Effect of hOGG1 gene polymorphisms on urinary 8-OHdG level in occupational chromate exposed population / 中国职业医学

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the genetic damage induced by occupational chromate exposure, and to analyze the association between human 8-oxoguanine-DNA N-glycosylase 1(hOGG1) polymorphisms and genetic damage in population with chromate exposure. METHODS: A total of 136 chromate exposed workers were recruited as exposure group by judgmental sampling method, and 156 workers without chromate and other occupational hazard factors exposure were recruited as control group. The whole blood chromium(WB-Cr) level was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms of hOGG1 gene were genotyped by the matrix assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS: The WB-Cr level was higher in the exposure group than that in the control group(meclian 3.41 vs 0.90 μg/L, P<0.01). The urinary 8-OHdG level was higher in the exposure group compared with that in the control group(meclian 6.02 vs 4.72 μg/g·creatinine, P<0.01). In study subjects(exposure group and control group), after adjusting the potential influencing factors such as age, body mass index(BMI), gender, smoking and drinking, chromate exposure might be a risk factor for increasing urinary 8-OHdG level(P<0.05), and the recessive models of rs293796 and rs13096551 were observed as risk factors of increasing urinary 8-OHdG level(P<0.05). In chromate exposure group, the additive and recessive models of rs293796 and the recessive model of rs13096551 were observed as risk factors of increasing urinary 8-OHdG level(P<0.05), while the dominant model of rs3219008 was protective factor of increasing urinary 8-OHdG level(P<0.05), after adjusting the potential influencing factors such as age, BMI, gender, smoking, drinking. However, after multiple Bonferroni correction tests, only the recessive model of rs293796 was the risk factor of increasing urinary 8-OHdG level in the exposed group(P<0.01). There was significant interaction between chromate exposure and rs293796 on urinary 8-OHdG(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The rs13096551 and rs293796 of hOGG1 were associated with the alteration of urinary 8-OHdG level induced by chromate. There was interaction between rs294796 of hOGG1 and chromate exposure on urinary 8-OHdG level.
