[PMID: 28764808 PMCID: PMC5539634 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-017-1183-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2016] [Accepted: 06/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Though a number of studies have been conducted to explore the association between myeloperoxidase (MPO)-463G > A polymorphism and cancer risk, the results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to derive a more systematic estimation of this relationship. METHOD Relevant studies were searched by PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, Google Scholar, Ovid, and Cochrane library prior to December 2015. The strength of the association between MPO-463G > A polymorphism and cancer risk was estimated by odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Cumulative analysis was used to evaluate the stability of results through time. RESULTS The current analysis consisted of 16,858 cases and 21,756 controls from 60 studies. Pooled results showed that MPO-463G > A polymorphism were associated with the overall decreased cancer susceptibility in all the genetic models included in this study (additive model: OR = 0.84, 95%CI = 0.76-0.94; allele genetic model: OR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.840-0.954; recessive genetic model: OR = 0.89, 95%CI = 0.83-0.95). However, in the stratified analysis of cancer type, the significant results were only found in lung cancer (dominant model: OR = 0.93, 95%CI = 0.87-0.99) and digestive system cancer groups (dominant model: OR = 0.67 0.53-0.84; allele frequency model = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.57-0.87), but not in the blood system cancer or breast cancer group. When we further stratified the digestive system cancer group into digestive tract and digestive gland cancer groups, results showed a significant association between allele A of MPO-463G > A and digestive gland cancer in all the genetic models (allele frequency model: OR = 0.63, 95%CI = 0.40-0.99; additive model: OR = 0.41, 95%CI = 0.23-0.73; recessive model: OR = 0.51, 95%CI = 0.29-0.89; dominant model: OR = 0.58, 95%CI = 0.35-0.96), digestive tract cancers in allele frequency model (OR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.59-0.95), and dominant model (OR = 0.72, 95%CI = 0.56-0.92). When stratified by ethnicity, results demonstrated that the genotype A might be a protect factor for both Caucasians and Asians. In group analysis according to source of controls, significant results were found in population from hospital in all the genetic models. In cumulative analysis, result of allele contrast showed a declining trend and increasingly narrower 95% overall, while the inclination toward non-significant association with lung cancer risk. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggested that MPO-463G > A polymorphism was associated with the overall reduced cancer susceptibility significantly. It might be a more reliable predictor of digestive system cancer instead of lung cancer, blood system cancer, and breast cancer. In cumulative analysis, the stable trend indicated that evidence was sufficient to show the association between MPO-463G > A polymorphism and cancer risk.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported the association of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) deletion polymorphism with genetic susceptibility of lung cancer in Chinese population. However, the results remained controversial. The aim of this study was to clarify the association of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism with lung cancer risk in Chinese population. Systematic searches were performed through the search engines of Medline/Pubmed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI and Wanfang Medical Online. The pooled effects were calculated by STATA 10.0 software package and Review Manager 5.0.24. Overall, we observed an association of GSTM1 deletion polymorphism with increased lung cancer risk in Chinese population (odds ratio (OR) = 1.46, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.32-1.66 for null genotype vs. present genotype) based on 53 studies including 7,833 cases and 10,353 controls. We also observed an increased risk of GSTM1 null genotype for lung cancer in stratified analyses by source of control, smoking status and histological type. The findings suggest that GSTM1 deletion polymorphism may contribute to lung cancer risk in Chinese population. Further, well-designed studies with larger sample sizes are required to verify the results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several molecular epidemiological studies have been conducted to examine the association between glutathione S-transferase M 1 (GSTM1) null genotype and lung cancer in Asians; however, the conclusions remained controversial. We therefore performed an extensive meta-analysis on 31 published case-control studies with a total of 5347 lung cancer cases and 6072 controls. MATERIAL/METHODS PubMed and EMBASE were searched to identify case-control studies investigating the associations of GSTM1 null genotype with risk of lung cancer in Asians. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between lung cancer risk and polymorphism of GSTM1. RESULTS GSTM1 null genotype was significantly associated with lung cancer risk (OR=1.43; 95% CI, 1.30-1.58). This result remained statistically significant when the adjusted ORs were combined (OR=1.38; 95% CI, 1.23-1.54). In the subgroup analysis by sex, there were significant associations in women and men. When stratifying for histology, this genotype showed increased adenocarcinoma risk and squamous cell carcinoma risk. In the subgroup analysis stratified by smoking status, lung cancer risk was increased in both smokers and non-smokers. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that GSTM1 null genotype is a risk factor for lung cancer in Asians.

