Genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P4502E1, alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Gansu Chinese males

AIM:To evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in CYP2E1, ALDH2 and ADH1B and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in a high risk area of Gansu Province, in Chinese males. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted to investigate the genetic polymorphisms of these enzymes (CYP2E1 *c1/*c2, ALDH2 *1/*2 and ADH1B *1/*1 genotypes). A total of 80 esophageal cancer cases and 480 controls were recruited. RESULTS: Compared with controls, cases had a greater prevalence of heavier alcohol consumption (53.8% vs 16.2%) and a higher proportion of alcohol drinkers with > 30 drink-years (28.8% vs 13.5%). Heavier alcohol consumption and alcohol drinking with > 30 drink- years increased the risk of ESCC, with ORs (95% CI) of 3.20 (1.32-9.65) and 1.68 (0.96-3.21). CYP2E1 (*c1/*c1), ALDH2 (*1/*2) and ADH1B (*1/*1) genotype frequencies were higher among patients with squamous cell carcinomas, at a level close to statistical significance (P = 0.014; P = 0.094; P = 0.0001 respectively). There were synergistic interactions among alcohol drinking and ALDH2, ADH1B and CYP2E1 genotypes. The risk of the ESCC in moderate-to-heavy drinkers with an inactive ALDH2 encoded by ALDH2 *1/*2 as well as ADH1B encoded by ADH1B *1/*1 and CYP2E1 encoded by CYP2E1 *c1/*c1 was higher than that in the never/rare-to-light drinkers with an active ALDH2 (*1/*1 genotype) as well as ADH1B (*1/*2 + *2/*2) and CYP2E1 (*c1/*c2 + *c2/*c2) genotypes, with a statistically significant difference; ORs (95% CI) of 8.58 (3.28-22.68), 27.12 (8.52-70.19) and 7.64 (2.82-11.31) respectively. The risk of the ESCC in moderate-to-heavy drinkers with ALDH2 (*1/*2) combined the ADH1B (*1/*1) genotype or ALDH2 (*1/*2) combined the CYP2E1 (*c1/*c1) genotype leads to synergistic interactions, higher than drinkers with ALDH2 (*1/*1) + ADH1B (*1/*2 + *2/*2), ALDH2 (*1/*1) + CYP2E1 (*c1/*c2 + *c2/*c2) respectively , ORs (95% CI) of 7.46 (3.28-18.32) and 6.82 (1.44-9.76) respectively. Individuals with the ADH1B combined the CYP2E1 genotype showed no synergistic interaction. CONCLUSION: In our study, we found that alcohol consumption and polymorphisms in the CYP2E1, ADH1B and ALDH2 genes are important risk factors for ESCC, and that there was a synergistic interaction among polymorphisms in the CYP2E1, ALDH2 and ADH1B genes and heavy alcohol drinking, in Chinese males living in Gansu Province, China.

Evaluation in vinyl chloride monomer-exposed workers and the relationship between liver lesions and gene polymorphisms of metabolic enzymes

AIM： To analyze occupational health hazards exposure to doses lower than the Chinese occupational health standard in a selected VC polymerization plant in China, and also to elucidate the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility on liver lesions of workers exposed to vinyl chloride monomer （VCM）. METHODS： In order to explore the mechanism of VCM- related health effects, we used a case-control design to investigate the association between the genetic polymorphisms of metabolic enzymes and liver lesions in workers occupationally exposed to VCM. Genotypes of CYP2E1, GSTT1, GSTM1, ALDH2 and ADH2 were identified using PCR and PCR-RFLP. RESULTS： Even when the concentration of VCM was lower than the current Chinese occupational health standard, neurasthenia, pharyngeal irritation, liver ultrasonography abnormalities and hemoglobin disorders were significantly higher in exposure subjects compared to non-exposure subjects, and the relative risks （RRand 95% C1） were 1.74 （1.06-2.85）, 1.97 （1.56-2.48）, 10.69 （4.38-26.12）, and 2.07 （1.20-3.57）. CYP2E1 c1c2/c2c2 genotype was significantly associated with liver damages （OR 3.29, 95% CI 1.51-7.20, P〈0.01）. CONCLUSION： The incidences of neurasthenia and liver ultrasonography abnormalities significantly increase when the cumulative exposure dose increases. The genotypes of metabolic enzymes （CYP2E1 c1c2/c2c2, null GSTT1 and ADH2 1-1） play important roles in VCM metabolism. Polymorphisms of CYP 2E1, GSTT1 and ADH2 may be a major reason of genetic susceptibility in VCM-induced hepatic damage.

