These genes are components of the ATM-dependent DNA damage signalling pathways. To evaluate the hypothesis that variants in ATM itself might be associated with prostate cancer risk, we genotyped five ATM variants in DNA from 637 prostate cancer patients and 445 controls with no family history of cancer. No significant differences in the frequency of the variant alleles at 5557G 4 A (D1853N), 5558A 4 T (D1853V), ivs38-8t 4 c and ivs38-15g 4 c were found between the cases and controls. The 3161G (P1054R) variant allele was, however, significantly associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer (any G vs CC OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.17 – 3.87, P ¼ 0.016). A lymphoblastoid cell line carrying both the 3161G and the 2572C (858L) variant in the homozygote state shows a cell cycle progression profile after exposure to ionising radiation that is significantly different to that seen in cell lines carrying a wild-type ATM gene. These results provide evidence that the presence of common variants in the ATM gene, may confer an altered cellular phenotype, and that the ATM 3161C 4 G variant might be associated with prostate cancer risk.

The aetiology of prostate cancer is poorly understood. Prostate cancer is known to aggregate in families, indicating that genetic susceptibility may be important, but the genes involved are largely unknown. Linkage studies in multiple case families have suggested susceptibility loci on chromosomes 1q24, 1q42, 1p36, 8p22 – 23, 17p, 20q13 and Xq (see recent reviews by DeMarzo et al, 2003; Gronberg, 2003) but none have been definitively replicated. As a consequence of these linkage studies, variants in prostate cancer families have been identified in several genes including Macrophage Scavenger Receptor 1(MSR1), 2 0 -5 0 -oligoadenylate-dependent ribonuclease L (RNASEL) and ELAC2 (chromosome 17p11/HPC2 region) (re- viewed in Simard et al, 2003), but again none have been reliably associated with risk. Several independent studies have demonstrated that individuals with germline mutations in BRCA2 are at increased risk of prostate cancer (The Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium, 1999; Edwards et al, 2003; Giusti et al, 2003). There is also some evidence for an increased risk in carriers of BRCA1 mutations (Thompson et al, 2002). More recently, Seppala et al (2003) have found that the CHEK2 variant 1100delC, known to be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, is also associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, and Dong et al (2003) found that this and other missense variants in CHEK2 occurred at increased frequency in prostate cancer cases. The proteins encoded by the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes participate in the maintenance of genomic stability through their involvement in the homologous recombination pathway for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and transcription coupled repair and the CHEK2 protein is also involved in DNA damage signalling pathways. BRCA1 and CHEK2 are both phosphorylated in response to DNA damage in an ATM- dependent fashion (Matsuoka et al, 2000). Thus, we hypothesised that the ATM gene, whose protein functions upstream of these known susceptibility genes, could also be a mutation target in prostate cancer. In a preliminary study by Hall et al (1998), germline mutations in ATM were identified in three out of 17 (17.6%) prostate cancer *Correspondence: Dr J Hall; E-mail: hall@iarc.fr Received 10 February 2004; revised 13 April 2004; accepted 21 April 2004; published online 27 July 2004 ATM variants and prostate cancer risk S Ang`le et al 784 patients who showed a severe late response to radiation therapy and in whom most or all of the ATM gene was examined, while no such mutations were found in the control group. In this same study, the 5557G4A ATM sequence variant was found in 35% of cases compared with the reported population frequency of 15%. This variant has been found to modulate the penetrance of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer in carriers of germline MLH1 and MLH2 mutations (Maillet et al, 2000). Loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 