The associations between two vital GSTs genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer risk in the Chinese population: evidence from 71 studies. PLoS One 2014; 9:e102372. [PMID: 25036724 PMCID: PMC4103841 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0102372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2014] [Accepted: 06/17/2014] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase (GSTs) have been suspected to be related to the development of lung cancer while the current results are conflicting, especially in the Chinese population. METHODS Data on genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1) from 68 studies, glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) from 17 studies and GSTM1-GSTT1 from 8 studies in the Chinese population were reanalyzed on their association with lung cancer risk. Odds ratios (OR) were pooled using forest plots. 9 subgroups were all or partly performed in the subgroup analyses. The Galbraith plot was used to identify the heterogeneous records. Potential publication biases were detected by Begg's and Egger's tests. RESULTS 71 eligible studies were identified after screening of 1608 articles. The increased association between two vital GSTs genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer risk was detected by random-effects model based on a comparable heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis showed a significant relationship between squamous carcinoma (SC), adenocarcinoma (AC) or small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and GSTM1 null genotype, as well as SC or AC and GSTT1 null genotype. Additionally, smokers with GSTM1 null genotype had a higher lung cancer risk than non-smokers. Our cumulative meta-analysis demonstrated a stable and reliable result of the relationship between GSTM1 null genotype and lung cancer risk. After the possible heterogeneous articles were omitted, the adjusted risk of GSTs and lung cancer susceptibility increased (fixed-effects model: ORGSTM1 = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.19 to 1.27, P<0.001; ORGSTT1 = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.26, P<0.001; ORGSTM1-GSTT1 = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.61, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS An increased risk of lung cancer with GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype, especially with dual null genotype, was found in the Chinese population. In addition, special histopathological classification of lung cancers and a wide range of gene-environment and gene-gene interaction analysis should be taken into consideration in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excessive alcohol intake can result in the oxidative stress in cells and the genetic variations of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes are responsible for the different degrees of toxicity of alcohol in several organs, such as the liver and immunological systems. We hypothesized that the alteration of oxidative stress due to some genetic variations of oxidative stress-related enzymes could result in changes of specific biomarkers, and heavy drinkers could be cautioned about the predictive likelihood to induce drinking-induced diseases. METHODS A total of 108 heavy drinkers and 106 nonheavy drinkers were enrolled and the hematological, biochemical, and immunological tests were measured; the genotypes of oxidative stress-related enzymes, including manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD1183T>C), glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1Pro198Leu), catalase (CAT-262C>T), and myeloperoxidase (MPO-463G>A), were assayed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). RESULTS For the males, the levels of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT), malondialdehyde (MDA), CD4(+), immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and IL-6 were significantly different between the two groups. Furthermore, there were higher proportions of CD19(+) cells and lower TNF-α levels in heavy drinkers with the MnSOD C carriers, and there were higher percentages of CD19(+) cells and IL-6 levels in heavy drinkers with the combined genotypes of MnSOD C carriers and MPO A carriers. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that heavy drinkers may be cautioned predictive likelihood for them to induce drinking-induced diseases by analyzing their MnSOD genotypes and immunological biomarkers.

Abstract
Inconsistent results are often found regarding the risk of genetic variants in lung cancer association studies. To alleviate these conflicts, we performed a large-scale meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of variants on lung cancer in East Asian population (Han Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). Forty-three genetic variants with data from at least three independent case-control studies were under investigation of which two variants (rs1800734 in hMLH1, rs2273953-rs1801173 bi-marker in P73) were first meta-analyzed in East Asians. We found that three variants in CYP1A1, GSTM1, and XRCC1 showed consistently significant associations with lung cancer in mixed analysis and stratified analysis, and several variants showed diverse effects interacting with different environmental factors in stratified analysis. Our study presents a comprehensive and systematic analysis of lung cancer association studies in East Asians and confirms the effect of three variants in lung cancer risk. Additionally, result from stratified analysis suggests the importance of inclusion of environmental factors, such as smoking and tumor histology, in the analysis.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Treatment outcomes vary greatly in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of radiation and chemotherapy drug action pathway gene polymorphisms on the survival of patients with locoregionally advanced NPC treated with cisplatin- and fluorouracil-based chemoradiotherapy. Material and Methods Four hundred twenty-one consecutive patients with locoregionally advanced NPC were prospectively recruited. We utilized a pathway approach and examined 18 polymorphisms in 13 major genes. Polymorphisms were detected using the LDR-PCR technique. Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis was performed to detect potential gene-gene interaction. Results After adjustment for clinicopathological characteristics, overall survival was significantly decreased in patients with the MPO rs2243828 CT/CC genotype (HR=2.453, 95% CI, 1.687-3.566, P<0.001). The ERCC1 rs3212986 CC (HR=1.711, 95% CI, 1.135-2.579, P=0.010), MDM2 rs2279744 GT/GG (HR=1.743, 95% CI, 1.086-2.798, P=0.021), MPO rs2243828 CT/CC (HR=3.184, 95% CI, 2.261-4.483, P<0.001) and ABCB1 rs2032582 AT/AA (HR=1.997, 95% CI, 1.086-3.670, P=0.026) genotypes were associated with poor progression-free survival. Prognostic score models based on independent prognostic factors successfully classified patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups. Furthermore, MDR analysis showed no significant interaction between polymorphisms. Conclusions Four single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with survival in patients with locoregionally advanced NPC treated with cisplatin- and fluorouracil-based chemoradiotherapy. Combining clinical prognostic factors with genetic information was valuable in identifying patients with different risk.

