ABSTRACT
TGF-ß1 and TGF-ßR1 play important roles in immune and inflammatory responses. Genetic variants of TGF-ß1 rs1800470 and TGF-ßR1 rs334348 have emerged as potentially prognostic biomarkers for HPV-related head and neck cancer, while their prognostic effect on survival of smoking-related head and neck cancer remains unknown. This study included 1403 patients with smoking-related head and neck cancer, and all these patients were genotyped for TGF-ß1 rs1800470 and TGF-ßR1 rs334348. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate associations between the two functional genetic variants in microRNA binding sites of TGF-ß1 and TGF-ßR1 and survivals. Patients with TGF-ß1 rs1800470 CT or CC genotype had 30-35% risk reductions for OS, DSS, and DFS compared to patients with TT genotype among overall patients, ever smokers, and patients administered chemoradiation. Furthermore, patients with TGF-ßR1 rs334348 GA or GG genotype had significant 50-60% risk reductions for OS, DSS, and DFS compared to patients with AA genotype among overall patients and patients administered chemoradiation; among ever smokers, the risk reductions even reached 60-70%. The TCGA dataset was used for validation. These findings suggest that TGF-ß1 rs1800470 and TGF-ßR1 rs334348 significantly affect survival outcomes in patients with smoking-related head and neck cancer, especially in the subgroups of ever smokers and patients treated with chemoradiation. These genetic variants may serve as prognostic indicators for patients with smoking-related head and neck cancer and could play a role in advancing the field of personalized chemoradiation, thereby improving patient survival and quality of life.
