Abstract
Introduction
Worldwide, gastric cancer (GC) affects over a million individuals and leads to ~783,000 deaths each year, being the 5th most common type of cancer and the 3rd major cause of cancer-related deaths, in both sexes (1). Despite the existence of different patterns of acquisition (sporadic, familial or hereditary), the most widely accepted mechanism of gastric carcinogenesis describes the evolution from chronic atrophic gastritis into intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia and finally, the occurrence of sporadic GC (2,3). Other risk factors, such as Helicobacter pylori, a high level of salt intake and genetic polymorphisms in pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine coding genes, have been considered to have a significant impact, and the interaction between these factors may be crucial for development of cancer (4-6).
TP53 is the most commonly mutated gene in numerous types of cancer; it encodes one of the most important tumor suppressors proteins, p53, which impacts multiple pathways of carcinogenesis, not only due to mutations, but also by the de-regulation of p53 pathways (7,8). The murine double minute 2 (MDM2) gene encodes for mdm2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, that acts as the major p53 negative regulator implicated in several types of cancer (9,10). Under physiological conditions, mdm2 binds to the p53 transactivation domain, leading to the inhibition of its transcriptional activities, followed by the promotion of proteasomal degradation and p53 export from the nucleus, inactivating its functions (11). Some studies have shown that MDM2 amplification occurs in GC, with an expected impact on p53 pathways (12,13). Furthermore, similar to what has been described for other types of cancer (14-19), MDM2 polymorphisms that can lead to differential protein activity may have an impact on GC susceptibility (20-23).
The aim of the present study was to summarize the studies that analyzed MDM2 polymorphisms and their associations with the risk of GC development by performing a systematic review of published manuscripts.
Materials and methods
Literature search and study selection
A systematic review of the literature was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (24). The literature search was performed using PubMed and Scopus on 18th October 2019 (and revised on 31st July 2020) using the following key words combination: ‘gastric cancer AND polymorphism AND MDM2’. Different combinations of words and MESH terms were tested and the selected query was the most representative. The literature search was performed independently by two of the authors without any restrictions on time, sample size or population studied.
Studies were included if they met the following inclusion criteria: i) Assessment of any MDM2 polymorphism and risk of GC; ii) case-controlled design, and iii) genotype frequencies for both cases and controls were provided. Studies were excluded if i) they were published in any language other than English; ii) duplicated data; iii) they used another study design rather than case-control (reports of clinical cases, comments, series, reviews and editorials); and iv) if insufficient data was provided or the data was not available. Review studies were checked for their references for other relevant studies. Articles which included ≥2 case-control tests or ≥2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were regarded as two or more different studies. Case-control studies were the only selected type to be included as they provide the necessary data for meta-analysis considering the association with GC risk. The reference lists of the selected studies and prior systematic reviews/meta-analysis was also reviewed and compared with our list of included studies.
Data extraction
According to the PRISMA guidelines, each step was performed independently by two investigators and discrepancies were decided by a third investigator. Briefly, manuscripts were first screened by analyzing titles and abstracts, based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Full texts were then reviewed and data extracted (first author, year of publication, original country, the ethnicity of the population studied, genotyping method, histological GC, numbers for cases and controls of all genotypes). All studies were assessed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of genotypes distribution and a qualitative analysis was performed based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and considering important information for case-controlled studies (Table SI) (25). All articles with a NOS scale score ≥8 were considered high-quality studies.
Statistical analysis
The collected data were analyzed using Review Manager version 5.3 (The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration) to assess the association between the different genotypes and GC risk, by calculating the odds ratios (OR) and the confidence intervals (CI) with P<0.05. Funnel and forest plots were created to summarize the differences in the studies and their significance, considering the relative weight of each study, according to the random effects model.
Results
Characteristics of the included studies
A flow diagram of study selection is presented in Fig. 1. The literature search in PubMed and Scopus provided a total of 63 manuscripts, of which 24 were duplicated between databases. All abstracts from the remaining 39 manuscripts were reviewed, and 25 were excluded for the following reasons: Not GC (n=6), not MDM2 (n=3), no MDM2 polymorphism analysis (n=4), reviews (n=5) and meta-analysis (n=7). A total of 14 manuscripts were assessed for full-review, of which three were excluded: One manuscript was not available, one had a duplicated population of another published study and one was not a case-controlled study. After the revision process, a total of 11 articles were used for data analysis (21,23,26-34). Amongst the included studies, 10 studies were performed in Asian populations and one in a Brazilian population.
