Interactions between genetic variants and environmental factors influence malignancy risk, including for colorectal cancer (CRC). Prevalent CRC susceptibility loci reside predominantly in noncoding regulatory DNA where they may interact with dietary influences to dysregulate expression of specific genes predisposing to neoplasia. The impacts of CRC protective and risk dietary metabolites, butyrate and deoxycholic acid, were thus studied on the transcription-directing activity of 3703 regulatory CRC-associated variants via massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) in human colonic cells. 1595 variant-dietary metabolite interactions were identified, pointing to dysregulation of MED13L, NKD2, and several modulators of Wnt/{beta}-catenin signaling in potential CRC gene-environment interactions (GxE). Opposing impacts of butyrate and deoxycholic acid were also uncovered, indicating dietary influences may converge on common CRC risk loci and nominating FOSL1 and SP1 as mediators of these opposing responses. Coupling MPRA to relevant environmental factors offers an approach to extend insight into GxE in common human cancers.
