Therefore, we analyzed the effect of alcohol consumption and ADH1B Arg48His, ADH1B Arg370Cys, ADH1C Ile349Val, ALDH2 Glu540Lys, CYP2E1 RsaI, CYP2E1 DraI, CYP2E1 TaqI and MTHFR C677T polymorphisms on the risk of developing lung cancer.
However, smokers with the CC genotype of CYP2E1rs2031920 (OR = 3.57, 95% CI = 2.26-5.63) presented a higher risk of lung cancer than those with at least one T allele (OR = 2.91, 95% CI = 1.70-4.98) as compared to never-smokers with at least one T allele (reference).
In summary, this meta-analysis indicates that CYP2E1 RsaI polymorphism is associated with lung cancer risk among Asians, CYP2E1 RsaI polymorphism may be associated with lung adenocarcinoma risk, and CYP2E1 RsaI and DraI polymorphisms may be associated with decreased lung cancer risk in smokers.
This updated meta-analysis suggests that CYP2E1 Rsa Ι/Pst Ι c2 allele is a decreased risk factor for the developing lung cancer among Asians and mixed population.
In addition, as the gene polymorphisms reflected, the polymorphisms of CYP1A1 (-3801T/C and -4889A/G), CYP1A2 (- 163C/A and -2467T/delT), CYP1B1 (-48G/C, -119G/T and -432G/C), CYP2E1 (-1293G/C and -1053 C/T) have been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.
Our results suggested that CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI c1/c2 and c1/c2+c2/c2 variants might be a protective factor for developing lung cancer in Chinese population.
A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association of CYP2E1 -1239G>C polymorphism with the risk of lung cancer in Chinese population by calculating pooled odds ratio (OR).
The aim of this study was to investigate the association of five extensively-studied polymorphisms in PTGS2 (rs689466, rs5275, rs20417) and CYP2E1 (rs2031920, rs6413432) genes with lung cancer risk in a large northeastern Chinese population.
The meta-analysis suggests that CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI and DraI polymorphisms may affect the susceptibility of lung cancer, and a study with a larger sample size is needed to further evaluate gene-environment interaction on CYP2E1 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk.
In heavy-smokers, the combination of NQO1 Pro/Ser + Ser/Ser and CYP2E1 c1/c1 genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk for lung cancer (OR = 2.25, 95% CI = 1.14-4.43) compared with those of NQO1 Pro/Pro and CYP2E1 c1/c2 + c2/c2 genotype.
To clarify the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms in alcohol-metabolizing enzymes may influence susceptibility to lung cancer, the authors conducted a hospital-based case-control study and examined genetic polymorphisms in the alcohol dehydrogenase 3, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH(2)), and cytochrome P450 2E1 genes in 505 patients with histologically confirmed lung cancer and in a group of 256 noncancer controls who provided complete cigarette and alcohol consumption histories.
Although genetic polymorphisms of CYP2E1, GSTM1 and T1 were not associated with the overall risk of lung cancer, the GSTM1 null genotype significantly increased the risk of squamous cell lung cancer (OR=1.9, 95% CI=1.04-3.60).
A tandem repeat polymorphism in the 5'-flanking region of the CYP2E1 gene was investigated in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients to clarify the relationship between CYP2E1 gene polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility.
We also compare the reports to date on SNP types in CYP1A1 and CYP2E1 in relation to the risk of lung cancer with our study results, examine survival rates of lung cancer patients by CYP1A1 or CYP2E1 genotype and discuss the applicability of SNP research to EBP.
These results underscore the important role of polymorphic metabolizing genes in influencing the genotoxic responses to environmental mutagens and provide support to the reported findings linking CYP2E1 polymorphism to smoking-related lung cancer.
Because of the role that CYP2E1 plays in procarcinogen activation, especially of N-nitrosamines involved in lung cancer, the identified factors may account in part for observed differences in individual susceptibility to disease and may also have implications for cancer prevention.
The results of this study indicate that CYP2E1 RsaI polymorphism, but not DraI polymorphism, may contribute to the development of lung cancer in Taiwan.