Regarding the SNPs studied in association with GC, 1 study analyzed rs937283, 1 analyzed rs3730485 and 9 studies analyzed the rs2279744 polymorphism. Both rs937283 and rs3730485 reports showed an association with GC, nevertheless there was only one study of each in the literature, thus no further analysis was performed. Regarding rs2279744, a total of 3,003 cases of GC and 3,676 controls were included in the present meta-analysis. The genotyping information of the included studies is described in Table I and the population demographics of each study are presented in Table II. Amongst rs2279744, the genotype distributions in the controls of 4 studies (23,28,29,31) were not consistent with the HWE (P<0.050); and regarding the quality analysis, one study was considered of ‘low quality’ (QA score <8; Table I and SII).
Meta-analysis
Of the three SNPs described in the different studies, only rs2279744 was the subject of more than one study with genotyping data. Data analysis was performed considering the G allele as the risk allele in different genetic models: i) the dominant model (GG + TG vs. TT), and ii) the recessive model (GG vs. TT + TG) (35). Meta-analysis was performed only with studies with a QA score ≥8. In the funnel plot analysis, three studies deviated from the expected outcomes either in the dominant or recessive model analysis (P<0.05; Fig. 2). The studies which showed deviation from the expected outcomes, according to both genetic models, were Elingarami et al (21) and Moradi et al (29), as well as also Ohmiya et al (23) in the dominant model, which may indicate publication bias. For this reason, they were eliminated from the respective genetic model of the meta-analysis.
As shown in the forest plots (Figs. 3 and 4), the results of analysis of the dominant model showed that GG + GT were significantly associated with increased GC risk compared with the TT genotype (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.21-1.75; P<0.001). The combined analysis for the recessive model also showed an increased risk of GC development for the GG genotype (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.45-1.87; P<0.001).
Discussion
Dysregulated MDM2 expression has been shown to associated with several types of cancer due to its p53 regulatory functions (9). Under increased exposure to stress, p53 expression increases promoting transcriptional activity that leads to cell cycle arrest, repair and/or apoptosis (11). This increased p53 expression leads to increased mdm2 protein expression since the MDM2 P2 promoter is p53-dependent, establishing an autoregulatory feedback loop (19). Indeed, MDM2 is considered an oncogene because of its p53 inhibition function (19). Under physiological conditions, mdm2 E3 ubiquitin ligase domain binds the p53 transactivation domain, leading to the inhibition of the transcriptional activity of p53, followed by an increase in proteasomal degradation and ended by the export of p53 from the cell nucleus, which is crucial for the repression of p53 suppressor function (11). In addition to p53 regulation, MDM2 also serves an oncogenic function by interfering with the functions of other proteins that participate in several pathways, including DNA repair, apoptosis, motility and invasion (19). Studies have shown that MDM2 amplification has been detected in several types of cancer, including GC (10,19). In GC, MDM2 has been shown to be amplified (12) and overexpressed in GC tissues (36,37), and this has also been associated with a higher grade of tumor differentiation, deeper invasion and nodal and distant metastasis (37).
Previous studies have shown an association between MDM2 and GC (7,12). Considering the impact that some genetic polymorphisms have on the risk of developing GC, a systematic review was performed to clarify the associations between MDM2 polymorphisms and GC. The NCBI SNP database contains a total of 9,642 MDM2 polymorphisms; however, only a few have been studied for their potential functional role in cancer. In the present study, only three different MDM2 polymorphisms (rs937283, rs3730485 and rs2279744) that have been studied in association with GC development were found. The previous studies on the rs2279744 and rs937283 polymorphisms suggested that they may affect expression of MDM2, leading to higher degradation of p53 and consequently to the loss of the primary tumor suppressor pathways and therefore increase the risk of developing cancer.
The rs937283 polymorphism is characterized by an A to G change in the nucleotide at position 2,164 of the MDM2 promoter region, and this seems to lead to an increase in mdm2 expression (26,38). This SNP was studied by Chen et al (26), and they concluded that it significantly increased the risk of developing GC in the Chinese population. In their study, the G allele was associated with an increased risk of developing GC either when G carriers vs. AA (OR, 1.34; P=0.024), and despite not being statistically significant, an association was observed for GG vs. A carriers (OR, 1.87; P=0.061). This SNP has been described to significantly enhance the transcriptional activity of the MDM2 gene increasing the mRNA and protein levels, and additionally, this polymorphism has been studied in other types of cancer, such as lung cancer (26), liver cancer (39) and retinoblastoma (40), with similar effects reported.
