- Abstract
Background: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. CD86 (B7-2) is a costimulatory molecule on antigen-presenting cells and plays critical roles in tumor immunity. It has been reported that polymorphisms in CD86 gene can be involved in the development of various cancers. Here, we investigated the association of two CD86 polymorphisms, +1057G/A (rs1129055) and +2379G/C (rs17281995), with pancreatic cancer in the Chinese population. Methods: The two polymorphisms were identified in 369 pancreatic cancer patients and 412 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Data were analyzed by chi-square test and adjusted for body mass index, smoking, drinking, and diabetes status. Results: Results showed that the frequency of the +1057A allele was significantly higher in pancreatic cancer cases than in controls (59.8 vs. 52.8 %, p = 0.021). Comparison of genotype frequencies showed that +1057GA and +1057AA genotypes were significantly increased in the pancreatic cancer group (odds ratio (OR) = 1.52; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.09-2.38; p = 0.026; and OR = 1.90; 95 % CI, 1.21-3.01; p = 0.007). We did not find any association between the +2379G/C polymorphism and pancreatic cancer. Analysis of haplotypes indicated that the AG (+1057, +2379) haplotype was correlated with the susceptibility to this disease ( p = 0.019). Conclusions: These results suggest that the CD86 +1057G/A polymorphism and AG (+1057, +2379) haplotype are genetic risk factors for pancreatic cancer.