Detection of CYP2E1,a Genetic Biomarker of Susceptibility to Benzene Metabolism Toxicity in Immortal Human Lymphocytes Derived from the Han Chinese Population

Objective Cytochrome P450 2E1 （CYP2E1） is an important metabolizing enzyme involved in oxidative stress responses to benzene, a chemical associated with bone marrow toxicity and leukemia, We aimed to identify the CYP2E1 genetic biomarkers of susceptibility to benzene toxicity in support of environmental and occupational exposure prevention, and to test whether a model using immortal human lymphocytes might be an efficient tool for detecting genetic biomarkers. Methods Immortalized human lymphocyte cell lines with independent genotypes on four CYP2E1 SNP sites were induced with 0.01% phenol, a metabolite of benzene. CYP2E1 gene function was evaluated by mRNA expression and enzyme activity. DNA damage was measured by Single-Cell Gel Electrophoresis （SCGE）. Results Among the four SNPs, cells with rs2070673TT and rs2030920CC showed higher levels of ~YP2E1 transcription and enzymatic activity than the other genotypes in the same SNP site. Cells with higher gene expression genotypes also showed higher comet rates compared with lower gene expression genotypes. Conclusion These results suggest that CYP2E1 rs2070673 and rs2030920 might be the genetic biomarkers of susceptibility to benzene toxicity and that the immortalized human lymphocytes model might be an efficient tool for the detection of genetic biomarkers of susceptibility to chemicals.

Expression of p53, p21^(CIP1/WAF1) and eIF4E in the adjacent tissues of oral squamous cell carcinoma:establishing the molecular boundary and a cancer progression model

The present study evaluated the expression of key molecules and the status of DNA in both oral squamous cell carcinoma（OSCC） and adjacent tissues to establish a molecular surgical boundary and provide a cancer progression model. Biopsy samples from 50 OSCC patients were divided into T（cancer）, P1（0–0.5 cm）, P2（0.5–1 cm）, P3（1–1.5 cm） and P4（1.5–2 cm） groups based on the distances from the visible boundary of the primary focus. Twenty samples of normal mucosa were used as controls. We used immunohistochemical staining and flow cytometry to evaluate p53, p21CIP1/WAF1, e IF4 E and Ki-67 expression and to determine DNA status, respectively. Sub-mucosal invasion was present in the P1 and P2 groups as determined by haematoxylin and eosin staining.Mutant p53 expression decreased gradually from cancerous to normal mucosae, whereas p21CIP1/WAF1 expression displayed an opposite trend. e IF4 E expression decreased from cancerous to normal mucosae. Ki-67 expression, the heteroploidy ratio, S-phase fraction and proliferative index decreased gradually with the distance from the tumour centre. Based on these results, we suggest that the resection boundary in OSCC surgery should be beyond 2 cm from the tumour. Additionally, the adjacent tissues of the primary focus could be used as a model for assessing cancer progression.