The rs3730485 polymorphism, a 40 bp deletion in the P1 promoter of MDM2, was studied by Cavalcante et al (27) in a Brazilian population, where it was shown to exert a protective effect against the development of GC, and is associated with an homozygous insertion of 40-bp (OR, 0.41; P=0.021). It has been suggested that the insertion of this 40-bp insert may reduce the activity of MDM2 and increase the availability of p53 in the cells reducing the chances of developing cancer. This polymorphism has been differentially associated with several types of cancer, including breast (41,42), prostate (42), ovarian (43) and hepatocellular carcinoma (44). Furthermore, it has been suggested that this SNP is in linkage disequilibrium with SNP 309, and therefore its impact may also be dependent on the SNP 309 genotype (18,43).
The rs2279744, also known as SNP 309, is the most studied MDM2 polymorphism and it is characterized by a T to G change in the nucleotide at position 309 of the P2 promoter of MDM2. This genotype change seems to increase the affinity of the SP1 transcription factor, thus increasing mdm2 expression, and subsequently leading to increased inhibition of p53-dependent pathways (45). This polymorphism has been associated with several types of cancer, such as bladder (46), endometrial (47), cervical (48), hepatocellular (44) and colorectal cancer (14,49), amongst other types of cancer. The literature review identified a total of 9 individual relevant case-controlled studies on the MDM2 rs2279744 polymorphism and GC risk. Of note, all studies were performed in Asian populations, most of them Chinese, which is expected, taking into account that these populations have the highest incidence rates of GC (50). Of the studies, 4 were not consistent with HWE (23,28,29,31) and the funnel plots revealed that some of these studies may have bias that may be affecting their results. Nevertheless, the analysis revealed a significant association between the SNP 309 G allele and increased risk of GC development, particularly in the homozygous model, in accordance with published studies (23,28,30-32,34). Of the previously published meta-analyses regarding MDM2 SNPs and GC, all of them focused on SNP 309, 4 of which (with a range of 5-11 included manuscripts) showed that the SNP 309 G allele is associated with an increased risk of GC (51-54); 1 meta-analysis (which included 6 studies), showed the opposite association, but only the recessive model was analyzed (55); and the remaining 2 meta-analyses were not specific to GC; nevertheless they show an association between SNP 309 and cancer, overall (45,56).
The present study has some limitations. First, regarding the genotyping methods, 1 study was performed using quantitative PCR (31), whereas the other five were performed using PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (23,28,30,32,34). The different methods of genotyping may impact the quality of the genotyped data, since the specificity and sensitivity are variable and therefore, some variation in the genotype distribution is possible. Another source of limitations is the fact that the majority of studies are from the Chinese population, and the outcomes may not be applicable to individuals of other ethnicities. Nevertheless, China has a higher incidence of GC, which may explain the extra interest for studies of this nature, and may help to predict the potential impact in other areas at high-risk of GC (1). The low number of studies, some of which had a smaller number of cases may also impact the quality of the data analyzed. Indeed, qualitative analysis of studies should be performed once there is more significant data. Another issue is the importance of considering the role of mdm2 in the molecular mechanisms underlying gastric carcinogenesis, and the lack of information regarding its expression in precursor lesions.
Numerous studies have shown the roles of genetic polymorphisms of several genes in almost every aspect of cancer, with a potential impact on the clinical outcomes. Several MDM2 polymorphisms have been studied, and some of these appear to affect protein expression, and therefore MDM2 variants may have an impact on the treatment response when treated with MDM2 inhibitors, particularly in cases of cancer with a low frequency of p53 mutations (57-59). The present study revealed that three different MDM2 genetic polymorphisms (rs937282, rs3730485 and rs2279744) have been studied for their association with the development of GC. The present study showed that these three MDM2 polymorphisms were associated with GC development, particularly rs2279744 (SNP 309), which was significantly associated with GC development. The fact that the number of studies is low and the studied populations are primarily Asian emphasizes the need for more studies in other populations to corroborate the association of these polymorphisms with GC.
