Associations between polymorphisms of HOTAIR and risk of gastric cardia adenocarcinoma in a population of north China

Abstract: As an important long noncoding RNA, Hox transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) is involved in the development and progression of various carcinomas. However, the role and genetic alterations of HOTAIR in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) occurrence and progression have not been elucidated. We performed a case-control study in a population of north China to evaluate the possible association between haplotype-tagging SNPs (htSNPs) of the whole HOTAIR sequence and the risk of GCA as well as functional eff… Show more

“…Previous studies on the contribution of rs920778 to gastric cancer in a Turkish population [25] also showed no differences between patients and cancer-free controls; however, studies in other tumor types testing the importance of rs920778 or rs12826786 in the Chinese population have shown different allele frequencies between patients and cancer-free controls [22][23][24]. It was also showed previously that rs920778 variants do not influence gastric cancer susceptibility [25], whereas others have showed statistically significant associations between these SNPs and risk to develop gastric cardia adenocarcinoma [22], esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) [23], breast cancer [26][27][28] or gastric cancer [24]. Such discrepancies might be attributed to the different genetic backgrounds of the studied populations, different sample sizes, and/or to the variety of tumor types analyzed.…”

“…Indeed, the expression patterns, the regulatory mechanisms, and the functions of lncRNAs are highly tissue-specific [32]. Because SNPs differentially influence the regulation of lncRNAs [33], in particular the SNPs in this study [22][23][24], it is possible that these SNPs may present distinct relevance in the context of different tumor types. Since rs920778 and rs12826786 HOTAIR SNPs have been previously reported to be located in an intronic enhancer or in the promoter, respectively, we sought to understand if the different genotypes influence the expression levels of HOTAIR in glioma tissues.…”