Expression of BMP Receptors in Porcine Granulosa Cells (GCs) and Their Regulation by Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Bone morphogenetic proteins（BMPs） play critical roles in follicle growth and development.BMPs initiate signaling by assembling BMP receptors and activating Smads,which in turn alter expression of target genes.The mechanism underlying the regulation of the expression of BMP receptors and Smads during follicle development in pigs is still unknown.By quantitative real-time PCR,the mRNA expression of BMP receptors and Smads in granulosa cells（GC） was investigated.Cells were obtained from small porcine follicles（SF;3 mm diameter） and dominant follicles（DF;6 mm diameter）;ActR1A and BMPR2 mRNA levels in DF were significantly higher（P0.05） than that in SF,whereas BMPR1B,Smad4 and Smad7 expression tended to decrease（P0.05）.The levels of BMPR1A,ActR2,Smad1,Smad5,and Smad8 mRNA did not differ between DFs and SFs.To investigate the effect of LH on BMP receptors in GC,cells obtained from porcine DFs were cultured in medium supplemented with different doses of luteinizing hormone（LH）.High doses of LH（4 IU mL-1） significantly decreased the concentration of estradiol（E2） and progesterone（P4） in medium and the expression of Cyp19a1（P450 aromatase,P450arom） and Cyp11a1（cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme P450,P450scc）,while significantly increased viable cell numbers and up-regulated expression of cyclin dependent kinase-4（CDK4） and cyclin D2.However,LH had no effect on the expression of BMP receptor genes.Thus,the present study indicates that the expression of members of the BMP signaling pathway in porcine GC is regulated during follicle development and the expression of BMP receptors are not regulated by LH in porcine GCs.

The Limitations of Polygenic Hypothesis and Theorizing about Dual Multiple Factors and Three Normal Distributions

The original data of Nilsson-Ehle experiment in wheat were analyzed with existent genetic knowledge. It indicated that the core of polygenic hypothesis from this experiment was that a character similarity produced by additive effect of multiple genes was the basis of continuous variation. Its precondition was for effective genes to have equal effect, to show merodominance and binomial distribution and to inherit independently. In fact, quantitative characters were determined by many genes with different property, effect and behavior. So it was difficult to solve all problems of continuous variation by the aid of polygenic hypothesis. The researchers should seek new ways. With Mendelian group as research object and by means of Lyapunov central limit theorem it was proved that both genotypic value G and the environmental effect in a niche E were subordinated to the normal distribution and respectively. According to additivity of the normal distribution the phenotype P = G + E also obeyed the normal distribution P = G + E ~ and quantitative characters showed continuous variation, whether or not the linkage was presented, whether or not every gene effect was equal, whether or not there were dominance and what kind of dominance between alleles. Moreover it was discussed that the quantitative characters in self-fertilized organism and clone were submitted to the normal distribution and presented continuous variation too.

The expression and the clinical significance of eukaryotic translation initiation factors 4E and p53 in squamous cell carcinoma

Objective： To study the expression of eukaryotic initiation factor-4E （eIF-4E） and p53 in squamous cell carcinomas （SCC） and to explore their relationship and clinical significance. Methods： The expression of elF-4E and p53 in 32 cases of SCC was detected by immunohistochemical SABC method. Results： The positive rate of elF-4E and p53 expression was 93.8% and 56.3% in SCC, and the levels of eIF-4E and p53 were significantly higher in SCC than those in the normal skin tissue （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion： Both elF-4E and p53 were useful markers in SCC, but the specialty and sensitivity of the eiF- 4E protein was high in SCC.

The Effect of Lumbrokinase on P-selectin and E-selectin in Cerebral Ischemia Model of Rat

Purpose: To find the effect of lumbrokinase (LK) on P-selectin and E-selectin in ischemic rats. Methods: Male healthy Spragur-Dawley rats weighing 180-220 g (n=90) were divided into 4 groups: (1) normal control group (n=5), (2) sham-operated group (n=35), (3) ischemic group (n=35), (4) LK group (n=15). LK 10mg/kg (2000UK activity of LK) was given by intraperitoneal injection in the LK group 30 minutes before experiment. Same volume of normal saline was given in the sham-operated group and ischemic group. The ischemic model was made by modified Haruo Nagasawa's method. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the P-selectin and E-selectin positive cells in the ischemic region. Results: P-selectin and E-selectin positive cells in ischemic regions were observed in the ischemic group, and the peak of expression was at 6 hours and 12 hours, respectively. The similar changes were not observed in normal control group. There were only a few positive cells in the sham-operated group. In LK group, the P-selectin and E-selectin positive cells were significantly less than those in the ischemic group (P<0.05 at 3 hours after the onset, P<0.01 at 6 hours and P<0.01 at 12 hours, respectively). Conclusions: LK might significantly decrease the immunoreactions of P-selectin and E-selectin in ischemic lesion.

