Combination of glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 and θ-1 deletion was associated with a significantly higher colorectal cancer risk compared to the presence of both full-length genes (aOR=1.58, CI=1.01-2.47, p=0.044).
Further investigation into the association between GSTM1 polymorphism and the risk of CRC is warranted and should include larger sample sizes and other genetic polymorphisms in metabolism of environmental carcinogens.
The three-way interaction analysis revealed that interactions between GSTM1 genotype and cigarette smoking and between GSTT1 genotype and alcohol drinking further modified the oxidative stress contribution for colorectal cancer (p for interaction were 0.067 and 0.054, respectively).
This is the first study to provide suggestive evidence for an effect of copy-number variation of GSTM1 on survival in colorectal cancer patients who received chemotherapy.
The aim of present study was to summarize the results of a case-control study focused on genetic polymorphisms of selected Phase II metabolizing enzymes (GSTM1, T1, P1) and to investigate the association of these polymorphisms with the colorectal cancer risk among the Slovak population.
These results also indicate that the NAT2 in combination with CYP1A1*2C, CYP1A2*1C, or GSTM1 genotypes may strongly confer susceptibility to colorectal cancer.
Apart from the simulation studies, we also illustrate the different methods by analyzing interactions of two commonly studied genes, N-acetyl transferase type 2 and glutathione s-transferase M1, with smoking and dietary exposures, in a large case-control study of colorectal cancer.
In addition the study supports the notion that the biotransformation enzymes GSTM1, GSTP1 and EPHX1 may modify the effect of dietary factors on the risk of developing colorectal carcinoma and adenoma.
Our objective was to measure the interactions between common polymorphisms of P450 (CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2E1), GSTM1 and T1, SULT1A1 and cigarette smoking in colorectal cancer (CRC).
In this retrospective cohort, we have investigated associations between common GSTM1, GSTM3 and GSTP1 polymorphisms with factors known to influence clinical out-come and patient survival in colorectal cancer.
Since GSTM1/GSTT1 genotype and dietary isothiocyanate (ITC) intake had previously been identified as CRC risk factors in this cohort, we now explored if they influenced the CCND1/CRC association.
Our aim was to evaluate the role of C-69T in GSTA1, Ile105Val in GSTP1, null allele in GSTT1 and GSTM1 in the prediction of toxicity in patients treated with 5-Fu/CPT-11/Lv regimens in metastatic CRC patients.
Colorectal cancer: the risk is greater for carriers of the GSTM1 null genotype (odds ratio [OR] = 1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.25-2.91), for carriers of the GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 3.62, 95% CI = 2.34-5.62), and for simultaneous carriers of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes (OR = 4.98, 95% CI = 2.77-9.00).
Meta analysis of these studies showed that GSTT1 deletion (pooled OR = 1.42), N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2)-rapid acetylator phenotype and genotye (pooled OR = 1.08) and NAT2-rapid acetylator phenotype (pooled OR = 1.15) had a significantly increased risk for colorectal cancer (P<0.05), other genotypes like GSTM1 deletion, GSTP1 1le105Val, NAT1*10, NAT2-rapid acetylator genotype CYP1A1 L1e462Val, CYP1A1 MspI*C, MTHFR C677T and MTR A2759G had no significant relationship with colorectal cancer (P>0.05).
The association of risk for colorectal cancer and selected red and white meat mutagen indices and the use of white meat drippings, or fried white meat variables was more evident within select combinations of the CYP1A1 genotype and either the GSTM1 genotype or NAT2 than with the CYP1A1 alone.
The GSTM1 0 allele (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.15-1.92) and rapid acetylator genotypes of NAT2 (OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.17-1.98) were associated with an elevated risk No statistically significant correlation between NAT1, GSTT1, GSTP1 genotypes and colorectal cancer was found.
In addition, the frequencies of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletion genotypes differed significantly between the cases and controls for current smokers; the GSTT1 null genotype especially is associated with a greater risk of colorectal cancer (OR = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.24-4.81).
