Associations of GCLM, gclc and GSTP1 gene polymorphisms and antituberculosis drugs-induced hepatitis

چکیده
Background Antituberculosis drugs (ATD) is the most common cause of drug-induce liver injury in many countries. While the mechanism of ATD-induced hepatitis is poorly understood, oxidative stress is suggested to be involved in the development of liver injury to drug metabolites. In this regards, we explored the possible associations between glutathione related enzymes (GCLM, GCLC and GSTP1) gene polymorphisms and ATD-induced hepatitis.

Genetic Polymorphisms in Glutathione (GSH-) Related Genes Affect the Plasmatic Hg/Whole Blood Hg Partitioning and the Distribution between Inorganic and Methylmercury Levels in Plasma Collected from a Fish-Eating Population
This study aims to evaluate the effects of polymorphisms in glutathione (GSH-) related genes (GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, GCLM, and GCLC) in the distribution of Hg in the blood compartments in humans exposed to methylmercury (MeHg). Subjects (n = 88), exposed to MeHg from fish consumption, were enrolled in the study. Hg species in the plasma compartment were determined by LC-ICP-MS, whereas genotyping...

BACKGROUND Glutamate cysteine ligase (GCL) is a rate-limiting enzyme in synthesis of glutathione. Evidence suggests that genetic variations in the promoter region of genes coding a catalytic subunit (GCLC -129T/C) and a modifier subunit (GCLM -588C/T) of GCL have a functional impact on their transcriptional activity and were associated with various disorders. Hence, we hypothesize whether these...

Abstract: Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory liver disorder of unknown etiology. The search for gene polymorphisms has suggested that Glutathion-s-transferase (GST), enzymes that metabolize carcinogens, drug, and foreign compounds, may play a role in susceptibility to autoimmune liver disease and its severity. The objective of this study was to investigate for a r...

OBJECTIVE This study was performed to reveal the molecular structure and expression patterns of horse glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) and glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM) genes whose products form glutamate cysteine ligase, which were identified as differentially expressed genes in the previous study. METHODS We performed bioinformatics analyses, and gene e...
متن کاملGenetic Variation in Glutathione-Related Genes and Body Burden of Methylmercury
BACKGROUND Exposure to toxic methylmercury (MeHg) through fish consumption is a large problem worldwide, and it has led to governmental recommendations of reduced fish consumption and blacklisting of mercury-contaminated fish. The elimination kinetics of MeHg varies greatly among individuals. Knowledge about the reasons for such variation is of importance for improving the risk assessment for M...
