Analysis of the glutathione S-transferase P1 gene Ile105Val polymorphism in the patients with sporadic motor neuron disease from Russia

Ile105Val polymorphism in exon 5 of glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1) gene was examined in a group of patients with motor neuron disease (MND) and control sample. No statistically significant differences in the allele and genotype frequency distributions between the samples examined were demonstrated. We conclude that Ile105Val polymorphism is not associated with the risk of the disease development in the patients from Russia with sporadic form of MND.     

Transferase S-glutathione class pi gene (GSTP1) polymorphism in thyroid cancer patients

INTRODUCTION: One of the potential genes which can increase the risk of cancer is GSTP1 gene. It encodes enzyme called glutathione S-transferase pi class, which is involved in the detoxification of a variety of potential carcinogenic compounds. Polymorphism in this gene can cause the amino acid substitution. This substitution, close to the substrate binding site, changes the enzymatic activity for particular substrates and subsequently increases the risk of carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the function of GSTP1 polymorphism in thyroid cancer and possible association between GSTP1 polymorphism and age at diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 103 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and 53 individuals from control group were examined using PCR-RFLP. RESULTS: Statistically insignificant association of studied polymorphisms with thyroid cancer was observed. Comparison of allele frequency between cases and control groups revealed the presence of risk alleles. For the first polymorphism Ile OR = 1.257; 95% CI [0.792-1.997] (p = 0.332), and for the second one Val OR = 1.283; 95% CI [0.6260-2.631] (p = 0.495). The presence of Val/Val (c.313A>G) led to a significant earlier age of onset as compared with other genotypes (p < 0.05). Mean age at diagnosis for Val/Val genotype was 41.1 +/- 15.2, and for Ile/Val + Ile/Ile reached 48.9 +/- 13.2. There was no association between age and genotype for c.341C>T polymorphism. CONCLUSIONS: Statistically insignificant association of GSTP1 gene polymorphism with thyroid cancer was observed in studied group of patients. The Val/Val genotype for c.313A>G polymorphism led to earlier age of tumour diagnosis as compared with other genotypes.     

The role of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, and OGG1 polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes mellitus risk: a case-control study in a Turkish population

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of some polymorphisms in GSTs (GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1) which are very important protective mechanisms against oxidative stress and in OGG1 gene which is important in DNA repair, against the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 127 T2DM and 127 control subjects were included in the study. DNA was extracted from whole blood. Analyses of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms were performed by allele specific PCR and those of GSTP1 Ile105Val and OGG1 Ser326Cys by PCR-RFLP. Our data showed that GSTM1 null genotype frequency had a 2-6 times statistically significant increase in a patient group (OR=3.841, 95% CI=2.280-6.469, p<0.001) but no significance with GSTT1 null/positive and GSTP1 Ile105Val genotypes was observed. When T2DM patients with OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism were compared with patients with a wild genotype, a 2-3 times statistically significant increase has been observed (OR 1.858, 95% CI=1.099-3.141, p=0.021). The combined effect of GSTM1 null and OGG1 variant genotype frequencies has shown to be statistically significant. Similarly, the risk of T2DM was statistically increased with GSTM1 null (OR=3.841, 95% CI=2.28-6.469), GSTT1 null+GSTP1 (H+M) (OR=4.118, 95% CI=1.327-12.778) and GSTM1 null+OGG1 (H+M) (OR=3.322, 95% CI=1.898-5.816) and GSTT1 null+OGG1 (H+M) (OR=2.179, 95% CI=1.083-4.386) as compared to the control group. According to our study results, it has been observed that the combined evaluation of GSTM1-GSTT1-GSTP1 and OGG1 Ser326Cys gene polymorphisms can be used as candidate genes in the etiology of T2DM, especially in the development of T2DM.     

Genetic polymorphism of glutathione S-transferase P1 and breast cancer risk

To evaluate the potential association between the GSTP1 genotype and the development of breast cancer, a hospital based case-control study was conducted on Korean women. The study population consisted of 171 histologically confirmed incident breast cancer cases and 171 age-matched controls with no present or previous history of cancer. PCR-RFLP was used for the GSTP1 genotyping and statistical evaluations were performed using an unconditional logistic regression model. Postmenopausal women with the GSTP1 Val allele were found to have a reduced risk of breast cancer (OR = 0.3, 95 % CI = 0.10-0.74). A significant interaction was observed between the GSTP1 genotype and alcohol consumption (p for interaction = 0.01); compared with never-drinking women with Ile/Ile genotype, ever-drinking women with the GSTP1 Val allele had almost a three-fold risk of breast cancer (OR = 2.9, 95 % CI = 1.05-7.85), whereas never-drinking women with Val allele had half this risk (OR = 0.5, 95 % CI = 0.27-0.93). Our findings suggest that the GSTP1 polymorphism influences individual susceptibility to breast cancer in the Korean women and this effect may be modified by alcohol consumption.     

Association of glutathione S-transferase P1 gene polymorphism with the susceptibility of lung cancer

The conclusions of the published reports on the relationship between glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer are still debated. GSTP1 is one of the important mutant sites reported at present. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between GSTP1 and the risk of lung cancer. The association investigations were identified from PubMed and Cochrane Library, and eligible studies were included and synthesized using meta-analysis method. Forty-four reports were included into this meta-analysis for the association of GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility, consisting of 12,363 patients with lung cancer and 13,948 controls. The association between GSTPI G allele and lung cancer risk was found in this meta-analysis (OR 1.08, 95?% CI 1.02–1.15, P?=?0.01). However, the GG genotype and AA genotype were not associated with the susceptibility of lung cancer. Furthermore, there was no association between GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer in Caucasians, and East-Asians. In conclusion, GSTP1 G allele is associated with the lung cancer susceptibility. However, more studies on the relationship between GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer should be performed in the future.     

