Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is recognized as one of the most common cancer globally. The association between CRC and apurinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) Asp148Glu polymorphism remains unclear; thus, this meta-analysis aimed to explore whether APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism is related to CRC risk.
Methods: Embase, PubMed, Cochrane library, CNKI and Wanfang databases were subject to a systematic search until April, 17, 2020 to evaluate the effect of APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism on CRC risk. The associated strength was used to evaluate with odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) between Asp148Glu polymorphism and CRC risk. Subgroup analyses were also performed.
Results: In total, 11 articles including 8,136 subjects (3,836 cases and 4,300 controls) were included. Five genetic models were analyzed, including the additive model (G vs. T), the heterozygote comparison (TG vs. TT), the homozygote comparison (GG vs. TT), the dominant model (TG+GG vs. TT), and the recessive model (GG vs. TG+TT). In these models, T refers to thymine and G refers to guanine. The APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism in heterozygote comparison [OR (95%CI) = 1.36 (1.05, 1.75), P=0.019] and dominant model [OR (95%CI) =1.31 (1.07, 1.61), P=0.010] significantly increased CRC risk. No significant association was seen for the additive model [OR (95%CI) = 1.14 (1.00, 1.31), P=0.057], recessive model [OR (95%CI) = 0.97 (0.71, 1.31), P=0.826] or in homozygote comparison [OR (95%CI) = 1.15 (0.88, 1.52), P=0.309]. Moreover, CRC risk indicated a remarkable association with APE1 Asp148Glu polymorphism in the PCR-RFLP additive model, homozygote comparison and recessive model (PG) may be a potential risk factor for CRC.
