Association between the Genetic Variants of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 and Severity of Endometriosis.

ABSTRACT: It has been reported that oxidative and nitrative stress might be the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This prospective case-control study attempted to check the connection between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of three antioxidant enzymes (glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), thioredoxin 2 (TXN2), thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1)) and endometriosis. We recruited 90 patients with histology-approved endometriosis as the case group and 130 age-matched women for an annual pap smear examination as the control group. The stage of endometriosis was evaluated with revised ASRM score. Both groups were genotyped in the peripheral leukocytes for the SNP of GPX4 (rs713041), TXN2 (rs4821494) and TXNRD1 (rs1128446) by PCR-based methods. An X2 test was used to analysis of the difference of allele frequency and SNP distribution between two groups. The results revealed GPX4 (rs713041) has a significantly different distribution between two groups (C:T = 116 (44.6%):144 (55.4%) in control and C:T = 104 (57.8%): 76 (42.2%) in endometriosis groups, p = 0.007). The SNP in TXN2 (rs4821494) also showed a difference in allele frequency (G:T = 180 (69.2%):80 (30.8%) in control and G:T = 141 (78.3%):39 (21.6%) in endometriosis group, p = 0.030). In addition, the SNP GPX4 (rs713041) was associated with the severity of the endometriosis. Women who have advanced stage endometriosis were different from mild endometriosis in genetic variants of GPX4 gene (p = 0.001). In conclusion, the relationship between endometriosis and SNP of antioxidant enzymes, GPX4 and TXN2, was confirmed by the present study. According to the result, we suggested that the GPX4 might contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Project description:PurposeThe antioxidant enzymes pathway is considered the most important pathway involved in the repair of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced damage. Therefore, we investigate the possible association between polymorphisms of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) genes and age -related cataract development.MethodsThe study included 415 cataract patients (121 patients with cortical, 109 with nuclear, 59 with posterior subcapsular, and 126 with mixed type) and 386 healthy control group of similar age. Genotyping of SOD1-251A/G, CAT-21A/T, and GPX1-198C/T was done by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Differences in the frequencies were estimated using the χ(2) test and risk was estimated with an unconditional logistic regression after adjusting for age and gender.ResultsSOD1 G/G genotype frequency was significantly higher in cataract patients (p=0.012, OR=1.642, 95% CI=1.129-2.389). SOD1 A/A genotypes (p=0.001, OR=0.613, 95% CI=0.461-0.817) seem to have a protective role against cataract, and the G allele (p=0.001, OR=1.479, 95% CI=1.208-1.810) plays a dangeous effect against in the development of cataract. In CAT-21A/T and GPX1-198C/T polymorphisms, there were no significant differences in the variant homozygous frequencies in patients compared to controls (p=0.226, OR=1.358, 95% CI=0.839-2.199; p=0.521, OR=1.205, 95% CI=0.726-2.001, respectively). Stratification by the subtypes revealed that association between SOD polymorphism and cataract was in cortical and mixed type cataract. The genotype frequency of the GG and AA of SOD1-251A/G was significantly different in cortical and mixed type cataract group (p=0.031; OR: 1.805, 95% CI: 1.076-3.026; p=0.002; OR: 2.229, 95% CI: 1.364-3.645; p=0.026; OR: 0.608, 95% CI: 0.396-0.933; p=0.001; OR: 0.474, 95% CI: 0.305-0.734, respectively) compared to healthy controls.ConclusionsResults suggest that the G/G genotype of the SOD1-251A/G polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk of cataract. However, in CAT-21A/T and GPX1-198C/T polymorphisms, there were no significant differences in the variant homozygous frequencies in patients compared to controls.
