Genetic polymorphisms in GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 genes and risk of lung cancer in a North Indian population. Cancer Epidemiol 2015; 39:947-55. [PMID: 26529288 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2015.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2015] [Revised: 09/09/2015] [Accepted: 10/14/2015] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of studies done so far in different populations have shown that polymorphisms within the GST genes play an important role in determining individual susceptibility to lung cancer; however, data obtained so far have been contradictory within the same or different populations. Few studies have focused on the combinatorial effect of the GST genes on susceptibility to lung cancer and also for different histological subtypes. Our aim is to investigate the roles of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 polymorphisms as genetic modifiers of risk for lung cancer and histological subtypes using a larger sample size in a North Indian population. METHODS In total 540 subjects (270 lung cancer cases and 270 controls) were evaluated for the GST polymorphism. Genotyping for the GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 gene was done by using a multiplex PCR and PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS GSTM1 null genotype was found to be associated with lung cancer (OR=1.65, 95%CI: 116-2.3, P=0.005) and this risk was higher in cases of adenocarcinoma (ADCC). GSTT1 and GSTP1 did not show any significant association with lung cancer; however, when stratified for histological subtypes a significant association was observed for ADCC and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) for both GSTT1 null and variant GSTP1 genotypes. The combined 'at risk' genotypes of null GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were found to be associated with lung cancer risk, and this risk was higher in cases of ADCC (OR=4.09, 95%CI: 110-10.2, P=0.002). There is a twofold increased risk for lung cancer with the null GSTM1 and wild-type GSTP1 genotypes (P=0.0004); similarly, a fourfold increased risk was observed with the null GSTT1 and wild-type GSTP1 genotypes (P=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The deficient GST genotypes seem thus to be important risk modifiers for lung cancer and related histological subtypes, especially in combination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies investigating the relationship between glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) gene deletion polymorphism and lung cancer risk among Chinese population produced inconsistent results. To obtain a precise conclusion, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between GSTT1 deletion polymorphism and lung cancer risk among Chinese population. METHODS The databases of Medline/PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang Med Online, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched. The strength of the association was assessed by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS Overall, we found an increased lung cancer risk among subjects carrying GSTT1 null genotype compared with those carrying present genotype (OR =1.31, 95% CI: 1.12-1.52) on the basis of 20 studies with 3,351 cases and 4,683 controls. We also observed an increased risk of lung cancer among subjects carrying GSTT1 null genotype compared with those carrying present genotype in stratified analyses (OR =1.31, 95% CI: 1.11-1.55 for healthy subjects-based control; OR =2.29, 95% CI: 1.84-2.85 for squamous cell carcinoma and OR =1.47, 95% CI: 1.22-1.77 for adenocarcinoma, respectively). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggested that GSTT1 deletion polymorphism might contribute to lung cancer risk among Chinese population.

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
The GSTT1 gene encodes a key enzyme involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and its polymorphisms have been associated with individual susceptibility to various malignancies. Numerous molecular epidemiological studies have been performed to investigate the association between GSTT1 gene polymorphisms and lung cancer susceptibility; however, the results of previous studies were inconsistent. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to conduct a meta-analysis in order to derive a more precise estimation of the association in the East Asian populations. The meta-analysis included 7,415 lung cancer cases and 6,084 controls from 26 published studies in East Asia, which were selected from the PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, up to March 20, 2014. Using crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), a statistically significant association was identified between the GSTT1 null genotype and lung cancer in the East Asian populations (OR=1.17; 95% CI, 1.09–1.25; Pheterogeneity=0.003). Furthermore, subgroup analyses revealed that the lung cancer risk in smokers carrying the GSTT1 null genotype was significantly increased compared with non-smokers (OR=1.71; 95% CI, 1.04–2.81; Pheterogeneity=0.002). Thus, the GSTT1 null genotype may increase the risk of lung cancer among the East Asian populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Susceptibility to lung cancer has been shown to be modulated by inheritance of polymorphic genes encoding cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and glutathione S transferases (GSTM1 and GSTT1), which are involved in the bioactivation and detoxification of environmental toxins. This might be a factor in the variation in lung cancer incidence with ethnicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a case-control study of 218 northern Indian lung cancer patients along with 238 healthy controls, to assess any association between CYP1A1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms, either separately or in combination, with the likelihood of development of Lung cancer in our population. RESULTS We observed a significant difference in the GSTT1 null deletion frequency in this population when compared with other populations (OR=1.87, 95%CI: 1.25-2.80-0.73, P=0.002). However, GSTM1 null genotype was found associated with lung cancer in the non-smoking subgroup. (P=0.170). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed the GSTT1 null polymorphism to be associated with smoking-induced lung cancer and the GSTM1 null polymorphism to have a link with non-smoking related lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variation in metabolic genes is regarded as an important factor in processes leading to cancer. However, the effect of GSTT1 null genotype is divergent in the form of lung cancer. METHODS Studies were conducted at different research databases from 1990 to 2013 and the total odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for lung cancer. Review Manager 5.2 and STATE 12 are employed. RESULTS Total OR value is calculated from 17 articles with 2,118 cases and 2,915 controls. We discovered no significant increase in lung cancer risk among subjects carrying GSTT1 null genotype [OR = 1.15; 95% CI 0.97-1.36] in this meta- analysis. CONCLUSION The GSTT1 deletion polymorphism does not have a significant effect on the susceptibility to lung cancer overall in China.

