  1. Susceptibility Markers

  2. Susceptibility Markers • Susceptibility markers represent a group of biological markers, which may make an individual susceptible to cancer. • These markers may be genetically inherited or determined or acquired. • They are independent of environmental exposures.

  3. Biomarker of Genetic Susceptibility • High risk genes • Low risk genes

  4. Mutations with strong influence on risk • Variations with weak functional effect • Low to high frequency in the population (1-50%) • Rare in the population (<1%) • Results in familial clustering • Limited familial clustering • Can be studied in families • Can be studied in populations • e.g. BRCA germline mutations Genetic Susceptibility to Cancer 010205

  5. Frequency Distribution of Breast Cancer Hereditary Familial 10% 20% 70% Unexplained by Family History or Inherited Predisposition

  6. BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutations in the Ashkenazi Jewish Population An estimated 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jews carries a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation BRCA1 185delAG Prevalence = ~1% 5382insC Prevalence = ~0.15% BRCA2 6174delT Prevalence = ~1.5%

  7. Other genes(16%) BRCA1 (52%) 7-10% Hereditary Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer BRCA2 (32%) Predisposing factor in 15-45% of hereditary breast cancer Sporadic Am J Hum Genet 1998; 62:676-89

  11. Susceptibility Markers: Metabolic Genes • Tumor susceptibility markers such as P450s, GSTs, and NATs, act in enzymatic pathways related to metabolizing and eliminating carcinogens.

  12. Phase I Enzymes The phase I enzymes such as p450 enzyme superfamily metabolize exogenous or endogenous agents or carcinogens to intermediates, which can result in DNA damages and act as risk factors for cancer.

  13. Phase I Genes • The phase I genes encode detoxifying enzymes that recognize a large variety of substrates. • Many drugs, poisons, and other exogenous chemicals, as well as a number of natural endogenous compounds are metabolized by these enzymes.

  14. Phase II Genes • The major function is to detoxify carcinogens • Including GSTs, NATs

  18. DNA Repair Genes

  19. Polymorphism of DNA repair genes • DNA repair system maintains the intergrity of the genome by: • Reducing the mutation frequency of cancer-related genes, • minimizing replication errors, • removing DNA damage • Minimizing deleterious rearrangement arising via aberrant recombination • Four pathways for repairing DNA damage • Base excision repair (BER) • Excision of a damaged region  fill-in repair synthesis using opposite strand as template • Nucleotide excisions repair (NER) • Remove photoproducts from UV radiation and bulky adducts • Recombination repair • When both strands are damaged  acts on double-strand breaks and inter-strand links • Mismatch repair • On base mismatches that arise during replication by misincoporation or slippage on the template strand

  20. DNA Repair Genetic Variation in Repair Genes ? DNA Repair Capacity ORs 1.4-75.3 Cancer Occurrence

  21. Base Excision Repair hOGG1 LIG1

  22. hOGG1 • Often deleted in a variety of cancers • Somatically mutated in some cancer cells • Ser326Cys, exon 7: highly polymorphic • 0.2 Caucasian—0.4-0.6 Chinese • Ser326 protein 7-fold greater repair activity • ORs: Lung 2.2-3.4, Orolaryngeal 4.1-6.9

  23. LIG1 • Encodes DNA ligase I, a DNA joining enzyme • Participates in BER, NER, MMR, and HRR • Exon 6, codon 170 polymorphism • 0.5 allele frequency in Caucasians • No studies in esophageal, stomach, liver cancers • No studies in Chinese

  24. Nucleotide Excision Repair • Removes bulky adducts caused by environmental agents • UV radiation • Chemical carcinogens

  25. XPD/ERCC2 ERCC1 LIG1

  26. XPD/ERCC2 • Involved in DNA unwinding during NER • Helps repair genetic damage induced by tobacco and other carcinogens • Exon 10, codon 312 • Exon 23, codon 751 • Most studies of both polymorphisms have been done in lung cancer (most ORs 1.5-3.5)

  27. Homologous Recombinational Repair • One mechanism for repairing double-strand breaks in DNA • Accurately replaces sequence informationby physically exchanging a segment from an homologous intact DNA molecule

  31. Polymorphism of DNA repair genes • DNA repair system maintains the intergrity of the genome by: • Reducing the mutation frequency of cancer-related genes, • minimizing replication errors, • removing DNA damage • Minimizing deleterious rearrangement arising via aberrant recombination • Four pathways for repairing DNA damage • Base excision repair (BER) • Excision of a damaged region  fill-in repair synthesis using opposite strand as template • Nucleotide excisions repair (NER) • Remove photoproducts from UV radiation and bulky adducts • Recombination repair • When both strands are damaged  acts on double-strand breaks and inter-strand links • Mismatch repair • On base mismatches that arise during replication by misincoporation or slippage on the template strand

  37. Stomach Cancer Study

  38. Adjusted Odds Ratios of Selected Metabolic and Cell-Cycle Genes for Stomach Cancer

  39. Polymorphism of Susceptibility Genes: Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) • MTHFR gene deals with folate metabolism. • Folate metabolism may play an important role in carcinogenesis through its involvement in both DNA methylation and nucleotide synthesis • A common Ala(222)/Val variant in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene leads to a disturbed folate metabolism and is associated with decreased genomic DNA methylation. • Heijmans et al. Cancer Res. 2003 Mar 15;63(6):1249-53

  40. Effects of MTHFR and Green Tea Drinking on the Risk of Stomach Cancer 2.94 (1.3-6.6) 1.48 (0.6-3.5) 2.27 (1.0-4.9) MTHFR CC CT/TT CC CT/TT Green tea Drinker Drinker Non-Drinker Non-Drinker OR for interaction: 0.88 ( 0.3-2.3)

  41. 2-3 Results. Gene-Gene interactions • APEX is involved in the restoration phase of BER: it removes the abasic site after DNA cleavage by OGG1 • Small number • Biologically plausible

  43. 2-3. Results: Multigenetic analyses for all genes, and genes with suggestive evidence of effect All genes trend p=0.01 Genes with suggestive effectstrend p=0.02 • (Genes with suggestive effects: NQO1 Pro187Ser, XRCC1 Arg194Trp, OGG1 Ser326Cys, CCND1 G870A) • Suggests that genetic susceptibility depends on multiple loci • Considering variants in different pathways might give a more complete picture of carcinogenesis
