Because ITCs also serve as a substrate for GSTs, we evaluated dietary intake of ITCs and GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotype information in a lung cancer case-control study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of CYP1A1*2A, CYP1A1*2C, CYP2D6*4, GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1 and NAT2 polymorphisms for the susceptibility to LC in a Portuguese population considering their demographic and clinical characteristics.
GSTT1 and GSTM1 null genotypes appeared to play a protective role for lung cancer (odds ratio [OR] = 0.47, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.24-0.93, p = 0.03) and (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28-0.96, p = 0.04), but they were not associated with oral and gastric cancers.
No statistically significant effects in the lung cancer risk were observed for the GSTT1 genotypes, but the GSTP1*B/*B genotype posed a 2-fold risk [odds ratio (OR) = 2.0, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-4.1] of this malignancy compared with the GSTP1*A allele containing genotypes; this association was mainly attributable to small cell lung cancer (OR = 3.6, 95% CI 1.3-9.8).
GSTT1 was not associated with lung cancer risk and GSTP1 val was non-significantly associated with a modest reduction in risk, particularly among heavy smokers.
The findings suggest that the GSTM1 null genotype may be associated with susceptibility to lung and urinary bladder cancer in dependence on the exposure to carcinogens in cigarette smoke and that the GSTT1 null genotype is not a critical factor in mediating the risk of lung cancer, but may be associated with an increased susceptibility to bladder cancer.
We assessed the effect of allelic deletions in the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes on lung cancer overall survival through a systematic review of the scientific literature after applying predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
We investigated if the individual and/or combined modifying effects of the CYP1A1 MspI T6235C, GSTM1 present/null, GSTT1 present/null and GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphisms are related to the risk of developing lung cancer in relation to tobacco consumption and occupation in Asturias, Northern Spain.
To evaluate the roles of CYP1A1 polymorphisms [Ile 462Val and T 6235C (MspI)] and deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 in lung cancer development in Asian populations, a pooled analysis was conducted on 13 existing studies included in Genetic Susceptibility to Environmental Carcinogenesis database.
Particularly, genetic polymorphisms in NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A1, myeloperoxidase (MPO), glutathione-S-transferase (GST)P1, GSTT1, and GSTM1, and have been suspected to affect lung cancer risk.
The GSTT1 null genotype was also associated with an increased lung cancer risk (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.17-1.89; p=0.001), but no association was observed for the GSTP1 105Val allele.
Results revealed that certain environmental factors may be considered as a risk factor but deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 are not associated with the development of lung cancer; however, studies including >500 patient samples is suggested.
Furthermore, individuals possessing combined genotypes of N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) rapid acetylator, GSTP1 mutant and both GSTT1(-) and GSTM1(-) have a remarkably higher lung cancer risk than those carrying combined NAT2 slow acetylator genotype, GSTP1 wild genotype and both GSTT1(+) and GSTM1(+) genotypes.
We evaluated the association between dietary isothiocyanate intake, GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms, and lung cancer risk in 420 Chinese women: 233 histologically confirmed lung cancer patients and 187 hospital controls.
