Effects of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms and BPDE-DNA adducts on lung cancer / 中华医学遗传学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 genetic polymorphisms and BPDE-DNA adducts on lung tumorigenesis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The case control study has included 200 cases of lung cancer and 200 controls. DNA was extracted from blood samples of all subjects. The genotype of both CYP1A1 and GSTM1 were detected with PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RELP). BPDE-DNA adducts were detected with competitive ELISA.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>CYP1A1 mutant genotype and GSTM1 null genotype with smoke has increased the risk of lung cancer, with OR being 2.406(1.321-4.382), 2.755(1.470-5.163), respectively. The level of BPDE-DNA adducts in patients was greater than control, and the adduct level in ever smokers was higher than never smokers, the difference was statistically significant (P= 0.0252). GSTM1 null genotype individuals with BPDE-DNA level higher than 5 adducts/10(8) nucleotide have increased risk of lung cancer (OR= 1.988, 95%CI 1.011-3.912). Compared with never smokers with CYP1A1 wild genotype, smokers with CYP1A1 mutation genotype had an increased risk of forming a higher level of DNA adducts (P= 0.0459). Smokers with GSTM1 null genotype formed more DNA adducts compared with never smokers with GSTM1 functional genotype (OR = 2.432, 95% CI 1.072-4.517).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>GSTM1 null genotype with higher level DNA adducts may increase the risk of lung cancer. DNA adducts form easier in smokers with CYP1A1 mutation genotype and GSTM1 null genotype, which in turn may influence lung tumorigenesis.</p>
