric cancer development and progression remains to be explored. Here, we functionally characterize a lncRNA, lncPSCA, as a novel tumor suppressor whose expression is fine‐regulated by a gastric cancer risk‐associated genetic variant. The rs2978980 T > G change in an intronic enhancer of lncPSCA interrupts binding of transcription factor RORA, which down‐regulates lncPSCA expression in an allele‐specific manner. LncPSCA interacts with DDX5 and promotes DDX5 degradation through ubiquitination. Increased expression of lncPSCA results in low levels of DDX5, less RNA polymerase II (Pol II) binding with DDX5 in the nucleus, thus activating transcription of multiple p53 signaling genes by Pol II. These findings highlight the importance of functionally annotating lncRNAs in GWAS risk loci and the great potential of modulating lncRNAs as innovative cancer therapy. Synopsis: The long non‐coding RNA lncPSCA is a tumor suppressor encoded at the 8q24.3 gastric cancer risk locus. LncPSCA promotes DDX5 degradation, reduces RNA polymerase II interactions with DDX5, and activates transcription of multiple p53 signaling genes. LncRNA lncPSCA is a novel tumor suppressor at the 8q24.3 gastric cancer risk locus.The rs2978980 risk polymorphism interrupts RORA binding to a lncPSCA enhancer and down‐regulates its expression in an allele‐specific manner.LncPSCA interacts with DDX5 and promotes DDX5 degradation via ubiquitination.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several susceptibility loci for gastric cancer (GC), but the majority of identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) fall within the non-coding region and are likely to exert their biological function by modulating gene expression. To systematically estimate expression-associated SNPs (eSNPs) that confer genetic predisposition to GC, we evaluated the associations of 314,203 stomach tissue-specific eSNPs with GC risk in three GWAS datasets (2,631 cases and 4,373 controls). Subsequently, we conducted a gene-based analysis to calculate the cumulative effect of eSNPs through sequence kernel association combined test and Sherlock integrative analysis. At the SNP-level, we identified two novel variants (rs836545 at 7p22.1 and rs1892252 at 6p22.2) associated with GC risk. The risk allele carriers of rs836545-T and rs1892252-G exhibited higher expression levels of DAGLB (P = 3.70 × 10
–18 ) and BTN3A2 (P = 3.20 × 10–5 ), respectively. Gene-based analyses identified DAGLB and FBXO43 as novel susceptibility genes for GC. DAGLB and FBXO43 were significantly overexpressed in GC tissues than in their adjacent tissues (P = 5.59 × 10–7 and P = 3.90 × 10–6 , respectively), and high expression level of these two genes was associated with an unfavorable prognosis of GC patients (P = 1.30 × 10–7 and P = 7.60 × 10–3 , respectively). Co-expression genes with these two novel genes in normal stomach tissues were significantly enriched in several cancer-related pathways, including P53, MAPK and TGF-beta pathways. In summary, our findings confirm the importance of eSNPs in dissecting the genetic basis of GC, and the identified eSNPs and relevant genes will provide new insight into the genetic and biological basis for the mechanism of GC development.

