    Effect of HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism on breast cancer susceptibility and clinicopathologic features in a Turkish population
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2015) Bayram, Suleyman; Sumbul, Ahmet Taner; Batmaci, Celal Yucel; Genc, Ahmet
    Overexpression of Hox transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), is associated with cancer cell proliferation, invasion, progression, and metastasis as well as poor survival in a variety of human cancers including breast cancer (BC). A common functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs920778 (T -> aEuro parts per thousand C) in the intronic enhancer of the HOTAIR has been reported to influence HOTAIR expression and cancer predisposition, but the association of HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism with BC susceptibility and clinicopathological features has yet to be investigated. We genotyped HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism in 245 Turkish women including 123 BC patients and 122 age-matched healthy controls by a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the TaqMan assay. We found that the CC genotype of HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism significantly increased the risk of BC in both codominant (odds ratio (OR) = 2.12, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.00-4.51, P = 0.05) and recessive (OR = 2.40, 95 % CI 1.22-4.73, P = 0.01) inheritance genetic models. Our research also indicated an association between the CC genotype of HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism and clinicopathologic features of tumor, including advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, larger tumor size, distant metastasis, and poor histological grade (P < 0.05). Because our findings suggest for the first time that the CC genotype of HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism might play important roles in genetic susceptibility to BC development and aggressiveness in a Turkish population, further independent studies are required to validate our findings in a larger series, as well as in patients of different populations.

    A functional HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism does not contributes to gastric cancer in a Turkish population: a case-control study
    (Springer, 2015) Bayram, Suleyman; Ulger, Yakup; Sumbul, Ahmet Taner; Kaya, Berrin Yalinbas; Rencuzogullari, Ahmet; Genc, Ahmet; Sevgiler, Yusuf
    An aberrant up-regulation of HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), is associated with human cancers including gastric cancer (GC) and worse clinicopathological features. A naturally occurring functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs920,778 (C -> T) in the intronic enhancer of HOTAIR gene has been demonstrated to affect HOTAIR expression and cancer susceptibility. To investigate the association of the HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism on the risk of GC susceptibility in Turkish population, a hospital-based case-control study was carried out consisting of 104 GC and 209 healthy control subjects matched on age and gender. The genotype frequency of HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism was determined by using TaqMan Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction. No statistically significant differences were found in the allele or genotype distributions of the HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism among GC and healthy control subjects (P > 0.05). Our results demonstrate that the HOTAIR rs920778 polymorphism has not been in any major role in genetic susceptibility to gastric carcinogenesis, at least in the population studied here. Independent studies are needed to validate our findings in a larger series, as well as in patients of different ethnic origins.

    MicroRNA 211 expression is upregulated and associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer: a case-control study
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2015) Sumbul, Ahmet Taner; Gogebakan, Bulent; Bayram, Suleyman; Batmaci, Celal Yucel; Oztuzcu, Serdar
    Increasingly more evidence support the role of the microRNAs (miRNA) in tumorigenesis. The role of up/downregulation microRNA-211 (miR-211) during human tumorigenesis is still contentious and may exhibit tissue-specific regulatory manner, but the exhaustive mechanisms underlying its pro/anti-oncogenic effects remain to be unknown. Sixty-six patients that were diagnosed and operated with colorectal cancer (CRC) and sixty-five healthy cases that were age and sex compatible with them were included in our study. miRNA was isolated from the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues of all cases. The expression level of miR-211 in matched normal and tumor tissues of CRC group and healthy group was evaluated using a quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). Based on the average miR-211 levels, two groups of low or high expression were formed in CRC group. Correlation of the patients' clinicopathological factors and survival was also analyzed. No statistically significant differences were found in miR-211 levels among tumorous and normal tissues of CRC patient group (P = 0.59). Also, no statistically significant correlation was determined between clinicopathological factors and miR-211 expression level in CRC group. However, miR-211 expression levels between the CRC group and the healthy group were determined to be of statistical significance (P < 0.0001). There were 33 (50 %) CRC patients that expressed low levels of miR-211 and 33 (50 %) CRC patients that expressed high levels of miR-211. A median survival between low levels of miR-211 group and high levels of miR-211 group was evaluated via Kaplan-Meier, and the difference was of statistical significance (P = 0.035). The univariate analysis of the factors that may affect survival indicated invasion depth (P = 0.063), lymphovascular invasion (P = 0.011), perineural invasion (P = 0.009), and miR-211 expression level (P = 0.041) presence to be effective. In the multivariate analysis of these factors with overall survival, only miR-211 expression level (P = 0.01) was effective on overall survival. Our results suggest for the first time that miR-211 expressed more in CRC patients than in healthy group could be a new prognostic biomarker in order to predict survival. Independent studies are needed to validate our findings in a larger series, as well as in cancer of different tissues.
