  ABSTRACT: Previous studies concerning the association between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk in Asian populations generated conflicting results. A meta-analysis was therefore performed to allow a more reliable estimate of any link. Relevant studies concerning the association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and risk of colorectal cancer were included into this meta-analysis. The quality of the studies was assessed according to a predefined scale. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined for this gene-disease association using fixed or random effect models according to the heterogeneity between included studies. Finally, 21 studies with a total of 6692 cases and 8266 controls were included. Meta-analyses showed that there was an obvious association of the MTHFR 677T allele with decreased risk of colorectal cancer (OR = 0.91, 95%CI=0.85-0.98, P=0.011). Subgroup analyses by country further identified this association, with dietary folate as the main source of heterogeneity. The MTHFR 677T allele is associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer in Asian populations, and there is effect modification by population plasma folate.

  ABSTRACT: To study the effect of simultaneously increasing PTEN gene expression and inhibiting Livin gene expression on the gastric carcinoma cell line (BGC823) and construct a recombinant vector expressing PTEN while simultaneously silencing Livin. The siRNA expression unit against Livin gene (siLivin) was cleaved from pRNAT-U6.1-Livin vector and then inserted into pCL-neo-PTE to construct the recombinant vector pCL-neo-PTEN-siLivin. Then pCL-neo-PTEN-siLivinp, pCL-neo-PTEN, pRNAT-U6.1-Livin, pCL-neo and pRNAT-U6.1 were respectively transfected into the gastric carcinoma cell line (BGC823) with LipofectAMINE(TM) 2000. The mRNA and protein expression level of PTEN and Livin genes in each cell group was detected by fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Recombinant vectors of pCL-neo-PTEN, pRNAT-U6.1-Livin and pCL-neo-PTEN-siLivin were constructed successfully. After transfection with pCL-neo-PTEN-siLivin, the mRNA and protein expression level of PTEN (0.897±0.112) rose in BGC823 cells while Livin gene became silenced. And the characterization of regulated cell bioactivity improved. There were significant differences between transfected and control groups (P<0.05). And the inhibiting effect on the proliferation and metastasis of BGC823 cell by increasing PTEN expression and silencing Livin simultaneously was better than that only by regulating PTEN genes or Livin genes alternatively. The recombinant vector of expressing PTEN and silencing Livin gene simultaneously is successfully constructed.