Abstract In noninvasive near-infrared (NIR) noncontact measurement, a cross-polarization method is employed to eliminate undesired surface reflection and extract useful internal information. Experiments on various samples (both in vitro and in vivo) at different source-detector separations (SDSs) were conducted to investigate the effectiveness of this method. In conclusion, the cross-polarization method is proved to be effective in eliminating surface reflection as well as conducive to the measurement of objects' internal information and this method is more suitable for scattering objects with smooth surfaces and complex interiors. Furthermore, a larger SDS can lead to a better measurement effect. This study can be a reference for tissue constituent sensing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Age is the most important risk factor for cancer, but aging rates are heterogeneous across individuals. We explored a new measure of aging-Phenotypic Age (PhenoAge)-in the risk prediction of site-specific and overall cancer., Methods: Using Cox regression models, we examined the association of Phenotypic Age Acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) with cancer incidence by genetic risk group among 374,463 participants from the UK Biobank. We generated PhenoAge using chronological age and nine biomarkers, PhenoAgeAccel after subtracting the effect of chronological age by regression residual, and an incidence-weighted overall cancer polygenic risk score (CPRS) based on 20 cancer site-specific polygenic risk scores (PRSs)., Results: Compared with biologically younger participants, those older had a significantly higher risk of overall cancer, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 1.22 (95% confidence interval, 1.18-1.27) in men, and 1.26 (1.22-1.31) in women, respectively. A joint effect of genetic risk and PhenoAgeAccel was observed on overall cancer risk, with HRs of 2.29 (2.10-2.51) for men and 1.94 (1.78-2.11) for women with high genetic risk and older PhenoAge compared with those with low genetic risk and younger PhenoAge. PhenoAgeAccel was negatively associated with the number of healthy lifestyle factors (Beta = -1.01 in men, p<0.001; Beta = -0.98 in women, p<0.001)., Conclusions: Within and across genetic risk groups, older PhenoAge was consistently related to an increased risk of incident cancer with adjustment for chronological age and the aging process could be retarded by adherence to a healthy lifestyle., Funding: This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (82230110, 82125033, 82388102 to GJ; 82273714 to MZ); and the Excellent Youth Foundation of Jiangsu Province (BK20220100 to MZ)., Competing Interests: LB, ZM, XF, CJ, TW, CY, JD, HM, ZH, HS, LW, MZ, GJ No competing interests declared, (© 2024, Bian, Ma et al.)

- Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been linked with site-specific upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancers during the past decades, but associations are still inconclusive. This study aimed to determine the association between T2D, glycaemic traits (random blood glucose and HbA1c) and UGI cancer (oesophageal and gastric cancer)., Methods: In the present study, based on the large-scale prospective cohort of UK Biobank, we included 452 631 eligible participants. T2D was defined according to baseline self-report data, clinical data and biochemistry data. Random blood glucose and HbA1c were measured at baseline. Polygenic risk score was used to classify individuals into different UGI cancer genetic risks. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate HRs and 95% CIs., Results: During a median follow-up of 10.26 years (IQR: 9.47-10.97), 1392 incident UGI cancer cases were identified. T2D was significantly associated with a 44% increment in UGI cancer risk (95% CI 1.22 to 1.70, p<0.001). Moreover, per SD increase in random blood glucose and HbA1c was associated with 7% (95% CI 1.03 to 1.12, p<0.001) and 6% (95% CI 1.04 to 1.09, p<0.001) increased hazards of developing UGI cancer, respectively. Patients with T2D at high genetic risk had a 2.33-fold hazard of UGI cancer (95% CI 1.66 to 3.28, p<0.001), compared with non-T2D individuals at low genetic risk., Conclusion: Our results indicate that T2D and elevated levels of glycaemic traits may be risk factors for incident UGI cancer. Individuals with a high genetic risk and T2D have a significantly increased risk of developing UGI cancer., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Background: A polygenic risk score (PRS) derived from 112 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for gastric cancer has been reported in Chinese populations (PRS-112). However, its performance in other populations is unknown. A functional PRS (fPRS) using functional SNPs (fSNPs) may improve the generalizability of the PRS across populations with distinct ethnicities., Methods: We performed functional annotations on SNPs in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the 112 previously reported SNPs to identify fSNPs that affect protein-coding or transcriptional regulation. Subsequently, we constructed an fPRS based on the fSNPs by using the LDpred2-infinitesimal model and then analyzed the performance of the PRS-112 and fPRS in the risk prediction of gastric cancer in 457,521 European participants of the UK Biobank cohort. Finally, the performance of the fPRS in combination with lifestyle factors were evaluated in predicting the risk of gastric cancer., Results: During 4,582,045 person-years of follow-up with a total of 623 incident gastric cancer cases, we found no significant association between the PRS-112 and gastric cancer risk in the European population (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.00 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93-1.09], P = 0.846). We identified 125 fSNPs, including seven deleterious protein-coding SNPs and 118 regulatory non-coding SNPs, and used them to construct the fPRS-125. Our result showed that the fPRS-125 was significantly associated with gastric cancer risk (HR = 1.11 [95% CI, 1.03-1.20], P = 0.009). Compared to participants with a low fPRS-125 (bottom quintile), those with a high fPRS-125 (top quintile) had a higher risk of incident gastric cancer (HR = 1.43 [95% CI, 1.12-1.84], P = 0.005). Moreover, we observed that participants with both an unfavorable lifestyle and a high genetic risk had the highest risk of incident gastric cancer (HR = 4.99 [95% CI, 1.55-16.10], P = 0.007) compared to those with both a favorable lifestyle and a low genetic risk., Conclusion: These results indicate that the fPRS-125 derived from fSNPs may act as an indicator to measure the genetic risk of gastric cancer in the European population., (Copyright © 2023 The Chinese Medical Association, produced by Wolters Kluwer, Inc. under the CC-BY-NC-ND license.)

