Combined GSTM1-Null, GSTT1-Active, GSTA1 Low-Activity and GSTP1-Variant Genotype Is Associated with Increased Risk of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate specific glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene variants as determinants of risk in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cRCC), independently or simultaneously with established RCC risk factors, as well as to discern whether phenotype changes reflect genotype-associated risk. GSTA1, GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1 genotypes were determined in 199 cRCC patients and 274 matched controls. Benzo(a)pyrene diolepoxide (BPDE)-DNA adducts were determined in DNA samples obtained from cRCC patients by ELISA method. Significant association between GST genotype and risk of cRCC development was found for the GSTM1-null and GSTP1-variant genotype (p = 0.02 and p<0.001, respectively). Furthermore, 22% of all recruited cRCC patients were carriers of combined GSTM1-null, GSTT1-active, GSTA1-low activity and GSTP1-variant genotype, exhibiting 9.32-fold elevated cRCC risk compared to the reference genotype combination (p = 0.04). Significant association between GST genotype and cRCC risk in smokers was found only for the GSTP1 genotype, while GSTM1-null/GSTP1-variant/GSTA1 low-activity genotype combination was present in 94% of smokers with cRCC, increasing the risk of cRCC up to 7.57 (p = 0.02). Furthermore, cRCC smokers with GSTM1-null genotype had significantly higher concentration of BPDE-DNA adducts in comparison with GSTM1-active cRCC smokers (p = 0.05). GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTA1 and GSTP1 polymorphisms might be associated with the risk of cRCC, with special emphasis on GSTM1-null and GSTP1-variant genotypes. Combined GSTM1-null, GSTT1-active, GSTA1 low activity and GSTP1-variant genotypes might be considered as "risk-carrying genotype combination" in cRCC.

Project description:BackgroundIt is well known that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been one of the most life-threatening diseases all over the world. Plenty of internal and extrinsic factors have been proven to be related to HCC, such as gene mutation, viral hepatitis, and Nitrosamines. Though previous studies demonstrated that glutathione S-transferase (GST) genotypes are associated with HCC, the conclusions are inconsistent. Therefore, we carried on a renewed meta-analysis to expound the connection between the null GSTM1, GSTT1 polymorphisms and the risk of HCC.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and CNKI databases to select qualified researches which satisfied the inclusion criteria up to July 31, 2018. Finally, we selected 41 articles with 6124 cases and 9781 controls in this meta-analysis. We use ORs and 95% confidence interval (CI) to evaluate the correlation intension between the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genes and the risk of HCC. All the statistical processes were executed by Stata (version 12.0).ResultsThe pooled analysis showed that both GSTM1 null genotypes (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.18-1.59) and GSTT1 null genotypes (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.23-1.66) increased the risk of HCC. And GSTM1-GSTT1 dual-null genotypes also increased the risk of HCC (OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.22-2.05). In the subgroup analysis, we obtained significant results among Asians when stratified by race, and the results are GSTM1 null OR = 1.44, 95% CI = (1.22-1.71), GSTT1 null OR = 1.48, 95% CI = (1.25-1.77), GSTM1-GSTT1 null OR = 1.58, 95% CI = (1.19-2.09), while we didn't obtain significant results among Caucasians or Africans. Stratified analyses on the type of control indicated a higher risk of HCC associated with GSTM1, GSTT1 single null genotypes and GSTM1-GSTT1 dual-null genotypes in healthy people. No evidence of significant connection was discovered in chronic liver disease (CLD) except in GSTT1 single null.ConclusionsOur study indicated that an individual who carries the GSTM1, GSTT1 single null genotypes and GSTT1-GSTM1 dual-null genotypes is more likely to develop HCC.

Project description:Preventing the ototoxicity caused by cisplatin is a major issue yet to be overcome. Useful preventive treatments will soon be available. Consequently, the next step is to filter out those patients who are more prone to develop ototoxicity. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate potential predictive markers of acute ototoxicity as determined by measures of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). A total of 118 patients from our previous DPOAE analysis were put under evaluation. Ototoxic cases were divided according to unilateral (n = 45) or bilateral (n = 23) involvement. The clinicopathological characteristics, hearing test results, germline GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms, and common laboratory parameters were included in the new analysis. Univariate and multivariate statistical tests were applied. According to multivariate logistic regression, the only independent predictor of unilateral ototoxicity (vs. non-affected) was a GSTM1 null genotype (OR = 4.52; 95%CI = 1.3-16.3), while for bilateral damage, the GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 4.76; 1.4-16) was a predictor. The higher starting serum urea level was characteristic of bilateral ototoxicity; however, the only independent marker of bilateral (vs. unilateral) ototoxicity was the presence of GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 2.44; 1.23-4.85). Different processes, involving the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes, respectively, govern the development of acute unilateral and bilateral ototoxicities. Further research is needed to clarify these processes. Based on the above findings, patients whom are at risk may be selected for otoprotective therapies. KEY MESSAGES: The acute ototoxicity was determined by DPOAE in 118 testicular cancer patients. GSTM1 null was the only marker of unilateral ototoxicity (vs. non-affected). The only marker of bilateral hearing loss (vs. non-affected) was the GSTT1 null. GSTT1 null was also the marker of bilateral vs. unilateral ototoxicity. A high-risk group may be selected for new, individualized otoprotective treatment.

Project description:Occupational exposure to benzene has been associated with leukemia, anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. Genetic susceptibility to benzene toxicity in humans may be related to variations in benzene metabolizing genes. The main objective of this study was to ascertain whether polymorphism of GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1 and CYP2E1 genes might influence susceptibility to the adverse effects of benzene among employees of a petrochemical plant. In this cross-sectional study, 124 employees of a petrochemical plant who had been occupationally exposed to benzene and had one or more abnormal hematological parameter (cases) and 184 subjects with a similar exposure scenario, free from any abnormal hematological parameters (referent) were studied. Atmospheric concentrations of benzene were measured and GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes were evaluated using the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Additionally, GSTP1 and CYP2E1 genotypes were determined by PCR- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The frequency of null GSTT1 genotype in cases was significantly higher than that of referent group (32.3 vs. 18.5%, OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.23-3.56, p = 0.004). The mean value of platelets in subjects with null GSTT1 genotype was significantly lower than that of individuals with positive GSTT1 genotype (p = 0.015). Conversely, the mean value of leukocytes was significantly higher in subjects with null GSTM1 genotype as compared to those with positive GSTM1 genotype (p = 0.026). Logistic regression analysis showed that, subjects with null GSTT1 genotype had a significantly higher risk for hematological disorders, as compared to those with positive GSTT1 genotype (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.23-3.56). Moreover, subjects with both null GSTT1 and GSTM1 genotypes had a significantly higher risk for hematological disorders as compared to subjects with positive GSTT1 and GSTM1 genotypes (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.14-4.8). The results of this study showed that, individuals carrying null GSTT1 or both null STT1 and GSTM1 genotypes had a higher risk and were more susceptible to benzene-induced hematological disorders.
