Abstract: | AIM To investigate the potential associations between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19/HOTAIR and the susceptibility to gastric carcinoma, especially to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC). METHODS Peripheral blood samples from 65 cases of EBV-negative gastric carcinoma (EBVnGC), 50 cases of EBVaGC and 115 cases of healthy people were collected. A total of 4 TagSNPs, H19 rs3024270 and rs3741219, as well as HOTAIR rs4759314 and rs874945, were selected. The Taq-Man MGB allele typing kit was used to detect the genotype of each SNP locus, and the experimental results were statistically analyzed. RESULTS (1) There were significant differences of both genotypic and allelic frequencies at H19 rs3024270 locus between gastric carcinoma group and control group (P<0.05). Individuals carrying the G allele at H19 rs3024270 locus had significantly low risk of gastric carcinoma (P<0.01), indicating that the G allele was protective. (2) People with the GG genotype at HOTAIR rs4759314 locus had significantly high risk of gastric carcinoma (P<0.05). Carrying the G allele increased the risk of gastric carcinoma, which indicated that the risk gene for gastric carcinoma might be the G allele. (3) No significant difference of the genotypic and allelic frequencies at H19 rs3741219 and HOTAIR rs874945 loci between gastric carcinoma group and control group was observed (P>0.05).(4) The G allele frequency at HOTAIR rs4759314 locus in EBVaGC group was significantly higher than that in EBVnGC group. However, no difference of the other 3 SNPs was found between EBVaGC group and EBVnGC group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The SNPs at H19 rs3024270 and HOTAIR rs4759314 loci are related to the risk of gastric carcinoma, but not significantly related to the risk of EBVaGC. |
