Glutathione S-transferase gene polymorphisms and risk of nasal or colorectal polyposis.

ABSTRACT: We observed inconsistent conclusions regarding the genetic role of glutathione S-transferase gene polymorphisms, including glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1), glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) present/null, and glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) Ile105Val polymorphisms, in the susceptibility to nasal or colorectal polyposis (NP or CP). Thus, we aimed to perform a meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate this association by applying Stata/SE software. After the heterogeneity assumption, Mantel-Haenszel statistics were used to obtain the odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and P-value of the association test (P_A ). We obtained a total of 235 articles by searching online databases. After screening, ten eligible case-control studies were finally enrolled in our meta-analysis. For the meta-analysis of the GSTT1 gene under present versus null, we observed a decreased risk of NP [OR = 0.65; P_A =0.018], but not CP. In addition, we did not detect any evident association between the GSTM1 present/null polymorphism and NP or CP risk. For the meta-analysis of the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism, compared with controls, an increased risk of NP cases was detected under the models of Val versus Ile (OR = 1.36; P_A =0.027), Ile/Val versus Ile/Ile (OR = 1.70; P_A =0.011) and Ile/Val+Val/Val versus Ile/Ile (OR = 1.65; P_A =0.010). In conclusion, the null genotype of the GSTT1 polymorphism may be linked to an increased susceptibility to NP, whereas the Ile/Val genotype of the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism may be associated with a decreased risk of NP.

Project description:Objectives/hypothesisAlthough many proinflammatory cytokines have been identified in nasal polyp tissue, the initial trigger that causes this inflammation characterized by edema, lymphocytosis, and eosinophilia, is still unknown. The purpose of the present study is to identify the presence of genetic polymorphisms in proinflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemokine genes that might contribute to genetic susceptibility to chronic hyperplastic sinusitis with nasal polyposis (CHSwNP).Study designCase control study.MethodsBuccal swabs were taken from the left and right oral mucosal surfaces from 179 patients with CHSwNP and 153 nonpolyposis controls with the Purgene DNA purification protocol (Gentra). Genotyping assays for cytokine gene loci were performed on 14 cytokine genes using the iPlex Gold and the Mass Array Compact system (Sequenom, San Diego, CA). Tests of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium proportions were performed separately in the cases and controls. Tests for evidence of association between alleles at each single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and case-control status were performed using unconditional logistic regression.ResultsThe frequency of the A allele in a SNP located in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (rs1800629) is significantly different in patients with nasal polyposis versus controls without nasal polyposis, 18.6% and 11.5%, respectively with an individuals' odds of susceptibility to nasal polyps increasing almost two-fold (odds ratio, 1.86; confidence interval, 1.4-3.09) given at least one copy of the A allele at this SNP. All other cytokine gene polymorphisms of both inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemokine genes were not statistically different between the two groups.ConclusionsTNF-alpha-308, a SNP in the promoter region of this cytokine gene is associated with increased odds of developing nasal polyposis. TNF-alpha is a potent immuno-mediator and proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a large number of human diseases. The location of this gene on the short arm of chromosome 6, with the major histocompatibility complex genes and complement, has raised the probability that polymorphism within this locus may contribute to a genetic association of this region of the genome with a wide variety of infectious and autoimmune diseases.
