Abstract
Human N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is subject to genetic polymorphism in human populations. In addition to the reference NAT2*4 allele, two genetic variant alleles (NAT2*5B and NAT2*7B) are common in Europe and Asia, respectively. NAT2*5B possesses a signature rs1801280 T341C (I114T) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), whereas NAT2*7B possesses a signature rs1799931 G857A (G286E) SNP. NAT2 alleles possessing the T341C (I114T) or G857A (G286E) SNP were recombinant expressed in yeast and tested for capacity to catalyze the O-acetylation of the N-hydroxy metabolites of heterocyclic amines (HCAs). The T341C (I114T) SNP reduced the O-acetylation of N-hydroxy-2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (N-OH-IQ), N-hydroxy-2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoxaline (N-OH-MeIQx) and N-hydroxy- 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b] pyridine (N-OH-PhIP), whereas the G857A (G286E) SNP reduced the O-acetylation of N-OH-IQ and N-OH-MeIQx but not N-OH-PhIP. The G857A (G286E) SNP significantly (p < 0.05) reduced apparent Km toward N-OH-PhIP but did not significantly (p > 0.05) affect apparent Vmax. Cultures of DNA repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with human CYP1A2 and NAT2*4, NAT2*5B or NAT2*7B alleles were incubated with various concentrations of IQ, MeIQx or PhIP and double-stranded DNA damage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured. Transfection with human CYP1A2 did not significantly (p > 0.05) increase HCA-induced DNA damage and ROS over un-transfected cells. Additional transfection with NAT2*4, NAT2*5B or NAT2*7B allele increased both DNA damage and ROS. The magnitude of the increases was both NAT2 allele- and substrate-dependent showing the same pattern as observed for the O-acetylation of the N-hydroxylated HCAs suggesting that both are mediated via NAT2-catalyzed O-acetylation. The results document the role of NAT2 and its genetic polymorphism on the O-acetylation and genotoxicity of HCAs.

Arch Toxicol 2023; 97:1773-1781. [PMID: 37142755 PMCID: PMC10259506 DOI: 10.1007/s00204-023-03508-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chloroaniline) or MOCA is an aromatic amine used primarily in polyurethane and rubber industry. MOCA has been linked to hepatomas in animal studies while limited epidemiologic studies reported the association of exposure to MOCA and urinary bladder and breast cancer. We investigated MOCA-induced genotoxicity and oxidative stress in DNA repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with human metabolizing enzymes CYP1A2 and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) variants as well as in rapid, intermediate, and slow NAT2 acetylator cryopreserved human hepatocytes. N-acetylation of MOCA was highest in UV5/1A2/NAT2*4 followed by UV5/1A2/NAT2*7B and UV5/1A2/NAT2*5B CHO cells. Human hepatocytes showed a NAT2 genotype-dependent response with highest N-acetylation in rapid acetylators followed by intermediate and slow acetylators. MOCA induced higher levels of mutagenesis and DNA damage in UV5/1A2/NAT2*7B compared to UV5/1A2/NAT2*4 and UV5/1A2/NAT2*5B cells (p < 0.0001). MOCA also induced higher levels of oxidative stress in UV5/1A2/NAT2*7B cells. MOCA caused concentration-dependent increase in DNA damage in cryopreserved human hepatocytes (linear trend p < 0.001) which was NAT2 genotype dependent i.e., highest in rapid acetylators, lower in intermediate acetylators, and lowest in slow acetylators (p < 0.0001). Our findings show that N-acetylation and genotoxicity of MOCA is NAT2 genotype dependent and suggest that individuals possessing NAT2*7B are at higher risk to MOCA-induced mutagenicity. DNA damage, and oxidative stress. They confirm significant differences in genotoxicity between the NAT2*5B and NAT2*7B alleles, both of which are associated with slow acetylator phenotype.

Abstract
Following the discovery of plastics in the human placenta, this study evaluated the toxicity of ten different nanoplastics (NPs) in the human placenta. Since the placenta performs metabolic and excretion functions by the enzymatic system, the NPs were docked on these human enzymes including soluble epoxide hydrolase, uracil phosphoribosyltransferase, beta 1,3-glucuronyltransferase I, sulfotransferase, N-acetyltransferase 2, and cytochrome P450 1A1at their active sites with toxicity (binding affinity) determined and compared to control compounds. Density functional theory analysis were conducted on the NPs to identify their global reactivity descriptors and Artificial Neural Networks to predict toxicity based on reactivity descriptors. Polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS) showed the highest toxicity to all enzymes and thus the most toxic polymers due to the presence of an electron-withdrawing group in their aromatic rings, which demonstrated an improved recognition of the enzyme active site by pi- and alkyl interactions. A 210-6 fractional factorial design approach was used in conjunction with a fixed effects model to assess the primary and secondary effects of NPs in a composite system on binding affinity to the placental enzymes. The simulation results suggest that NPs mixture may pose significant risks to the placenta through inhibition of its key enzymes.

