Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the main cause of cancer-related deaths. Notch1 might play a part in tumorigenesis of lung cancer. Here we explored the relationship of three SNPs (rs3124599, rs3124607 and rs3124594) in Notch1 with the risk and the survival of lung cancer in non-smoking females, including 556 cases and 395 controls. Chi-square tests, logistic regression analysis and crossover analysis were conducted to estimate the association between SNPs and the risk of lung cancer and the interaction between SNPs and environmental exposure. Survival analysis was conducted to explore the association between SNPs and survival of lung cancer. The results demonstrated that the polymorphism of rs3124599 was associated with the susceptibility of lung cancer in recessive model (AA+AG vs. GG). Compared to the those with AA or AG genotype, individuals with GG genotype had a 1.562-fold increased risk of lung cancer (P = 0.023, OR = 1.562, 95% CI = 1.062-2.297). In stratified analysis, the GG genotype of rs3124599 would increase the risk of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (P = 0.011, OR = 2.167, 95% CI = 1.193-3.396). However, no significant interaction between rs3124599 and cooking oil fume exposure was observed either in addictive model or multiplicative model. The results of survival analysis showed there was no significant association between SNPs and prognosis of lung cancer (P = 0.949 for rs3124599, P = 0.508 for rs3124607, P = 0.884 for rs3124594). Our study might indicate that rs312599 in Notch1 may be a novel biomarker for SCLC risk in Chinese non-smoking females