Abstract
There is a possible association between myeloperoxidase (MPO) 463G>A polymorphism and risk of lung cancer, but previous studies report conflicting results. We performed a meta-analysis of available molecular epidemiologic studies to comprehensively assess the association between MPO 463G>A polymorphism and risk of lung cancer. A systemic literature search was performed in Pubmed, Embase, and Wanfang databases for molecular epidemiologic studies on the association MPO 463G>A polymorphism and risk of lung cancer on March 16, 2013. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated to assess the strength of the association. Twenty-six individual case-control studies with a total of 18,433 subjects (7,752 cases and 10,681 controls) were finally included into the meta-analysis. Overall, MPO 463G>A polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased risk of lung cancer under two main genetic comparison models (for A versus G, OR = 0.91, 95 % CI 0.83-0.99, P = 0.035; for AG/AA versus GG, OR = 0.90, 95% CI 0.81-0.99, P = 0.029). Meta-analysis of studies with high quality also showed that MPO 463G>A polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased risk of lung cancer under two main genetic comparison models (for A versus G, OR = 0.91, 95% CI 0.83-0.99, P = 0.035; for AG/AA versus GG, OR = 0.90, 95% CI 0.80-0.99, P = 0.048). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity further showed that there was a significant association between MPO 463G>A polymorphism and decreased risk of lung cancer in Caucasians but not in Asians. The meta-analysis suggests that MPO 463G>A polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of lung cancer, especially in Caucasians.

Abstract
Many epidemiologic studies have investigated the association between myeloperoxidase (MPO) G-463A polymorphism and lung cancer risk, but the results were controversial. We performed a meta-analysis of 25 studies on MPO polymorphism and lung cancer risk published before July 2013. The allele of A was found to be associated with decreased risk of lung cancer compared with G allele (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.82-0.98) in the general population. The significant association remained in the comparison between AA + AG and GG (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.87-0.98). When it was stratified according to Asian population, the association between MPO polymorphism and lung cancer risk was further strengthened. However, no associations were found in the Caucasian population. This meta-analysis has demonstrated that MPO polymorphism might contribute to individual's susceptibility to lung cancer in Asian population. Caucasian authors could re-investigate the association between MPO polymorphism and lung cancer risk with more specific participants. Future studies focusing on interactions between combined genes and environmental risk factors are warranted.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an endogenous oxidant enzyme and can generate reactive oxygen species. The MPO G463A polymorphism influences MPO transcription levels and has been proposed to be associated with risk of lung cancer. To assess the effect of MPO G463A polymorphism on lung cancer risk in Asians, a pooled analysis of published case-control studies was performed. PubMed, Embase, China Biomedical Literature, and Wanfang Medicine databases were searched for eligible studies. The strength of the association between MPO G463A polymorphism and lung cancer risk was measured by odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (95% CI). Finally, eight studies with a total of 1,679 lung cancer cases and 1,876 non-cancer controls were included. Overall, MPO G463A polymorphism was associated with decreased risk of lung cancer risk in Asians under two genetic models (OR AA vs. GG = 0.58, 95% CI 0.36-0.96, P = 0.033; OR AA vs. GG+AG = 0.60, 95% CI 0.37-0.98, P = 0.040). There was no obvious risk of publication bias in this meta-analysis. In conclusion, the pooled analysis suggests that MPO G463A polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of lung cancer risk in Asians.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers in the world. The major socio-environmental risk factor involved in the development of lung cancer is cigarette smoking. Additionally, there are multiple genetic factors, which may also play a role in lung cancer risk. Early work focused on the presence of relatively prevalent but low-penetrance alterations in candidate genes leading to increased risk of lung cancer. Development of new technologies such as genomic profiling and genome-wide association studies has been helpful in the detection of new genetic variants likely involved in lung cancer risk. In this review, we discuss the role of multiple genetic variants and review their putative role in the risk of lung cancer. Identifying genetic biomarkers and patterns of genetic risk may be useful in the earlier detection and treatment of lung cancer patients.

