RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Breast and cervical cancer are the two leading cancers in terms of incidence and mortality. Previous studies reported different interleukins, including interleukin-17A (IL-17A) to be responsible for the development and progression of these malignancies. Therefore, we speculated that the variants in this gene might be associated with these cancer developments in Bangladeshi population. For evaluating the hypothesis, we investigated the association of IL-17A rs3748067 polymorphism with the susceptibility of both breast and cervical cancer. METHODS: This case-control study was performed on 156 breast cancer patients, 156 cervical cancer patients, and 156 controls using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction. The statistical software package SPSS (version 25.0) was applied for analyses. The genetic association was measured by the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A statistically significant association was considered when p-value ≤ 0.05. Functional analysis was performed using GEPIA and UALCAN databases. RESULTS: From the calculation of the association of IL-17A rs3748067 with breast cancer, it is found that no genotype or allele showed a statistically significant association (p>0.05). On the other hand, the analysis of IL-17A rs3748067 with cervical cancer demonstrated that CT genotype showed a significant association (CT vs. CC: OR=1.79, p=0.021). In the overdominant model, CT genotype also revealed a statistically significant association with cervical cancer, which is found to be statistically significant (OR=1.84, p=0.015). CONCLUSION: Our study summarizes that rs3748067 polymorphism in the IL-17A gene may be associated with cervical cancer but not breast cancer in Bangladeshi patients. However, we suggest studies in the future with a larger sample size.

Background and Aims: Breast cancer is one of the deadliest diseases affecting women in Bangladesh, and its prevalence is increasing year by year. Although several IL-6 single nucleotide polymorphisms have been implicated in BC susceptibility and prognosis in various studies, no research has been done to investigate the relationship between breast cancer and IL-6 in Bangladeshi women. This investigation aimed to explore the linkage between the rs1800797 variant of IL-6 and the susceptibility to breast carcinoma among women in Bangladesh. Methods: The IL-6 rs1800797 variant was genotyped in 218 subjects (110 cases and 108 controls) using the tetra-primer ARMS-PCR method. The statistical analysis was applied utilizing the SPSS software version 24.0. UALCAN database was used for IL-6 mRNA analysis, and genotype-based gene expression was retrieved from GTEx Portal. Results: This study found a significant link between IL-6 rs1800797 variants and increased chance of breast cancer across different genetic inheritance models, including additive model 1 (AG vs. GG: OR = 2.16, p = 0.035); dominant model (AG + AA vs. GG: OR = 2.26, p < 0.05); overdominant model (AG vs. GG + AA: OR = 2.08, p < 0.05); and allelic model (A vs. G: OR = 2.15, p < 0.05). However, an insignificant association of breast cancer was found in both additive model 2 (AA vs. GG: OR = 2.91, p > 0.05) and the recessive model (AA vs. GG + AG: OR = 2.52, p > 0.05). Under the analysis of the probability of false positive reports, no significant values were found in different models when the OR was 1.5, and the prior probability was 0.25. Conclusions: A significant relationship was found between the IL-6 rs1800797 genetic variant and the risk of breast cancer. However, the findings of the study should be further investigated with a larger sample size to validate the correlation.

Purpose: Previous studies of MMP-3 -1171 5A/6A in cancers have produced inconclusive outcomes. This updated meta-analysis was performed to clarify the link between this variant and cancer. Methods: Databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE and Cochrane were searched for data collection. The associations were calculated by odds ratios with 95% CIs. Results: 63 eligible studies with 14,252 cases and 15,176 controls were included. The codominant 2, codominant 3, dominant, recessive and allele models were found to be significantly associated with 1.28-, 1.13-, 1.13-, 1.19- and 1.13-fold enhanced overall risk of cancer, respectively. Stratification analysis revealed a 1.28-times enhanced risk of esophageal cancer (codominant 1), 1.29- and 1.26-fold (codominant 3) and 1.18- and 1.28-fold (recessive model) enhanced risk in colorectal and gastrointestinal cancers, respectively, 1.30-, 1.35- and 1.22-times in codominant model 1, dominant and allele models for breast cancer, 1.56-fold (codominant 2) for gynecological cancer and 2.40-times in codominant model 2 for hepatocellular cancer. Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests a significant association between the MMP-3 -1171 5A/6A variant and cancer. This meta-analysis was registered at INPLASY (registration number: INPLASY202280049).