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.

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 Glutathione S-transferase (GST) T1 and M1 are detoxification enzymes which neutralize various carcinogenic compounds. Polymorphisms of the GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes which encode the enzymes could be associated with cancer risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS We investigated the association of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null polymorphisms with lung cancer risk in a tightly matched, considerably large sample in China. Genotyping was performed utilizing polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis and DNA sequencing, and associations were measured by using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS We found that the null genotypes of both polymorphisms resulted in an increased lung cancer risk, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.57 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23-2.00) for GSTT1 and OR 1.87 (95% CI 1.46-2.39) for GSTM1 (p < 0.01). Significant associations remained after stratification by histopathology (p < 0.01) and smoking status (p < 0.05). When gender-stratified association was performed, we found that the GSTT1 null genotype resulted in an increased risk among males (adjusted OR 2.95, 95% CI 2.07-4.20; p < 0.01) but not females (p > 0.05), while the GSTM1 null genotype resulted in an increased risk among females (adjusted OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.54-3.10; p < 0.01) but not males (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Polymorphisms in GSTT1 and GSTM1 are associated with the risk of lung cancer in a gender-specific manner.

Abstract
The relationship between glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer from the published reports are still conflicting. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between GSTT1 polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer. A comprehensive research was conducted through the databases, and 55 studies were recruited into this meta-analysis for the association of null genotype of GSTT1 with lung cancer susceptibility, consisting of 15,140 patients with lung cancer and 16,662 controls. There was a significant association between GSTT1 null genotype and lung cancer risk in the overall populations (OR = 1.138, 95% CI = 1.032-1.255, P heterogeneity = 0.000, P = 0.009). Furthermore, GSTT1 null genotype was associated with the lung cancer risk in Asians (OR = 1.469, 95% CI = 1.228-1.757, P heterogeneity = 0.000, P = 0.000). However, GSTT1 null genotype was not associated with the risk of lung cancer in Caucasians and Africans. In conclusion, GSTT1 null genotype is associated with the lung cancer in overall populations and in Asians.

