To explore the potential role for estrogen in lung cancer susceptibility, candidate single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in tobacco and estrogen metabolism genes were evaluated. Population-based cases (n = 504) included women aged 18-74, diagnosed with NSCLC in metropolitan Detroit between November 2001 and October 2005. Population-based controls (n = 527) were identified through random digit dialing and matched on race and age. Eleven SNPs in 10 different genes were examined in relation to risk: CYP1A1 Msp1, CYP1A1 Ile462Val, CYP1B1 Leu432Val, CYP17, CYP19A1, XRCC1 Gln399Arg, COMT Val158Met, NQO1 Pro187Ser, GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 Ile105Val. Lung cancer risk associated with individual SNPs was seen for GSTP1 [A allele; odds ratio (OR) = 1.85; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04-3.27] and XRCC1 (A/A genotype; OR = 1.68; 95% CI, 1.01-2.79) in white women and CYP1B1 (G allele; OR = 11.1; 95% CI, 1.18-104) in black women smokers. White women smokers carrying two risk genotypes at the following loci were at increased risk of lung cancer compared with individuals not carrying risk alleles at these loci: CYP17 and GSTM1, COMT and GSTM1, CYP17 and GSTT1, XRCC1 and GSTP1, CYP1B1 and XRCC1 and COMT and XRCC1. The most parsimonious model of lung cancer risk in white smoking women included age, family history of lung cancer, history of chronic lung disease, pack-years, body mass index, XRCC1 A/A genotype, GSTM1 null and COMT A/G or G/G genotype. These findings support the need for continued study of estrogen in relation to lung cancer risk. Polymorphisms in the tobacco metabolism, estrogen metabolism and DNA repair pathways will be useful in developing more predictive models of individual risk.

A benefit of temozolomide (TMZ) is that myelotoxicity is uncommon. Recently, several small series have reported significant myelotoxicity resulting in treatment delays or death. The ability to predict risk of myelotoxicity may influence patient care. We retrospectively reviewed 680 malignant glioma patients and developed a clinical risk formula for myelotoxicity for each gender by logistic regression. The variables that remained were assigned a score of 1 and added together for a final risk score. Women experienced more myelotoxicity than did men (p = 0.015). For males, risk factors included body surface area (BSA) > or = 2 m(2) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.712, p = 0.04), not on steroids (OR = 2.214, p = 0.06), and on bowel medication (OR = 3.955, p = 0.008). For females, final factors included no prior chemotherapy (OR = 3.727, p = 0.001), creatinine > or = 1 mg/dl (OR = 6.08, p = 0.002), platelets < 270,000/mm(3) (OR = 2.438, p = 0.03), BSA < 2 m(2) (OR = 4.178, p = 0.04), not on medication for gastroesophageal reflux disease (OR = 2.942, p = 0.01), and on analgesics (OR = 2.169, p = 0.05). Age was included because of observable trends. Risk of developing myelotoxicity ranged from 0% to 33% (male) and from 0% to 100% (females). Polymorphisms in NQO1 (NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, quinone 1), MGMT (O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase), and GSTP1 (glutathione S-transferase pi 1) were related to risk of developing myelotoxicity in a subset of patients. Myelotoxicity with TMZ is a significant clinical issue for those at risk. Use of a clinical model to predict risk and evaluation of identified genetic polymorphisms related to myelotoxicity may allow for individualized dosing, optimizing patient management.

There is large variation between individuals in their response to air pollutants. This review summarises the existing evidence that genetic factors influence the mechanisms of lung injury caused by air pollutants. Genetic association studies have compared the adverse effects of air pollutants between subjects with specific genotypes in biologically relevant genes. In human studies of ozone exposure, polymorphisms in oxidative stress genes (NQO1, GSTM1, GSTP1) modify respiratory symptoms, lung function, biomarkers and risk of asthma. Inflammatory gene polymorphisms (TNF) influence the lung function response to ozone, and the effect of different levels of ozone on the development of asthma. Polymorphisms in oxidative stress genes (GSTM1, GSTP1) alter the response to combined exposure to ragweed pollen and diesel exhaust particles. Importantly, polymorphisms in an oxidative stress gene (GSTM1) have predicted patients with asthma who benefit from antioxidant supplementation in Mexico City, which has chronically high ozone exposure. Genetic linkage studies of families have not been feasible for studying the effects of air pollution in humans, but some progress has been made with pedigrees of specially bred mice, in identifying chromosomal regions linked to effects of ozone or particles. A high priority now, in addition to avoiding exposure in the most susceptible people, is to clearly identify the most effective and safe chemopreventive agents for individuals who are genetically susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution (eg, antioxidants to be taken during high ozone levels).

