<abstract>
<p>Molecular epidemiological studies have revealed a closer association between cyclin D1 (CCND1) polymorphism and the risk of colorectal cancer; however, the results were inconsistent. The aim of the present meta-analysis was to investigate the association between CCND1 G870A polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk. Online electronic databases (PubMed and Embase) were searched. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95&#x0025; confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between CCND1 G870A polymorphism and the risk of colorectal cancer. In addition, heterogeneity, publication bias and sensitivity analysis were performed to guarantee the statistical power. In total, 23 published case-control studies with 6,320 patients and 8,252 controls were selected. Significantly increased risks were observed in four genetic models (A vs. G: OR=1.09, 95&#x0025; CI=1.00&#x2013;1.18, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=54.3&#x0025;; GA vs. GG: OR=1.13, 95&#x0025; CI=1.04&#x2013;1.24, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=18.2&#x0025;; AA vs. GG, OR=1.17: 95&#x0025; CI=1.00&#x2013;1.38, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=52.5&#x0025;; GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG: OR=1.14, 95&#x0025; CI=1.05&#x2013;1.24, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=33.8&#x0025;). Similarly, significant associations were also identified in the stratified analysis in the cancer subtype of sporadic colorectal cancer (GA vs. GG: OR=1.21, 95&#x0025; CI=1.04&#x2013;1.42, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=24.1&#x0025;; GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG: OR=1.18, 95&#x0025; CI=1.02&#x2013;1.37, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=35.0&#x0025;), Caucasian population (GA vs. GG, OR=1.14, 95&#x0025; CI=1.02&#x2013;1.28, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=19.8&#x0025;; GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG, OR=1.14, 95&#x0025; CI=1.02&#x2013;1.27, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=37.5&#x0025;) and other subgroups of control design and genotyping type. The present updated meta-analysis suggested that CCND1 G870A may present an increased risk for developing colorectal cancer, particularly in sporadic colorectal cancer and a Caucasian population.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases. In 2009, there were 146,970 new patients and 49,920 mortalities in the United States, with colorectal cancer ranking third overall in terms of incidence and mortality in men and women (<xref rid="b1-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>). Colorectal cancer is a multifactorial disease, resulting from complex interactions between environmental factors and genetic mutations. A number of studies have revealed that diet may be involved in the development of colorectal cancer (<xref rid="b2-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="b3-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>). The abnormal intake of animal meat, fat, vegetables and vitamins may increase the risk of development of colorectal cancer. In addition, family history and genetic factors are also closely associated with colorectal cancer; for example, MutS homolog 2 (MSH2) and MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene mutations are associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (<xref rid="b3-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>).</p>
<p>Aberrant cellular proliferation is closely associated with the development of cancers. The cyclin family is considered to exert a key role in cell proliferation. Cyclin D1 (CCND1) is a major regulator protein, which fulfills a critical role during transition from the growth (G)1 to the synthesis (S) phase, promoting the progression of the cell cycle during cell mitosis by adhering to cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 4 and 6 (<xref rid="b4-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>,<xref rid="b5-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>). The constitutively increased expression of CCND1 is observed in numerous malignant cancers, and is associated with a poor prognosis (<xref rid="b6-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>&#x2013;<xref rid="b8-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>).</p>
<p>Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are able to change the structure of the genome and influence protein expression and function, which leads to abnormal cell proliferation and an increased risk of cancer (<xref rid="b9-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>). The most common mutation locus of the CCND1 gene is at codon 242, with a nucleotide change from guanine (G) to adenine (A) in exon 4. The A allele increases the frequency of alternative splicing during cell transcription, leading to an elevated level of CCND1, and consequently resulting in abnormal cell proliferation and an escape from apoptosis (<xref rid="b10-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>).</p>
<p>In 2009, Kong <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b11-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>) reported the first case-control study on the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk, but no significant differences in genotyping were observed in a population in the United States. To date, several molecular epidemiological investigations have been performed to evaluate the association between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and colorectal cancer susceptibility, although the results were inconsistent. In the present investigation, a meta-analysis of published case-control studies was therefore performed to precisely assess the association between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and the risk of colorectal cancer.</p>

<title>Materials and methods</title>
<p>This meta-analysis was designed according to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA Compliant) statement (<xref rid="b12-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>).</p>

