Background
Adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) polymorphisms have been shown to affect adiponectin serum concentration and some have been associated with breast cancer (BC) risk. The aims of this study were to describe the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ADIPOQ in Mexican women with BC and to determine if they show an association with it.
Methods
DNA samples from 397 patients and 355 controls were tested for the ADIPOQ gene SNPs: rs2241766 (GT) and rs1501299 (GT) by TaqMan allelic discrimination assay. Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was tested. Multiple SNP inheritance models adjusted by age and body mass index (BMI) were examined for the SNP rs1501299.
Results
We found that in the frequency analysis of rs1501299 without adjusting the BMI and age, the genotype distribution had a statistically significant difference (P = 0.003). The T allele was associated with a BC risk (OR, 1.99; 95% CI 1.13–3.51, TT vs. GG; OR, 1.53; 95% CI 1.12–2.09, GT vs. GG). The SNP rs2241766 was in HW disequilibrium in controls. In conclusion, the rs1501299 polymorphism is associated with a BC risk.
Conclusions
Identification of the genotype of these polymorphisms in patients with BC can contribute to integrate the risk profile in both patients and their relatives as part of a comprehensive approach and increasingly more personalized medicine.
Breast cancer (BC) has one of the highest incidences and mortality worldwide. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TOX3 rs3803662 and MMP7 rs1943779 have been associated with susceptibility to BC. In this case-control study, we evaluated the association of rs3803662 (TOX3)/rs1943779 (MMP7) SNPs with clinical features, immunohistochemical reactivity, and risk association with BC in women from northeastern Mexico. We compared 212 BC cases and 212 controls. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood to perform the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. We calculated genotype frequencies, odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals. We found that CT (Cytocine–Thymine) and TT (Thymine –Thymine) genotypes, and T alleles of TOX3 rs3803662, were associated with BC risk (p = 0.034, p = 0.011, respectively). SNP TOX3 rs3803662 was associated with positive progesterone receptors (PR) and triple-negative BC (TNBC) but not with estrogen receptor (ER) or HER2 reactivity. CT and TT genotypes (p = 0.006) and T alleles (p = 0.002) of SNP MMP7 rs1943779 were associated with risk of BC. We found that T alleles of TOX3 rs3803662 and MMP7 rs1943779 SNPs are associated with BC risk. These findings contribute to personalized medicine in Mexican women.
Abbott Laboratories de México S.A. de C.V. developed a new fixed-dose combination of mosapride 5 mg, pancreatin 170 mg, and simethicone 125 mg as an alternative to the mosapride monotherapy to improve overall satisfaction and adequate relief of gastrointestinal disorders symptoms and to reduce multiple pill burden. As a part of the fixed-dose combination registration process in Mexico, a pharmacokinetic and relative bioavailability study was carried out to demonstrate nonexistence of pharmacokinetic interaction when mosapride is administered alone or in combination with pancreatin and simethicone using DOSIER ® (mosapride) 5-mg tablets as a reference product. Tolerability of the fixed-dose combination tablet was assessed. In this open-label, randomized, oral single-dose, two-way crossover study, 65 healthy male and female subjects received either the fixeddose combination tablet or the reference product during each study period. The two study periods were separated by a 7-day washout period. Mosapride concentrations in plasma samples were determined using a validated ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method. Blood samples were collected for up to 16 h post dose. The primary evaluation criteria were C max and AUC 0-t for mosapride. The 90% confidence intervals for the ratio of geometric means for C max (96.12% to 110.90%) and AUC 0-t (99.07% to 108.06%) were within the defined acceptance limits of 75% to 133% and 80% to 125% for C max and AUC 0-t , respectively, indicating bioequivalence between the two products. Both products were safe and well tolerated. Therefore, mosapride in combination with pancreatin and simethicone tablet is bioequivalent to mosapride alone, and no new safety signals emerged.
