The study aimed to evaluate the association between MMP-2 promoter genotypes and PCa risk. The results showed no significant association between MMP-2 rs243865 and rs2285053 genotypes and PCa risk. These genotypes were also not associated with age or smoking status.
Background/Aim: Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies among males, especially in Western populations. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) plays a critical role in extracellular regulation and metastasis. However, its genotypes have seldom been examined among patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, the purpose of the study was to evaluate the association of genotypes at MMP-2 promoter-1306 (rs243865) and-735 (rs2285053) with PCa risk in a Taiwanese cohort. Materials and Methods: The profiles of MMP-2 rs243865 and rs2285053 genotypes were examined among 218 PCa patients and 436 healthy controls by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodologies. Results: The percentages of wild -type CC, and variant CT and TT genotypes on MMP-2 rs243865 were 88.5, 10.6, and 0.9% in the PCa case group and 85.6, 13.5, and 0.9% in the control group, respectively (p for trend=0.5544). The allelic frequency distribution showed that the variant T allele at MMP-2 rs24386 5 was not associated with PCa risk (p=0.3250). As for MMP-2 rs2285053, the results were also non-significant. In addition, there was no association between the genotypes of MMP-2 rs243865 or rs2285053 with age or smoking status on PCa risk. Conclusion: rs11568818 and rs11568819 at MMP-2 promoter region played minor roles in determining individual PCa risk.
