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) ...
Potentially functional variants of PLCE1 identified by GWASs contribute to gastric adenocarcinoma susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have found a single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP, rs2274223 A>G) in PLCE1 to be associated with risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.
In the present study, we validated ...
Polymorphisms in the mTOR gene and risk of sporadic prostate cancer in an Eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
BACKGROUND: The mTOR gene regulates cell growth by controlling mRNA translation, ribosome
biogenesis, autophagy, and metabolism. Abnormally increased expression of mTOR was
associated with carcinogenesis, and its functional ...
Pri-miR-124 rs531564 and pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphisms are associated with decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations.
(PloS one, 2014-01)
MicroRNAs are a new class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that sometimes function
as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Aberrant expression and structural alteration of
microRNAs have been reported to be involved in tumorigenesis ...
Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes and risk of primary prostate cancer in Chinese Han populations.
(Oncotarget, 2017-04)
Genetic variants of nucleotide excision repair (NER) genes have been extensively investigated
for their roles in the development of prostate cancer (PCa); however, the published
results have been inconsistent. In a hospital-based ...
