No Association between Common Chemokine and Chemokine Receptor Gene Variants and Prostate Cancer Risk

Abstract: There is growing evidence that inflammation and infection play important roles in the etiology of prostate cancer. As the chemokine network is directly involved in inflammation and infectious diseases, we tested for an association between six common putative functional variants and prostate cancer risk using an Australian case-control study. We measured CCL5 À403G>A, CXCL12 +801G>A, CCR2 V64I (G>A), CCR5#32, CX3CR1V249I (G>A), and CX3CR1T280M (C>T) for 815 cases and 738 controls. Of these, only CXCL12 +801G>A … Show more

“…The authors reported no association of either homozygous or heterozygous CCR5∆32 genotype with prostate cancer development, nor with the clinicopathologic status [190]. Similar results were obtained in an earlier case-control study by Petersen and co-workers [191] in a larger Australian cohort. Blood samples were obtained from participants and subjected to PCR analysis to determine CCR5∆32 genotypes.…”

“…Similar allelic frequencies were observed among patients and healthy controls. The authors thus concluded CCR5∆32 to not be associated with susceptibility to prostate cancer [191].…”

“…In a study involving 607 Caucasian male residents of Spain (297 cases, 3011 controls), Saenz-Lopez and co-workers (2008) observed a 1.44-fold increase in PCA risk among carriers of the CCL5 rs2107538 GA+AA genotype (P = 0.039) [18]. However, this finding did not corroborate with a larger null report consisting of 1553 Caucasian men (i.e., 815 PCA cases, 738 controls) from Australia [33]. Our findings of a protective effect against PCA among our study participants is consistent with other published reports that reveal a decrease in the risk of developing gastric cancer, lymphoma, and type 1 diabetes [10,16,20].…”