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common type of female malignancy in Bangladesh. Polymorphisms in the CYP1A1 gene have been reported to be associated with CC in different populations. This case-control study with meta-analysis was undertaken to assess the relation of CYP1A1 rs4646903 and rs1048943 polymorphisms with the susceptibility of CC. Methods: A total of 185 CC patients and 220 controls were recruited, and the PCR-RFLP (Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) technique was applied for genotyping. Again, 42 eligible studies (24 with rs4646903 and 18 with rs1048943) were included for meta-analysis, and RevMan 5.3 and the MetaGenyo web-based tool were used. Results: The rs4646903 polymorphism was significantly linked with CC in all association models, namely, additive 1, additive 2, dominant, recessive, overdominant, and allele models (OR = 2.41, 4.75, 2.67, 3.61, 2.13, and 2.44 with corresponding 95% CI = 1.55-3.76, 1.81-12.45, 1.75-4.07, 1.39-9.35, 1.38-3.30, and 1.71-3.48, respectively). On the contrary, rs1048943 showed no association (p > 0.05) with CC. Haplotype analysis revealed AT and AC haplotypes significantly decreased (OR = 0.45) and increased (OR = 4.86) CC risk, respectively, and SNPs are in strong linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.912, r2 = 0.448). Again, rs4646903 carriers with a contraception history and >5 years of taking contraceptives showed an enhanced risk of CC (OR = 2.39, OR = 3.05). Besides, rs1048943 carriers aged >40 years (OR = 0.44), conceived first child aged ≤18 years (OR = 3.45), and history of contraceptives (OR = 2.18) were significantly linked with CC. Our meta-analysis found that for CYP1A1 rs4646903 codominant 1 (COD 1), codominant 2 (COD 2), codominant 3 (COD 3), dominant model (DM), recessive model (RM), and allele model (AM) in Caucasians and overdominant model (OD) in the overall population are associated with an elevated risk of CC, whereas rs1048943 is also associated with CC in overall, Caucasians and Asians in some genetic models. Conclusion: Our case-control study and meta-analysis summarize that CYP1A1 rs4646903 and rs1048943 polymorphisms may be correlated with cervical cancer.
RÉSUMÉ
OBJECTIVE: The TP73 G4C14-A4T14 variant has been associated with elevated cancer risk, but the evidence is inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the role of this variant in cancer development. METHODS: Eligible literature was selected by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Embase. The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4. RESULTS: A meta-analysis of 55 case-control studies showed that the G4C14-A4T14 variant was significantly associated with overall cancer development in five genetic models, including the allele model (AM), codominant model 1 (COD1), COD2, dominant model (DM), and over-dominant model (OD). Sub-group analysis based on ethnicity showed significantly higher risks in Africans in COD2 and RM and in Whites in AM, COD2, DM, and recessive model (RM). Cancer-specific subgroup analysis identified significant risks of gynecological (ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer), colorectal, oral, head and neck, and other cancers. Moreover, hospital-based controls revealed significant cancer risks in the AM, COD1, COD2, DM, and RM genetic models. Our findings were confirmed by trial sequential analysis. CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis confirmed that TP73 G4C14-A4T14 significantly elevates the overall cancer risk, especially in White, African, and hospital-based populations, and specifically predisposes individuals to gynecological, colorectal, oral, and head and neck cancers.This meta-analysis was registered at INPLASY (registration number: INPLASY202210070).