[Conclusions] The soy isoflavones could make the uterus wall and endometria of perimenopausal syndrome animal model thicken,improve the serum level of E_2 in ovariectomized rats,and decrease the level of FSH and LH,but had little effect on the adrenal tissues,level of T and P.

Role of CYP2E1 gene polymorphisms association with hepatitis risk in Northeast India

AIM:To investigate hepatitis virus, genetic and environmental factors, and their interactions in predisposing patients to liver diseases in Northeast India. METHODS:A total of 104 jaundice patients and 124 community controls were included. Serological analysis was performed by routine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and nucleic acid testing for hepatitis viruses was done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by PCR direct sequencing for viral genotyping. Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) polymorphism was studied by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Nitrite and volatile nitrosamines in indigenous foods consumed routinely by the Northeast Indian ethnic population were estimated by Griess’s reagent and GC-MS, respectively.RESULTS: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection was predominantly prevalent (36.5%) in our cohort, followed by hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis E virus (HEV) andhepatitis C virus. HBV genotype D and HEV genotype 1 were the most dominant. CYP2E1 c1/c2 genotype frequency was comparatively higher in alcoholic (P<0.0001,OR =30.5) and cryptogenic (P=0.014, OR=8.714) patients, and was associated with significantly higher hepatitis risk (P=0.0.007,OR=6.489). Mutant C allele of Cyp2E1 DraⅠ frequency was comparatively higher in HAV (P=0.006), alcoholic (P =0.003) and cryptogenic (P=0.014) cases, and was associated with overall hepatitis risk (P=0.026, OR=5.083). Indigenous foods, Gundruk, Kharoli, betel leaf and nuts were found to have the highest nitrite content. CONCLUSION: Apart from viral factors, CYP2E1 polymorphism might be associated with increased risk of liver diseases in Northeast India. Indigenous foods that contain nitrite and nitrosamine might be an associated risk factor.

Effect of ConA-receptor interaction on the structure of cell membrane

Recently, the effect of ligand receptor interaction on the membrane structure of liposomes has been studied extensively. However, little is known about how it exists on biological membranes. In this paper, the effect of Con-canavalin A (ConA) receptor interaction on the structure of cell membranes was studied by Circular Dichroism (CD) and 3lP Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).CD results of both the purified macrophage membranes and human erythrocyte ghosts (EG) showed that the conformation of membrane proteins changed after ConA bind ing.For further research, 31P-NMR was used to detect the organization of phospholipid molecules on macrophage mem branes. After ConA binding, the tendency to form non bi-layer structure increased with the amount of ConA. The changes of 31P-NMR spectra of living macrophages might be partly due to the above stated reason too.In addition, ConA-receptor interaction also induced similar results of 31P-NMR spectra in EG. In contrast, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA ), another kind of lectin, rarely showed the same influence.

P. fluorescens and B. megaterium Effect on the Lifespan of Mutant-Type dpy-11 and Wild-Type of C. elegans

The research question being studied in this paper is how do different types of bacteria as food (Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus megaterium) affect the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans in dpy-11 mutant-type and wild-type? P. fluorescens and B. megaterium will be the two pathogens that will be tested on two different types of C. elegans: mutant-type dpy-11 and wild-type. From the analysis of primary articles studying these pathogens, it can be concluded that P. fluorescens and B. megaterium are decent contenders for allowing C. elegans to grow and possibly extend the lifespan of it. P. fluorescens will allow the lifespan of the two types of nematodes to be longer. Additionally, the mu-tant-type dpy-11 of C. elegans will have a much longer lifespan, even double, compared to that of the wild-type. The results showed P. fluorescens had a longer lifespan than B. megaterium but not as long as C. elegans’ main food source, E. coli. C. elegans mutant dpy-11 had a longer lifespan than the wild-type. Furthermore, there were no C. elegans present in the B. megaterium wild-type plates.
