AbstractChronic exposure to n-hexane may result in peripheral neuropathy. 2,5-Hexanedione (2,5-HD) has been identified as a toxic metabolite of n-hexane. The CYP2E1, CYP1A1 and GST genes are involved in the formation of 2,5-hexanedione from n-hexane as well as the elimination of 2,5-HD-formed electrophile, and these genes are highly polymorphic in the general population. A nested case-control study in an industrial cohort was conducted to evaluate the associations between polymorphisms in these metabolic genes and n-hexane-induced peripheral nerve damage. The study subjects included 22 cases, who worked in a printing factory with symptoms of peripheral nerve damage, and 163 controls, who came from the same factory of cases. DNA was extracted from blood samples and genotyping was conducted for CYP2E1 Pst, CYP2E1 Dra, CYP2E1 Ins96, CYP1A1 Msp, GSTT1 null, GSTM1 null and GSTP1 105V. Unconditional logistic regression was applied to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding age, sex, smoking and alcohol status. A significant association between Dra polymorphism and peripheral nerve damage was found. The frequency of CYP2E1 Dra homozygous mutation in the case group (18.2%) was higher than that in the control group (3.7%, p=0.015). Individuals with homozygote genotype (CC) of CYP2E1 Dra had a significantly higher risk of peripheral nerve damage compared with those with DD genotype (adjusted OR?=?5.58, 95% CI?=?1.32–23.65) after n-hexane exposure duration, sex, age, smoking and alcohol status were adjusted. No significant association was found that CYP2E1 Pst, CYP2E1 Ins96, CYP1A1 Msp, GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTP gene polymorphisms associated with the susceptibility of peripheral nerve damage. These findings suggested that CYP2E1 gene might increase the susceptibility to n-hexane-induced peripheral damage. 相似文献

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a precancerous condition of the oral cavity and oropharynx and a significant number of such cases transform into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Presently, diagnosis of OSF is done mainly through qualitative histopathological techniques and in the level of diagnostic molecular biology no specific genetic marker is evident. Keeping these facts in mind this study evaluates histopathological changes in the epithelium and subepithelial connective tissue of OSF through quantitative digital image analysis in respect to specific candidate features and analyses null mutations in the GSTM1 and GSTT1 by PCR amplification. The analysis revealed that there are subtle quantitative differences in the histological images of OSF compared to NOM. The thickness of the epithelium and cell population in its different zones, radius of curvature of rete-ridges and connective tissue papillae were decreased but length of rete-ridges and connective tissue papillae, fibrocity and the number of cellular components (predominantly inflammatory cells) in the subepithelial connective tissue were increased in OSF. The PCR study revealed that there is no significant difference in the allelic variants in GSTM1 between OSF and normal, while GSTT1 null gene showed significantly higher frequencies in this precancerous condition. This study establishes a distinct quantitative difference between normal oral mucosa (NOM) and OSF in respect to their histological features and GST null gene frequencies. 相似文献

We investigated the association between biomarkers of dermal exposure, naphthyl-keratin adducts (NKA), and urine naphthalene biomarker levels in 105 workers routinely exposed to jet-fuel. A moderate correlation was observed between NKA and urine naphthalene levels (p?=?0.061). The NKA, post-exposure breath naphthalene, and male gender were associated with an increase, while CYP2E1*6 DD and GSTT1-plus (++/+?) genotypes were associated with a decrease in urine naphthalene level (p?<?0.0001). The NKA show great promise as biomarkers for dermal exposure to naphthalene. Further studies are warranted to characterize the relationship between NKA, other exposure biomarkers, and/or biomarkers of biological effects due to naphthalene and/or PAH exposure. 相似文献

In order to find the effect of genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTT1 on blood pressure of individuals chronically exposed to sulfur compounds, the present study was done. Study subjects (38 males, 38 females) were residents of contaminated areas of Masjid-i-Sulaiman (southwest of Iran). The GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes were determined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method. The non-parametric Sign test was applied in order to detect differences between the GSTs genotypes of study subjects and the normal mean values according to the sex and age of subjects. From four combination of genotypes, systolic blood pressure significantly decreased in combination of null-GSTM1 and present-GSTT1 (Z=−2.41; P=0.016), and diastolic blood pressure significantly increased in combination of present-GSTM1 and null-GSTT1 (Z=+2.14; P=0.032). It is speculated about polymorphisms of GSTs in individuals chronically exposed to natural sour gas, which contains H2S, fulfilling a physiological role(s) in regulating blood pressure. 相似文献