Zerumbone (ZER), a sesquiterpene in Zingiber zerumbet Smith, has been implicated as a promising chemopreventive agent. Here we found that ZER suppressed expression of pro-inflammatory genes (COX-2 and iNOS) and induced detoxification genes (GSTP1 and NQO1) in RAW264.7 macrophages. Using the ZER-bound Sepharose gel, it appeared ZER was covalently bound to proteins, Keap1 and HuR, that play key roles in these molecular mechanisms.

In this study, frequencies of the polymorphic variants of the genes encoding antioxidant enzymes, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, CAT, GPX1, NQO1, SOD1, and SOD3 were examined in three ethnic groups of healthy subjects from the Republic of Bashkortostan (Russians, Tatars, and Bashkirs). An association of these markers with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was tested. Interethnic differences relative to the distribution of the polymorphic variants of the GSTP1 locus Ile105Val and the NQO1 locus 609C/T were revealed. Relative to the genotype distribution at the Ile 105Val locus of the GSTP1 gene, ethnic group of Bashkirs was found to be statistically significantly different from Tatars (chi2 = 8.819; d.f. = 2; P = 0.012). Relative to the genotype frequency distribution pattern at the NQO1 locus 609C/T, the group of Bashkirs differed from Russians (chi2 = 8.913; df. = 2; P = 0.012). An association of genotype Val/Val of the GSTP1 Ile105Val locus with the risk of COPD in Russians (chi2 = 5.25; P = 0.022; Pcor = 0.044; OR = 4.09), and of the GSTP1 haplotype *D in Tatars, was demonstrated (chi2 = 11.575; P = 0.0014; Pcor = 0.0042; OR = 3.178). Genotype TT of the CAT -262C/T locus marked resistance to the COPD development in Russians (chi2 = 6.82; P = 0.0098; Pcor = = 0.0196; OR = 0.31; 95% CI, 0.119 to 0.77). The risk for COPD in the ethnic group of Tatars was associated with the CAT haplotype (-262)C(1167)T (chi2 = 6.038; P = 0.0147; Pcor = 0.044; OR = 1.71). Analysis of the NQO1 haplotypes at the 465C/T and6009C/T loci showed that haplotype 465C/609T was associated with COPD in Russians (chi2 = 4.571; P = 0.0328; Pcor = 0.01; OR = 1.799). It was demonstrated that Gly allele of the Arg213Gly polymorphic locus of the SOD3 gene marked the risk for COPD in the ethnic group of Tatars (OR = 2.23; 95% CI, 1.22 to 4.1). Thus, GSTP1, CAT, NQO1, and SOD3 polymorphisms play an important role in the development of COPD among the population of Bashkortostan.

A protective role of glucosinolates in prostate cancer development might be mediated by the induction of biotransformation enzymes. These enzymes, enhancing the elimination of carcinogens from the body, are known to be polymorphic. Therefore, we evaluated whether a possible association between glucosinolate intake and prostate cancer risk is modified by polymorphisms in GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTA1, GSTP1, or NOQ1 genes. A case-control study including 248 prostate cancer cases and 492 matched controls was nested in the prospective European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Heidelberg cohort. At baseline, participants provided dietary and lifestyle data and blood samples, which were used for genotyping and measurement of serum glutathione S-transferase-alpha concentration. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by conditional logistic regression. We found an inverse association of glucosinolate intake with prostate cancer risk (adjusted odds ratio, 0.72 per 10 mg/d increment; 95% confidence interval, 0.53-0.96). Stratification by genotype showed significantly reduced risks for subjects with wild-type of NQO1 (C609T) compared with CT or TT carriers (P(interaction) = 0.04). Those with deletions in both GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes combined had a significantly reduced risk with increasing glucosinolate intake (P(interaction) = 0.01). There was no effect modification of glucosinolate intake and cancer risk by GSTA1 (G-52A) or GSTP1 (A313G) genotype, but serum glutathione S-transferase-alpha concentrations were inversely associated with prostate cancer. This study showed that the inverse association between glucosinolate intake and prostate cancer risk was modified by NQO1 (C609T) and GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletion polymorphisms. This information will help to further elucidate the mechanism of action of potentially protective substances in vivo.