<title>Search strategy</title>
<p>A comprehensive online search of the PubMed and Embase databases was performed for studies published up to June 1 2015 using the following search terms: &#x2018;CCND1&#x2019;, &#x2018;cyclin D1&#x2019;, &#x2018;colorectal cancer&#x2019;, &#x2018;colon cancer&#x2019;, &#x2018;rectum cancer&#x2019; and &#x2018;polymorphism&#x2019;. Additional studies were searched for from the references of the retrieved studies, or from review articles on this topic. The following criteria were used to include identified studies in this meta-analysis: (i) a case-control study of the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk; and (ii) sufficient data for estimating odds ratios (ORs) with 95&#x0025; confidence intervals (CIs). In cases of partly or completely overlapping data, only the latest study, or the study with the larger sample, was included (<xref rid="b13-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="b14-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>).</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Data extraction</title>
<p>The following data were extracted from all selected studies independently by two investigators (Xiao-Ming Xu and Xiao-Bing Ni): the first author&#x0027;s name, publication data, country origin, racial descent of the study population (Asian, Caucasian or mixed), sources of the controls, genotype distribution, genotyping methods, adherence to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), minor allele frequency (MAF) in controls, and tumor subtypes.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Statistical analysis</title>
<p>Five genotype models were evaluated based on ORs and 95&#x0025; CIs to assess the potential association between CCND1 G870A polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal cancer: An allele contrast model (A vs. G), a pair of co-dominant models (AA vs. GG and GA vs. GG), a dominant model (GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG) and a recessive model (AA vs. GG&#x002B;GA). Subgroup analyses were performed according to ethnicity and control design. The study heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran&#x0027;s Q statistic and the <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup> statistic (<xref rid="b15-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>). ORs were pooled using a random effects model with the inverse variance (I&#x2013;V) method (or the DerSimonian and Laird method) when statistical heterogeneity was identified to exist (P&#x003C;0.10 or <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>&#x003E;50&#x0025;) (<xref rid="b16-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>); otherwise, a fixed effects model (the Mantel-Haenszel method) was adopted (<xref rid="b17-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>).</p>
<p>Funnel plots and Egger&#x0027;s linear regression method were used to assess any possible publication bias (<xref rid="b18-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>). Cumulative meta-analyses were also performed to identify possible trends in the pooled estimate according to the publication year (<xref rid="b19-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>).</p>
<p>All statistical analyses were performed using Stata<sup>&#x00AE;</sup> version 11.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA). A two-sided P&#x003C;0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant value.</p>

<title>Study characteristics</title>
<p>A total of 101 associated studies were searched. During the first step, while screening the title and screening for duplicates, 65 studies were excluded. Of the remaining 36 articles, 13 were excluded since two were reviews, two did not include sufficient genotype data, five were not focused on the polymorphism locus, and four were on other molecular studies. The flow chart of study selection is shown in <xref rid="f1-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>. Ultimately, 23 published case-control studies met the inclusion criteria, including 6,320 patients with colorectal cancer and 8,352 controls (<xref rid="b11-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>,<xref rid="b20-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>&#x2013;<xref rid="b41-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>). The genotype distribution in each study is shown in <xref rid="tI-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="table">Table I</xref>. The diverse genotyping methods included polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism, PCR Sequenase&#x2122; and TaqMan<sup>&#x00AE;</sup>. Overall, the MAF in controls ranged between 0.412 and 0.614 in Caucasians, and between 0.182 and 0.634 in Asians. In only one study did the control population significantly deviate from the HWE (<xref rid="b29-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>).</p>

<title>Meta-analysis</title>
<p>The evaluation of the association between CCND1 G870A polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk is shown in <xref rid="tII-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="table">Table II</xref>. Overall, four of the genetic models revealed that the CCND1 G870A polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (A vs. G, OR=1.09, 95&#x0025; CI=1.00&#x2013;1.18, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=54.3&#x0025;; GA vs. GG, OR=1.13, 95&#x0025; CI=1.04&#x2013;1.24, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=18.2&#x0025;; AA vs. GG, OR=1.17, 95&#x0025; CI=1.00&#x2013;1.38, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=52.5&#x0025;; and GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG, OR=1.14, 95&#x0025; CI=1.05&#x2013;1.24, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=33.8&#x0025;; <xref rid="f2-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="fig">Fig. 2</xref>). Similarly, significant risk effects were detected in the subgroup analysis of patients with sporadic colorectal cancer (GA vs. GG, OR=1.21, 95&#x0025; CI=1.04&#x2013;1.42, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=24.1&#x0025;; GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG, OR=1.18, 95&#x0025; CI=1.02&#x2013;1.37, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=35.0&#x0025;) and Caucasians (GA vs. GG, OR=1.14, 95&#x0025; CI=1.02&#x2013;1.28, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=19.8&#x0025;; GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG, OR=1.14, 95&#x0025; CI=1.02&#x2013;1.27, <italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup>=37.5&#x0025;). Significantly increased risks were also detected in the stratified analysis of hospital-based studies and studies employing the PCR-PRFLP genotyping method (<xref rid="tII-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="table">Table II</xref>).</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Publication bias</title>
<p>No publication bias was detected in any of the five genetic models. The shape of the funnel plots appeared to be symmetrical for all models (the GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG model is shown in <xref rid="f3-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>), and Egger&#x0027;s test results supported these findings (for A vs. G: P=0.34; for GA vs. GG: P=0.67; for AA vs. GG: P=0.53; for AA&#x002B;GA vs. GG: P=0.47; and for AA vs. GG&#x002B;GA: P=0.49).</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Sensitivity analysis and cumulative analysis</title>
<p>Sensitivity analyses were performed, and the exclusion of no single study qualitatively changed the pooled ORs, indicating that the results of the present meta-analysis were stable (the data for the GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG model is shown in <xref rid="f4-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="fig">Fig. 4</xref>). Cumulative analyses according to the publication date revealed that the cancer risk increased gradually, and became positive, on inclusion of the study conducted by Talseth <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b39-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>) in 2008 (the GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG model is shown in <xref rid="f5-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="fig">Fig. 5</xref>).</p>

