The GSTP1 and NQO1 have been reported to be associated with an increased risk for smoking related head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of these metabolic gene polymorphisms on the risk of HNSCC. The study population included 294 histologically confirmed HNSCC cases and 333 controls without cancer. Genotyping analysis of the GSTP1 I...

AIM We conducted a prospective study in an Chinese population to detect associations of GSTM, GSTT and GSTP polymorphisms with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and analyze roles in determining survival outcome. METHODS A prospective follow-up study was conducted with 476 HCC patients and 481 controls collected from May 2005 to May 2007. All patients were followed up until the end of Dec. 2011....

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical response to chemotherapy and treatment outcome of breast cancers patients in the presence of the GSTM1 null/present, GSTT1 null/present, and GSTP1 IIe105Val polymorphisms. Genotyping of GSTP1 rs1695, GSTT1 deletion and GSTM1 deletion was carried out on a 384-well plate format on the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. Of 382 patients, 202 patients sho...

TER286 [gamma-glutamyl-alpha-amino-beta(2-ethyl-N,N,N', N'-tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate)-sulfonyl-propionyl-( R)- (-) phenylglycine] is a novel nitrogen mustard prodrug that is preferentially activated by glutathione S-transferase P1-1 (GSTP1-1). A human promyelocytic leukemia /TER286-resistant cell line was selected by chronic, long-term exposure to the prodrug. Although resistanc...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Genetic polymorphisms in the glutathione S-transferase P1 gene (GSTP1) and the glutathione S-transferase M1 gene (GSTM1) have been implicated as risk factors for asthma. However, their roles in asthma pathogenesis and the interaction between these two genes have not been extensively investigated. This study, therefore, examined the relationship among GSTP1 and GSTM1 genotypes a...

PURPOSE Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) is a member of the GST enzyme superfamily that is important for the detoxification of several cytotoxic drugs and their by-products. A single nucleotide polymorphism results in the substitution of isoleucine (Ile) to valine (Val) at codon 105, causing a metabolically less active variant of the enzyme. We assessed the impact of the GSTP1 codon 105 gen...

Objective The glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene has been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of oral cancer. However, the results have been inconsistent. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify the association of GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphisms with oral cancer risk. Methods Published literature from PubMed and EMBASE were retrieved. Pooled odds ratio (O...

The GSTP1 gene encodes for an enzyme, glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTpi),involved in detoxification of carcinogens. An aminoacid substitution (I105V) in GSTP1 produces a variant enzyme with lower activity and less capability of effective detoxification. This variant GSTP*B allele has been associated with a propensity to develop several neoplasms. Because GSTP1 promoter hypermethylation and in...

The prostate has been identified as a target for 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP)-induced carcinogenesis. Humans are exposed to PhIP through ingestion of well-done cooked meats, and there is evidence from epidemiological studies that implicates red meat consumption in prostate carcinogenesis. The alpha and pi class isoforms of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have been sh...

Hereditary and environmental variables have a role in the development of breast cancer. This study aimed to examine links between genetic Variations GSTP1 gene Predisposition cancer an Iraqi population. The research included 40 female patients 20 healthy volunteers. GSTP1-1695 A/G polymorphisms were investigated using polymerase chain reaction Real-time (RT-PCR). results showed frequency wild G...
