Glutathione S-transferase pi modulates NF-κB activation and pro-inflammatory responses in lung epithelial cells.
Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a transcription factor family critical in the activation of pro- inflammatory responses. The NF-κB pathway is regulated by oxidant-induced post-translational modifications. Protein S-glutathionylation, or the conjugation of the antioxidant molecule, glutathione to reactive cysteines inhibits the activity of inhibitory kappa B kinase beta (IKKβ), among other NF-...
متن کاملThe glutathione S-transferase M1 genotype in ovarian cancer.
Glutathione S-transferase mu-1 (GSTM1) is a polymorphic member of the mu class gene family of the glutathione S-transferases. Individuals who are GSTM1 null have increased susceptibility to lung and colon cancer. We hypothesized that: (a) GSTM1 null individuals might also be at increased risk for development of ovarian cancer; and (b) the GSTM1 genotype would influence response to chemotherapy....
متن کاملGlutathione S Transferase M1 Polymorphism in Extrahepatic Biliary Atresia
Background: Extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) is a chronic progressive obstructive cholangiopathy of infancy of unknown aetiology. Pathology of bile duct damage involves unanimously neutrophil elastase, variable degrees of fibrosis, and variable CD14+ monocytes intensity staining in the presence of defective p53 and glutathione S transferases Pi class (GST Pi). GST is a super family responsib...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferase M1 gene polymorphism in Thai nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a serious health problem in Thailand. It is caused by the combined effects of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), carcinogens and genetic susceptibility. The glutathione S-transferase M1 gene (GSTM1) encodes a phase II enzyme responsible for detoxifying carcinogenic electrophiles. Polymorphic null forms of the gene GSTM1 lack enzyme activity and have been associated with...
متن کاملGlutathione s-transferase M1 and T1 genetic polymorphisms in Iranian patients with glaucoma
Objective(s):Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and it is related to oxidative stress based on numerous studies. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are members of multigenic family, which have important role in cells as an antioxidant. In the present study, we examined the polymorphism of GSTT1 and GSTM1 deletion genotypes (T0M1, T1M0, and T0M0) in 100 Glaucoma patients (41with pr...
