Relationships between the Osteocalcin Gene Polymorphisms, Serum Osteocalcin Levels, and Hepatitis B Virus-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma in a Chinese Population
BACKGROUND: Available evidence has demonstrated that osteocalcin may play a role in pathogenesis of cancer, and mutation of the osteocalcin gene may be involved in the cancer development. The aim of this study is to determine whether osteocalcin gene polymorphisms are associated with hepatitis B vir...

description | BACKGROUND: Available evidence has demonstrated that osteocalcin may play a role in pathogenesis of cancer, and mutation of the osteocalcin gene may be involved in the cancer development. The aim of this study is to determine whether osteocalcin gene polymorphisms are associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among Chinese population. METHODS: A total of 515 subjects were divided into four groups: 129 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 62 patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC), 154 patients with HBV-related HCC, and 170 healthy controls. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism strategy was used to detect osteocalcin gene rs1800247 and rs1543297 polymorphisms. RESULTS: Compared with healthy controls, the rs1800247 HH and Hh genotypes were associated with a significantly increased susceptibility to HCC (HH versus hh: OR = 6.828, 95% CI 2.620–17.795, P <0.001; Hh versus hh: OR = 6.306, 95% CI 3.480–11.423, P <0.001, respectively). Similarly, the subjects bearing the H allele of rs1800247 had more than a 2.4-fold increased risk for development of HCC (OR = 2.484, 95% CI 1.747–3.532, P <0.001) compared with those bearing the h allele. In addition, we found significant decreased serum osteocalcin levels in HBV-related HCC patients (11.73±8.18 ng/mL) compared with healthy controls (15.3±6.06 ng/mL). Furthermore, the serum osteocalcin levels were significantly lower in HCC patients than healthy controls among the individuals with heterozygous Hh genotype (P = 0.003) and CT genotype (P <0.001). In contrast, there were no significant differences in the genotype and allele of rs1543297 polymorphisms between the groups of patients and healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: These findings for the first time suggest that genetic variant in osteocalcin gene rs1800247 polymorphisms may be a risk factor for HBV-related HCC. We also find an inverse association of serum osteocalcin levels with HCC. |