Abstract
Smoking and the deletion of GSTM1 variant are two risk factors of lung cancer. This meta-analysis was performed to examine the GSTM1-smoking interaction on lung cancer in the Chinese population. PubMed, Web of Science, and other Chinese databases were searched to include all the related studies. The number of subjects with two GSTM1 genotypes across different smoking status was extracted. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed- or random-effect model. A total of 4,345 cases and 5,031 controls from 30 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with nonsmokers having power GSTM1, the pooled ORs with 95 % CIs for lung cancer in smokers with power GSTM1, in nonsmokers with null GSTM1, and in smokers with null GSTM1 were 2.24 (1.82-2.76), 1.48 (1.23-1.79), and 4.18 (3.38-5.16), respectively. This meta-analysis showed that there was an interaction between the GSTM1 and smoking on the risk of lung cancer in the Chinese. Further studies are needed to examine the interactions between other environmental factors and GSTM1 on the risk of lung cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is an overwhelming abundance of genetic association studies available in the literature, which can often be collectively difficult to interpret. To address this issue, the Venice interim guidelines were established for determining the credibility of the cumulative evidence. The objective of this report is to evaluate the literature on the association of common glutathione S-transferase (GST) variants (GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null and GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism) and lung cancer, and to assess the credibility of the associations using the newly proposed cumulative evidence guidelines. METHODS Information from the literature was enriched with an updated meta-analysis and a pooled analysis using data from the Genetic Susceptibility to Environmental Carcinogens database. RESULTS There was a significant association between GSTM1 null and lung cancer for the meta-analysis (meta odds ratio=1.17, 95% confidence interval: 1.10-1.25) and pooled analysis (adjusted odds ratio=1.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.04-1.16), although substantial heterogeneity was present. No overall association between lung cancer and GSTT1 null or GSTP1 Ile105Val was found. When the Venice criteria was applied, cumulative evidence for all associations were considered 'weak', with the exception of East Asian carriers of the G allele of GSTP1 Ile105Val, which was graded as 'moderate' evidence. CONCLUSION Despite the large amounts of studies, and several statistically significant summary estimates produced by meta-analyses, the application of the Venice criteria suggests extensive heterogeneity and susceptibility to bias for the studies on association of common genetic polymorphisms, such as with GST variants and lung cancer.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an endogenous oxidant enzyme that generates reactive oxygen species and plays an important role in the aetiology of cancer. The MPO -463G>A polymorphism influences MPO transcription and has been implicated in cancer risk. However, results from published studies on the association between the MPO -463G>A polymorphism and risk of cancer are conflicting. To derive a more precise estimation of association between the MPO -463G>A polymorphism and risk of cancer, we performed a meta-analysis based on 43 case-control studies, including a total of 14 171 cancer cases and 17 319 controls. We used odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the strength of the association. Overall, individuals with the -463A allele had a 0.93-fold lower cancer risk in a dominant model (OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.87-1.00). In the stratified analyses, we observed a similar association in European populations (heterozygote comparison: OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.82-0.99) and hospital-based studies (dominant model: OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.79-0.99). When stratified by cancer type, however, no significant association was found. The results suggested that the MPO -463A allele does not contribute to the development of cancer. Additional well-designed large studies are required to validate these findings in different populations.

Abstract
Nitric oxide ((.)NO) induces apoptosis at high concentrations by S-nitrosating proteins such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This literature analysis revealed that failure to sustain high (.)NO concentrations is common to all cancers. In cervical, gastric, colorectal, breast, and lung cancer, the cause of this failure is the inadequate expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), resulting from the inhibition of iNOS expression by TGF-beta1 at the mRNA level. In bladder, renal, and prostate cancer, the reason for the insufficient (.)NO levels is the depletion of arginine, resulting from arginase overexpression. Arginase competes with iNOS for arginine, catalyzing its hydrolysis to ornithine and urea. In gliomas and ovarian sarcomas, low (.)NO levels are caused by inhibition of iNOS by N-chlorotaurine, produced by infiltrating neutrophils. Stimulated neutrophils express myeloperoxidase, catalyzing H2O2 oxidation of Cl- to HOCl, which N-chlorinates taurine at its concentration of 19 mM in neutrophils. In squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, ovarian cancers, lymphomas, Hodgkin's disease, and breast cancers, low (.)NO concentrations arise from the inhibition of iNOS by N-bromotaurine, produced by eosinophil-peroxidase-expressing infiltrating eosinophils. Eosinophil peroxidase catalyzes the H2O2 oxidation of Br- to HOBr, which N-brominates taurine to N-bromotaurine at its concentration of 15 mM in eosinophils. In microvascularized tumors, the (.)NO concentration is further depleted; (.)NO is rapidly consumed by red blood cells (RBCs) through S-nitrosation of RBC glutathione and hemoglobin, and by oxidation to nitrate by RBC oxyhemoglobin. Angiogenesis-inhibiting antibodies are currently used to treat cancers; their mode of action is not, as previously thought, reduction of the tumor O2 or nutrient supply. They actually decrease the loss of (.)NO to RBCs.

Abstract
