The relationships of genetic polymorphisms of the long noncoding RNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 with uterine cervical cancer.
The purposes of the investigation were to examine the implications of long noncoding RNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) in progression and clinicopathological factors of uterine cervical cancer, and patient survival in Taiwan. Genotypic distributions of two GAS5 genetic variants rs145204276 and rs55829688 were detected in 208 patients including 111 patients with invasive cancer, 97 with precancerous lesions as well as 307 control women using real-time polymerase chain reaction. It explored that patients with cervical precancerous lesion had lower rate of AGGCA deletion (Del) in both alleles (Del/Del) of GAS5 rs145204276 as compared with control women. Patients with invasive cancer did not exhibit higher rate of Del/Del. Meanwhile, there were no different genotypic distributions in rs55829688 among patients with cervical invasive cancer and those with precancerous lesions as well as control women. Moreover, cervical cancer patients with Ins (insertion, AGGCA)/Del and Del/Del (-/-) in GAS5 rs55829688 tended to have poorer hazard ratio (HR) of 5 years survival. In addition, lymph node metastasis status exerted the most significantly predictive of 5 years survival rate. Conclusively, GAS5 polymorphism rs145204276 is probably applicable to predict 5 years survival HR of cervical cancer patients. However, the mechanism elucidating the methylation status and transcription function of rs145204276 in uterine cervical cancer needs to be delineated for its unique implication in uterine cervical cancer.
