Overview of Gene Research
RNASEL, encoding ribonuclease L, is a terminal component of antiviral and Interferon (IFN) pathways in mammalian cells [4]. It functions in RNA turnover and is part of the 2',5'-oligoadenylate-synthetase-directed ribonuclease L pathway, which blocks viral transcription and degrades viral RNA to control viral replication [8]. Genetic studies, including those on its polymorphisms, are valuable in understanding its role in disease.
Regarding its association with diseases, numerous studies have explored the relationship between RNASEL gene polymorphisms and cancer risk. A meta-analysis of 40 studies found that rs627928 polymorphism may promote prostate cancer development in overall and white populations, while rs486907 was not associated with prostate cancer risk [1]. In Afro-Caribbeans, common variation in RNASEL or its inhibitor ABCE1 did not significantly contribute to prostate cancer risk [3]. A meta-analysis of 21 case-control studies suggested that the RNASEL-1385G/A (rs486907) polymorphism is associated with increased cancer risk in African descendants [6]. Another meta-analysis of 19 case-control studies showed that RNASEL Asp541Glu and Arg462Gln polymorphisms were not related to overall prostate cancer risk, especially in Caucasians, but the Asp541Glu polymorphism might be a risk factor for sporadic prostate cancer [7]. RNASEL:p.Glu265* may be a genetic modifier of risk for early-onset breast cancer in carriers of high-risk mutations [2]. Also, RNASEL and MIR146A SNP-SNP interaction may influence susceptibility to non-melanoma skin cancer, suggesting that RNASEL is controlled by miR-146a [5]. RNASEL germline variants Glu265X and Arg462Gln may contribute to the tumorigenesis of sporadic and familial pancreatic cancer [9].
In conclusion, RNASEL is crucial in antiviral and IFN pathways, playing a role in RNA turnover. Research on its polymorphisms through genetic models has revealed associations with various cancers, including prostate, breast, non-melanoma skin, and pancreatic cancer. These findings contribute to understanding the genetic basis of cancer susceptibility and potentially developing targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