- Abstract
Background: Cancers arising within the gastrointestinal tract are complex disorders involving genetic events that cause the conversion of normal tissue to premalignant lesions and malignancy. Shared genetic features are reported in epithelial-based gastrointestinal cancers which indicate common susceptibility among this group of malignancies. In addition, the contribution of rare variants may constitute parts of genetic susceptibility., Methods: A cross-cancer analysis of 38,171 shared rare genetic variants from genome-wide association assays was conducted, which included data from 3,194 cases and 1,455 controls across three cancer sites (esophageal, gastric and colorectal). The SNP-level association was performed by multivariate logistic regression analyses for single cancer, followed by association analysis for SubSETs (ASSET) to adjust the bias of overlapping controls. Gene-level analyses were conducted by SKAT-O, with multiple comparison adjustments by false discovery rate (FDR). Based on the significant genes indicated by SKATO analysis, pathways analysis was conducted using Gene Ontology (GO), the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Reactome databases., Results: Meta-analysis in three gastrointestinal (GI) cancers identified 13 novel susceptibility loci that reached genome-wide significance ( P
ASSET < 5×10-8 ). SKAT-O analysis revealed EXOC6, LRP5L and MIR1263/LINC01324 to be significant genes shared by GI cancers ( Padj <0.05, PFDR <0.05). Furthermore, GO pathway analysis identified significant enrichment of synaptic transmission and neuron development pathways shared by all three cancer types., Conclusion: Rare variants and the corresponding genes potentially contribute to shared susceptibility in different GI cancer types. The discovery of these novel variants and genes offers new insights for the carcinogenic mechanisms and missing heritability of GI cancers., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Zheng, Wang, Li, Wu, Chang, Xin, Wang, Wang, Wei, Wang and Zhang.)- Published

- Abstract
Delirium is a common postoperative complication in elderly hip fracture patients that seriously affects patients' lives and health, and early delirium risk prediction, and targeted measures can significantly reduce the incidence of delirium. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram for the prediction of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly hip fracture patients. A total of 328 elderly patients with hip fractures enrolled retrospectively in department 1 of our hospital were randomly divided into the training set ( n = 230) and the internal validation set ( n = 98). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used for feature variable selection, and multivariate logistic regression with a backward stepwise method was used to construct a nomogram in the training set. The discrimination efficacy and calibration efficacy of the nomogram were evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve, respectively. The clinical usefulness was estimated through decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve (CIC) analysis. Another validation set from department 2 of our hospital, containing 76 elderly patients with hip fractures, was used for external validation of the nomogram. A total of 43 (13.1%) and 12 (15.8%) patients had POD in department 1 and department 2, respectively. The nomogram was constructed by three predictors, including dementia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and albumin level. The nomogram showed good discrimination efficacy and calibration efficacy, with the AUC of 0.791 (95% CI, 0.708-0.873), 0.820 (95% CI, 0.676-0.964), and 0.841 (95% CI, 0.717-0.966) in the training set, the internal validation set, and the external validation set, respectively. Both DCA and CIC demonstrated that this nomogram has good clinical usefulness. The nomogram constructed by dementia, COPD, and albumin level can be conveniently used to predict POD in patients with elderly hip fractures., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Yang, Wang, Guo, Sun, Cao, Xu and Cai.)