Multiple genes have been studied for potential associations with lung cancer. The gene most frequently associated with increased risk has been glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1). The glutathione S-transferase enzyme family is known to catalyze detoxification of electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and products of oxidative stress. In this review, the authors summarize the available evidence associating lung cancer with the GSTM1 gene. They describe results from an updated meta-analysis of 98 published genetic association studies investigating the relation between the GSTM1 null variant and lung cancer risk including 19,638 lung cancer cases and 25,266 controls (counting cases and controls in each study only once). All studies considered, the GSTM1 null variant was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (odds ratio (OR) = 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.14, 1.30), but no increase in risk was seen (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.91, 1.12) when only the five largest studies (>500 cases each) were considered. Furthermore, while GSTM1 null status conferred a significantly increased risk of lung cancer to East Asians (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.55), such a genotype did not confer increased risk to Caucasians. More data regarding the predictive value of GSTM1 genetic testing are needed before population-based testing may be reasonably considered.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to summarize the available molecular epidemiologic studies of lung cancer and metabolic genes, such as NAD(P)H quinone reductase 1 (NQO1) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). NQO1 plays a dual role in the detoxification and activation of procarcinogens whereas MPO has Phase I activity by converting lipophilic carcinogens into hydrophilic forms. Variant genotypes of both NQO1 Pro187 Ser and MPO G-463A polymorphisms may be related to low enzyme activity. The Pro/Ser and Ser/Ser genotypes combined of NQO1 was significantly associated with decreased risk of lung cancer in Japanese [random effects odds ratio (OR) = 0.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.56-0.88] among whom the variant allele is common. The variant genotype of MPO was associated with decreased risk of lung cancer among Caucasians (random effects OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.47-1.04). Gene-environment interactions in both polymorphisms may be hampered by inaccurate categorization of tobacco exposure. Evidence on gene-gene interactions is extremely limited. As lung cancer is a multifactorial disease, an improved understanding of such interactions may help identify individuals at risk for developing lung cancer. Such a study should include larger sample size and other polymorphisms in the metabolism of tobacco-derived carcinogens and address interactions with smoking status. The effects of polymorphisms are best represented by their haplotypes. In future studies on lung cancer, the development of haplotype-based approaches will facilitate the evaluation of haplotypic effects, either for selected polymorphisms physically close to each other or for multiple genes within the same drug-metabolism pathway.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an important metabolizing enzyme involved in oxidative stress responses to some environmental carcinogens including benzene, a chemical associated with bone marrow toxicity and leukemia. A novel multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique based on adapter-ligation mediated allele-specific amplification (ALM-ASA) is simple, inexpensive and especially useful for multiplex single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyping. The purpose of this study was to examine the genetic markers associated with acute leukemia from multiple SNPs of MPO found in Chinese Han population. A case-control study was conducted, with 135 patients with adult acute leukemia and 187 cancer-free subjects as a control group. Nine SNPs in promoter and exons were selected that were markers related to gene function and risk of leukemia development. The multiplex PCR technique based on ALM-ASA was used to detect multiple SNP genotypes. The accuracy of ALM-ASA was tested by sequence and PCRrestriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) genotyping analysis. No polymorphisms were found at -1468T > C, -1053T > C, 958C > T, 967C > A, 1033 T > C. A marked linkage disequilibrium was found among -1816, -586, and -463 genotypes. Three haplotypes were constructed. SNP and haplotypes analysis showed the frequency of the MPO -463G > A mutant genotypes (G/A+A/A) was significantly less in cancer cases. The results of sequence and PCR-RFLP yielded results similar to ALM-ASA. Data suggest that MPO G-463A mutant genotypes may be associated with a reduced risk of acute leukemia development due to diminished activation of carcinogens. MPO G-463A variant may possess a protective genetic marker against acute leukemia in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
Available data indicate that there are significant differences in individual susceptibility to lung cancer within the human population. It is believed to be underlie by inherited genetic predispositions related to the genetic polymorphism of several enzymes involved in the detoxification and xenobiotic metabolism. In this review, we collect and discuss the evidence reported up to date on the association between lung cancer and genetic polymorphism of cytochromes P450, N-acetyltransferase, glutathione S-transferases, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase, myeloperoxidase and glutathione peroxidase. All these genes might appear to be candidates for lung cancer susceptibility genes, nevertheless, the present state of the art still offers only a limited explanation of the link between such polymorphisms and increased risk of lung cancer.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase is a phase I metabolic enzyme that converts the metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene from tobacco smoke into highly reactive epoxides. A polymorphism in the promoter region of myeloperoxidase (463G-->A) has been found to be inversely associated with lung cancer; differences in the association with age and gender have been suggested. We conducted a pooled analysis of individual data from 10 studies (3688 cases and 3874 controls) from the Genetic Susceptibility to Environmental Carcinogens database. The odds ratio for lung cancer was 0.88 (95% confidence interval: 0.80-0.97) for the AG variant of myeloperoxidase G-463A polymorphism, and 0.71 (95% confidence interval: 0.57-0.88) for the AA variant after adjusting for smoking, age, gender, and ethnicity. The inverse association between lung cancer and myeloperoxidase G-463A polymorphism was equally found in males and females (odds ratio for the AA genotype 0.73 [95% confidence interval: 0.56-0.96] and 0.67 [95% confidence interval: 0.46-0.98], respectively), without differences in the association according to age in the two genders. The myeloperoxidase G-463A polymorphism was significantly protective in "ever" smokers but not in "never" smokers. Myeloperoxidase is a key enzyme in tobacco-induced carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are known to abolish or reduce the activities of intracellular enzymes that help detoxify environmental carcinogens, such as those found in tobacco smoke. It has been suggested that polymorphisms in the GST