Abstract
The relationship between glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) null/presence gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer from the published reports are still conflicting. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between GSTT1 null/presence gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer using meta-analysis method. The association studies were identified from PubMed, and Cochrane Library on July 1, 2012, and eligible investigations were included and synthesized using meta-analysis method. 51 reports were recruited into this meta-analysis for the association of null genotype of GSTT1 with lung cancer susceptibility, consisting of 15,140 patients with lung cancer and 16,662 controls. There was a marked association between GSTT1 null genotype and lung cancer risk in overall populations (OR = 1.15, 95 % CI 1.04-1.27, P = 0.007). Furthermore, GSTT1 null genotype was associated with the lung cancer risk in Asians (OR = 1.47, 95 % CI 1.23-1.76, P < 0.0001). However, GSTT1 null genotype was not associated with the risk of lung cancer in Caucasians, Brazilian population and Africans. In conclusion, GSTT1 null genotype is associated with the lung cancer in overall populations and in Asians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic variation in glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) may contribute to lung cancer risk. Many studies have investigated the correlation between the Glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) null genotype and lung cancer risk in Asian population but yielded inconclusive results. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We performed a meta-analysis of 23 studies including 4065 cases and 5390 controls. We assessed the strength of the association of GSTT1 with lung cancer risk and performed sub-group analyses by source of controls, smoking status, histological types, and sample size. A statistically significant correlation between GSTT1 null genotype and lung cancer in Asian population was observed (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.10, 1.49; Pheterogeneity<0.001 and I(2) = 62.0%). Sub-group analysis revealed there was a statistically increased lung cancer risk in ever-smokers who carried the GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.27, 2.96; P heterogeneity = 0.02 and I(2) = 58.1%). It was also indicated that GSTT1 null genotype could increase lung cancer risk among population-based studies (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.04, 1.50; Pheterogeneity = 0.003 and I(2) = 56.8%). The positive association was also found in studies of sample size (≤500 participants) (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.10, 1.62; Pheterogeneity<0.001 and I(2) = 65.4%). CONCLUSIONS These meta-analysis results suggest that GSTT1 null genotype is associated with a significantly increased risk of lung cancer in Asian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indoor air pollution (IAP) derived largely from the use of solid fuels for cooking and heating affects about 3 billion people worldwide, resulting in substantial adverse health outcomes, including cancer. Women and children from developing countries are the most exposed populations. A workshop was held in Arlington, Virginia, 9-11 May 2011, to better understand women's and children's potential health effects from IAP in developing countries. Workshop participants included international scientists, manufacturers, policy and regulatory officials, community leaders, and advocates who held extensive discussions to help identify future research needs. OBJECTIVES Our objective was to identify research opportunities regarding IAP and cancer, including research questions that could be incorporated into studies of interventions to reduce IAP exposure. In this commentary, we describe the state of the science in understanding IAP and its associations with cancer and suggest research opportunities for improving our understanding of the issues. DISCUSSION Opportunities for research on IAP and cancer include studies of the effect of IAP on cancers other than lung cancer; studies of genetic factors that modify susceptibility; studies to determine whether the effects of IAP are mediated via germline, somatic, and/or epigenetic changes; and studies of the effects of IAP exposure via dermal and/or oral routes. CONCLUSIONS IAP from indoor coal use increases the risk of lung cancer. Installing chimneys can reduce risk, and some genotypes, including GSTM1-null, can increase risk. Additional research is needed regarding the effects of IAP on other cancers and the effects of different types of solid fuels, oral and dermal routes of IAP exposure, genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, and genetic susceptibility.

Abstract
The conclusions of the published reports on the relationship between glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer are still debated. GSTP1 is one of the important mutant sites reported at present. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between GSTP1 and the risk of lung cancer. The association investigations were identified from PubMed and Cochrane Library, and eligible studies were included and synthesized using meta-analysis method. Forty-four reports were included into this meta-analysis for the association of GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and lung cancer susceptibility, consisting of 12,363 patients with lung cancer and 13,948 controls. The association between GSTPI G allele and lung cancer risk was found in this meta-analysis (OR 1.08, 95 % CI 1.02-1.15, P = 0.01). However, the GG genotype and AA genotype were not associated with the susceptibility of lung cancer. Furthermore, there was no association between GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer in Caucasians, and East-Asians. In conclusion, GSTP1 G allele is associated with the lung cancer susceptibility. However, more studies on the relationship between GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer should be performed in the future.