11q, the location of the ATM gene, has also been reported in metastatic prostate carcinoma (Ruijter et al, 1999). In order to assess whether ATM variants play a pathogenic role in prostate cancer development, we compared the frequencies of five ATM single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 5557G4A, 5558A4T, 3161C4G, ivs38-8t4c, ivs38-15g4c in 618 British prostate cancer cases and 445 controls. In addition, the cellular phenotype of a lymphoblastoid cell line carrying the 3161G variant allele in a homozygote state was evaluated. PBS and frozen at 801C in citrate/sucrose/DMSO buffer (CycleTEST TM PLUS staining kit Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) until being evaluated. Just before analysis, the cells were resuspended in a trypsin solution for 10 min at room temperature, followed by the addition of RNAse buffer (10 min at room temperature) and stained with a solution of propidium iodide. The samples were subsequently analysed with a FACS Calibur flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson). The ModFit LT cell cycle analysis software was used to estimate percentage of cells in the G0 – G1, S and G2 – M phases. At least three independent experiments were done for each cell line and the G2/G1 ratios were calculated. DNA extraction DNA was extracted from blood samples by routine methods with the inclusion of a second proteinase K digestion at 501C (Edwards et al, 1997). DNA was dissolved in 0.2 – 0.4 ml of water (BDH, Poole, UK) and stored at 201C until required. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects Subjects were obtained from a study of prostate cancer cases treated at the Royal Marsden NHS Trust over the period 1993 – 2002, as previously described (Eeles et al, 1999). The patients were unselected for age or family history. The current study included 637 Caucasian cases diagnosed between ages 43 and 86 years. ATM SNP analysis The frequency of the ATM SNPs was assessed using either high- performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the appropriate ATM fragment. For DHPLC analysis, PCRs of 40 ml were performed in 96-well plates to amplify two regions using the primers listed in Table 1. Each PCR contained 25 ng DNA, 200 m M each dNTP, 3 m M MgCl 2 , 0.4 m M primer and 1.5 U Platinum Taq polymerase (InVitrogen SARL, Cergy Pontoise, France). The cycling conditions were 941C 5 min, followed by 35 cycles of 941C30s,521C (exon 24) or 571C (exon 39) 30 s, 721C 30 s, with a final extension at 721C for 5 min. The PCR products were denatured for 5 min at 951C and then slowly cooled to permit reannealing and formation of homo- duplexes and heteroduplexes. DHPLC analysis of exon 24 (containing the 3161C4G variant) and exon 39 (containing the 5557G4A, 5558A4T, ivs38-8t4c and ivs38-15g4c variants) was performed on a WAVE DNA Fragment Analysis System (Transgenomic, Omaha, NE, USA). Buffer gradient and temperature conditions were calculated using the WAVEmaker software (version 3.4.4. Transgenomic). In order to establish whether the homoduplexes contained a wild-type or variant sequence, a second DHPLC analysis was carried out mixing these samples with a DNA sample containing a wild-type sequence. For all samples displaying aberrant DHPLC chromatograms, the PCR was repeated and the sequences of these PCR products determined using an ABI 3100 Genetic Analyser. The primers used for sequencing were the forward and reverse PCR primers in Table 1. The frequency of the 3161C4G SNP was assessed in the DNAs of all the controls and 226 of the cases using restriction endonuclease digestion making use of the fact that this SNP occurs at a naturally occurring AlwI site (Table 1). The PCRs were carried out in a total volume of 25 ml containing 25 ng DNA, 100 m M each dNTP, 2 m M MgCl 2, 0.4 m M primer and 1.5 U Platinum Taq polymerase (InVitrogen SARL, Cergy Pontoise, France). The cycling conditions were 941C 5 min, followed by 40 cycles of 941C30s,591C30s,721C 30 s, with a final extension at 721C for 5 min. The PCR product was digested with AlwI according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the fragments analysed by electrophoresis on a 3% NuSieve agarose gel. DNA samples