genes are risk factors for lung cancer, but a large number of studies have reported apparently conflicting results. METHODS AND FINDINGS Literature-based meta-analysis was supplemented by tabular data from investigators of all relevant studies of five GST polymorphisms (GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, I105V, and A114V polymorphisms in the GSTP1 genes, and GSTM3 intron 6 polymorphism) available before August, 2005, with investigation of potential sources of heterogeneity. Included in the present meta-analysis were 130 studies, involving a total of 23,452 lung cancer cases and 30,397 controls. In a combined analysis, the relative risks for lung cancer of the GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null polymorphisms were 1.18 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-1.23) and 1.09 (95% CI: 1.02-1.16), respectively, but in the larger studies they were only 1.04 (95% CI: 0.95-1.14) and 0.99 (95% CI: 0.86-1.11), respectively. In addition to size of study, ethnic background was a significant source of heterogeneity among studies of the GSTM1 null genotype, with possibly weaker associations in studies of individuals of European continental ancestry. Combined analyses of studies of the 105V, 114V, and GSTM3*B variants showed no significant overall associations with lung cancer, yielding per-allele relative risks of 1.04 (95% CI: 0.99-1.09), 1.15 (95% CI: 0.95-1.39), and 1.05 (95% CI: 0.89-1.23), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The risk of lung cancer is not strongly associated with the I105V and A114V polymorphisms in the GSTP1 gene or with GSTM3 intron 6 polymorphism. Given the non-significant associations in the larger studies, the relevance of the weakly positive overall associations with the GSTM1 null and the GSTT1 null polymorphisms is uncertain. As lung cancer has important environmental causes, understanding any genetic contribution to it in general populations will require the conduct of particularly large and comprehensive studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Lampang Province is situated in the northern region of Thailand. Incidence rates of lung cancer are high for Asian standards, particularly in women. This study was conducted to quantify the risk of lung cancer associated with exposures prevalent in the area and to investigate possible interactions with genetic susceptibility. The presence of several large open-cast coal mines from 1955 close to electricity-generating plants was a particular focus of concern. METHODS Two-hundred and eleven cases of primary lung cancers diagnosed in 1993 to 1995 and residents in the province were recruited at the Lampang Provincial Hospital (main referral center for treatment of the disease). Two sets of controls, frequency-matched to the cases by sex and age, were recruited (a) from the resident population (202 interviewed) and (b) from patients admitted to the hospital for diseases predominantly unrelated to tobacco smoking (211 interviewed). Sociodemographic information, complete residential history, and characteristics of the household (place of cooking, cooking fuel, and heating fuels), occupational history, and history of tobacco smoking were obtained by interview. Cases and controls ( approximately 50% of the population-based series) provided a blood sample. A point source air pollution exposure index was calculated for each village/township reported in residential histories based on the linear distance from the Mae Moh Center (the area of the electricity-generating plants), the year-specific gaseous (SO(2) and NO(2)) or total suspended particulate emissions from the Mae Moh Power Plant, and the percentage of wind from the center. Odds ratios (OR) for the disease associated with categorical variables were estimated within unconditional logistic regression. Extraction of genomic DNA and genotyping of variants in CYP1A1 and GSTM1 were conducted to assess the extent of modification of risk by these genes that are involved in the metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a common component of the exposures. RESULTS Overall, there was no evidence of relevant differences in the socioeconomic level of the three groups. The two control sets were similar with respect to lifelong tobacco habit and were subsequently pooled in analyses. Never-smokers were 7% of men and 33% of women. Smoking of local traditional products unfiltered and high in tar content is a common habit in the rural female population. ORs associated with smoking increased with duration of the habit and average daily amount, being 4.9 [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 2.5-9.7] for smokers of > or =7 cigarettes/d and 3.3 (95% CI, 1.7-6.2) for duration of 41 years or longer compared with nonsmokers. Smoking of local products was associated with an independent OR of 3.1 (95% CI, 1.7-5.6) adjusted for lifelong cumulative amount of tobacco smoked. Although most smokers had the habit for at least 16 years, the daily consumption was low compared with Western standards. Other potential sources of exposure to lung carcinogens (emission from the power-generating plants and domestic burning of coal and wood for cooking and heating) were not associated with increased risk of lung cancer. None of the three polymorphisms examined increased the risk of lung cancer or modified the risk associated with tobacco smoking. CONCLUSION In this rural population, 96% of male and 64% of female lung cancer incidence were explained by tobacco smoking. None of the potential sources of air pollution deriving from the combustion of coal and wood, or polymorphisms in the CYP1A1 gene or deletion of the GSTM1 had an effect on the risk of lung cancer, either together or separately.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase (MPO) contributes to pulmonary carcinogenesis through activation of a wide range of tobacco smoke procarcinogens, including benzo[a]pyrene and aromatic amines. A -463G>A polymorphism in the promoter region of the MPO gene has been shown to reduce MPO expression and activity. It is therefore possible that carriers of the -463A allele may be at decreased risk of lung cancer. To test this hypothesis we have investigated the association between the -463G>A polymorphism of MPO gene and the risk of lung cancer in a Korean population. METHODS The MPO genotype was determined in 432 lung cancer patients and 432 healthy controls that were frequency-matched for age and gender. RESULTS In the current study, the risk estimate for lung cancer of the combined -463 AA+GA genotype was not significantly different from that of the -463GG genotype (adjusted OR=1.03, 95% CI=0.72-1.47). In addition, we observed no evidence of effect modification by age, gender, smoking history or tumor histology. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the MPO -463G>A polymorphism does not significantly affect the susceptibility to lung cancer in Koreans.

