ABSTRACT

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression; however, the extent to which single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) interfere with miRNA gene regulation and affect cervical cancer (CC) susceptibility remains largely unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed miRNA-related SNPs and their association with CC risk, and performed a case-control study of miR-17-5p SNPs and CC risk in a Chinese population. Sixteen SNPs were genotyped in 247 CC cases and 285 controls. Three were associated with CC risk (p < 0.05): the minor allele (A) of rs217727 in H19 increased risk (OR = 1.53, p = 0.002), while the minor alleles (T) of rs9931702 and (T) of rs9302648 in AKTIP decreased CC risk (p = 0.018, p = 0.014). Analysis of the SNPs after stratification based on CC clinical stage and subtype revealed that rs1048512, rs6659346, rs217727, rs9931702, and rs9302648 were associated with CC risk in clinical stages I-II; rs2862833, rs2732044, rs1030389, and rs1045935 were associated with CC risk in clinical stages III-IV; and rs217727, rs9931702, and rs9302648 were associated with CC risk in squamous carcinomas. These data could serve as a useful resource for understanding the miR-17 function, identification of miRNAs associated with CC, and development of better CC screening strategies.