- Abstract
Cancer site-specific polygenic risk scores (PRS) effectively identify individuals at high risk of individual cancers, but the effectiveness of PRS on overall cancer risk assessment and the extent to which a high genetic risk of overall cancer can be offset by a healthy lifestyle remain unclear. Here, we constructed an incidence-weighted overall cancer polygenic risk score (CPRS) based on 20 cancer site-specific PRSs. Lifestyle was determined according to smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, body mass index, and diet. Cox regression by sex was used to analyze associations of genetic and lifestyle factors with cancer incidence using UK Biobank data ( N = 442,501). Compared with participants at low genetic risk (bottom quintile of CPRS), those at intermediate (quintiles 2 to 4) or high (top quintile) genetic risk had HRs of 1.27 (95% confidence interval, 1.21-1.34) or 1.91 (1.81-2.02) for overall cancer, respectively, for men, and 1.21 (1.16-1.27) or 1.62 (1.54-1.71), respectively, for women. A joint effect of genetic and lifestyle factors on overall cancer risk was observed, with HRs reaching 2.99 (2.45-3.64) for men and 2.38 (2.05-2.76) for women with high genetic risk and unfavorable lifestyle compared with those with low genetic risk and favorable lifestyle. Among participants at high genetic risk, the standardized 5-year cancer incidence was significantly reduced from 7.23% to 5.51% for men and from 5.77% to 3.69% for women having a favorable lifestyle. In summary, individuals at high genetic risk of overall cancer can be identified by CPRS, and risk can be attenuated by adopting a healthy lifestyle. SIGNIFICANCE: A new indicator of cancer polygenic risk score measures genetic risk for overall cancer, which could identify individuals with high cancer risk to facilitate decision-making about lifestyle modifications for personalized prevention., (©2021 American Association for Cancer Research.)

- Abstract
Objective: Although a subset of genetic loci have been associated with gastric cancer (GC) risk, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. We aimed to identify new susceptibility genes and elucidate their mechanisms in GC development., Design: We conducted a meta-analysis of four genome-wide association studies (GWASs) encompassing 3771 cases and 5426 controls. After targeted sequencing and functional annotation, we performed in vitro and in vivo experiments to confirm the functions of genetic variants and candidate genes. Moreover, we selected 33 promising variants for two-stage replication in 7035 cases and 8323 controls from other five studies., Results: The meta-analysis of GWASs identified three loci at 1q22, 5p13.1 and 10q23.33 associated with GC risk at p<5×10
- 8 and replicated seven known loci at p<0.05. At 5p13.1, the risk rs59133000[C] allele enhanced the binding affinity of NF-κB1 (nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1) to the promoter of PRKAA1 , resulting in a reduced promoter activity and lower expression. The knockout of PRKAA1 promoted both GC cell proliferation and xenograft tumour growth in nude mice. At 10q23.33, the rs3781266[C] and rs3740365[T] risk alleles in complete linkage disequilibrium disrupted and created, respectively, the binding motifs of POU2F1 and PAX3, resulting in an increased enhancer activity and expression of NOC3L , while the NOC3L knockdown suppressed GC cell growth. Moreover, two new loci at 3q11.2 (OR=1.21, p=4.56×10- 9 ) and 4q28.1 (OR=1.14, p=3.33×10- 11 ) were associated with GC risk., Conclusion: We identified 12 loci to be associated with GC risk in Chinese populations and deciphered the mechanisms of PRKAA1 at 5p13.1 and NOC3L at 10q23.33 in gastric tumourigenesis., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2020.