Abstract
An association between functional polymorphisms of genes resulting in decreased detoxification of carcinogens or DNA repair and aberrant promoter methylation is an attractive hypothesis in lung carcinogenesis. The genotypes at polymorphic sites of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) M1 (null/wildtype) and P1 (nucleotide 2627 A/G), myeloperoxidase (MPO) (nucleotide -463 G/A), X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) (nucleotides 26304 C/T; 28152 G/A), and NADPH quinine oxidoreductase (NQO1) (nucleotide 609 C/T) genes in 75 Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were characterized with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results were correlated with aberrant methylation of the CDKN2A (alias p16(INK4A)), retinoic acid receptor beta (RARB), methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), and death-associated-protein (DAP) kinase genes in the tumors. In comparison with an age-matched control, none of the polymorphisms were associated with increased lung cancer risks. In male patients, however, the MPO -463 GG homozygous state was associated with CDKN2A (alias p16(INK4A)) methylation (odds ratio OR=3.63, 95% confidence interval CI=1.26-10.51), and the XRCC1 26304 T allele in the heterozygous/homozygous state was associated with methylation of CDKN2A (OR=6.13, 95% CI=1.55-24.16) and RARB (OR=7.67, 95% CI=1.62-36.18). In female patients, the GSTP1 G allele in the heterozygous/homozygous state was associated with RARB methylation (OR=18.0, 95% CI=0.76-427.29). These results showed that functional deficiencies in metabolic pathways that protect cells from carcinogen induced DNA damage might be linked to aberrant promoter methylation of the CDKN2A and RARB genes during lung carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Exclusively synthesized by normal neutrophil and monocyte precursor cells, myeloperoxidase (MPO) functions not only in host defense by mediating efficient microbial killing but also can contribute to progressive tissue damage in chronic inflammatory states such as atherosclerosis. The biosynthetic precursor, apoproMPO, is processed slowly in the ER, undergoing cotranslational N-glycosylation, transient interactions with the molecular chaperones calreticulin and calnexin, and heme incorporation to generate enzymatically active proMPO that is competent for export into the Golgi. After exiting the Golgi the propeptide is removed prior to final proteolytic processing in azurophil granules, resulting in formation of a symmetric MPO homodimer linked by a disulfide bond. Some proMPO escapes granule targeting and becomes constitutively secreted to the extracellular environment. Although the precise mechanism is unknown, the pro-segment is required for normal processing and targeting, as propeptide-deleted MPO precursor is either degraded or constitutively secreted. Characterizing the molecular consequences of naturally occurring mutations that cause inherited MPO deficiency provides unique insight into the structural determinants of MPO involved in biosynthesis, processing and targeting.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common urologic malignancy involving multiple factors. There is evidence that suggests that detoxification enzymes and growth factors may play a role in the formation of prostate cancer. Our aim was to investigate whether polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GST M1), insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2), and epidermal growth factor (EGFR) genes could be used as genetic markers for risk of prostate cancer. In this study, we compared the frequency of the polymorphisms of GST M1, IGF-2, and EGFR genes among 96 patients with prostate cancer and 121 healthy male volunteers from the same geographic area (age, older than 60 years). There was significant difference in the GST M1 genotype between the prostate cancer group and the control group (P=0.042). The GST M1 null genotype was significantly higher in the cancer group (59.4%) than in the control group (45.5%). However, our study did not reveal a significant association between prostate cancer and the distribution of the IGF-2 or EGFR genotypes. This study suggests that the GST M1 gene, but not the IGF-2 or the EGFR genes, may be a risk factor of developing prostate cancer in Taiwan.

Abstract
Despite an extensive literature, the relationship between asbestos exposure and lung cancer remains the subject of controversy, related to the fact that most asbestos-associated lung cancers occur in those who are also cigarette smokers: because smoking represents the strongest identifiable lung cancer risk factor among many others, and lung cancer is not uncommon across industrialised societies, analysis of the combined (synergistic) effects of smoking and asbestos on lung cancer risk is a more complex exercise than the relationship between asbestos inhalation and mesothelioma. As a follow-on from previous reviews of prevailing evidence, this review critically evaluates more recent studies on this relationship--concentrating on those published between 1997 and 2004--including lung cancer to mesothelioma ratios, the interactive effects of cigarette smoke and asbestos in combination, and the cumulative exposure model for lung cancer induction as set forth in The Helsinki Criteria and The AWARD Criteria (as opposed to the asbestosis-->cancer model), together with discussion of differential genetic susceptibility/resistance factors for lung carcinogenesis by both cigarette smoke and asbestos. The authors conclude that: (i) the prevailing evidence strongly supports the cumulative exposure model; (ii) the criteria for probabilistic attribution of lung cancer to mixed asbestos exposures as a consequence of the production and end-use of asbestos-containing products such as insulation and asbestos-cement building materials--as embodied in The Helsinki and AWARD Criteria--conform to, and are further consolidated by, the new evidence discussed in this review; (iii) different attribution criteria (e.g., greater cumulative exposures) are appropriate for chrysotile mining/milling and perhaps for other chrysotile-only exposures, such as friction products manufacture, than for amphibole-only exposures or mixed asbestos exposures; and (iv) emerging evidence on genetic susceptibility/resistance factors for lung cancer risk as a consequence of cigarette smoking, and potentially also asbestos exposure, suggests that genotypic variation may represent an additional confounding factor potentially affecting the strength of association and hence the probability of causal contribution in the individual subject, but at present there is insufficient evidence to draw any meaningful conclusions concerning variation in asbestos-mediated lung cancer risk relative to such resistance/susceptibility factors.

