Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) is the most important member of the matrix metalloproteinase family. MMP2 digests the basement membrane and causes changes in the extracellular matrix which in turn facilitate cancer invasion. It, therefore, has a major role in tumor angiogenesis. Previous studies have identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism C/T at position -1306 of MMP2 gene promoter which is a key regulatory factor in cancer progression. AIM: The present study aimed to determine the association between MMP2 polymorphism and the risk of prostate cancer in Iranian men. METHODS: This case-control study was performed on 50 paraffin-embedded prostate cancer tissue samples and 54 blood samples from healthy men. Genotyping of the samples was performed using high-resolution melting analysis (HRM). Finally, 20 % of the genotypes were confirmed by sequencing. RESULTS: No significant associations were found between CT and TT genotypes and the risk of prostate cancer. However, there were no significant relationships between the genotypes and the studied factors, e.g., age, pathological stage, and Gleason Score. CONCLUSION: MMP2 -1306 C > T (rs243865) polymorphism was not significantly related with prostate cancer susceptibility in Iranian men.
