AbstractBackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is among the leading causes of cancer death. Rectal cancers account for one third of CRC cases. The role and significance of colorectal cancer risk loci in rectal cancer progression has not been investigated.MethodsWe generated and explored a dataset from 230 rectal cancer patients by gene expression microarray analysis of cancer samples and matched controls, and SNP arrays of germline DNA.Results8q24 (upstream of MYC) and 18q21 (in the intron of SMAD7), two of the loci most strongly linked with colorectal cancer risk, as well as 20q13 (in the intron of LAMA5), are tightly associated with the prognosis of rectal cancer patients. For SNPs on 18q21 (rs12953717 and rs4464148) and 20q13 (rs4925386), alleles that correlate with higher risk for the development of colorectal cancer are associated with shorter disease free survival. However, for rs6983267 on 8q24, the low risk allele is associated with a higher risk for recurrence and metastasis after surgery, and importantly, is strongly correlated with the resistance of colorectal cancer cell lines to chemoradiotherapy. We also found that although MYC expression is dramatically increased in cancer, patients with higher levels of MYC have a better prognosis. The expression of SMAD7 is weakly correlated with disease free time. Notably, the presence of the 8q24 and 18q21 SNP alleles is not correlated with a change of expression of MYC and SMAD7. rs4464148, and probably rs6983267 and rs4925386, are linked with overall survival time of patients.ConclusionsSNPs at three colorectal cancer risk loci detect subpopulations of rectal cancer patients with poor prognosis. rs6983267 probably affects prognosis through interfering with the resistance of cancer cells to chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 40 colorectal cancer susceptibility loci, but only a small fraction of heritability was explained. To account for missing heritability, we investigated gene-environment interactions (G × Es) between GWAS-identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and established risk or protective factors for colorectal cancer using both case-only and case-control study designs. Methods Data on 703 colorectal cancer cases and 1406 healthy controls from the National Cancer Center in Korea were used. We tested interactions between 31 GWAS-identified SNPs and 13 established risk or protective factors for colorectal cancer (family history, body mass index, history of colorectal polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes mellitus, alcohol drinking, smoking, regular exercise, regular aspirin use, postmenopausal hormone replace therapy, red meat and processed meat intake, and dairy consumption). Logistic regression models were used to assess G × Es for colorectal cancer risk. Results The SNP rs4444235 at 14q22.2 interacted with regular exercise in colorectal cancer (pcase-only = 2.4 × 10− 3, pcase-control = 1.5 × 10− 3). The risk allele (C) of rs4444235 increased the risk of colorectal cancer in regularly exercising individuals (OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.02–2.10) but decreased the risk in non-exercising individuals (OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.62–0.94). Furthermore, the G × E between the SNP rs2423279 at 20p12.3 and regular aspirin use was statistically significant (pcase-only = 7.7 × 10− 3, pcase-control = 1.6 × 10− 3). The additive effect of the risk allele (T) of rs2423279 on colorectal cancer risk was increased among regular aspirin users (OR = 4.62, 95% CI = 1.97–10.80). Conclusion Our results suggest that SNP rs4444235 at 14q22.2 and SNP rs2423279 at 20p12.3 may interact with regular exercise and aspirin use in colorectal carcinogenesis.
