The pathogenesis of cancer involves environmental factors in addition to hereditary factors. Recent studies have pointed to a potential role for inflammation in prostatic carcinogenesis and tumor progression. An important factor is the development of chronic inflammation in the prostate due to a number of potential causes including infections, dietary factors, hormonal changes and/or other unknown environmental exposures. In this study we investigated the possible association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the interleukin IL‐1B (C>T), tumor necrosis factor (308G>A), RANTES‐403, GSTP1 exon 5 polymorphic site (Ile105àVal), PPARG (Pro12Ala) genes also two STR polymorphic marker GSTP1 (penta‐nucleotide repeat at promoter regions) and a pyrimidine‐rich penta‐nucleotide repeat length polymorphism, CD4‐1188 (TTTTC) and the risk for developing prostate cancer. Our study is comprised of 134 prostate cancer cases and age, gender and race matched 178 normal healthy controls. These genes are known to be important for inflammation of prostate and common allelic variants have been shown to have a biological effect. Hence, we searched for a possible association between SNP polymorphisms and STR polymorphic allele gene frequencies obtained in prostate cancer patients and compared with those of a normal control population, looking for allelic associations between any of these polymorphic loci and prostate cancer risk. Strong association between GSTP1, CD4, RANTES (p<0.001), a high variation in allelic frequency of mutant IL1B, TNF and PPARG (p=NS) and prostate cancer risk are observed. Genetic associations of disease and genetic variations in inflammatory genes are often relatively modest, it is likely that polymorphisms in multiple inflammatory genes cooperate in an additive or synergistic manner to impact disease risk Because genetic associations of disease and genetic variations in inflammatory genes are often relatively modest, it is likely that polymorphisms in multiple inflammatory genes cooperate in an additive or synergistic manner to impact disease risk. The possible role of inflammation and gene associations with prostate cancer risk will be discussed. This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.
