Association of Interleukin-10 -1082A>G (rs1800896) Polymorphism with Predisposition to Breast Cancer: a Meta-Analysis based on 17 Case-Control Studies

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The association between the between IL-10 -1082A>G (rs1800896) polymorphism and breast cancer has been evaluated by several number case-control studies. However, these studies might be underpowered to reveal the true association. OBJECTIVE We have performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to investigate the association IL-10 -1082A>G polymorphism and breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science up to September 20, 2017. Data was analysed with CMA software to identify the strength of the association by pooled odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 17 case-control studies involving 3275 cases and 3416 controls obtained from database searches were examined. Overall, there was no significant association between IL-10 -1082A>G polymorphism and breast cancer risk under all genetic models. No significant publication bias was found for the five genetic models (G vs. A OR = 1.184, 95% CI = 0.895-1.180, p= 0.230; GG vs. AA: OR = 1.430, 95% CI = 0.927-2.204, p= 0.106; GA vs. AA: OR = 0.966, 95% CI = 0.765-1.221, p= 0.774; GG+GA vs. AA: OR = 0.957, 95% CI = 0.697-1.314, p= 0.786; and GG vs. GA+AA: OR = 1.221, 95% CI = 0.981-1.518, p= 0.073). Moreover, there was no significant association between the IL-10 -1082A>G polymorphism and breast cancer risk by ethnicity. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that IL-10 -1082A>G (rs1800896) polymorphism might not be a risk factor for the development of breast cancer.

RESUMO

Associação de interleucina-10-1082A/polimorfismo G (rs1800896) com suscetibilidade a câncer gástrico: meta-análise de 6. 101 casos e 8. 557 controles / Association of interleukin-10 -1082 a/g (rs1800896) polymorphism with susceptibility to gastric cancer: meta-analysis of 6, 101 cases and 8, 557 controls

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The promoter -1082 A/G (rs1800896) polymorphism of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene have been widely reported and considered to have a significant role on gastric cancer risk, but the results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the association, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the associations IL-10 -1082 A/G polymorphism with gastric cancer. METHODS: Eligible articles were identified by searching databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar up to August 03, 2017. Odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the association. RESULTS: A total of 30 case-control studies with 6,101 cases and 8,557 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, a significant association between IL-10 -1082 A/G polymorphism and gastric cancer risk was observed under the allele model (G vs A: OR=1.305, 95% CI=1.076-1.584; P=0.007), heterozygote model and (GA vs AA: OR=1.252, 95% CI=1.252-1.054; P=0.011) and dominant model (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.264, 95% CI=1.053-1.516; P=0.012). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, increased gastric cancer risk were found in Asians under the allele model (G vs A: OR=1.520, 95% CI=1.172-1.973; P=0.002), homozygote model (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.571, 95% CI=1.023-2.414; P= 0.039), heterozygote model (GA vs AA: OR=1.465, 95% CI=1.192-1.801; P≤0.001) and dominant model (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.448, 95% CI=1.152-1.821; P=0.002), but not among Caucasian and Latinos populations. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that the IL-10 -1082 A/G (rs1800896) polymorphism might contribute to the gastric cancer susceptibility, especially among Asians.

RESUMO CONTEXTO: O promotor-1082 A/polimorfismo G (rs1800896) do gene da interleucina-10 (IL-10) é amplamente relatado e considerado por ter um papel significativo no risco de câncer gástrico, porém os resultados são inconsistentes. OBJETIVO: Para esclarecer melhor esta associação, realizou-se uma meta-análise para investigar as associações de IL-10-1082 A/polimorfismo G com câncer gástrico. MÉTODOS: Artigos elegíveis foram identificados através de pesquisa de bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science e Google Scholar até 3 de agosto de 2017. Razões de possibilidades (OR) com intervalo de confiança de 95% correspondente (CIs) foram usados para avaliar a associação. RESULTADOS: Um total de 30 estudos de caso-controle, 6.101 casos e com 8.557 controles foram incluídos nesta meta-análise. Em geral, uma associação significativa entre IL-10-1082 A/G polimorfismo e risco de câncer gástrico foi observada sob o modelo de alelo (G vs A: OR=1.305, 95% CI=1.076-1.584; P=0.007), no modelo heterozigoto (GA vs AA: OR=1.252, 95% CI=1.252-1.054; P=0.011) e modelo dominante (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.264, 95% CI=1.053-1.516; P=0.012). Na análise de subgrupo pela etnia, foi encontrado risco aumentado de câncer gástrico em asiáticos sob o modelo de alelo (G vs A: OR=1.520, 95% CI=1.172-1.973; P=0.002), modelo heterozigoto (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.571, 95% CI=1.023-2.414; P= 0.039), e modelo dominante (GG+GA vs AA: OR=1.448, 95% CI=1.152-1.821; P=0.002), mas não entre a população caucasiana e latina. CONCLUSÃO: Estes resultados sugeriram que a IL-10-1082 A/polimorfismo G (rs1800896) pode contribuir para a suscetibilidade de câncer gástrico, especialmente entre os asiáticos.
