摘要

There have been few studies on the association between vitamin D levels and gastric cancer in Asian populations,but no studies have been performed on the interactions between vitamin D intake and polymorphisms in the vitamin Dpathway.The effects of vitamin D intake,vitamin D related genetic polymorphisms,and their association with the incidence of gastric cancer were investigated in a hospital case-control study,including 715 pairs of newly diagnosed gastric cancer patients and controls matched for age and sex.Correlations between vitamin D intake and plasma vitamin D concentrations were also assessed in a subset of subjects.No statistically significant difference was observed in the dietary intake of vitamin D between the patients and controls,nor were there any evident associations between vitamin D intake and risk of gastric cancer in multivariate analyses.Vitamin D intake significantly correlated with the circulating 2 5-hydroxyvitamin D levels,but not with the active form of the vitamin,1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.There were no statistically significant interactions between vitamin D intake,and VDR or TXNIP polymorphisms.This study suggests that dietary vitamin D intake is not associated with gastric cancer risk,and the genetic polymorphisms of vitamin D-related genes do not modulate the effect of vitamin D with respect to gastric carcinogenesis.