Objectives: Disruption in the natural immune reaction due to SARS-CoV-2 infection can initiate a potent cytokine storm among COVID-19 patients. An elevated level of IL-6 and IL-10 during a hyperinflammatory state plays a vital role in increasing the risk of severity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of circulating IL-6 and IL-10 levels as biomarkers for detecting the severity and mortality of COVID-19. Methods: This study was conducted according to the Cochrane Handbook and PRISMA guidelines. Authorized databases were searched to extract suitable studies using specific search terms. RevMan 5.4 was applied for performing the meta-analysis. Mean differences in IL-6 and IL-10 levels were calculated among COVID-19 patients via a random-effects model. NOS scoring, publication bias and sensitivity analyses were checked to ensure study quality. Results: A total of 147 studies were selected, with 31 909 COVID-19 patients under investigation. In the severity analysis, the mean concentration of IL-6 was significantly higher in the severe COVID-19 cases than in the non-severe cases (MD: 19.98; P < .001; 95% CI: 17.56, 22.40). Similar result was observed for IL-10 mean concentration in severe COVID-19 cases (MD: 1.35; P < .001; 95% CI: 0.90, 1.80). In terms of mortality analysis, circulating IL-6 showed sharp elevation in the deceased patients (MD: 42.11; P < .001; 95% CI: 36.86, 47.36). IL-10 mean concentration was higher in the dead patients than in the survived patients (MD: 4.79; P < .001; 95% CI: 2.83, 6.75). Publication bias was not found except for comparing IL-6 levels with disease severity. Sensitivity analysis also reported no significant deviation from the pooled outcomes. Conclusions: Elevated levels of circulating IL-6 and IL-10 signifies worsening of COVID-19. To monitor the progression of SARS-CoV-2 infection, IL-6 and IL-10 should be considered as potential biomarkers for severity and mortality detection in COVID-19.

RÉSUMÉ
Several genetic association studies have analyzed the link between the catalase (CAT) C262T variant and different cancers, but the findings remain controversial. Our research centered on establishing a comprehensive correlation between the C262T variant and different cancers. This study was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. For this meta-analysis, 53 case-control studies (18,258 cases and 47,476 controls) were chosen. The analysis revealed that three genetic models were statistically linked (P < 0.05) to overall cancer susceptibility in codominant model 2 (COD2): odds ratio (OR) = 1.16, COD3: OR = 1.21, recessive model (RM): OR = 1.20). After stratification by ethnicity, a significant link (P < 0.05) was found in Caucasians (COD2: OR = 1.18, COD3: OR = 1.17, over-dominant model (ODM): OR = 1.19) and Asians (COD3: OR = 1.49). Subgroup analyses revealed a significant correlation (P < 0.05) with blood-and-bone-marrow-related cancer, skin cancer, gastrointestinal-tract-related cancer, prostate cancer, and gynecologic cancer. Three genetic models in population-based controls (COD2: OR = 1.19, COD3: OR = 1.17, RM: OR = 1.19) and two genetic models in hospital-based controls (COD3: OR = 1.40, RM: OR = 1.24) were found to be significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with cancer. Also, three genetic models for polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (COD3: OR = 1.46; RM: OR = 1.34, ODM: OR = 0.80) and three models for MALDI-TOF + MassARRAY (COD2: OR = 1.32, RM: OR = 1.26, allele model: OR = 1.14) genotyping methods showed significant association (P < 0.05) with cancer. The meta-regression showed that the quality scores might be a source of significant heterogeneity under the COD2 model (coefficient = 0.176, P = 0.029). Trial sequential analysis also validated the adequacy of the sample size on overall findings. Our results indicate that CAT C262T variant is associated with overall cancer susceptibility, especially in Caucasians and Asians. This variant may also be associated with blood-and-bone-marrow-related, GIT-related, prostate, skin, and gynecological cancers.

OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress caused by the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1ß has been widely investigated for cancer risk. In this study, we focused on the role of IL-1ß rs1143634 polymorphism to reveal its impact on cancer development. METHODS: Related studies with fixed inclusion criteria were selected from electronic databases to May 2021. This meta-analysis was performed with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity, publication bias and sensitivity analyses were also conducted. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) and in-silico gene expression analysis were performed. RESULTS: Forty-four case-control studies involving 18,645 patients with cancer and 22,882 controls were included. We observed a significant association of this single nucleotide polymorphism with overall cancer risk in the codominant model 3 (1.13-fold), recessive model (1.14-fold) and allelic model (1.08-fold). Subgroup analysis revealed that rs1143634 elevated the risk of gastric cancer, breast cancer and multiple myeloma. In addition, Asian and mixed populations and hospital-based controls had a significantly higher risk of cancer development. TSA confirmed our findings. CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis revealed that the presence of IL-1ß rs1143634 polymorphism increases the risk of cancer development. Among polymorphism carriers, the Asian population has a higher risk than other ethnic populations.This meta-analysis was registered retrospectively at INPLASY (https://inplasy.com/, INPLASY2021100044).