known to be carrying the mutant allele were included in each analysis, with the genotype of the samples being determined by the banding pattern observed on the gels (the 494 bp PCR product being cut into 305 and 189 bp fragments if the wild-type allele is present). A random sample of DNAs was also analysed by direct sequencing of Controls Controls were recruited from two series. Series one comprised of spouses of patients enrolled in a population-based study of colorectal cancer in the UK (84 males, 86 females) Series 2 (n ¼ 275) were male controls from a different population-based case – control study of early-onset prostate cancer. These controls were chosen from the same general practitioners as controls in the case – control study, and were therefore recruited from across the UK. Controls had no personal history of cancer. Individuals whose ethnic group was recorded as non-white were excluded from both the case and control series. Lymphoblastoid cell lines A lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) (HA220) was established by infection with Epstein – Barr virus from a breast cancer patient carrying the ATM 3161G variant in the homozygous state. This individual carried none of the other SNPs investigated in this present study; however, the 2572T4C variant, which is in strong linkage disequilibrium with 3161C4G, was also present. LCLs from a subject with a wild-type ATM gene (IARC 1104) and a classical AT patient carrying truncating mutations on both alleles (IARC AT11 Q2002X; Q2714X) were used for comparative purposes in this study. These two lines were obtained from Dr G Lenoir. The cells were routinely maintained at 371Cin5%CO 2 in RPMI 1640 Glutamax-1 medium (Gibco, Invitrogen Corporation, Cergy-Pontoise, France) containing 10% heat-inactivated foetal calf serum (Integro b.v.i, Zaandan, Holland) and 1% penicillin/ streptomycin (Biochrom AG, Berlin, Germany). Cell cycle distribution by flow cytometry Two flasks were set-up containing 20 ml of stock cultures (5 10 5 cells ml 1 ). One flask served as an unirradiated control and the second was treated with 5 Gy of ionising radiation from a Cs 137 source. A volume of 4 ml was harvested immediately from each flask (time 0 h) and then 24 and 48 h postirradiation. The cells were centrifuged at 1100 r.p.m. for 5 min at 41C, washed once in British Journal of Cancer (2004) 91(4), 783 – 787 & 2004 Cancer Research UK ATM variants and prostate cancer risk S Ang`le et al 785 Table 1 Primers and restriction enzymes for ATM exon and SNP analysis ATM exon or SNP Technique Primers Restriction enzyme and digestion conditions Exon 39 DHPLC Forward: 5 0 -GGCAGATTAATCTATCATCTTTTAGA-3 0 Reverse: 5 0 -ATTCTGTTTCATTATGGTAATGGC-3’ Fragment size 372 bp Exon 24 DHPLC Forward: 5 0 -TTCATATTCAACCACAGTTC-3 0 Reverse : 5 0 -TGTAAGACATTCTACTGCCATC-3 0 Fragment size 224 bp 3161C 4 G (P1054R) RFLP Forward: 5 0 -AGCACAGAAAGACATATTGGAAG-3 0 o/n at 37 1 C10UAlwI Reverse: 5 0 -ACTATGTAAGACATTCTACTGCC-3 0 Fragment size 494 bp Table 2 Association between ATM SNPs and prostate cancer Rare allele frequency SNP Controls Cases Cases (%) Controls (%) OR 95% CI or FCI P-value 5557G 4 A 0.166 0.151 GG 457 (72.7) 309 (69.4) 1 0.87 – 1.16 GA 153 (24.4) 124 (27.9) 0.83 0.66 – 1.06 AA 18 (2.9) 12 (2.7) 1.01 0.49 – 2.11 0.43 5558A 4 T 0.005 0.004 AA 623 (99.2) 440 (99) 1 AT 5 (0.8) 4 (1) 0.88 0.24 – 3.31 0.85 ivs38-8t 4 c 0.036 0.036 TT 585 (93.2) 414 (93.0) 1 TC 41 (6.5) 30 (6.7) CC 2 (0.3) 1 (0.3) C carriers 43 (6.8) 31 (7.0) 0.98 0.60 – 1.58 0.96 ivs38-15g 4 c 0.004 0.008 GG 618 (98.4) 441 (99.1) 1 GC 10 (1.6) 4 (0.9) 1.78 0.55 – 5.72 0.32 3161C 4 G 0.018 0.038 CC 578 (92.6) 402 (96.4) 1 CG 45 (7.2) 15 (3.6) GG 1 (0.2) 0 (0) G carriers 46 (7.4) 15 (3.6) 2.13 1.17 – 3.87 0.016 the corresponding exon and complete concordance between the different techniques was observed (data not presented). was 628 and 445, respectively. The frequencies of the variant alleles 5557A, 5558T and 3161G are in good agreement with previous studies in the Caucasian population (Dork et al, 2001; Spurdle et al, 2002; Mauget-Faysse et al, 2003). The frequency of the intronic SNPs ivs38-15g4c (Thorstenson et al, 2001) and ivs38-8t4c (Sandoval et al, 