Abstrakt: Background: Ferroptosis is a known crucial player in the development of cancers. However, the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ferroptosis-related genes on survival in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) patients remains unknown.
Methods: We used two-stage multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to estimate the associations between 48,774 SNPs in 480 ferroptosis-related genes and overall survival (OS) of 866 HBV-HCC patients.
Results: We identified that two potentially functional SNPs (CREB3 rs10814274 C > T and GALNT14 rs17010547 T > C) were significantly independently associated with the OS of HBV-HCC patients (CT + TT verse CC, hazards ratio (HR) = 0.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.67-0.89, p < 0.001 for rs10814274 and TC + CC verse TT, HR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.53-0.82, p < 0.001 for rs17010547, respectively). Additional joint assessment of protective genotypes of these two SNPs showed that patients with 1-2 protective genotypes had a significantly better OS compared with those carrying 0 protective genotypes (HR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.45-0.70, p < 0.001). Moreover, the expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis revealed that the survival-associated SNP rs10814274 T allele was significantly correlated with reduced CREB3 transcript levels in both normal liver tissues and whole blood cells, while the GALNT14 rs17010547 C allele had a significant correlation with increased GALNT14 transcript levels in whole blood cells.
Conclusion: These results suggest that genetic variants of CREB3 and GALNT14 may affect the survival of HBV-HCC patients, likely via transcriptional regulation of respective genes. However, further studies are required to confirm these findings.