OBJECTIVE: The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-32 has high susceptibility to develop cancer. But no previous meta-analysis was done to provide firm evidence. This systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the association of IL-32 gene polymorphisms (rs28372698 and rs12934561) with cancer. METHOD: Eligible studies were selected using authentic databases searching from January 2013 to January 2021. Demographic data and genotypic information were extracted and organized from the selected studies. Review Manager (RevMan) version 5.4 was used to perform data analysis and data arrangement for meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of seven studies with 3395 patients and 3781 controls were included in this study. IL-32 rs28372698 polymorphism implied that mutant allele (TT) carriers had a significantly higher risk of cancer (OR = 1.43, p = 0.032). Codominant 3, recessive and allele models also showed 1.36-, 1.38- and 1.11-fold increased risk, respectively (p < 0.05). Besides, the Asian population showed a significantly increased risk in codominant 2 (OR = 1.74), codominant 3 (OR = 1.78), recessive (OR = 1.76) and allele model (OR = 1.16). IL-32 rs12934561 showed significantly reduced cancer risk in codominant 1 (OR = 0.66. p = 0.035), codominant 2 (OR = 0.76, p = 0.007), and dominant model (OR = 0.72, p = 0.012). After subgroup analysis, an association of rs12934561 was found in Asians (codominant 1: OR = 0.54, p = 7.28 × 10-8; codominant 2: OR = 1.40, p = 0.019; codominant 3: OR = 0.76, p = 0.0006; dominant model: OR = 0.64, p = 1.12 × 10-5; overdominant model: OR = 0.64, p = 3.92 × 10-7) but not in Caucasians. After stratifying with the control source, a significant (p < 0.05) association of rs28372698 and rs12934561 was found with cancer in population-based controls. No publication bias was found, and the outcome of this meta-analysis was not influenced by any individual study confirmed from sensitivity analysis. Moreover, trial sequential analysis (TSA) established a link between rs28372698 and rs12934561 polymorphisms and cancer. CONCLUSION: The outcome of this meta-analysis revealed that IL-32 rs28372698 and rs12934561 polymorphisms are associated with cancer. Moreover, the Asian dynasty had a significant association compared to Caucasians.

OBJECTIVE: Alterations in common DNA repair genes (RAD51 and XRCC2) may lead to cervical cancer (CC) development. In the present study, we analyzed the association between RAD51 rs1801320 and XRCC2 rs3218536 polymorphisms and CC. METHODS: Variants were selected based on their associations with some cancers in several ethnicities and the risk allele frequency (>0.05) in different populations. The variants were detected using the PCR-RFLP method. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were determined by logistic regression models. RESULT: Significantly increased risk (p <0.05) were detected for both SNPs with CC (rs1801320- GC vs. GG: aOR=2.21, 95% CI=1.43-3.42; CC vs. GG: aOR=4.48, 95% CI=1.76-11.42; dominant model: aOR=2.49, 95% CI=1.65-3.76; recessive model: aOR=3.52, 95% CI=1.40-8.88; allele model: OR=2.30, 95% CI=1.63-3.26, and rs3218536- GA vs. GG: aOR=2.77, 95% CI=1.85-4.17; AA vs. GG: aOR=5.86, 95% CI=2.08-16.50; dominant model: aOR=2.97, 95% CI=1.99-4.42; recessive model: aOR=3.56, 95% CI=1.30-9.73; and allele model: aOR=2.21, 95% CI=1.62-3.00). Besides, older patients (>60 years) with rs1801320 showed significantly reduced risk (OR=0.53, 95% CI=0.29-0.96, p=0.04) but with rs3218536 depicted significantly increased risk (aOR=2.44, 95% CI=1.20-4.96, p=0.01) for CC. CONCLUSION: This study indicates an association of rs1801320 and rs3218536 polymorphisms with CC and confirms that patients older than 60 years are more likely to develop CC for rs3218536 polymorphism.