Early-onset lung cancer diagnosed up to the age of 50 is a very rare disease, with an increasing incidence rate. Differences in aetiology, characteristics and epidemiology of early and older onset lung cancer have been described previously, suggesting the importance of genetic factors in early-onset lung cancer aetiology. A case-control study was conducted to investigate the effects of genetic polymorphisms in the MPO, EPHX1, GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTP1 and NQO1 genes on the risk of early-onset lung cancer development. Six hundred thirty-eight Caucasian patients under the age of 51 with confirmed primary lung cancer and 1,300 cancer free control individuals, matched by age and sex, were included in this analysis. Seventeen single nucleotide polymorphisms and two deletion polymorphisms were genotyped. No significant association was found for any of the analyzed polymorphisms and overall lung cancer risk. Nonsignificantly decreased risk of lung cancer was observed for carriers of 1 or 2 copies of GSTM1. Subgroup analysis revealed gender- and/or smoking-specific effects of EPHX1 rs2854455 (IV-1464C > T) and rs2234922 (His139Arg), GSTT1 deletion, GSTP1 rs1695 (Ile105Val), rs947895 (+991C > A) and rs4891 (Ser185Ser) and NQO1 rs1800566 (Pro187Ser) polymorphisms. However, none of the observed effects were confirmed by interaction tests nor were they significant after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. In summary, our study suggested a modifying effect of polymorphisms in EPHX1, GSTP1, GSTT1, GSTM1 and NQO1 genes on the risk of early-onset lung cancer. To confirm these observations and to eliminate possible bias in our analyses, larger studies are warranted.

Epidemiologic studies have clearly shown that air pollution is associated with a range of respiratory effects. Recent research has identified oxidative stress as a major biologic pathway underlying the toxic effect of air pollutants. Genetic susceptibility is likely to play a role in response to air pollution. Genes involved in oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways are logical candidates for the study of the interaction with air pollutants. In this article we use the example of asthma, a genetically complex disease, to address the issue of gene by environment interaction with air pollution. The majority of studies have focused on the genes GSTM1, GSTP1, NQO1, and TNF, but the inconsistency of the results prevents the drawing of firm conclusions. The limited sample size of most studies to date make them underpowered for the study of gene by gene interactions. Large consortia of studies with repeated measurements of environmental exposures and clear phenotypic assessments may help determine special environmental triggers and the window of susceptibility in the development of atopy and asthma. The role of gene by gene interactions and epigenetic mechanisms needs to be considered along with gene by environment interactions.

A case-control study of genetic, environmental, and occupational risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD) was carried out in five European countries (Italy, Malta, Romania, Scotland, and Sweden) to explore the possible contribution of interactions among host and environmental factors in sporadic PD. Whereas smoking habits confirmed its negative association with PD, a possible modulatory role of genetic polymorphisms was investigated to obtain further mechanistic insights. We recruited 767 cases of PD and 1989 age-matched and gender-matched controls. Participants completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire including the history of smoking habits. The polymorphisms of genes involved either in metabolism of compounds contained in tobacco smoke (CYP2D6, CYP1B1, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTM3, GSTP1, NQO1, SOD2, EPHX and NAT2) or in dopaminergic neurotransmission (MAOA, MAOB, DAT1 and DRD2) were characterized by PCR based methods on genomic DNA. We found evidence of statistically significant gene-tobacco interaction for GSTM1, NAT2, and GSTP1, the negative association between tobacco smoking and PD being significantly enhanced in subjects expressing GSTM1-1 activity, in NAT2 fast acetylators, and in those with the GSTP1*B*C haplotype. Owing to the retrospective design of the study, these results require confirmation.

The authors presented a comparative study of polymorphous loci Ile105Val and Ala114Val in GSTP1 gene, C609T and C464T in NQO1 gene, Pro197Leu in GPX1 gene of workers engaged into ethylbenzene-styrene (JSC "Salavatnefteorgsintez") and of apparently healthy individuals without occupational exposure to toxic chemicals. The same polymorphous markers were studied in workers differentiated according to health state. Occurrence of genotypes Ile/ Val of GSTP1 gene, Pro/Leu in GPX1 gene in the main group were lower vs. that in the reference one. Occurrence of CC genotype of polymorphous locus of C609T in NQO1 gene in the examinees exceeded that in the reference group. Distribution analysis of haplotypes of NQO1 and GSTP1 revealed high occurrence of *A haplotype of GSTP1 gene and low occurrence of *B haplotype in the main group vs. the reference one. The authors proved that molecular genetic marker of toxic liver affection is a heterozygous genotype of Pro/Leu in GPX1 gene and a combination of II/PL/CC genotypes of polymorphous markers Ile105Val in GSTP1 gene, C609T in NQO1 gene, Pro197Leu in GPX1 gene.