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>CCND1 is located on chromosome 11q13, and encodes a critical cell cycle regulatory protein of 295 amino acids. CCND1 regulates the transition from the G1 to the S phase during cell division. High levels of activity of CCND1 result in premature cell passage through the G1-S transition, leading to an extension of non-repaired DNA damage and the accumulation of genetic mistakes (<xref rid="b42-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>). Overexpression of CCND1 has been detected in several cancer types, which is also regarded as a risk factor for cancer development. Of the SNPs in CCND1, the G-to-A mutation is the most common, and does not result in an amino acid alteration in the protein sequence. However, the A allele change does lead to an alternatively spliced transcript of CCND1, with a longer half-life compared with the G allele, which facilitates the passage of the variant cell through the G1-S checkpoint and rapid proliferation, ultimately resulting in cancer development (<xref rid="b43-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>). Previous studies have shown that the A allele may be associated with an increased risk of breast, prostate, esophageal and other cancer types in different ethnicities (<xref rid="b44-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>&#x2013;<xref rid="b46-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>).</p>
<p>In 2000, the first case-control study performed by McKay <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b20-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>) failed to reveal any significant association between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and the risk of colorectal cancer in Caucasians. To date, conflicting data about the association between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and colorectal cancer susceptibility exist. Kong <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b21-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>) identified that the risk of developing colorectal cancer was 3-fold higher in Caucasians with a homozygous A allele (OR=2.68, 95&#x0025; CI=1.38&#x2013;5.19). The study by Jiang <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b27-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>) suggested that the AA genotype may increase the colorectal cancer risk compared with the GG&#x002B;AG genotype (OR=1.56, 95&#x0025; CI=1.10&#x2013;2.21) in an Indian population. Huang <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b29-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>) also identified a significant association between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and the risk of colorectal cancer in young Chinese patients. Notably, the mechanism of the G870A polymorphism differs according to ethnicity. Porter <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b23-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>) demonstrated an increased risk of familiar colorectal cancer of almost 2-fold (for GA&#x002B;AA vs. GG: OR=1.7, 95&#x0025; CI=1.1&#x2013;2.7) although the authors did not find any significant association with sporadic colorectal cancer in Caucasians. Le Marchand <italic>et al</italic> (<xref rid="b24-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>) reported a significantly increased risk in Hawaiian individuals with a heterozygous GA genotype (OR=3.9, 95&#x0025; CI=1.2&#x2013;13.2), and a marginal risk in Caucasians with a homozygous AA genotype (OR=2.1, 95&#x0025; CI=1.0&#x2013;4.3), although the authors did not find any significant association in a Japanese population. However, the studies by Bala, Schernhammer, Kr&#x00FC;ger and other research groups (<xref rid="b22-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="b25-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>,<xref rid="b28-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>,<xref rid="b31-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>,<xref rid="b33-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>&#x2013;<xref rid="b36-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>) failed to identify any significant association between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and colorectal cancer. By contrast, several studies revealed that the A allele exerts a protective function in the development of colorectal cancer (<xref rid="b26-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>,<xref rid="b30-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>,<xref rid="b37-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>,<xref rid="b38-mco-0-0-844" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>). The present meta-analysis, comprising 23 case control studies with 6,320 patients with colorectal cancer and 8,252 controls, explored the association between an increased risk of colorectal cancer and the CCND1 G870A polymorphism. The findings suggested that CCND1 exerts an important role in the development of colorectal cancer, particularly in Caucasians and in the development of sporadic colorectal cancer.</p>
<p>Several limitations of the present analysis should be acknowledged. First, the results are based on the unadjusted estimates, without the original data from the selected studies, and lack information on certain co-variables, including diet, smoking, drinking and other environmental factors. Secondly, small numbers of patients were included in the cancer subgroups, including cancer location and familiar hereditary, which prevented more precise conclusions from being drawn. The actual association could therefore be biased, and the analysis may not have enough statistical power with the current small sample size. Thirdly, the controls in several of the studies were hospital-based populations with other diseases, which could also result in a certain selection bias. Finally, the majority of the included studies were performed in Caucasian and Asian populations, without any reported studies in African populations; therefore, ethnicity may also result in a certain bias. Despite these limitations, the present meta-analysis included 23 published articles with the largest sample sizes and latest data. A cumulative analysis also demonstrated that the results of our meta-analysis were stable, which further confirm the reliability and validity of the present study.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the present meta-analysis suggested that the CCND1 G870A polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk of the development of colorectal cancer. Considering the limitations due to the small sample size, larger, well-designed case-control studies are required to further validate these findings.</p>