BACKGROUND: Antiplatelet agent clopidogrel has been widely used for stroke management for many years, although resistance to clopidogrel may increase the chance of stroke recurrence. CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LoF) polymorphism is assumed to be responsible for the poor metabolism of clopidogrel that ultimately turns to resistance. Previous publications could not provide firm evidence due to highly conflicting and heterogeneous outcomes. AIM: To get clear evidence from an updated meta-analysis on CYP2C19 LoF polymorphism association with stroke risk in clopidogrel treated patients, this study has been performed. METHODS: We conducted a meta-analysis with 72 selected studies from authentic databases, including 40,035 coronary artery disease patients treated with clopidogrel. RESULTS: This analysis showed that the worldwide carrier of one or more CYP2C19 LoF alleles had a significantly higher risk of stroke and composite events than the non-LoF carriers (RR=1.78, 95% CI=1.52-2.07, p<0.00001 and RR=1.39, 95% CI=1.26-1.54, p<0.00001, respectively). Besides, subgroup analysis showed that Asian CYP2C19 LoF carriers had a significantly increased risk of stroke (RR=1.91, 95% CI=1.60-2.28, p<0.00001) while the risk of composite events was significantly higher in all ethnic populations (Asian: RR=1.58, 95% CI=1.32-1.89, p<0.00001; Caucasian: RR=1.27, 95% CI=1.08-1.50, p=0.003; Hispanic and others: RR=1.21, 95% CI=1.09-1.34, p=0.0003). CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis confirmed that the presence of CYP2C19 LoF alleles increases the risk of stroke and composite events recurrence in the worldwide population, especially in Asians undergoing clopidogrel treatment. Alternative antiplatelet therapy should be investigated thoroughly for the intermediate and poor metabolizers.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifactorial neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by communication deficits, impaired social interactions, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors with restricted interests, and connected with the interaction between environmental factors and genetic vulnerability. CNTNAP2 gene has been extensively investigated for ASD and related neurodevelopment diseases. However, previous studies have resulted in an inconsistent outcome. Based on this fact, we conducted a case-control study followed by a meta-analysis to investigate the association of rs7794745 and rs2710102 polymorphisms with ASD. A total of 216 autistic children and 240 healthy volunteers were recruited, and genotyping was performed using the PCR-RFLP method. We observed that SNP rs7794745 revealed a significantly (p < 0.05) increased association with the development of ASD in children in all genetic models. No significant association was found for rs2710102 with ASD. Besides, rs2710102 exhibited a significant association with language impairment in TC genotype, C allele, and dominant model. From the meta-analysis of both SNPs, we found a significant association in codominant 1, 2, and the dominant model of rs2710102 and codominant 1 and dominant model of rs7794745 with ASD. Our case-control study suggests that rs7794745 polymorphism is associated with ASD, while rs2710102 is correlated with language impairment. Moreover, meta-analysis results indicated the association between both rs7794745 and rs2710102 polymorphisms and ASD.

