Associations of PI3KR1 and mTOR polymorphisms with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk and gene-environment interactions in Eastern Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2015-01)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
may contribute to carcinogenesis. We genotyped five potentially functional PIK3R1
and mTOR SNPs in 1116 esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) ...
Genetic variant of PRKAA1 and gastric cancer risk in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2015-12)
Published data on the association between PRKAA1 rs13361707 T > C polymorphism and
gastric cancer (GCa) susceptibility were inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation
of the association, we conducted a large-scale ...
Polymorphisms in the ERCC5 gene and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Eastern Chinese populations.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Excision repair cross complementing group 5 (ERCC5 or XPG) plays an important
role in regulating DNA excision repair; its functional single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) may alter DNA repair capacity and thus ...
Tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 8 polymorphism and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a Chinese population: a case-control study.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been reported to be associated with autoimmune
and pro-inflammatory response, and genetic polymorphisms of candidate genes involved
in autoimmune and pro-inflammatory response ...
Associations of potentially functional variants in IL-6, JAKs and STAT3 with gastric cancer risk in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-05)
The interleukin-6 (IL-6)/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway plays a central role in inflammation-mediated
cancers, including gastric cancer (GCa). We evaluated associations between 10 potentially
functional single nucleotide ...
Potentially functional polymorphisms in the ERCC2 gene and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2014-01)
ERCC2 is indispensable for nucleotide excision repair pathway, and its functional
polymorphisms may be associated with cancer risk. In a large case-control study of
1126 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) patients ...
Potentially functional polymorphisms in the CASP7 gene contribute to gastric adenocarcinoma susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
BACKGROUND: Caspase 7 (CASP7) is an important regulator and executioner in the apoptosis
pathway and plays a crucial role in cancer development and progression. However, few
studies have evaluated associations between functional ...
Polymorphisms in the AKT1 and AKT2 genes and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk in an Eastern Chinese population.
(Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2016-04)
Ethnic Han Chinese are at high risk of developing oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma
(ESCC). Aberrant activation of the AKT signalling pathway is involved in many cancers,
including ESCC. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
PSCA polymorphisms and gastric cancer susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-02)
The prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) gene, which encodes a prostate-specific antigen
(PSA), was identified as a gene involved in cell adhesion and proliferation. The associations
between the PSCA rs2294008 and rs2976392 ...
A Functional Polymorphism (rs2494752) in the AKT1 Promoter Region and Gastric Adenocarcinoma Risk in an Eastern Chinese Population.
(Scientific reports, 2016-01-28)
AKT is an important signal transduction protein that plays a crucial role in cancer
development. Therefore, we evaluated associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) in the AKT promoter region and gastric ...
