Abstract

Background

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one the most common malignant cancers in men. Micro-RNAs are a group of a noncoding small molecule, which plays critical roles in signalling pathways, metabolism, apoptosis and cancer development. The purpose of this study was to examine the possible association between the hsa-miR-499 (rs3746444) and hsa-miR-196a2 (rs11614913) gene polymorphisms with the risk of PCa.

Methods

The case–control investigation was performed on 300 peripheral blood samples, consisting of 150 patients with PCa and 150 healthy men without a family history of cancers. Genetic variations of hsa-miR-499 and hsa-miR-196a2 genes were assessed using the PCR–RFLP method.

Results

The T/T + TC/CC genotype frequencies showed a significant association between has-mir499 (rs3746444 T>C) gene polymorphism with the risk of PCa (p = 0.027; OR 1.780; 95% CI 1.030–3.113). The genotype frequencies of hsa-miR-196a2 gene did not reveal a statistically significant difference between two groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

Our findings supported that hsa-miR-499 gene polymorphism significantly increased susceptibility to PCa and may be considered as a potential prognostic biomarker in PCa patients. The findings suggested that no correlation between hsa-miR-196a2 gene polymorphism and PCa susceptibility in an Iranian population.