The polymorphism rs2853669 in the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT) promoter region is widely investigated for the risk of different cancers. However, previous results remained inconclusive. Thus, we performed this updated meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the association between rs2853669 and the susceptibility of human cancer. A systematic literature search via PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases was conducted that produced a total of 19 eligible studies containing 23,085 subjects. The relationship was calculated with the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Statistical analyses were performed using the RevMan 5.4 software. The analysis indicated that rs2853669 is associated with an enhanced risk of overall cancer risk. From subgroup analysis, a significantly increased association in five genetic models (p < 0.05) was found among Asians, but no association was observed in Caucasians. Although we did not find any significant correlation between rs2853669 and breast cancer, an increased and statistically significant association was found for both lung cancer and acute myeloid leukemia. We did not find any association in other cancer types during stratified analysis. Our meta-analysis suggests that rs2853669 polymorphism in TERT gene is associated with an increased risk of overall cancer susceptibility, particularly in the Asian population. Moreover, rs2853669 is significantly associated with lung cancer and acute myeloid lymphoma. However, large-scale studies are needed to confirm our findings.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Aeginetia indica (Linn.), commonly known as aankuri bankuri, guan-jen-huang, forest ghost flower, dok din daeng, dapong tubo; is a root parasitic plant of the Orobanchaceae family native to South and South-East Asian region. Different parts of the plant are traditionally used to treat fever, pain, inflammation, arthritis, cough, diabetes, and chronic liver disease. Local practitioners often recommend this plant as a folk remedy for dermal swelling, painful menstrual periods, wounds, and knee pain. However, the antipyretic and analgesic activity of A. indica have never been investigated. AIM OF THE STUDY: The present study was aimed to evaluate the analgesic and antipyretic potential of Aeginetia indica plant extract to verify its effectiveness as reported in traditional uses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Preliminary phytochemical analysis of Aeginetia indica crude extract was performed using previously established methods and antioxidant capacity was determined by phosphomolybdenum assay. In vivo analgesic activity of Aeginetia indica methanol extract (AiME) was evaluated by acetic acid-induced writhing test, formalin-induced paw licking test, and hot plate test model. The antipyretic activity was studied in Baker's yeast induced pyrexia model. RESULTS: Phytochemicals screening revealed cardiac glycosides, saponins, phenols, tannins, and flavonoids in the crude extract of Aeginetia indica. Total phenolic and flavonoid content were recorded as 101 ± 1.1 mg GAE/g of the extract and 35 ± 0.8 mg QE/g of the extract, respectively. The total antioxidant capacity observed in phosphomolybdenum assay was 68.3 ± 1.3 mg ascorbic acid equivalent per gram of the extract. AiME showed significant dose-dependent analgesic activity against acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin-induced paw licking, and hot plate pain model. A higher dose of A. indica (200 mg/kg) produced significant (P < 0.001) inhibition of writhing by 69% whereas, standard aspirin showed maximum 85.6% inhibition. AiME at all doses showed a significant (P < 0.001) decrease of paw licking time in both early neurogenic and late inflammatory pain phase of formalin-induced licking test. In the hot plate test, AiME at a 200 mg/kg dose produced antinociceptive activity (55.18%) higher than the standard ketorolac (49.88%) at 1 h. However, after 2 h, ketorolac showed a maximum effect of 62.66% and AiME 200 mg/kg showed a 60.24% effect. A significant (P < 0.001) reduction of rectal temperature (4.54 °F↓) was recorded for AiME 200 mg/kg, which was higher than the standard paracetamol (3.86 F°↓) after 24 h of treatment. CONCLUSION: The in vivo investigational studies' results demonstrated promising analgesic and antipyretic activities of A. indica, which supported the claim of its folk uses.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of Cervical Cancer (CC) is disproportionately higher in developing countries. It is the second most frequent cancer type among Bangladeshi women and the major cause of morbidity and mortality. However, no previous data reported the association of miR-218-2 gene polymorphisms in Bangladeshi cervical cancer patients. AIM: This case-control study was designed to find the link between the rs11134527 polymorphism in miR-218-2 and CC. METHODS: A total of 488 subjects were recruited, comprising 256 cervical cancer patients and 232 healthy females. Genotyping was conducted with the tetra-primer ARMS-PCR technique to detect the association. RESULTS: The results of genotype data showed that rs11134527 was in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both CC cases and controls (P >0.05). Overall, the polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer with AG genotype (AG vs. GG: OR = 2.26, 95% Cl = 1.40-3.66, P = 0.0008), AA genotype (AA vs. GG: OR = 3.64, 95% Cl = 2.17-6.10, P <0.0001), dominant model (AG+AA vs. GG: OR = 2.75, 95% Cl = 1.75-4.31, P <0.0001), recessive model (AA vs. GG+AG: OR = 2.08, 95% Cl = 1.41-3.08, P = 0.0002), and A allele (A vs. G: OR = 1.94, 95% Cl = 1.51-2.51, P <0.0001). All of these correlations remained statistically significant after performing Bonferroni correction (P <0.008). CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that the rs11134527 polymorphism in the miR-218-2 gene contributes to the susceptibility of CC in Bangladeshi women.

