In stratified analyses by control source, compared with the Ser/Ser genotype, lung cancer risk associated with the hOGG1 Cys/Cys genotype was significantly increased in population-based studies (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.04-1.67) but not in hospital-based studies (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.98-1.42); in stratified analyses by the smoking status, however, the increased risk was observed only among nonsmokers in a dominant model (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.04-1.67).
This study examines the association between 24 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) belonging to five BER genes (XRCC1, APEX1, PARP1, MUTYH and OGG1) and lung cancer among Latinos (113 cases and 299 controls) and African-Americans (255 cases and 280 controls).
Polymorphic allele 3 in hMMH/OGG1 exon 1 was significantly prevalent among Japanese patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung [odds ratio (OR): 3.152, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.266-7.845], indicating that the excision repair of 8-hydroxyguanine may play a role in predisposition to lung cancer.
These results suggest that the hOGG1Ser326Cys polymorphism plays an important role in the risk for lung cancer and is linked to exposure to tobacco smoke.
In our study, the possibility of an association of CYP1B1, GSTP1 and hOGG1 genetic polymorphisms with lung cancer was investigated in Chinese population of Nanjing, by a new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing approach of di-allele-specific-amplification with artificially modified primers (diASA-AMP) technique.
For example, there was a positive association between the OGG1Ser326Cys variant and gastric and lung cancer, while the XRCC1 Arg399Gln variant was associated with reduced cancer risk.
In a hospital-based, case-control study of 455 lung cancer cases and 443 cancer-free hospital controls, the SNPs of OGG1 (Ser326Cys), XRCC1 (Arg399Gln), APE1 (Asp148Glu and -141T/G) were genotyped and analyzed for their correlation with the risk of lung cancer in multivariate logistic regression models.
Some studies find positive associations between lung cancer and variations in the human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) gene that encodes a major DNA glycosylase for oxidized lesions with sluggish kinetics properties.
These results suggest that SNPs in the oxidative stress related-genes AKR1C3 and OGG1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer in this population, particularly among heavily exposed women.
In a nested case-cohort study, we have investigated the occurrence of lung cancer in relation to polymorphisms in base excision repair genes XRCC1 and OGG1.
We further demonstrated that bleomycin-induced DNA strand breaks resulted in an increase of micronucleus rate. hOGG1 deficiency significantly reduced DNA damage repair capacity of the lung cancer cell lines.
A combined MPG and OGG1 activities score was more strongly associated with lung cancer risk than either activity alone, with an odds ratio of 2.3 (95% CI = 1.4 to 3.6; P < .001).
Using the multifactor dimensionality reduction method, we found a model of gene-gene interactions associated with the risk of lung cancer: NBS1 (rs1805794)-XRCC1 (rs25487)-hOGG1 (rs1052133)-XPG (rs17655).
Case-control studies of genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair enzymes suggest that the common variant Ser326Cys in OGG1 may be a risk factor for lung cancer, whereas a rare variant in OGG1 and germ line mutations in the corresponding mismatch repair gene MYH are risk factors for hereditary colon cancer.
Using a functional assay for the removal of the oxidative DNA lesion 8-oxoguanine by the DNA-repair enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), we have previously shown that reduced OGG activity is a risk factor in lung cancer.
When all the eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis of OGG1Ser326Cys polymorphism, significantly increased lung cancer risk was observed in recessive model (OR = 1.17, 95 % CI = 1.03-1.33) and in additive model (OR = 1.21, 95 % CI = 1.03-1.42).
Although no significant association between any single genetic variant and lung cancer risk was observed, when genetic variants were analyzed in combination, a significant effect on lung cancer risk was found for the variant allele in a combination of five genes involved in oxidative stress and inflammatory response: GSTM1 (null), MPO (-463A), OGG1 (326Cys), TP53 (72Pro) (alias p53), MMP1 (2G).
Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for the risk of p53 mutation associated with polymorphisms of hOGG1 and APE1 in lung cancer.
