ABSTRACT
Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, a cell adhesion molecule, is reportedly overexpressed in several cancers and may contribute to tumorgenesis and metastasis. The current study explored the effect of ICAM-1 gene polymorphisms on the susceptibility of developing urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) and the clinicopathological status. A total of 558 participants, including 279 healthy people and 279 patients with UCC, were recruited for this study. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the ICAM-1 gene were assessed by a real-time polymerase chain reaction with the TaqMan assay. After adjusting for other covariants, the individuals carrying at least one G allele at ICAM-1 rs5498 had a 1.603-fold risk of developing UCC than did wild-type (AA) carriers. Furthermore, UCC patients who carried at least one G allele at rs5498 had a higher invasive stage risk (p < 0.05) than did patients carrying the wild-type allele. In conclusion, the rs5498 polymorphic genotypes of ICAM-1 might contribute to the prediction of susceptibility to and pathological development of UCC. This is the first study to provide insight into risk factors associated with ICAM-1 variants in carcinogenesis of UCC in Taiwan.