BACKGROUND: Aeginetia indica, a perennial herb from the Orobanchaceae family, generally grows as a root parasite and is widely distributed in the forests of South and South-Asian countries. The plant has valuable uses in herbal medicine against various diseases, such as diabetes, liver diseases, and arthritis. AIM OF THE STUDY: The present study was designed to investigate the antidiabetic and hepatoprotective effects of the methanol extract of the whole plant of A. indica in a mouse model followed by the isolation of bioactive compounds and their in-silico studies. METHODS: The hepatoprotective effects were evaluated in a paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity mouse model. The antidiabetic effects were examined by an oral glucose tolerance test and in an alloxan-induced diabetes mouse model. RESULTS: The plant extract, at a dose of 400 mg/kg, caused a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in liver enzyme concentrations, including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase, similar to the effects of standard drug silymarin. The plant extract, at 400 mg/kg, also significantly reduced (p < 0.001) the fasting blood glucose concentration by 27.33 % after 3 h, compared with a reduction of 45.31 % in response to glibenclamide. In the alloxan-induced diabetes model mice, significant reductions (p < 0.05) in elevated glucose concentrations were observed on days 10 and 20 in mice treated with plant extract and glibenclamide. Chromatographic analyses and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies identified the presence of ß-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and oleic acid in the extract. The possible mechanism underlying the antidiabetic effects was revealed by molecular docking analyses examining the binding of ß-sitosterol and stigmasterol with sirtuin 4, an NAD-dependent deacylase enzyme that downregulates leucine-induced and glutamate dehydrogenase-induced insulin secretion. The binding affinities between sirtuin 4 and ß-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and NAD were found to be -8.6 kcal/mol, -7.2 kcal/mol and -9.5 kcal/mol, respectively, indicating the probable competition between NAD and the isolated components for sirtuin 4. CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that A. indica exerted protective effects against alloxan-induced diabetes and paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity in mice, which supports the findings regarding the use of A. indica during traditional medical practice.

OBJECTIVE: Cervical cancer is one of the most destructive diseases among females worldwide, especially in developing countries. Interleukin-10 (IL10) is a multifunctional cytokine, and polymorphisms in the IL10 gene have been identified in multiple malignancies. However, no prior studies were conducted to determine the association of IL10 polymorphisms (rs1800872 and rs1800896) with cervical cancer patients in Bangladesh. METHODS: This case-control study was carried out on 240 cervical cancer patients and 204 healthy volunteers. Genotyping was performed using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). RESULTS: In the case of rs1800872, CA and AA genotypes significantly increased the risk of cervical cancer (OR = 1.59, 95% CI = 1.01-2.49, p = 0.043; OR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.53-4.93, p = 0.0007, respectively) but the significance did not exist for CA genotype after Bonferroni correction (p < 0.025). An increased risk was also observed for the dominant model, recessive model, and allele model (A vs. C) of rs1800872 (dominant model: OR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.18-2.80, p = 0.006; recessive model: OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.22-3.29, p = 0.006; allele model: OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.19-2.03, p = 0.001) which remained significant after the correction of Bonferroni. For rs1800896, only GG genotype and recessive model showed increased risk for cervical cancer (GG vs. AA: OR = 3.48, 95% CI = 1.46-8.31, p = 0.005; recessive model: OR = 3.57, 95% CI = 1.52-8.38, p = 0.003). These associations were statistically significant, and the significance existed after Bonferroni correction. Haplotype analysis revealed that AA haplotype significantly increased the risk (OR = 1.56, p = 0.001) whereas, CA haplotype significantly lowered the risk (OR = 0.42, p = 2.42x10-8), and both rs1800872 and rs1800896 are strongly in linkage disequilibrium (D'=1, r2 = 0.333). Moreover, the IL10 mRNA level was found up-regulated in silico in cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues compared to healthy tissues (p = 1.11x10-16). CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that rs1800872 and rs1800896 polymorphisms of IL10 gene are associated with cervical cancer in Bangladeshi females.

BACKGROUND: A transversion missense polymorphism of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene at the codon 72 codes proline instead of arginine causes an altered p53 protein expression and has been found to be associated with an elevated risk of various cancer; especially breast and lung cancer. As the previous case-control studies on the South Asian population have shown controversial results, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate a precise estimation of the relationship between the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism with breast and lung cancer. METHODS: A total of 12 related studies on the South Asian population have been included through comprehensive database searching. Six studies were selected for breast cancer meta-analysis involving 950 cases and 882 controls; the other six studies were for lung cancer meta-analysis including 975 cases and 1397 controls. The results have been determined by using the Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3. Additionally, the stability of our analysis was assessed by heterogeneity, publication bias analysis and sensitivity testing. RESULTS: A significantly increased risk of breast cancer was found in Pro allele (Pro vs. Arg), co-dominant model 2 (Pro/Pro vs. Arg/Arg), dominant model (Pro/Pro + Arg/Pro vs. Arg/Arg). In case of lung cancer, significantly increased risk was found in the allele, co-dominant 1, co-dominant 2, co-dominant 3, dominant, and recessive models. No association with other genetic models with breast and lung cancer risk was found in the South Asian population. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism is a risk factor for the development of breast cancer and lung cancer in the South Asian population.
