Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) status in pancreatic cancer: relation to clinical parameters.

چکیده
Human paraoxonase 1 (PON1) has been shown to decrease the level of systemic oxidative stress, which is thought to contribute to cancer development. The aim of this study was to examine the interrelationships between PON1 status and some clinical characteristics in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). A group of 73 consecutive patients with PC (stage II-IV) and 73 control subjects were examined. Laboratory studies included five polymorphisms of the PON1 gene (L55M, Q192R, -108C/T, -126C/T, and -162A/G), PON1 arylesterase (PON1-A) and lactonase (PON1-L) activities, as well as some markers of protein metabolism, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress. In comparison with the control group, no difference in the distribution of the PON1 polymorphisms was found in cancer patients, both arylesterase and lactonase activities being significantly lower (-33, -47 %, respectively, both P < 0.001). There was neither statistically significant association of PON1 polymorphisms with tumour stages nor with diabetes mellitus connected with PC. The genotype distribution of L55M and ‑108C/T differed only in a subgroup of patients presenting clinically relevant malnutrition (χ² = 6.50, 6.25, respectively, both P < 0.05). In the PC group, PON1-A and PON1-L activities correlated with Nutritional Risk Index (r = 0.351, 0.409, respectively, both P < 0.01), PON1-L with mid-arm muscle circumference (r = 0.328, P < 0.05), and PON1-A and PON1-L with serum albumin (r = 0.352, 0.391 respectively, both < 0.01). Our results suggest that PON1 plays an important role in PC, especially in cancer-associated malnutrition.

Serum Cholinesterase Inhibition in Relation to Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) Status among Organophosphate-Exposed Agricultural Pesticide Handlers
BACKGROUND Animal studies have demonstrated that low paraoxonase-1 (PON1) status (i.e., low catalytic efficiency and/or low plasma PON1 activity) is associated with neurotoxic effects after exposure to several organophosphate (OP) insecticides. However, few human studies have investigated associations between PON1 status and intermediate end points, such as serum cholinesterase [butyrylcholines...

Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an intra-cellular antioxidant enzyme found also in the circulation associated with high-density lipoproteins. The activity of this enzyme has been shown to be decreased in breast cancer (BC) patients. The aims of our study were to investigate the changes produced by radiotherapy (RT) on activity and concentration of serum PON1 in BC patients, and to evaluate the observed...
