A pri-miR-218 variant and risk of cervical carcinoma in Chinese women.
(BMC cancer, 2013-01-15)
BACKGROUND: MicroRNA (miRNA)-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may compromise
miRNA binding affinity and modify mRNA expression levels of the target genes, thus
leading to cancer susceptibility. However, few ...
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 ...
Genetic variants in the platelet-derived growth factor subunit B gene associated with pancreatic cancer risk.
(International journal of cancer, 2018-04)
The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway plays important roles
in development and progression of human cancers. In our study, we aimed to identify
genetic variants of the PDGF pathway genes associated ...
Associations between expression levels of nucleotide excision repair proteins in lymphoblastoid cells and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(Molecular carcinogenesis, 2018-06)
Squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN) is one of the most common malignancies
worldwide, and nucleotide excision repair (NER) is involved in SCCHN susceptibility.
In this analysis of 349 newly diagnosed SCCHN patients ...
On the interplay of telomeres, nevi and the risk of melanoma.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
The relationship between telomeres, nevi and melanoma is complex. Shorter telomeres
have been found to be associated with many cancers and with number of nevi, a known
risk factor for melanoma. However, shorter telomeres ...
TNF rs1799964 as a Predictive Factor of Acute Toxicities in Chinese Rectal Cancer Patients Treated With Chemoradiotherapy.
(Medicine, 2015-11)
Acute toxicity is the main dose-limiting factor in the chemoradiotherapy of rectal
cancer patients and depends on several pro-inflammatory factors, including interleukin-1
(IL-1), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). ...
Genetic variants of genes in the Notch signaling pathway predict overall survival of non-small cell lung cancer patients in the PLCO study.
(Oncotarget, 2016-09)
The Notch signaling pathway has been shown to have biological significance and therapeutic
application in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We hypothesize that genetic variants
of genes in the Notch signaling pathway are ...
Genetic variant of IRAK2 in the toll-like receptor signaling pathway and survival of non-small cell lung cancer.
(International journal of cancer, 2018-11)
The toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway plays an important role in the innate
immune responses and antigen-specific acquired immunity. Aberrant activation of the
TLR pathway has a significant impact on carcinogenesis ...
Genetic variant rs4072037 of MUC1 and gastric cancer risk in an Eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-03)
Published data on the association between the MUC1 rs4072037A > G polymorphism and
gastric cancer (GCa) risk were inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of
the association, we conducted a large GCa study of 1,124 ...
TGFβ1 Polymorphisms Predict Distant Metastasis-Free Survival in Patients with Inoperable Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer after Definitive Radiotherapy.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
Transforming growth factor (TGF) -β1 signaling is involved in cancer-cell metastasis.
We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at TGFβ1 were associated
with overall survival (OS) and distant metastasis-free ...
