BACKGROUND/AIM: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) plays a critical role in the regulation of the extracellular matrix; however, its genotypes have seldom been examined in gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to investigate the contribution of MMP-2 promoter -1306 (rs243865) and -735 (rs2285053) genotypes to GC risk in a cohort of Taiwanese individuals.
This study included 121 GC cases and 363 age- and sex-matched controls. The genotypes of MMP-2 were determined by typical polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.
The genotypic and allelic frequency analysis showed that MMP-2 rs243865 variant genotypes decreased the risk of GC. Stratification analysis showed that MMP-2 rs243865 genotypes associate with smoking, alcohol drinking, and Helicobacter pylori infection status to confer personal susceptibility to GC. There is no such association for MMP-2 rs2285053 genotype with GC risk.
The MMP-2 rs243865 genotypes may serve as a novel predictive marker for GC personal susceptibility among Taiwanese.
背景/目的:基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)在细胞外基质的调节中起着关键作用;然而,其基因型在胃癌(GC)中很少被研究。本研究旨在调查 MMP-2 启动子-1306(rs243865)和-735(rs2285053)基因型对台湾个体 GC 风险的贡献。
本研究包括 121 例 GC 病例和 363 名年龄和性别匹配的对照。通过典型的聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性确定 MMP-2 的基因型。
基因型和等位基因频率分析表明,MMP-2 rs243865 变异基因型降低了 GC 的风险。分层分析表明,MMP-2 rs243865 基因型与吸烟、饮酒和幽门螺杆菌感染状况相关,赋予个体对 GC 的易感性。MMP-2 rs2285053 基因型与 GC 风险无相关性。
MMP-2 rs243865 基因型可能是台湾个体 GC 个体易感性的新型预测标志物。
