چکیده

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play a vital role in phase II biotransformation of many synthetic chemicals including anticancer drugs. Deletion polymorphisms in GSTT1 and GSTM1 are reportedly associated, albeit controversial, with an increased risk in cancer as well as with altered responses to chemotherapeutic drugs. In this study, to elucidate the haplotype structures of GSTT1 and GSTM1, genetic variations were identified in 194 Japanese cancer patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy. Homozygotes for deletion of GSTT1 (GSTT1(*)0/(*)0 or null) and GSTM1 (GSTM1(*)0/(*)0 or null) were found in 47.4% and 47.9% of the patients, respectively, while 23.2% of the patients had both GSTT1 null and GSTM1 null genotypes. From homozygous (+/+) and heterozygous ((*)0/+) patients bearing GSTT1 and GSTM1 genes, six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for GSTT1 and 23 SNPs for GSTM1 were identified. A novel SNP in GSTT1, 226C>A (Arg76Ser), and the known SNP in GSTM1, 519C>G (Asn173Lys, (*)B), were found at frequencies of 0.003 and 0.077, respectively. Using the detected variations, GSTT1 and GSTM1 haplotypes were identified/inferred. Three and six common haplotypes (N> or =10) in GSTT1 and GSTM1, respectively, accounted for most (>95%) inferred haplotypes. This information would be useful in pharmacogenomic studies of xenobiotics including anticancer drugs.

Genetic polymorphisms of glutathione-s-transferase M1 and T1 genes with risk of diabetic retinopathy in Iranian population

Objective(s):To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the contributions of GST genetic variants to the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an Iranian population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine whether sequence variation in glutathione S-transferase gene (GSTM1 and GSTT1) is associated with development of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D...

Investigation of the Relationship between Genetic Polymorphisms in GSTM1 and GSTT1 Genes and Susceptibility to Lung Functional Abnormalities in Workers Exposed to Air Pollutants at Isfahan Steel Plant

Introduction: Gaseous air pollutants can cause oxidative stress, which can lead to lung damage by inducing inflammation. Polymorphisms in the glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including lung disease. Two glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) genes belong to this family, in which deletions occur ...

Glutathione 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...

Glutathione S-transferases Null Genotype in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...
