Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays a pivotal role in cancer invasion and metastasis. Recently, experimental study has shown that MMP-9 is also implicated in early carcinogenesis. We hypothesized that MMP-9 polymorphisms influence the predisposition to develop renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To test the hypothesis, we determined MMP-9 C - 1562T and R279Q genotypes in Japanese RCC cases (n = 179) and controls (n = 211). Furthermore, we investigated the relationship between MMP-9 polymorphisms and clinicopathological features. The distribution of C - 1562T and R279Q genotypes was not significantly associated with the risk of RCC (odds ratio [OR] = 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.73-1.77 for - 1562 CT/TT genotypes versus CC genotype; OR = 1.29, 95% C1 = 0.86-1.93 for 279 RQ/QQ genotypes versus RR genotype). However, the distribution of R279Q genotypes was significantly associated with the histological grade (P < 0.01). The present results suggest that MMP9 R279Q polymorphism has influence on the malignant potential of RCC. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
