Phosphatase and Tensin Homologue Genetic Polymorphisms and their Interactions with Viral Mutations on the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract: Background:Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Some HBV mutants and dysregulation of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) may promote the development of HCC synergistically. We aimed to test the effects of PTEN genetic polymorphisms and their interactions with important HBV mutations on the development of HCC in HBV-infected subjects.Methods:Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was applied to genotype PTEN polymorphisms (rs1234220, rs2299939, rs123… Show more

“…PTEN gene includes a 32-bp deletion polymorphism (rs34421660) mapped on intron 2, but its function in human diseases is still unclear. A few studies have examined the correlation between the PTEN 32-bp deletion variant and liver-related diseases [3,10]. Ding et al [9] evaluated the association between this genetic variation and the risk for HCC in a Chinese population [9].…”

“…Previous studies have shown that the CA genotype of rs2299939 could reduce the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. It revealed the association of PTEN gene polymorphisms with liver cancer risk (Du et al, 2015;Li et al, 2015). Our group previously found that the PTEN gene CC genotype of rs2299939 was sensitive to radiotherapy in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (Wang et al, 2016).…”

“…Research suggests that PTEN has a variety of biological functions, for instance inhibiting angiogenesis, regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Thus, several studies have revealed a correlation between PTEN gene polymorphisms and various types of cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and breast cancer 5‐7 . To date, three studies have found that PTEN gene polymorphisms were associated with the overall survival and sensitivity to chemoradiotherapy of NSCLC 8‐10 .…”
