Epidemiological Evidence Between Variants in Matrix Metalloproteinases-2, -7, and -9 and Cancer Risk
Overview
Affiliations
Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (s), a kind of proteases, have a critical function in cancer occurrence, invasion, and migration. gene variants (e.g., , , and ) can affect the biological functions of these enzymes and lead to the occurrence and progression of cancer, which has become a hot topic in recent years, but the corresponding results are still controversial. In this context, here, the meta-analysis was conducted for assessing the relations of variants in , , and with the risk of various cancers.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Medline were systemically searched, and data were extracted from all eligible studies so as to investigate the susceptibility of , , and to different types of cancers. The association between a variant in and cancer susceptibility was analyzed through odds ratios (ORs) as well as 95% CIs. The Venice criteria and false-positive report probability (FPRP) were adopted to evaluate epidemiological evidence of significant associations discovered.
Results: The associations between the variants of s and cancer risk in 36,530 cases and 41,258 controls were found, with 12 associations ( rs243865 with esophageal cancer and lung cancer, rs11568818 with bladder and cervical cancer, and rs3918242 with breast cancer) rated as strong associations for cancer risk and 7 and 15 as moderate and weak associations, respectively. These significant associations were mostly found in Asians.
Conclusions: These findings support the relations between variants of , , and and various cancers risk, demonstrating the credibility of these relations.