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
Genetic variations in metabolic genes are considered to modulate metabolic process of carcinogens and are suggested to be related to cancer risk. However, epidemiological results are not always consistent. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated reported studies of association between polymorphism of glutathione S-transferase T1 gene (GSTT1) and the risk of lung cancer in Chinese population. We found an increased lung cancer risk among subjects carrying GSTT1 null genotype [odds ratio (OR)=1.36, 95 percent confidence interval (95% CI): 1.09-1.69], using 1625 cases and 2188 controls from 11 studies. We also observed an increased risk of lung cancer among null genotype carriers in squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, and on the basis of population control in stratified analyses. The meta-analysis suggests that GSTT1 deletion polymorphisms may have an effect on the susceptibility of lung cancer in Chinese population, and a study with the larger sample size is needed to further evaluate gene-gene and gene-environment interaction on GSTT1 deletion polymorphisms and lung cancer risk in Chinese population.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) M1 and T1 are known to be polymorphic in humans. Both polymorphisms are due to gene deletions which are responsible for the existence of null genotypes. Previous studies have suggested that GST genotypes may play a role in determining susceptibility to a number of unrelated cancers, including lung cancer. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms were determined by PCR-based analysis in 75 lung cancer patients and 55 controls. The unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to calculate ORs and 95% CI. The frequencies of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes were 37.3 and 22.7% in lung cancer patients and 27.3 and 16.4% in controls, respectively. When analyzed by histology the GSTM1 null genotype was more prevalent in squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma patients. Whereas, GSTT1 null genotype frequency was lower in small-cell lung cancer patients than controls. But these differences were not statistically significant. According to smoking status, null genotype for both gene are associated with an increase in risk for lung cancer. Our results suggest that GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms may play a role in the development of lung cancer for some histological subtypes and modifies the risk of smoking-related lung cancer.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. Polymorphisms in genes associated with carcinogen metabolism may modulate risk of disease. Glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) detoxifies polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in cigarette smoke and is the most highly expressed glutathione S-transferase in lung tissue. A polymorphism in the GSTP1 gene, an A-to-G transition in exon 5 (Ile105Val, 313A --> 313G), results in lower activity among individuals who carry the valine allele. The authors present a meta- and a pooled analysis of case-control studies that examined the association between this polymorphism in GSTP1 and lung cancer risk (27 studies, 8,322 cases and 8,844 controls and 15 studies, 4,282 cases and 5,032 controls, respectively). Overall, the meta-analysis found no significant association between lung cancer risk and the GSTP1 exon 5 polymorphism. In the pooled analysis, there was an overall association (odds ratio = 1.11, 95% confidence interval: 1.03, 1.21) between lung cancer and carriage of the GSTP1 Val/Val or Ile/Val genotype compared with those carrying the Ile/Ile genotype. Increased risk varied by histologic type in Asians. There appears to be evidence for interaction between amount of smoking, the GSTP1 exon 5 polymorphism, and risk of lung cancer in whites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Differences in the epidemiology of lung cancer between Asians and non-Hispanic whites have brought to light the relative influences of genetic and environmental factors on lung cancer risk. We set out to describe the epidemiology of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) among Asians living in California, and to explore the effects of acculturation on lung cancer risk by comparing lung cancer rates between U.S.-born and foreign-born Asians. METHODS Age-adjusted incidence rates of NSCLC were calculated for Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and South Asians in California between 1988 and 2003 using data from the California Cancer Registry. Incidence rates were calculated and stratified by sex and nativity. We analyzed population-based tobacco smoking prevalence data to determine whether differences in rates were associated with prevalence of tobacco smoking. RESULTS Asians have overall lower incidence rates of NSCLC compared with whites (29.8 and 57.7 per 100,000, respectively). South Asians have markedly low rates of NSCLC (12.0 per 100,000). Foreign-born Asian men and women have an approximately 35% higher rate of NSCLC than U.S.-born Asian men and women. The incidence pattern by nativity is consistent with the population prevalence of smoking among Asian men; however, among women, the prevalence of smoking is higher among U.S.-born, which is counter to their incidence patterns. CONCLUSIONS Foreign-born Asians have a higher rate of NSCLC than U.S.-born Asians, which may be due to environmental tobacco smoke or nontobacco exposures among women. South Asians have a remarkably low rate of NSCLC that approaches white levels among the U.S.-born. More studies with individual-level survey data are needed to identify the specific environmental factors associated with differential lung cancer risk occurring with acculturation among Asians.