This paper aimed to analyze the association of polymorphism of GSTM1 0/0 genotype with laryngeal cancer along a hospital based case-control study. Polymorphisms of GSTM1 0/0 of samples from 36 patients with laryngeal cancer and 35 healthy controls were detected by PCR method. The reaction used as GSTM1 primers, using the sequence sense: 5'-CTGCCCTACTTGGATTGATGGG-3' and antisense: 5'-TGGATTGTAGCAGATCATGC-3'. N Acetyl transferase 1 (NAT1) gene using the primers sense: 5'-TAAAAGTAAAATGATTTGCTTTCG-3' and antisense: 5'-GCTTTCTAGCATAAATCACCAA-3' was used as internal positive control. Two sided 2 and multivariation analysis were used to analyse the results. The proportions of GSTM1 deleted genotype in cases and controls were 47.2% and 54.3%, respectively. There was significant increment of GSTM 0/0 genotype frequency in moderate smokers group of patients compared to control (P=0.033, OR= 4.78, 95% CI=1.30-7.13). We conclude that GSTM1 deleted genotype may be a genetic susceptibility marker for laryngeal cancer whose exposed to low doses carcinogens. The absence of this enzyme seems to have a role in the development of laryngeal cancer, in which the mechanism still needs further investigation. 相似文献

Recent epidemiological studies proposed that the glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1-null genotype may contribute to diseases associated with oxidative stress. The genetic polymorphism exhibited by theGSTM1 may be an important factor in risk toward oxidant chemicals. In this study, we investigated the effect ofGSTM1-null genotype in lymphocyte and oxidative stress-dependent inhibition of platelet aggregation. To determine whether GSTM1
deficiency is a genetic determinant of cell toxicity toward oxidant chemicals, lymphocytes were incubatedin vitro with low levels of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), cumene hydroperoxide (CumOOH), ortrans-stilbene oxide that do not decrease cell viability, and were assessed for oxidative damage and for the lymphocyte-dependent
inhibition of platelet response. Malondialdehyde and carbonyl levels, and the oxidation ofcis-parinaric acid, were used as biomarkers of oxidative stress in lymphocytes. Following stimulation by BaP or CumOOH, when
peroxidation-dependent changes in these parameters were compared between theGSTM1-null genotype and the positive genotype, no significant differences were found between the two genotypes. On the other hand,
preincubation of the lymphocytes with BaP or CumOOH attenuated their inhibitory action on ADP-induced platelet aggregation.
However, our results indicate that lymphocytes of individuals with theGSTM1-null genotype have greater inhibitory activity on platelet function after exposure to BaP, but not CumOOH, although they
are not more susceptible toin vitro oxidative stress.

Published data on the association between male infertility and the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) gene polymorphism are inclusive. To drive a more precise estimation, we performed a meta-analysis based on 1897 cases and 1785 controls from 15 published case–control studies. PubMed and CBMdisc literature research were conducted to identify all eligible studies investigating such a relationship. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the strength of the association. 相似文献

There is substantial evidence found in the literature that supports the fact that the presence of oxidative stress may play an important role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) forms one of the major detoxifying groups of enzymes responsible for eliminating products of oxidative stress. Interindividual differences observed in the metabolism of xenobiotics have been attributed to the genetic polymorphism of genes coding for enzymes involved in detoxification. Thus, in this study we investigated the association of glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta-1 (GSTT1) gene deletion polymorphisms and schizophrenia in a Tunisian population. A case–control study including 138 schizophrenic patients and 123 healthy controls was enrolled. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms were analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). No association was found between the GSTM1 genotype and schizophrenia, whereas the prevalence of the GSTT1 active genotype was significantly higher in the schizophrenic patients (57.2%) than in the controls (45.5%) with (OR = 0.6, IC 0.37–0.99, p = 0.039). Thus, we noted a significant association between schizophrenia and GSTT1 active genotype. Furthermore, the combination of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes showed a non-significant trend to an increased risk of schizophrenia. The present finding indicated that GSTT1 seems to be a candidate gene for susceptibility to schizophrenia in at least Tunisian population. 相似文献