Abstract
PURPOSE N-acetyltransferase 2 is an enzyme that is involved in the detoxification of carcinogens in the human body, so any damage to this protein may lead to the emergence of several metabolic dysfunctions. This work was conducted to determine the association between NAT2 polymorphism and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that is increasingly reported in the Iraqi population. METHODS PCR sequencing was conducted to assess the possible association between genetic variants and NSCLC. Several in silico tools were implemented to investigate the effect of the observed SNPs on the structure, function, and stability of the altered NAT2. RESULTS Five SNPS of NAT2 (rs1208, rs1041983, rs1799929, rs1799930, and rs1801280) were identified in high frequencies in the amplified fragment. These SNPs showed variable distributions of haplotypes between cases and controls. No significant association of rs1208, rs1041983, rs1799929, and rs1799930 with NSCLC was shown in the investigated population. In contrast, rs1801280: CC genotype showed a highly significant (P = 0.009) association with the NSCLC, and individuals with this genotype had 2.19 more chances for developing NSCLC (OR 2.19; Cl95% 1.21-3.94). Association analysis of rs1801280 SNP distribution among the investigated patients showed that patients with CC genotype showed a significant (P = 0.02, OR 2.65) association with family history, which entailed a high hereditary possibility of this genotype among Iraqi patients. It was predicted that this SNP showed high damaging effects on the activity of NAT2 enzyme, with various deleterious outcomes on enzyme structure, function, and stability. CONCLUSION Data indicated that rs1801280 SNP exerted a tight association with NSCLC since individuals with CC genotype exhibited the most damaging effects on the NAT2 that may be behind the low acetylation rates of this enzyme in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
β-naphthylamine (BNA) is an important aromatic amine carcinogen. Current exposures derive primarily from cigarette smoking including e-cigarettes. Occupational and environmental exposure to BNA is associated with urinary bladder cancer which is the fourth most frequent cancer in the United States. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is an important metabolizing enzyme for aromatic amines. Previous studies investigated mutagenicity and genotoxicity of BNA in bacteria and in rabbit or rat hepatocytes. However, the effects of human NAT2 genetic polymorphism on N-acetylation and genotoxicity induced by BNA still need to be clarified. We used nucleotide excision repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that were stably transfected with human CYP1A2 and NAT2 alleles: NAT2*4 (reference allele), NAT2*5B (variant slow acetylator allele common in Europe) or NAT2*7B (variant slow acetylator allele common in Asia). BNA N-acetylation was measured both in vitro and in situ via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) mutations, double-strand DNA breaks, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured as indices of toxicity. NAT2*4 cells showed significantly higher BNA N-acetylation rates followed by NAT2*7B and NAT2*5B. BNA caused concentration-dependent increases in DNA damage and ROS levels. NAT2*7B showed significantly higher levels of HPRT mutants, DNA damage and ROS than NAT2*5B (p < 0.001, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001 respectively) although both are slow alleles. Our findings suggest that BNA N-acetylation and toxicity are modified by NAT2 polymorphism. Furthermore, they confirm heterogeneity among slow acetylator alleles for BNA metabolism and toxicity supporting differential risk for individuals carrying NAT2*7B allele.

Abstract
Genetic polymorphism of drug-metabolizing enzymes such as NQO1, SULT1A1, EPHX1, and NAT2 alters its activity which hampers the detoxification and disposal of chemotherapeutic compounds. Thus, in the present study, we have comprehensively investigated the associations between SNPs of the Phase II detoxifying genes and its relationship towards platinum-induced toxicity of lung cancer patients.A total of 273 samples were enrolled in this study and polymorphisms of gene NQO1 (609C > T), SULT1A1 (Arg213 His), EPHX1 (Tyr113His, His139Arg), and NAT2 (481C > T, 803A > G, 590 G > A, 857 G > A) were evaluated in our study for their associated adverse events caused due to the administration of platinum-based chemotherapy to the lung cancer patients.For NQO1 609C > T polymorphism, the TT genotype showed reduced risk of constipation (OR =0.10, p=0.04) and anorexia (OR =0.15, p=0.03). For SULT1A1 Arg213His, heterozygous genotype (Arg/His) (AOR =0.38, p=0.006) and combined genotype (Arg/His + His/His) were not associated with increased risk of nephrotoxicity (AOR =0.38, p= 0.004). For NAT2, heterozygous (NAT2*4/*6) and combined genotypes (NAT2*4/*4 + *4/*6) for NAT2*6 polymorphism exhibit 2.4 folds (p=0.005), and two-folds (p=0.01) increased risk of hematological toxicity. The heterozygous (AOR =0.45, p=0.004) and variant genotype (AOR =0.39, p=0.02) for NAT2*5C had decreased risk for hematological toxicity. The heterozygous genotype for NAT2*7 polymorphism showed two-fold increased risk for developing thrombocytopenia.This study provides association of NAT2 polymorphic variants in predicting haematological toxicity.
