چکیده

Recent evidence suggests that common functional polymorphisms in the hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) gene may play an important role in the development and progression of digestive cancer, but individually published results are inconclusive. Our meta-analysis is aimed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationships between HIF-1α gene polymorphisms and digestive cancer risk. An extensive literature search for relevant studies was conducted on Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CBM databases from their inception through May 1, 2013. This meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 12.0 software. The crude odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Eight case-control studies were included with a total of 1276 digestive cancer patients and 3392 healthy controls. Our meta-analysis revealed that the A variant of HIF-1α G1790A polymorphism might be associated with increased risk of colorectal, esophageal, gastric, and liver cancers, especially among Asian populations. However, no statistically significant associations were found between HIF-1α C1772T polymorphism and susceptibility to digestive cancer. No publication bias was detected in this meta-analysis. The current meta-analysis suggests that the HIF-1α G1790A polymorphism may increase the risk of colorectal, esophageal, gastric, and liver cancers, especially among Asian populations.

Background: Breast cancer, which is a major cancer for women, affects the angiogenesis process. Exercise training can decrease the process of angiogenesis in tumor tissue. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of aerobic training on HIF-1α, miR-21 and VEGF gene expression in female Balb/c mice with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: 16 female Balb/c mice (age: 3...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate whether or not hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) gene variants are associated with the susceptibility and clinical characteristics of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD). METHODS We examined 320 patients with LDD and 447 gender- and age-matched control subjects. We also determined the HIF-1α gene variants, including C1772T (P582S) and G1790A (A588T) pol...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between advanced glycation end products ceceptor (RAGE) gene polymorphisms and the risk of inflammatory bowel disease

Background: In the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE) has been involved. IBD is classified into Chron’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The promoter gene of the RAGE gene was discovered to have had unique polymorphisms that increased its transcriptional activity. This study, therefore, used a systematic review and meta-...