- Abstract
Background: The association of plasma homocysteine level (PHL) with gastric cancer risk was reported in observational studies. However, the causality is challenging due to confounding factors and the lack of evidence from well-designed cohort studies. Herein, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate whether PHL is causally related to gastric cancer risk., Methods: We performed the MR analysis based on the results from genome-wide association studies consisting of 2,631 patients with gastric cancer and 4,373 controls. An externally weighted genetic risk score (wGRS) was constructed with 15 SNPs with well-established associations with PHL. We utilized logistic regression model to estimate associations of PHL-related SNPs and wGRS with gastric cancer risk in total population and in strata by sex, age, and study site, in addition to a series of sensitivity analyses., Results: High genetically predicted PHL was associated with an increased gastric cancer risk (per SD increase in the wGRS: OR = 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.12; P = 0.011), which was consistent in sensitivity analyses. Subgroup analyses provided evidence of a stronger association with gastric cancer risk in women than in men. MR-Egger and weighted median regression suggested that potentially unknown pleiotropic effects were not biasing the association between PHL and gastric cancer risk., Conclusions: These results revealed that genetically predicted high PHL was associated with an increased gastric cancer risk, suggesting that high PHL may have a causal role in the etiology of gastric cancer., Impact: These findings provide causal inference for PHL on gastric cancer risk, suggesting a causal role of high PHL in the etiology of gastric cancer., (©2019 American Association for Cancer Research.)

- Abstract
Recently promoter of NR3C1 has been found to be high methylated in gastric cancer tissues which might be involved in the initiation of gastric carcinoma development. To test whether the variants in NR3C1 could modify the risk of gastric cancer, we evaluated the association between four SNPs (rs6194, rs12521436, rs33388 and rs4912913) in NR3C1 and gastric cancer risk in a case-control study with 1,113 gastric cancer cases and 1,848 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population. We found a significant association between rs4912913 and gastric cancer risk (OR=1.18, 95%CI=1.05-1.33, P =5.49×10
-3 ). We also observed that the A-allele of rs12521436 and rs33388 were significantly associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer (OR=0.84, 95%CI=0.76-0.94, P =2.78×10-3 ; OR=0.85, 95%CI=0.75-0.97; P =0.018). Finally, we made a joint effect analysis of rs12521436, rs33388 and rs4912913 on risk of gastric cancer ( PTrend =2.83×10-5 ). These findings indicate that the variants rs4912913, rs33388 and rs12521436 of NR3C1 may contribute to gastric cancer susceptibility., Competing Interests: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The authors declare no competing interests.- Published

- Abstract
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a tumor suppressor protein, has been implicated in cell cycle and apoptosis. Additionally, studies have illustrated its crucial roles in transformation of normal human cells to tumorigenic status. PPP2CA, which encodes the alpha isoform of the catalytic subunit of PP2A, has been recently reported to be associated with several types of cancers. Therefore, we hypothesized that genetic variants in PPP2CA might influence susceptibility of gastric cancer. To test this hypothesis, three tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PPP2CA were genotyped in a case-control study including 1,113 cases and 1,848 controls in a Chinese population. Three tagging SNPs in PPP2CA were genotyped using Illumina Human Exome BeadChip. We observed that the A allele of rs13187105 was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-1.28, P = 0.017). Further analyses showed that rs13187105 [A] was associated with decreased expression of PPP2CA mRNA (P = 5.1 × 10
-6 ), and PPP2CA mRNA was significantly lower in gastric tumor tissues when comparing that in their adjacent normal tissues (P = 0.037). These findings support our hypothesis that genetic variants in PPP2CA may be implicated in gastric cancer susceptibility in Chinese population.- Published