1999) have previously only been determined in a small number of individuals. The ivs38-15 is the rarer of the two variants, the c allele being present at an allele frequency of 0.004, while the ivs38-8c allele is found at a frequency of 0.036. In agreement with previous observations, the ivs38-8t4c variant was in strong linkage disequilibrium with the G5557A variant. The allele frequency did not differ significantly between the two series of controls, or between male and female controls, for any of the SNPs examined. We therefore combined our control series for the main analysis. We found no significant differences in the genotype distribution between cases and controls for the SNPs 5557, 5558, ivs38-8 and ivs38-15. The 3161G allele was, however, associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer (any G vs CC OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.17 – 3.87; P ¼ 0.016) (Table 2). A lymphoblastoid cell line carrying both the 3161G variant in the homozygote state and the 2572T4C variant in exon 19 (F858L), which are in strong linkage disequilibrium, was available. The line originated from a German breast cancer patient who was diagnosed at age 38 and suffered from a local relapse by age 40. Her father died from prostate cancer, but she had no family history of breast cancer. ATM protein was found to be expressed at Statistical methods Analyses of genotype frequencies for each polymorphism were based on all cases and controls successfully typed for each polymorphism. Departures from Hardy – Weinberg equilibrium were assessed by comparing the observed and expected genotype frequencies. Differences in genotype frequencies between cases and controls were tested using standard w 2 -tests. Odds ratios (OR) and confidence limits (CI) were calculated by standard methods. For the 5557G4A polymorphism where there was more than two genotypes, 95% floating confidence limits (FCIs) were also computed as suggested by Easton et al (1991). An ANOVA analysis was used to compare the G2/G1 ratios between the control, AT and HA220 cell lines and a t-test to compare the results obtained for HA220 and the group of six control cell lines. All computations were calculated using STATA version 7.0 (Stata Corporation). RESULTS The genotype frequencies for the five SNPs in cases and controls, with corresponding ORs, are shown in Table 2. The maximum number of cases and controls for whom a genotype was available & 2004 Cancer Research UK British Journal of Cancer (2004) 91(4), 783 – 787 ATM variants and prostate cancer risk S Ang`le et al 786 70 cannot be definitively excluded. This is particularly true of the 5558A4T and ivs38-15g4c variants, which are rare and for which the upper 95% CI on the OR exceeds 3. Assuming that the association between 3161G variant allele and prostate cancer is not due to chance, there are essentially three possible explanations for the association: a difference in frequency between the populations from which the cases and controls were drawn (population stratification), linkage disequilibrium or a true causal association. Although population stratification remains a possibility, the similarity in frequency between the two control groups, and the fact that one of the control groups were chosen from the general practitioners of prostate cancer cases makes this less likely. To distinguish between a causal association and linkage disequilibrium, it would be necessary to evaluate all variants occurring on the same haplotype as 3161G. Strong linkage disequilibrium has been found between 3161G (P1054R) and the variant allele at 2572C (F858L). It has also been found to occur in cis to the splicing mutation 3576G to A found in some AT patients of South or South East European descent (Sandoval et al, 1999) although this splicing mutation was neither present in the patient HA220 nor in any other breast cancer patient carrying the 3161G allele (Dork et al, 2001). There may, however, be other variants on this haplotype (including noncoding alterations) that have not been studied. The 3161G4C variant is located in the b-adaptin domain of the ATM protein and has been suggested to be linked to an increased cancer risk (Vorechovsky et al, 