RELA mRNA Expression in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Correlation with rs11820062 Gene Variant

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Objective: To examine the distribution of RELA rs11820062 and its correlation to i mRNA expression in low-grade and high-grade EOC’s patients from Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General hospital, Indonesia. Methods: This study is cross-sectional with a total of 65 healthy subjects and 80 ovarian biopsies (15 ovarian cysts as expression calibrators, 36 low-grade EOC, and 29 high-grade EOC) were used in this study. The distribution of genotypes and alleles was analyzed using ARMS PCR. The mRNA expressions of RELA were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis. Results: There was no significant difference between genotype and allele distributions for RELA rs11820062 in normal and case group. RELA relative mRNA expression was significantly higher in low-grade and high-grade EOC compared to in ovarian cysts (p<0.01). RELA rs11820062 CC genotype correlated to higher RELA mRNA relative expression and the TT genotype of RELA rs11820062 correlated with lower RELA mRNA relative expression in low-grade and high-grade EOC. Conclusion: C allele in rs11820062 caused an increased expression of RELA mRNA, which individuals with CC genotype correlated with higher RELA expression in low-grade and high-grade EOC. In contrast, individuals with the T allele of RELA rs11820062 had a protective effect against EOC risk because the RELA TT genotype tended to have a lower RELA mRNA expression in EOC.