Genetic polymorphism of the glutathione-S-transferase P1 gene (GSTP1) and susceptibility to prostate cancer in the Kashmiri population

Glutathione-S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) is a critical enzyme of the phase II detoxification pathway. One of the common functional polymorphisms of GSTP1 is A→G at nucleotide 313, which results in an amino acid substitution (Ile105Val) at the substrate binding site of GSTP1 and reduces catalytic activity of GSTP1. To investigate the GSTP1 Ile105Val genotype frequency in prostate cancer cases in the Kashmiri population, we designed a case-control study, in which 50 prostate cancer cases and 45 benign prostate hyperplasia cases were studied for GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism, compared to 80 controls taken from the general population, employing the PCR-RFLP technique. We found the frequency of the three different genotypes of GSTP1 Ile105Val in our ethnic Kashmir population, i.e., Ile/Ile, Ile/Val and Val/Val, to be 52.4, 33.3 and 14.3% among prostate cancer cases, 48.5, 37.5 and 14% among benign prostate hyperplasia cases and 73.8, 21.3 and 5% in the control population, respectively. There was a significant association between the GSTP1 Ile/Val genotype and the advanced age group among the cases. We conclude that GSTP1 Ile/Val polymorphism is involved in the risk of prostate cancer development in our population.     

Association of glutathione S-transferase P1 gene polymorphism with the risk of small-cell carcinoma of lung cancer

Abstract

The conclusions of the published reports on the relationship between glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene polymorphism and the risk of small-cell carcinoma of lung cancer are still debated. GSTP1 is one of the important mutant sites reported at present. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between GSTP1 and the risk of small-cell carcinoma of lung cancer. The association investigations were identified from PubMed and Cochrane Library, and eligible studies were included and synthesized using meta-analysis method. Ten reports were included into this meta-analysis for the association of GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and small-cell carcinoma of lung cancer. The G allele and GG genotype were not associated with the susceptibility of risk of small-cell carcinoma in overall populations, East-Asians and Turkish population. However, there was an association between GG genotype with the risk of small-cell carcinoma in Caucasians. In conclusion, GG genotype was associated with the risk of small-cell carcinoma in Caucasian patients with lung cancer. However, GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism is not associated with the susceptibility of small-cell carcinoma in overall populations, East-Asians and Turkish population.     

Association of Helicobacter pylori-related distal gastric cancer with the HLA class II gene DQB10602 and cagA strains in a southern European population

BACKGROUND: Distinct human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ genes have been associated with an increased or reduced risk for gastric cancer, but its association with Helicobacter pylori status is controversial. In the present study we evaluated the influence of host HLA DQA1 and DQB1 loci, H. pylori genotype, and socio-economic factors on predicting H. pylori-associated distal gastric cancer in a southern European population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a prospective case-control (1 : 2) study, 42 patients with H. pylori-associated distal gastric cancer were matched by age (+/-5 years) and gender to 84 patients with H. pylori-associated benign gastroduodenal disease (controls). The level of education received, smoking status, alcohol consumption, origin and familial history of gastric cancer were registered at inclusion. HLA DQA1 and DQB1 typing and H. pylori genotyping were determined from endoscopic gastric mucosal biopsies. RESULTS: Compared with control patients, a positive association with cagA(+) strains (p < .002) and a negative association with vacA-s2 strains (p < .02) was found in patients with distal gastric cancer. At the DQB1 locus, the (*)0602 allele was more frequent in distal gastric cancer than in controls (26.2% vs. 4.8%; p < .005). After correction for multiple comparisons (exact multiple regression analysis) the cagA(+) status and the DQB1(*)0602 allele were associated with an increased distal gastric cancer risk (OR 3.7; 95% CI = 1.33-12.26 and OR 4.82; 95% CI = 1.24-19.83, respectively) whereas the vacA-s2 status was associated with a decreased risk (OR 0.33; 95% CI = 0.10-0.94). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that in the H. pylori-infected southern European population, the cagA genotype and the HLA-DQB1(*)0602 gene confer an increased risk for distal gastric cancer.     

A meta-analysis of the association of glutathione S-transferase P1 gene polymorphism with the susceptibility of breast cancer

Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) is one of the important mutant sites for the cancer risk at present. The conclusions of the published reports on the relationship between GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of breast cancer are still debated. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between GSTP1 and the risk of breast cancer. The association reports were identified from PubMed and Cochrane Library, and eligible studies were included and synthesized using meta-analysis method. 35 investigations were included into this meta-analysis for the association of GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility, consisting of 40,347 subjects (18,665 patients with breast cancer and 21,682 controls). The association between GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and breast cancer risk was not found for overall population, Caucasians and Africans. Interestingly, the GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism was associated with the susceptibility of breast cancer in Asians (G allele: OR = 1.10, 95 % CI: 1.04–1.17, P = 0.001; GG genotype: OR = 1.36, 95 % CI: 1.14–1.62, P = 0.0008; AA genotype: OR = 0.92, 95 % CI: 0.85–0.98, P = 0.02). Furthermore, the GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism was associated with the susceptibility of breast cancer for the analysis of the controls from hospital. In conclusion, GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism is associated with the breast cancer susceptibility in Asians. However, more studies on the relationship between GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of breast cancer should be performed in further.