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
Genetic polymorphisms of cytochrome p450 (CYP1A1) and glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) genes are thought to have significant effects on the metabolism of environmental carcinogens and thus on cancer risk, but the reported results are not always consistent. In this meta-analysis, we assessed reported studies of associations between polymorphisms of these two genes and risk of lung cancer in Chinese populations. Through a systematic literature search for publications between 1989 and 2006, we summarized the data from 46 studies on polymorphisms of MspI and exon7-Val of CYP1A1 and GSTM1 and lung cancer risk in Chinese populations, and found that compared with the wild-type homozygous genotype (type A), lung cancer risk for the combined variant genotypes (types B and C) was 1.34-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.08-1.67) (Z=2.64, P=0.008); the risk for the combined variant genotypes (Ile/Val and Val/Val) of CYP1A1 exon7 was 1.61-fold (95% CI=1.24-2.08) (Z=3.62, P<0.001), compared with the Ile/Ile genotype; and that the risk for the GSTM1 null genotype was 1.54-fold (95% CI=1.31-1.80) (Z=5.32, P<0.001), compared with the GSTM1 present genotype. Therefore, in 46 published studies in Chinese populations, we found evidence of an association between the CYP1A1 variant and GSTM1 null genotypes and increased risk of lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is a disease associated with oxidative stress. The glutathione S-transferases (GST) are a group of enzymes that protect cells from oxidative stress. Functional genetic polymorphisms of GST genes (GSTT1, GSTM1 and GSTP1) have previously been reported. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of GST gene polymorphisms and its enzyme activity with the risk of asthma in Hong Kong Chinese adults. METHODS An age- and smoking status-matched case-control study was carried out on 315 patients with asthma and 315 healthy controls. Genotyping was carried out on genomic DNA using the PCR and/or restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Plasma GST activity was measured by fluorometric assay. RESULTS The distribution of various genotypes or alleles of the GSTT1, GSTM1 and GSTP1 was not significantly different between patients with asthma and healthy controls. The GSTM1 null genotype was found to be protective from the development of asthma in atopic subjects (odds ratios 0.55, 95% confidence interval 0.34-0.90; P=0.017). However, there was no association between GSTT1 and GSTM1 null genotypes and enzyme activity. GSTP1 codon 105 Val variants led to reduced plasma GST activity in healthy controls. Asthma patients had elevated plasma GST activity compared with healthy controls irrespective of their genotypes (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that among atopic subjects, the GSTM1 null genotype is associated with a decreased risk for asthma despite increased level of plasma GST activity in asthma, but it could not distinguish whether this increase is a potentially protective compensatory effect or a pathogenic factor.

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
About half of the world's population is exposed to smoke from heating or cooking with coal, wood, or biomass. These exposures, and fumes from cooking oil use, have been associated with increased lung cancer risk. Glutathione S-transferases play an important role in the detoxification of a wide range of human carcinogens in these exposures. Functional polymorphisms have been identified in the GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genes, which may alter the risk of lung cancer among individuals exposed to coal, wood, and biomass smoke, and cooking oil fumes. We performed a meta-analysis of 6 published studies (912 cases; 1063 controls) from regions in Asia where indoor air pollution makes a substantial contribution to lung cancer risk, and evaluated the association between the GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, and GSTP1 105Val polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. Using a random effects model, we found that carriers of the GSTM1 null genotype had a borderline significant increased lung cancer risk (odds ratio (OR), 1.31; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.95-1.79; p=0.10), which was particularly evident in the summary risk estimate for the four studies carried out in regions of Asia that use coal for heating and cooking (OR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.25-2.14; p=0.0003). The GSTT1 null genotype was also associated with an increased lung cancer risk (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.17-1.89; p=0.001), but no association was observed for the GSTP1 105Val allele. Previous meta- and pooled-analyses suggest at most a small association between the GSTM1 null genotype and lung cancer risk in populations where the vast majority of lung cancer is attributed to tobacco, and where indoor air pollution from domestic heating and cooking is much less than in developing Asian countries. Our results suggest that the GSTM1 null genotype may be associated with a more substantial risk of lung cancer in populations with coal exposure.

Abstract
This article introduces an approach to estimating the uncertain potential effects on lung cancer risk of removing a particular constituent, cadmium (Cd), from cigarette smoke, given the useful but incomplete scientific information available about its modes of action. The approach considers normal cell proliferation; DNA repair inhibition in normal cells affected by initiating events; proliferation, promotion, and progression of initiated cells; and death or sparing of initiated and malignant cells as they are further transformed to become fully tumorigenic. Rather than estimating unmeasured model parameters by curve fitting to epidemiological or animal experimental tumor data, we attempt rough estimates of parameters based on their biological interpretations and comparison to corresponding genetic polymorphism data. The resulting parameter estimates are admittedly uncertain and approximate, but they suggest a portfolio approach to estimating impacts of removing Cd that gives usefully robust conclusions. This approach views Cd as creating a portfolio of uncertain health impacts that can be expressed as biologically independent relative risk factors having clear mechanistic interpretations. Because Cd can act through many distinct biological mechanisms, it appears likely (subjective probability greater than 40%) that removing Cd from cigarette smoke would reduce smoker risks of lung cancer by at least 10%, although it is possible (consistent with what is known) that the true effect could be much larger or smaller. Conservative estimates and assumptions made in this calculation suggest that the true impact could be greater for some smokers. This conclusion appears to be robust to many scientific uncertainties about Cd and smoking effects.

