Abstract
BackgroundCYP2E1 polymorphisms have been reported to influence individual’s breast cancer susceptibility as a phase I enzyme, but the results of these previous studies remain controversial. We performed a comprehensive meta-analysis to assess their association.MethodsA comprehensive search of literature included in various databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Google scholar), published before August 2016, was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated in fixed or random-effects models were used to estimate the strength of the associations between three polymorphisms of CYP2E1 and breast cancer susceptibility. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and test for publication bias were also performed. A total of 11 separate comparisons involving 4311 cases and 4407 controls were included in the meta-analysis.ResultsOur result showed that there was no significant association between the two common polymorphisms CYP2E1 rs2031920 C>T, CYP2E1*5 Rsa I/Rst I (c1/c2) and BC risk. For CYP2E1*6 Dra I (D/C) polymorphism, a significantly increased BC risk in the overall population was found in genetic model D/C vs. D/D (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.04–1.61, P = 0.023) and C/C + D/C vs. D/D (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.04–1.51, P = 0.019), together with subjects who have at least one C allele (C vs. D: OR = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.20–1.79, P < 0.001). Similar results were also found in subgroup analyses in Caucasians of these three comparison models.ConclusionsThe present meta-analysis suggests that CYP2E1*6 Dra I (D/C) variation significantly associated with the risk of BC. Individuals with D/C and C/C + D/C genotypes or carried at least one C allele of CYP2E1*6 Dra I (D/C) polymorphism had a significant higher susceptibility to develop BC.
Highlights
CYP2E1 polymorphisms have been reported to influence individual’s breast cancer susceptibility as a phase I enzyme, but the results of these previous studies remain controversial
Search strategy A comprehensive search of literature listed in various databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Google scholar), published before August 2016, was performed using the following key words ‘breast cancer’ or’ ‘breast carcinoma’, ‘polymorphism’ or ‘variant’ and ‘mutation’, all combined with Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) term ‘CYP2E1’
Night case–control studies focus on three CYP2E1 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk were included in our meta-analysis [14, 15, 22,23,24,25,26,27]
Summary
CYP2E1 polymorphisms have been reported to influence individual’s breast cancer susceptibility as a phase I enzyme, but the results of these previous studies remain controversial. A risk factor for cancer of various organs, has been proved associated with BC [7]. The relationship between tobacco smoke and BC development, continuously, been emphasized that smoking could increased breast cancer risk, no matter passively or actively [8]. Their association with BC according to carcinogen-metabolizing genotype was investigated by more than 50 epidemiologic
