Resumo
O câncer colorretal (CCR) é um dos modelos da associação inflamação-câncer. Assim, polimorfismos em genes que desempenham um papel importante na suscetibilidade a doenças inflamatórias, como os receptores Toll-like (TLR2 e TLR4), podem ser alvos interessantes para estudos de possíveis marcadores moleculares para CCR. Objetivos: Avaliar a associação dos polimorfismos TLR2 -196 a -174del, TLR4 -1607 T/C (rs10759932) e TLR4 +896 A/G (rs4986790), e de fatores de risco (gênero, idade, tabagismo e etilismo) com o desenvolvimento de CCR; assim como determinar os níveis de expressão relativa desses genes no tecido tumoral e a influência dos polimorfismos funcionais sobre os níveis de expressão do RNAm. Materiais e Métodos: Foram genotipadas 434 amostras (194 de pacientes com CCR e 240 de indivíduos saudáveis) de DNA de leucócitos de sangue periférico ou de células de tecido tumoral (DNA e RNA), por meio das técnicas de PCR alelo-específico e PCR-RFLP. A análise de regressão logística múltipla foi utilizada para avaliar a associação dos polimorfismos com risco de CCR, aplicando os modelos log-aditivo, dominante e recessivo, ajustados para os fatores de risco. Para a quantificação relativa (RQ) do RNAm foi utilizada a técnica de PCR quantitativa em tempo real (qPCR) em 40 amostras de tecido tumoral. Resultados: A variante polimórfica TLR2 -196 a -174del foi associada com risco aumentado de desenvolvimento de CCR de acordo com os modelos dominante (OR=1,72, IC95%=1,03-2,89; p=0,038) e log-aditivo (OR=1,59, IC95%=1,02-2,48; p=0,039), porém para os polimorfismos TLR4 -1607 T/C e TLR4 +896 A/G não foi encontrada associação. Idade acima de 60 anos (OR=1,83, IC95%=1,26-2,90; p=0,003) e hábito etilista (OR=2,78, IC95%=1,68-4,60; p=0,000) também estão associados com risco...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the models of inflammation-cancer association. Thus, polymorphisms in genes that play a role in susceptibility to inflammatory diseases, such as Toll-like receptors (TLR2 and TLR4) may be interesting targets for studies of potential molecular markers for CRC. Objectives: To evaluate the association of polymorphisms TLR2 -196 to -174del, TLR4 -1607 T/C (rs10759932) and TLR4 +896 A/G (rs4986790) and risk factors (gender, age, smoking and drinking habits) with CRC development, as well as to determine the relative expression levels of these genes in tumor tissue and influence of functional polymorphisms on the levels of mRNA expression. Materials and Methods: We genotyped 434 samples (194 patients with CRC and 240 from healthy individuals) of DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes or tumor tissue cells (DNA and RNA), by PCR allele-specific or PCR -RFLP. The multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between the polymorphisms with risk of CRC, applying the log-additive, dominant and recessive models, adjusted for risk factors. The relative quantification (RQ) of the mRNA was performed by the real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) technique in 40 tumor tissue samples. Results: The polymorphic variant TLR2 -196 to -174del was associated with increased risk of developing CRC according to both dominant (OR=1.72, 95%CI=1.03 to 2.89, p=0.038) and log-additive models (OR=1.59, 95%CI=1.02 to 2.48, p=0.039), but for the TLR4 -1607 T/C and TLR4 +896 A/G polymorphisms no association was found. Age above 60 years old (OR=1.83, 95%CI=1.26 to 2.90, p=0.003) and alcohol consumption (OR=2.78, 95%CI=1.68 to 4.60, p=0.000) are also associated with increased risk for developing of this cancer.
