Introduction

Epidemiology and aetiology of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide [1, 2]. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2020 a total of 1,931,590 new cases were diagnosed and there were 935,173 deaths, which ranks colorectal cancer in second place in terms of lethality [3]. Worldwide, the areas with higher prevalence of CRC per 100,000 citizens are in central Europe [4]. The highest overall rates of colorectal cancer equals were observed in Hungary and Slovakia reaching 45.3/100 000 and 43.9/100 000 citizens, respectively [5]. It was also shown that there is a higher incidence of cancer located in the colon than in the rectum [6]. Moreover, it was also observed that the risk of CRC development increases in the fourth decade of life, and the peak of incidence occurs after the age of 80 years [7]. Over the past 20 years, research has been presented analysing the impact of diet and lifestyle on the development of CRC. World Cancer Research Fund International (WCRF) provided evidence that tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption significantly increase the risk of CRC [8]. Additionally, low physical activity, obesity, and metabolic syndrome increases the risk of cancer. Also, the dietary habits are the main factor predisposing to CRC development. A diet that is low in fibre, rich in red meat, poor in antioxidants, and rich in saturated fat plays a crucial role [9–12]. It is believed that high consumption of myoglobin could increase the risk of CRC via methylation [13, 14].
Approximately 5% of CRC cases are driven by germline mutations [15]. The germline mutations classified as CRC susceptibility genes are predominantly identified in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes, adenomatous Polyposis coli (APC) gene, and E. coli MutY homologue (MUTYH) [15, 16]. Over the past few years, the development of next generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled analysis of the whole gene panel. As a result, the new genes are classified as CRC susceptibility genes. It was also suggested that mutations in gene-encoded enzymes involved in folate metabolism may play an important role in CRC development [17].
Methionine synthetase in methylation process
The methionine synthetase (MTR) gene is located on 1q43. The enzyme catalyses the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine [17]. Methionine metabolism is crucial for many biochemical processes including gene silencing, proliferation through DNA, protein, and phospholipid methylation [18]. The 2 most common patterns of DNA methylation-dependent carcinogenesis are gene-specific hypermethylation and entire DNA hypomethylation [19]. Foliate metabolism is predominantly based on regulation of DNA synthesis and methylation. The role of the methionine synthase (MTR) is catalysing the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine in a cobalamine-dependent reaction, which utilises methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) as a methyl donor. Mutations in MTR and other links of this metabolic pathway like MTHFR, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase reductase (MTRR), and serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) are gaining increasing prominence in numerous clinical trials investigating the etiopathogenesis of colon cancer [20]. It has already been shown that polymorphism resulting in a change of aminoacidic glycine to aspartic acid – NM_000254.3(MTR):c.2756A>G (p.Asp919Gly), (rs1805087) – leads to lower enzyme activity. The consequence of the amino acid change is homocysteine elevation and DNA hypomethylation [21]. It is considered that variant c.2756A>G of the MTR gene is associated with the risk and course of various cancers (e.g. breast, colorectal, or thyroid) [22–24]. The aim of the study was to analyse the association of MTR variants with CRC in respect of dietary patterns and health conditions.
Study population and sample collection
This multicentre study was based on cases selected in Holy Cross Cancer Centre, Kielce, Poland and the Regional Hospital in Kielce, Poland. Healthy controls were selected at the Regional Hospital in Kielce, Poland. All CRC diagnoses were recoded according to the eighth edition UICC classification. Moreover, all sampling was conducted from 2014 to 2017. Finally, 191 patients diagnosed with CRC and 93 controls comprised the study cohort.
DNA sampling
The peripheral vain blood was placed into EDTA coated tubes. Then, the material was stored at –80ºC and biobanked. The genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples using the automatic nucleic acid extractor and genomic DNA whole blood kit (Magcore®, RBC BioScience, New Taipei City, Taiwan). Purity and concentration of isolated DNA were evaluated spectrophotometrically (DeNovix, DeNovix Inc.).
Genotype analysis of the MTR
For genotyping of MTR c.2756A>G (rs1805087), c.3518C>T (rs121913578), c.1753C>T (rs121913580), and c.1228G>C (rs121913582) variant TaqMan SNP Genotyping assays (Thermo Fischer Scientific) were used. The amplification and detection procedure were carried out in a total reaction volume of 10 µl, containing 5 µl TaqPathTM ProAmpTM Master Mix (Applied Biosystems), 0.5 µl TaqMan® SNP genotyping assay (20´) (Thermo Fischer Scientific), 1.5 µl genomic DNA (10 ng), and 3.5 µl nuclease-free water (Thermo Fischer Scientific). The PCR amplification was conducted using Rotor-Gene Q (Qiagen) with an initial step of 95°C for 10 min followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 60 s.
Dietary assessment
The frequency of red meat consumption was assessed with the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ-6) [https://www.uwm.edu.pl/edu/lidiawadolowska/html/ffq6.html] used in our previous research [25]. The questions concerned the usual frequency of red meat consumption, including the method of preparation (roasting, frying, braising, grilling). The questionnaire was completed independently by the patients after prior instructions from a nurse trained to participate in the project. We analysed the frequency of the consumption (meal per week) as well as the estimated quantity of meat consumption (g/day) estimated based on the weight of standard dietary portions.
Statistical analysis
Categorical data were expressed as number and percentage distributions. The presented results were prepared using adequate statistical tests of Statistica version 13.3 (TIBCO Software Inc.), and p < 0.05 meant statistically significant. The normality of the distribution was checked with the Shapiro-Wilk test. In the case of a skewed distribution and variables on a quantitative scale, the Mann-Whitney U test was used. For variables on a nominal scale, the χ2 test (chi-square test) was used with the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure when necessary. The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium assumption was assessed by comparing the genotype frequencies with those expected based on the observed frequencies. The visualisation was prepared in GraphPad Prism 6 Ink.

