The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of enzymes belonging to phase II enzymes involved in detoxification of xenobiotics. A significant relationship is observed between the risk of developing cancer and genetic polymorphisms within GSTs. Methods: In this study, we investigated the influence of inherited GSTP1 (Ile105Val) gene polymorphism on the susceptibility to CML in Egypt in 40 CML patients (20 children and 20 adults), together with 40 healthy controls using a [PCR-RFLP] assay. Results: We found that the mutant type (IIe/Val, Val/Val) was significantly higher in CML patients (67.5%) compared to controls (35%) (p = 0.004);[odds ratio 3.9;95% CI: 1.5 - 9.7]. The mutant type was associated with more advanced phases in disease and with both worse hematological and cytogenetic responses when compared to the wild type (p = 0.03, p = 0.05, and p 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: GSTP1 (Ile105Val) gene polymorphism conferred a significant association with increased risk of CML and is associated with worse prognosis. Further studies on the functional consequences of this genetic polymorphism would pave the way to declare its role in the pathogenesis of CML or as a possible predictor for response to therapy.展开更多

The subjects consumed one of the three test products in a random order, double-blinded, and four-week trial. On the first day (day 1) and on the last day (day 29) i.e. after four weeks’ treatment with one of the products, the acute effect with the same single dose was assayed. Other markers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) were measured from plasma four times on the same days when we also assessed daytime urinary excretion of biomarkers of endothelial function. Neither acute nor prolonged administration of the ACE-1 inhibiting peptide drinks significantly lowered blood pressure of the normotensive subjects. The most important finding was the dose-dependent, and linear increase in plasma bradykinin concentrations after acute dosing on the first day;it was nearly statistically significant also on the day 29 (p 0.06). Other indicators of RAAS or endothelial function did not differ from those of placebo after the acute or prolonged treatments. Our results suggest that even weak inhibitors of ACE-1, such as the lactotripeptides Ile-Pro-Pro and Val-Pro-Pro, are able to diminish the breakdown of bradykinin and therefore increase plasma bradykinin levels. This may partly explain the blood pressure lowering and vasodilatory effects of lactotripeptides, shown by us earlier in mildly hypertensive subjects.展开更多
