CYP1A1 Ile462Val polymorphism as a risk factor in cervical cancer development in the Polish population.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

There are inconsistent data of the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) Ile462Val (rs1048943) single nuclear polymorphism (SNP) as a genetic susceptibility factor for cervical cancer in various populations. Moreover, little is known about the interaction of this SNP with other risk factors, including contraceptive use, postmenopausal status, parity, and tobacco smoking.

Methods

Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to study the prevalence of the CYP1A1 Ile462Val SNP in women with cervical cancer (n = 456) and controls (n = 495).

Results

Logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, parity, oral contraceptive use, tobacco smoking, and menopausal status demonstrated that that the CYP1A1 Ile/Val polymorphism was not associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer in all patients. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for patients with the Ile/Val genotype vs. Ile/Ile genotype was 1.539 (95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.932-2.541, p = 0.091). However, an increase in cervical cancer risk was seen among patients with a positive history of tobacco smoking and parity. The adjusted OR for positive history of tobacco smoking with the Ile/Val vs. Ile/Ile genotypes was 2.978 (95 % CI 1.382-6.418, p = 0.0052). The adjusted OR for parity with the Ile/Val vs. Ile/Ile genotype was 1.739 (95 % CI 1.006-3.009, p = 0.0472).

Conclusion

Our genetic study suggests that the CYP1A1 Ile462Val SNP may be a risk factor for cervical cancer among patients with a positive history of tobacco smoking and parity.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Cytochrome P450 is one of the major drug metabolizing enzyme families and its role in metabolism of cancer drugs cannot be less emphasized. The association be- tween single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP1A1 and pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been investigated in several studies, but the results observed vary based on varied risk factors. The objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with the CYP1A1*2C [rs1048943: A>G] polymorphism in CML patients and its role in therapeutic response to imatinib mesylate (IM) affecting clinico-pathological parameters, in the Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In this case-control study, CYP1A1*2C was analysed in CML patients. After obtaining approval from the Ethics Committee of oncology hospital, we collected blood samples from 132 CML patients and 140 matched controls. Genom- ic DNA was extracted and all the samples were analysed for the presence of the CYP1A1*2C polymorphism using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, and we examined the relationship of genotypes with risk factors such as gender, age, phase of the disease and other clinical parameters. RESULTS:We observed a significant difference in the frequency distribution of CYP1A1*2C genotypes AA (38 vs. 16%, P=0.0001), AG (57 vs. 78%, P=0.0002) and GG (5 vs. 6%, P=0.6635) between patients and controls. In terms of response to IM therapy, significant variation was observed in the frequencies of AA vs AG in major (33 vs 67%) and poor (62 vs 31%) hematological responders, and AA vs AG in major (34 vs. 65%) and poor (78 vs. 22%) cytogenetic responders. However, the patients with the GG homozygous genotype did not show any significant therapeutic outcome. CONCLUSION:The higher frequency of AG in controls indicates that AG may play a protec- tive role against developing CML. We also found that patients with the AG genotype showed favorable treatment response towards imatinib therapy, indicating that this polymorphism could serve as a good therapeutic marker in predicting response to such therapy.
