Association between gastric mucosal glutathione-S-transferase activity, glutathione-S-transferase gene polymorphisms and Helicobacter pylori infection in gastric cancer.
AIM Helicobacter pylori infection, though common, leads to gastric cancer (GC) in less than 1% individuals, suggesting the role of host factors. We previously reported the role of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) polymorphisms, the gene encoding a carcinogen-detoxifying enzyme, in GC. This study was aimed to evaluate GST enzyme activity, GST polymorphism, glutathione (GSH) levels and H. pylori i...
متن کاملErythrocyte glutathione S-transferase. Electrophoretic identification of two enzyme forms.
Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to demonstrate two forms of glutathione S-transferase in human erythrocytes. Whereas considerable inter-individual differences in enzyme activity and electrophoretic patterns were detected, intra-individual differences were small.
متن کاملTwo glutathione S-transferase inhibitors from Radix Angelicae sinensis.
Chemotherapy for malignant tumors fails because of multidrug resistance (MDR). The overexpression of glutathione S-transferase (GST) with MDR is considered one of the major obstacles to successful cancer chemotherapy. High-throughput screening was performed to search for inhibitors of GST from natural products. Two compounds isolated from Radix Angelicae sinensis had an inhibitory effect on GST...
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 copy number variation alters lung gene expression.
The glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes catalyse the conjugation of xenobiotics to glutathione. Based on reports that inherited copy number variations (CNVs) modulate some GST gene expression levels, and that the small airway epithelium (SAE) and alveolar macrophages (AMs) are involved early in the pathogenesis of smoking-induced lung disease, we asked: do germline CNVs modulate GST express...
