Susceptibility to esophageal cancer and genetic polymorphisms in glutathione S-transferases T1, P1, and M1 and cytochrome P450 2E1.
Genetic polymorphisms in enzymes involved in carcinogen metabolism have been shown to influence susceptibility to cancer. Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is primarily responsible for the bioactivation of many low molecular weight carcinogens, including certain nitrosamines, whereas glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in detoxifying many other carcinogenic electrophiles. Esophageal cance...
متن کاملClass-Pi of Glutathione S-Transferases
Class-Pi of glutathione s-transferases (GST-Pi) is the specific form of GSTs that are known to participate particularly in the mechanisms of resistance to drugs and carcinogens. This class of the enzyme is referred to as class-P or class-Pi or class π. The accepted terminology in this review article is class-Pi. In this article following a brief description of identified molecular forms of GSTs...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferases and the risk of adult brain tumors: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Studies investigating the association between genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-transferases (GST) and risk of adult brain tumors have reported conflicting results. The rationale of this meta-analysis was to determine whether GST variants increase the susceptibility of adult brain tumors by pooling data. METHODS Two investigators independently searched the HuGENet database, ME...
متن کاملCruciferous vegetables, genetic polymorphisms in glutathione S-transferases M1 and T1, and prostate cancer risk.
Cruciferous vegetables contain anticarcinogenic isothiocyanates (ITCs), particularly the potent sulforaphane, which may decrease risk of prostate cancer through induction of phase II enzymes, including glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). We evaluated this hypothesis in a population-based, case-control study of prostate cancer, including 428 men with incident prostate cancer and 537 community con...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases M1/T1 gene polymorphisms and endometriosis: a meta-analysis of genetic association studies.
In view of the controversies surrounding the glutathione S-transferases (GST) M1/T1-endometriosis association, a meta-analysis of the GSTM1/GSTT1 genetic association studies of endometriosis was performed. In this meta-analysis involving 14 GSTM1 studies with 1539 cases and 1805 controls and nine GSTT1 studies with 746 cases and 834 controls, respectively, substantial heterogeneities among stud...
