Abstract

Background: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) PVT1 has been identified to be related to risk of a variety of cancers, such as gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and follicular lymphoma. This study assesses the association between genetic polymorphisms of PVT1 and the susceptibility to lung cancer as well as gene-environmental interaction.

Method: A hospital-based case-control study, including 515 lung cancer patients and 582 healthy controls, was carried out in Shenyang, China. Unconditional logistic regression analyses calculated the odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the associations between polymorphisms of rs2608053, rs1561927, rs13254990 and susceptibility to lung cancer. The gene-environment interaction was evaluated by additive model and multiplicative model.

Results: There were no statistically significant associations between rs2608053 and rs1561927 polymorphisms in PVT1 and risk of lung cancer in the overall population. The relationship between polymorphism rs13254990 in PVT1 gene and lung adenocarcinoma was significant. Composed with individuals carrying CC genotypes, TT genotype carriers were more likely to develop lung adenocarcinoma (adjusted OR=2.095; 95%CI=1.084-4.047, P=0.028). In the recessive model, it also showed a statistically significant difference (TT vs CT+CC: adjusted OR=2.251, 95%CI=1.174-4.318, P=0.015). In nonsmokers, individuals carrying genotype CT had a lower risk of lung cancer than those with CC genotype (adjusted OR=0.673, 95%CI=0.472-0.959, P=0.028). Comparing with the homozygous CC, the patients with the heterozygous CT had a lower risk of NCSLC in the non-smoking group (adjusted OR =0.685, 95%CI=0.477-0.984, P=0.040). Additionally, gene-environment interaction results were not statistically significant in either additive model or multiplicative model.

Conclusion: The polymorphism rs13254990 in PVT1 gene is associated with the risk of lung adenocarcinoma in a Chinese northeast population.