1996, 1999). It has been reported as a pathogenic mutation in a B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia patient (Stankovic et al, 1999). Larson et al (1997/8) found that the variant genotype was present in 13.6% of breast cancers with an affected sister, compared with 3.5% of breast cancers without a family history and 3.2% of the controls. The results from subsequent breast cancer studies do not provide strong support for this association (Dork et al, 2001; Sommer et al, 2002; Spurdle et al, 2002). A combined analysis of these three studies, however, provides some suggestion of an association between 3161G and breast cancer risk (OR after stratification by study 1.34, 95% CI 0.99 – 1.83). Dork et al (2001) found a higher proportion of node-positive tumours was observed in P1054R heterozygous breast cancer patients (P o 0.01) suggesting that this ATM variant could modulate the course or prognosis of breast carcinoma. Interestingly, the LCL established from a homozygous carrier of the 3161G allele shows a cell cycle progression profile with time after exposure to ionising radiation that is intermediate between that seen for LCLs carrying a wild-type or a mutant ATM gene. In addition, this line and five other LCLs established from breast cancer patients carrying the linked 2572T4C and 3161 C4G variants in the heterozygous state had higher levels of micronuclei induction after exposure to ionising radiation compared with LCLs with a wild-type ATM gene (Guti ´ rrez- Enr ´ quez et al, 2004) suggesting that the presence of this variant may influence the cellular response after exposure to ionising radiation. 60 50 40 T 0 h 30 20 10 0 G0 − G1 S G2 − M G0 − G1 S G2 − M G0 − G1 S G2 − M 70 60 50 40 T 24 h 30 20 10 0 G0 − G1 S G2 − M G0 − G1 S G2 − M G0 − G1 S G2 − M 80 70 60 50 T 48 h 40 30 20 10 0 G0 − G1 S G2 − M G0 − G1 S G2 − M G0 − G1 S G2 − M 1104 Control LCL HA220 3161G homozygote LCL AT 11 AT LCL Figure 1 Cell cycle analysis at 0, 24 and 48 h after exposure to 5 Gy ionising radiation in LCLs carrying either a wild-type ATM (IARC 1104) or a mutated ATM (AT11) or the linked 3161G and 2572C ATM variants in the homozygote state (HA220). wild-type levels in the line HA220 as revealed by immunoblotting (data not shown). The cell cycle profile after exposure to 5 Gy was determined in this lymphoblastoid line (HA220) in com- parison with a LCL carrying a wild-type or a mutant ATM gene. At zero time (T 0h Figure 1) there was no differences in the proportion of cells in the different phases of the cell cycle and thus in the G2/G1 ratios between HA220, the control and AT cell lines. After exposure to 5 Gy of ionising radiation the G2/G1 ratio, representative of the percentage of cells which accumulate in G2, is significantly higher in the AT line, IARC AT11, than the control line, IARC 1104 at both 24 h (P ¼ 0.001) and 48 h (P ¼ 0.000014). The ANOVA analysis of the observed cellular response, adjusted for time, for HA220 shows that it is intermediate between that seen in these two cell types. The G2/ G1 ratio was significantly higher than that seen in the control cell line after exposure (G2/G1 HA220 vs IARC 1104 P ¼ 0.033) yet lower than that seen in the AT line (G2/G1HA220 vs IARC AT11 P ¼ 0.000005). When this profile is compared with the results obtained from the analysis of six cell lines carrying a wild-type ATM gene assayed under similar conditions (Ang ` le et al, 2003) the response in HA220 it is not statistically different 24 h after exposure to ionising radiation. However, at 48 h postirradiation there was significantly more cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle than in the treated control cell lines (HA220 vs control cell lines 48.62 7 3.47 vs 41.22 7 4.63% P ¼ 0.0296 (t-test) full data set not shown).

DISCUSSION We have investigated the possible association between five ATM sequence variants and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Of the SNPs investigated, we found evidence for an association with prostate cancer only for the 3161C4G (1054P4R) variant. This association, while significant at the 0.016 level, is not definitive and will require further evaluation in other case – control studies.
