Polymorphisms within glutathione S-transferase genes in pediatric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in the metabolism of a number of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Certain members within the GST superfamily exhibit phenotypically relevant genetic polymorphisms which have been associated with outcome in hematologic malignant disease. DESIGN AND METHODS In the present study we genotyped a cohort of 169 pediatric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients with available specimens from the NHL-BFM trials 86 and 90 conducted by the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) study group to assess a potential association of phenotypically relevant glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms (GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 codon 105) with treatment outcome in this patient group. RESULTS Treatment failure in patients with mature B-cell NHL was significantly less likely to occur in patients carrying at least one GSTM1 allele in comparison to those with a homozygous deletion of GSTM1. This protective effect mediated by the presence of GSTM1 was even more pronounced within the subset of therapy group B patients at highest clinical risk of treatment failure (B-ALL, disease stage IV, disease stage III with unresected abdominal tumor, and LDH activity > or = 500 U/L). Of all events in therapy group B, 87.5% occurred in this high risk group. Within this subset, the multivariate relative risk reached 4.98 (95% CI = 1.27-19.52; p= 0.021). INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that genetic variation at the GSTM1 locus may be of clinical importance in pediatric NHL and may be a potential candidate for indicating future treatment stratification strategies.

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...

PURPOSE The interplay between genetic susceptibility and exposure to carcinogens has been shown to be involved in the etiology of many solid tumors. We studied the frequency and clinical correlates of polymorphisms resulting in deletions of two genes involved in the detoxification of potentially carcinogenic agents, glutathione S-transferase (GST)-M1 and GSTT1 in patients with Hodgkin's lymphom...

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 ...

Polymorphisms of the glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), which are involved in the cellular oxidative and antioxidant mechanisms of the xenobiotic substances and carcinogens, represents a factor that increases the risk of developing cancer. We aimed to determine in a case-control study (82 patients and 152 controls) a possible association between the GSTT1, GSTM1 and GSTP1 gene polymorphisms and...
