Relationship between the susceptibility to sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma and the genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-Transferase M1,T1 in Chinese Hans / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-Transferase M1,T1 and the susceptibility to sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma(SCRAC) and smoking and alcohol consumption in Chinese Hans.Methods Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) was used in the study of genetic polymorphisms of GSTM 1,T1 gene.Logistic analysis was performed to elucidate the roles of GSTM1,GST1,smoking and alcohol.Results The null GSTM1,T1 genotypes could increase the susceptibility to SCRAC(OR=1.711,95% CI1.043～2.805;OR=1.734,95% CI1.057～2.843),but smoking and alcohol consumption made no significant effect on SCRAC(OR=0.584,95% CI0.356～0.958;OR=0.378.95% CI0.217～0.657).Further stratification of the SCRAC patients by chnical features showed that there were no relationship between the GST M1,T1 genotype and the age of the SCRAC patients.But the frequency of null GSTM1 genotype was significantly associated with distal colon adenocarcinoma (P=0.021),colorectal adenocarcinoma of Dukes C classification (P=0.003) and poor difierentiation (P=0.020),respectively.The frequency of null GSTF1 genotype was only higher in colorectal adenocarcinoma of Dukes C classification(P=0.041).No relationship was found between the location,the degree of differentiation and the frequency of null GSTF1 genotype(P＞0.05).Furthermore,the frequencies of homozygous deletion in GSTM1,T1 genes were found to be significantly increased in SCRAC patients than those in healthy controls(38.9%VS25.7%.P=0.023).Conclusion The GST genotype is strongly correlated with SCRAC incidence in Chinese Hans.The null GSTM1,T1 genotypes can enhance the genetic susceptibility to SCRAC.while smoking and alcohol consumption have no significant effect on the susceptibility to SCRAC.