Results

The DNA samples from CRC patients (n = 191) and healthy volunteers (n = 93) were analysed. In both groups, diet (red meat consumption) and genotype (MTR rs1805087, rs121913578, rs121913580, rs121913582) were included in the study. The demographic distribution including age, gender, weight, and BMI is shown in Table 1.
In both groups (patients and controls), the distribution of variants in MTR gene was analysed. There were no cases of MTR rs121913582, rs121913580, or rs121913578 mutations in both groups. There was no statistically significant relationship between the occurrence of MTR c.2756A>G polymorphism and risk of colorectal cancer (p > 0.05; χ2 test). The genotype frequencies of the study group were in agreement with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the MTR c.2756A>G. The data are shown in Table 2. The localisation of the cancer and cancer grade were analysed in respect of the genotype, and no statistically significant differences were shown (Figures 1 A, B) (p > 0.05; χ2 test; p > 0.05; χ2 test with Benjamini Hochberg’s procedure, respectively).
We also analysed daily [g/day] red meat consumption in both groups. Analysing the raw data, there were no significant differences in red meat consumption (p > 0.05; U Mann-Whitney test) (Figure 2).
Therefore, we divided the meat consumption into 4 levels: low (0–50 g/day), medium (51–100 g/day), high (101–150 g/day), and very high (> 151 g/day). There was a significant difference between all classes compared to low daily red meat consumption (p < 0.05; χ2 test with Benjamini Hochberg’s procedure). The odds ratio (OR) was also determined. The data are shown in Table 3. Meat consumption in relation to the genotype in patients and the study group is shown in Table 4.