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
BACKGROUND Since genetic factors may play an important role in lung cancer development at low dose carcinogen exposure, non-smokers are a good model to study genetic susceptibility and its interaction with environmental factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the role of the metabolic gene polymorphisms CYP1A1MspI, CYP1A1Ile462Val, GSTM1, and GSTT1 in non-smoker lung cancer patients from the International Collaborative Study on Genetic Susceptibility to Environmental Carcinogens (GSEC). Non-smokers (defined as subjects who never smoked on a regular basis) were selected from the GSEC database. We pooled the raw data from 21 case-control studies for a total of 2764 Caucasians (555 cases and 2209 controls) and 383 Asians (113 cases and 270 controls). Tests of heterogeneity and of inclusion bias were performed. RESULTS A significant association between lung cancer and CYP1A1Ile462Val polymorphism was observed in Caucasians (adjusted OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.17-3.54). GSTT1 deletion seems to be a risk factor for lung cancer in Caucasian non smokers only when the analysis was restricted to studies including healthy controls (adjusted OR=1.66, 95% CI 1.12-2.46). A protective effect on lung cancer was observed with the combination of CYP1A1 wild type, GSTM1 null, and GSTT1 non-null genotypes. None of the analysed polymorphisms were associated with lung cancer in Asian non-smokers. DISCUSSION Our analysis confirms previous findings that CYP1A1Ile462Val polymorphism may play a role in lung carcinogenesis in Caucasian non-smokers.

Abstract
Susceptibility to lung cancer has been shown to be modulated by inheritance of polymorphic genes encoding cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and glutathione S transferases (GSTM1 and GSTT1), which are involved in the bioactivation and detoxification of environmental toxins. As the incidence of lung cancer is known to differ according to ethnicity, we have conducted a case-control study of 146 South Indian lung cancer patients along with 146 healthy controls, to assess any association between CYP1A1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms, either separately or in combination, with the likelihood of development of lung cancer in our population. The current weight of evidence from our study indicated that the frequency of CYP1A1 MspI homozygous variant alleles was significantly higher in cases (OR = 3.178). We observed a considerable difference in the GSTT1 null deletion frequency in this population when compared with other populations (OR = 2.472, 95% CI: 1.191-5.094, P = 0.014). There was no relative risk in GSTM1 null genotype when analysed singly (P = 0.453). Considering genotype combinations, risk of lung cancer increased remarkably significantly in individuals having one variant allele of CYP1A1, GSTM1, or GSTT1, suggesting gene-gene interactions. Rare genotypic combinations (such as CYP1A1 wild GSTM1 or GSTT1 either null; CYP1A1 variant both GSTM1 and GSTT1 present; CYP1A1 variant GSTM1 or GSTT1 either null), were at higher risk compared to the reference group. Moreover, patients who had smoked <20 pack years and harboured the CYP1A1 variant allele or the GSTT1 null genotype also had a significant risk of lung cancer. Hence our study-the first to analyse a South Indian population-suggests the importance of combined CYP1A1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms in the development of smoking-induced lung cancer.

Abstract
The mortality rate of lung cancer in Asian women has increased significantly in the past few decades. Environmental factors include tobacco smoke (active and environmental), other indoor pollutions (cooking oil vapours, coal burning, fungus spores), diet, and infections. Active tobacco smoking is not the major factor. The relative risk of lung cancer among non-smoking women ever exposed to environmental smoke from their husbands was 1.20 from a meta-analysis. Cooking oil vapours associated with high temperature wok cooking and indoor coal burning for heating and cooking in unvented homes, particularly in rural areas, are risk factors for Chinese women. Chronic benign respiratory diseases due to the fungus Microsporum canis probably accounts for the high incidence of lung cancer in northern Thai women at Sarapee. Diets rich in fruits, leafy green vegetables, and vitamin A are protective, while cured meat (Chinese sausage, pressed duck and cured pork), deep-fried cooking, and chili increased the risk. Tuberculosis is associated with lung cancer. Also, a Taiwanese study showed that the odds ratio of papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 infection in non-smoking female lung cancer patients was 10.1, strongly suggesting a causative role. Genetic factors have also been studied in Chinese women, including human leucocyte antigens, K-ras oncogene activation, p53 mutation, polymorphisms of phase I activating enzymes (cytochrome P450, N-acetyltransferase slow acetylator status), and phase II detoxifying enzymes (glutathione-S-transferases, N-acetyltransferase rapid acetylator status). New molecular screening technology would facilitate identification of molecular targets for future studies. The interaction between environmental and genetic factors should also be further elucidated.
