Abstract

The FOSB gene is involved in cell proliferation, differentiation and transformation in several tumor types. We investigated whether coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (cSNPs) and promoter SNPs of FOSB contribute to the development of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). We also assessed the associations between FOSB SNPs and the clinicopathological characteristics of PTC. One coding SNP (rs2282695, Ala39Ala) and one promoter SNP (rs12373539, -158) in the FOSB gene were genotyped using direct sequencing in 94 PTC patients and 213 healthy controls. Genetic data were analyzed using SNPStats, HelixTree and SNPAnalyzer. PTC patients were dichotomized and compared with respect to clinicopathological characteristics of PTC. We detected an association between PTC and cSNP (rs2282695) in FOSB [codominant model 1 (C/C vs. G/C); OR=1.75; 95% CI, 1.04‑2.94; P=0.024; codominant model 2 (C/C vs. G/G): OR=2.55; 95% CI, 1.15‑5.64; P=0.045; dominant model: OR=1.89; 95% CI, 1.16‑3.08; P=0.010; Log‑additive model: OR=1.64; 95% CI, 1.15‑2.35; P=0.007]. The G allele was a risk allele in the genotype and allele analyses of cSNP (rs2282695) in the FOSB gene (OR=1.57; 95% CI, 1.10‑2.24; P=0.012). A promoter SNP (rs12373539) in FOSB was associated with cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC [codominant model 1 (G/G vs. A/G): OR=0.23; 95% CI, 0.07‑0.72; P=0.016; codominant model 2 (G/G vs. A/A): OR=0.21; 95% CI, 0.02‑1.96; P=0.0.05; dominant model: OR=0.22; 95% CI, 0.08‑0.66; P=0.004; overdominant model: OR=0.27; 95% CI, 0.09‑0.84; P=0.02; log‑additive model: OR=0.31; 95% CI, 0.12‑0.78; P=0.006]. The A allele was a protective allele in the genotype and allele analyses of SNP (rs12373539) in the FOSB gene promoter (OR=0.34; 95% CI, 0.14‑0.83; P=0.017). Variation in a FOSB cSNP (rs2282695) may be associated with risk of PTC. The FOSB promoter SNP (rs12373539) may be associated with lymph node metastasis of PTC.
