Abstract
Background:Helicobacter pylori (Hp) persistent infection is an important pathogenic factor for a series of chronic gastric diseases from chronic gastritis to gastric cancer. Genetic and epigenetic abnormalities of microRNAs may play a vital role in the pathological evolution of gastric mucosa in Helicobacter pylori-related gastric diseases (HPGD). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between miR-146a, miR-196a2, miR-149, miR-499 and miR-27a gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their expressions with pathological changes in gastric mucosa, and to further analyze the interactions between SNPs and Hp.Methods: Subjects in this study included patients diagnosed with HPGD and healthy controls. MiR-146a rs2910164, miR-196a2 rs11614913, miR-149 rs2292832, miR-499 rs3746444 and miR-27a rs895819 were genotyped by direct sequencing. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect microRNA expressions. Gene-gene and gene-environment interactions were evaluated by multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method.Results: we found that frequency distribution of miR-196a2 rs11614913 CT genotype in gastric precancerous lesion (GPL) group and gastric cancer (GC) group was significantly higher than normal control (NOR) group [adjusted OR = 6.16, 95%CI (1.46–26.03); adjusted OR = 11.83, 95%CI (1.65–84.72), respectively]. CT genotype and C allele of miR-27a rs895819 were associated with increased risk of GC [adjusted OR = 10.14, 95%CI (2.25–45.77); adjusted OR = 3.71, 95%CI(1.46–9.44), respectively]. The MDR analysis results showed that the interaction between miR-196a2 rs11614913 and Hp was associated with the risk of GPL (p = 0.004). Meanwhile, the expression level of miR-196a2 in GC group was significantly higher than NOR, chronic inflammation (CI) and early precancerous lesion (EPL) groups among Hp-positive subjects. And expressions of miR-499 and miR-27a in GC group were both higher than EPL group. Also, miR-27a expression in GC group was higher than CI and gastric atrophy (GA) groups.Conclusion: miR-196a2 rs11614913 and miR-27a rs895819 may affect the genetic susceptibility to GPL or GC. MiR-196a2 rs11614913 and Hp have a synergistic effect in the occurrence and development of GPL. The up-regulation of miR-499, miR-196a2 and miR-27a expression caused by Hp infection may be an important mechanism of gastric carcinogenesis.