Abstract
The genetic susceptibility hypothesis has been used to explain why only a minority of smokers develop lung cancer. Only few studies have studied the role of polymorphisms in phase-I and II metabolizing genes, among young lung cancer patients. We have pooled the individual data of three studies from Denmark and Norway, including 320 patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer at age 59 or below, and 618 age and gender matched controls. A questionnaire was used to determine relevant demographic and lifestyle characteristics, and polymorphisms in following genotypes were determined GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTP1, GSTT1, GPX1, MPO, NQO1 and NAT2. Based on the literature, the alleles of the genotypes were categorised as high- or low-risk alleles. No individual effect of the genotypes was found on the risk of lung cancer. Given a smoking exposure, the presence of high-risk alleles (or phenotypes) was generally found to increase the risk of lung cancer, although the effect modification did not reach statistical significance. A pattern of stronger protective effect was observed in carriers of more than one allele associated with lower risk of lung cancer, and a higher risk of lung cancer in carriers of one or more alleles associated with higher risk of lung cancer, but the results did not reach statistical significance. The effect modification was generally strongest at lower levels of smoking.

Abstract
Manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are polymorphic enzymes involved in reactive oxidative species metabolism. In this case-control study (830 non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients; 1119 controls) we evaluated whether the MPO -G463A polymorphism (associated with a novel estrogen receptor binding site) modifies the association between the SOD2 Ala16Val polymorphism and NSCLC risk differently by gender. For women carrying the MPO variant genotypes, the adjusted odds ratio of the SOD2 polymorphism (Val/Val vs. Ala/Ala) was 3.26 (95% CI, 1.55-6.83). No associations were found in men or in women carrying the MPO GG wildtype genotype.

Abstract
Abstract
The myeloperoxidase (MPO) −463G→A genetic polymorphism is associated with a reduced risk for lung cancer, but the underlying mechanism is not yet elucidated. Therefore, the impact of this polymorphism on MPO activity and lipophilic DNA adducts was studied in respectively bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and cells, from 106 smoking Caucasian lung patients. MPO activity was determined spectrophotometrically, aromatic DNA adducts by 32P-postlabeling and MPO genotypes by RFLP analysis. Frequencies of MPO −463AA (13%), MPO −463AG (36%), and MPO −463GG (51%) were in line with earlier observations. MPO activity/neutrophil was lower in MPO −463AA (median 0.04 pU/cell) than in MPO −463AG (median 0.07 pU/cell) and MPO −463GG (median 0.14 pU/cell; P = 0.059) individuals. DNA adducts in BAL cells were measured in 11 MPO −463AA subjects and equal numbers of MPO −463AG and MPO −463GG subjects matched for smoking, age, gender, and clinical diagnosis. DNA adduct levels in MPO −463AA individuals (median 0.62 adducts/108 nucleotides) were lower than in MPO −463AG (median 1.51 adducts/108 nucleotides) and MPO −463GG (median 3.26 adducts/108 nucleotides; P = 0.003) subjects. Overall, no significant correlation was observed between amount of inhaled tar/day and DNA adduct levels. However, correlations improved considerably on grouping according to the MPO genotype; MPO −463AA subjects were the least responsive (R2 = 0.73, slope = 0.4, P = 0.01) followed by MPO −463AG subjects (R2 = 0.70, slope = 1.3, P = 0.01) and MPO −463GG patients (R2 = 0.67, slope = 2.8, P = 0.02). These data demonstrate that MPO −463AA/AG genotypes are associated with (a) reduced MPO activity in BAL fluid and (b) reduced smoking-related DNA adduct levels in BAL cells in a gene-dose manner. These data provide a plausible biological explanation for the reduced risk for lung cancer as observed in MPO −463AA/AG compared with MPO −463GG subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Hmong, an isolated, agrarian people from southern China, migrated to the mountainous regions of what are today Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Minnesota has the second largest Hmong population in the United States. The authors compared frequencies of common genetic polymorphisms believed to influence risk of malignancy to determine whether frequencies in the Hmong are different from those in other Asian populations and in white Minnesotans. METHODS Genotyping for glutathione S-transferase micro1 (GSTM1), glutathione S-transferase theta1 (GSTT1), myeloperoxidase (MPO) (C(-)463T), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) (C609T), 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) (C677T), MTHFR (A1298C), methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) (A66G), X-ray repair cross complementing 1 (XRCC1) 194 (Arg194Trp), XRCC1 280 (Arg280His), and XRCC1 399 (Arg399Gln) alleles was performed by TaqMan analysis using DNA isolated from newborn heel-stick spots provided by the Minnesota Department of Health. RESULTS The Hmong had significantly higher frequencies of the NQO1 T allele and the XRCC1 Trp polymorphism (Arg194Trp) and had significantly lower frequencies of the G allele in MTRR (A66G) and the T allele in MTHFR (C677T) compared with white Minnesotans. The Hmong also were significantly more likely to lack the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes compared with whites (82% vs. 54% and 61% vs. 18%, respectively). Genotype frequencies were similar for MTHFR (A1298C), MPO (C(-)463T), and XRCC1 (Arg280His, Arg399Gln). Genotype frequencies at these loci also were compared with those reported for other Asian populations and showed notable differences between the Hmong and Chinese/Taiwanese, Korean, and Japanese populations. CONCLUSIONS The genetic differences identified have implications for both cancer etiology and prognosis in this unique population.
