摘要
Gastric cancer ranks fifth in both world prevalence and lethality, with a 5-year survival of less than 30%. HLA-G, a non-classical class I HLA gene, has emerged as a potential marker for cancer susceptibility and prognosis due to its immunomodulatory properties. Its level of expression is regulated by polymorphisms in the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) polymorphisms, which form various combined haplotypes (UTR-1 to -9). In this study, we examined HLA-G 3’UTR polymorphisms in paired tissue samples from 111 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and 119 healthy controls. Polymorphism analysis was performed using PCR and Sanger sequencing, followed by statistical analysis using SNPStats software. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression models. High-expressor HLA-G 3’UTR haplotypes (UTR-1 and UTR-6) were significantly associated with gastric cancer susceptibility, indicating a potential role in tumor immune evasion. Additionally, the 14 base pair insertion/deletion polymorphism (14bp I/D) emerged as a prognostic marker, with D/D genotype carriers showing lower survival rates compared to I/D and I/I genotype carriers. Our study highlights the clinical relevance of HLA-G polymorphisms in gastric cancer, suggesting their potential as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. Further elucidation of HLA-G-related pathways could lead to personalized treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes in gastric cancer.
