abstract

glutathione s-transferases (gsts; ec: 2.5.1.18) are ubiquitous multifunctional enzymes, which play a key role in cellular detoxification. functional genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding gstm1 (a member of gst class mu; omim: 138350), and gstt1 (a member of gst class theta; omim: 600436) have been well defined. the functional null alleles of gstm1 and gstt1 represent deletions of gstm1 and gstt1 genes, respectively. the aim of the present study is to investigate the association between gstm1 and gstt1 polymorphisms and methamphetamine dependence. the present population-based case-control study was performed in shiraz (southern iran). in total, 52 methamphetamine dependence (11 females, 41 males) and 635 healthy controls (110 females, 525 males) were included in this study. the genotypes of gstm1 and gstt1 polymorphisms were determined by pcr. neither gstm1 (or=0.92, 95% ci: 0.52-1.61, p=0.771) nor gstt1 (or=0.71, 95% ci: 0.33-1.54, p=0.381) null genotypes were significantly associated with risk of methamphetamine dependence. it should be noted that although there was no association between the gstm1 null genotype and risk of methamphetamine dependence, in both genders, there was significant interaction between gender and gstm1 polymorphism (p=0.029). the combination genotypes of the gstm1 and gstt1 polymorphisms revealed that the genotypes of these two polymorphisms had no additive effect in relation to the susceptibility to methamphetamine dependence. the present study revealed that genetic polymorphisms of gstt1 and gstm1 are not risk factors for methamphetamine dependence.

Association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms and susceptibility to methamphetamine dependence

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs; EC: 2.5.1.18) are ubiquitous multifunctional enzymes, which play a key role in cellular detoxification. Functional genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding GSTM1 (a member of GST class mu; OMIM: 138350), and GSTT1 (a member of GST class theta; OMIM: 600436) have been well defined. The functional null alleles of GSTM1 and GSTT1 represent deletions of GSTM1 and GS...

No association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to opium sap dependence

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs; EC: 2.5.1.18) are a ubiquitous family of eukaryotic and prokaryotic phase II metabolic isozymes. Genes encoding GSTM1 (OMIM: 138350), and GSTT1 (OMIM: 600436) are members of class mu and theta, respectively. The most common polymorphism in the GSTM1 is a deletion of the whole GSTM1 gene with a lack of enzyme activity. A homozygous deletion in the GSTT1 has also...

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 ...

The relationship between GSTA1, GSTM1, GSTP1, and GSTT1 genetic polymorphisms and bladder cancer susceptibility

BACKGROUND Previous studies have investigated the relationship between GSTA1, GSTM1, GSTP1, and GSTT1 polymorphisms and bladder cancer (BCa) susceptibility, respectively, but the results remain inconsistent. So, we conducted this meta-analysis including 79 case-control studies to explore such relationships. METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and CNKI for rel...
