Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), one typical environmental pollutant, the toxicity mechanisms, and potential prevention remain perplexing. Available evidence suggests cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) metabolize B[a]P, resulting in metabolic activation and detoxification of B[a]P. This study aimed to reveal the impact of B[a]P exposure on trans-7,8-diol-anti-9,10-epoxide DNA (BPDE-DNA) adduct formation, level of CYP1A1, glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) and glutathione S-transferase mu1 (GSTM1) mRNA, protein and DNA methylation in mice, and the potential prevention of aspirin (ASP). This study firstly determined the BPDE-DNA adduct formation in an acute toxicity test of a large dose in mice induced by B[a]P, which subsequently detected CYP1A1, GSTP1, and GSTM1 at levels of mRNA, protein, and DNA methylation in the organs of mice in a subacute toxicity test at appropriate doses and the potential prevention of ASP, using the methods of real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR), western blotting, and real-time methylation-specific PCR (MSP), respectively. The results verified that B[a]P induced the formation of BPDE-DNA adduct in all the organs of mice in an acute toxicity test, and the order of concentration of which was lung > kidney > liver > brain. In a subacute toxicity test, following B[a]P treatment, mice showed a dose-dependent slowdown in body weight gain and abnormalities in behavioral and cognitive function and which were alleviated by ASP co-treatment. Compared to the controls, following B[a]P treatment, CYP1A1 was significantly induced in all organs in mice at mRNA level (P < 0.05), was suppressed in the lung and cerebrum of mice at protein level, and inhibited at DNA methylation level in the liver, lung, and cerebrum, whereas GSTP1 and GSTM1 at mRNA, protein, and DNA methylation levels showed organ-specific changes in mice following B[a]P treatment, which was generally alleviated by ASP intervention. In conclusion, B[a]P induced BPDE-DNA adduct formation in all organs in mice and altered the mRNA, protein, and DNA methylation levels in CYP1A1, GSTP1, and GSTM1 in an organ-dependent pattern, which could be related to the organ toxicity and mechanism of B[a]P. ASP intervention may be an effective measure to prevent B[a]P toxicity. The findings provide scientific evidence for further study on the organ toxicity and mechanisms of B[a]P.

Abstract
Context Lung cancer pathological process involves cumulative effects exerted by gene polymorphism(s), epigenetic modifications, and alterations in DNA repair machinery. Further, DNA damage due to oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and the interplay between genetic and environmental factors is also an etiologic milieu of this malignant disease. Aims The present study aims to assess the prognostic value of DNA repair, cytokines, and GST gene polymorphism in lung cancer patients who had not received any neoadjuvant therapy. Materials and Methods In this case-control study, 127 cases and 120 controls were enrolled. DNA from the blood samples of both patients and controls was used to genotype XRCC1Arg399Gln, XPDLys751Gln, and interleukin-1 (IL-1β) genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism method, whereas multiplex PCR was performed to genotype GSTT1 and GSTM1. Results Binary logistic regression analysis showed that XRCC1Arg399Gln-mutant genotype (Gln/Gln, odds ratio [OR] = 4.6, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.2-9.6) and GSTT1 null (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.6-4.5) were linked to cancer susceptibility. Generalized multidimensional reduction analysis of higher order gene-gene interaction using cross-validation testing (CVT) accuracy showed that GSTT1 (CVT 0.62, P = 0.001), XPD751 and IL-1β (CVT 0.6, P = 0.001), and XRCC1399, XPD751, and interleukin-1 receptor antagonists (IL-1RN) (CVT 0.98, P = 0.001) were single-, two-, and three-factor best model predicted, respectively, for lung cancer risk. Classification and regression tree analysis results showed that terminal nodes which contain XRCC1399-mutant genotype (AA) had increased the risk to lung cancer. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that XRCC1399 (Gln/Gln), GSTT1, and IL-1RN allele I, I/II served as the risk genotypes. These genes could serve as the biomarkers to predict lung cancer risk.