Discussion

The gene expression can be modified epigenetically or by DNA mutations. The main epigenetic modifications are DNA methylation and histone modification, which change the DNA accessibility and chromatin structure, thereby regulating patterns of gene expression [26]. It was already shown that methionine metabolism plays a crucial role in DNA methylation via the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of cysteine residues that are linked by a phosphate to a guanine nucleotide (CpG nucleotide). The mutations in the MTR gene, which encodes one of the proteins involved in folate metabolism, may contribute to various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cancers, foetus malformation, and other congenital anomalies [27]. A lack of folates in the diet may increase the risk of colorectal cancer, as well as red meat consumption [25]. The mechanism of the latter is still unknown. It has been suggested that the red meat compound may act as a mutagenic and/or carcinogenic compound [28]. On the other hand, cancers are multifactorial diseases, in which the initial molecular hit could provoke the start and progression of cell proliferation. In our study we analysed a known factor that may predispose to CRC – red meat consumption and genetic factor – the MTR variant (rs1805087). Polymorphisms in genes involved in metabolic pathways of foliate, methionine, and homocysteine metabolism have been seen with different frequencies, depending on the population and geographic origin. The NM_000254.3(MTR):c.2756A>G (p.Asp919Gly) polymorphism appeared in the European population with a frequency of ƒ = 0.2 according to the Varsome website (https://varsome.com/). In our study the allele frequency was the same (ƒ = 0.21) (Table 2). The frequencies of the genotype were also correlated with CRC localisation and grade (Figure 1), but no correlation was found. Colorectal cancer is more often localised in the colon than in the rectum, but there is no known genetic factor to explain this observation. The genetic factor may play a different role, the known prognostic factors in CRC are the mutations in APC, KRAS, and TP53 associated with microsatellite instability [29].
The MTR polymorphism is suggested to be a prognostic factor in cancer surveillance. Sarbia et al. [30] suggested that that multimodally treated oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients with the MTR c.2759 AG/GG genotypes may have better survival than individuals with the MTR c.2756 AA genotype. Analysing variants in other genes of foliate metabolism. Jokić et al. [31] presented the conclusion that genotypes MTHFR c.677C>T and the MTR c.2756A>G would have been specific for patients younger than 50 years old. In our study there was no correlation (data not shown), and polymorphism MTR c.2756A>G was more common in patients with undifferentiated tumours. According to Guimarães et al. [32], individuals with the MTHFR c.1298A>C genotype and combination of MTHFR c.1298A>C plus MTRR c.66A>G were more likely to develop rectal cancer (1.42, 3.07-fold) than those with the MTHFR c.677C>T, MTHFR c.677C>T plus double-(2R) and triple-repeated (3R) sequences of 5’-untranslated region with thymidylate synthase gene (TS) and higher risk of colon cancer (1.55, 5.39-fold). Simultaneously carries of only one polymorphism (MTHFR c.1298A>C, MTHFR c.677C>T, MTR c.2756A>G, MTRR c.66A>G, TS R2/R3) polymorphisms present no increased risk of sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma (SCA) development. Previous literature showed that MTHFR c.1298A>C, MTHFR c.677C>T, MTR c.2756A>G, TS 2R/3R, and MTRR c.66A>G might play a role in preventing colon carcinogenesis [32, 33]. Wettergren et al. [33] found a possible link between germ line polymorphisms in the folate- and methyl-associated genes and p16 hypermethylation. The correlation between tumour-suppressor gene, which acts like a negative regulator of cell growth, and proliferation in the G1 phase of the cell cycle suggest the influence of the foliate metabolism gene and survival. This correlation was not observed in a case of the MTR variant.
We also analysed the linkage between genetic factors, red meat consumption, and the risk of colorectal cancer. The analysis indicates a lack of dependency between these factors concomitantly. The study of the influence of red meat consumption confirmed that it is a carcinogenetic factor. According to the instability trail observed in the majority (65–70%) of spontaneous cases of colorectal cancer, the rate of mutations per nucleotide base pair is estimated to be as low as 10−9 per cellular generation [31]. The compound of red meat may indicate mutagenesis, and there are several biological mechanisms that may explain the association with colorectal cancer [34]. In our study the daily intake of red meat was the crucial risk factor in carcinogenesis. It was shown that red meat consumption classified as medium (51–100 g/day), high (101–150 g/day), and very high (> 151g/day) was associated with higher risk of CRC, and it amounted to 23.9%, 27.7%, and 29.3%, respectively, compared to low meat consumption (< 50 g/day). Similar results were presented worldwide [35–37]. Moreover, the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) recommends that the intake of red meat is limited to less than 3 portions weekly, corresponding to approximately 350–500 g of cooked weight [38]. The differences between those levels are related to the number of participants and differences in the East European diet. It should be mentioned that red meat is a valuable source of nutrients, particular protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which is why the recommendation is not to completely avoid eating meat. It is widely known that colorectal cancer is a multifactor disease, so there is a need to analyse more data like supplementation, dietary habits, physical activity, and genetic factors.
The present study did not find any association between MTR c.2756A>G, red meat consumption, and risk of colorectal cancer, but we confirmed that red meat consumption may increase the risk of cancer development.
Study limitations: The relatively small number of respondents in the specific group of cancer grade and TNM classification.

Conclusions

Red meat consumption greater than 50 g/day increases the risk of colorectal cancer by approximately 20%. There is no correlation between MTR variant and CRC risk as well as the CRC localisation.
