Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common malignant brain tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality. Numerous reports have identified the correlation between aging and the prognosis of patients with GBM. The purpose of this study was to establish a prognostic model for GBM patients based on aging-related gene (ARG) to help determine the prognosis of GBM patients. METHODS 143 patients with GBM from The Cancer Genomic Atlas (TCGA), 218 patients with GBM from the Chinese Glioma Genomic Atlas (CGGA) of China and 50 patients from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were included in the study. R software (V4.2.1) and bioinformatics statistical methods were used to develop prognostic models and study immune infiltration and mutation characteristics. RESULTS Thirteen genes were screened out and used to establish the prognostic model finally, and the risk scores of the prognostic model was an independent factor (P < 0.001), which indicated a good prediction ability. In addition, there are significant differences in immune infiltration and mutation characteristics between the two groups with high and low risk scores. CONCLUSION The prognostic model of GBM patients based on ARGs can predict the prognosis of GBM patients. However, this signature requires further investigation and validation in larger cohort studies.

Abstract
Paraoxonase enzymes serve as an important physiological redox system that participates in the protection against cellular injury caused by oxidative stress. The PON enzymes family consists of three members (PON-1, PON-2, and PON-3) that share a similar structure and location as a cluster on human chromosome 7. These enzymes exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties with well-described roles in preventing cardiovascular disease. Perturbations in PON enzyme levels and their activity have also been linked with the development and progression of many neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The current review summarizes the available evidence on the role of PONs in these diseases and their ability to modify risk factors for neurological disorders. We present the current findings on the role of PONs in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative and neurological diseases.

Abstract
Extensive research has been carried out to understand and elucidate the mechanisms of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) in the development of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, and inflammatory diseases. This review focuses on the relationship between PON1 and cancer. The data suggest that PON1, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and cancer are closely linked. Certainly, the gene expression of PON1 will remain challenging to study. Therefore, targeting PON1, redox-sensitive pathways, and transcription factors promise prevention and therapy in the development of several diseases, including cancer.

The Association between PON1 (Q192R and L55M) Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Cancer: A Meta-Analysis Based on 43 Studies. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:5897505. [PMID: 31467900 PMCID: PMC6699405 DOI: 10.1155/2019/5897505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2019] [Revised: 06/16/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Q192R and L55M polymorphism were considered to be associated with the development of multiple cancers. Nevertheless, the results of these researches were inconclusive and controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of all eligible case-control studies to assess the association between PON1 (Q192R and L55M) gene polymorphisms and risk of cancer. With the STATA 14.0 software, we evaluated the strength of the association by using the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 43 case-control publications 19887 cases and 23842 controls were employed in our study. In all genetic models, a significant association between PON1-L55M polymorphisms and overall cancer risk was observed. Moreover, in the stratified analyses by cancer type, polymorphism of PON1-L55M played a risk factor in the occurrence of breast cancer, hematologic cancer, and prostate cancer. Similarly, an increased risk was observed in the Caucasian and Asian population as well as hospital-based group and population-based group. For PON1-Q192R polymorphisms, in the stratified analyses by cancer type, PON1-Q192R allele was associated with reduced cancer risks in breast cancer. Furthermore, for racial stratification, there was a reduced risk of cancer in recession model in Caucasian population. Similarly, in the stratification analysis of control source, the overall risk of cancer was reduced in the heterozygote comparison and dominant model in the population-based group. In conclusion, PON1-Q192R allele decreased the cancer risk especially breast cancer; there was an association between PON1-L55M allele and increased overall cancer risk. However, we need a larger sample size, well-designed in future and at protein levels to confirm these findings.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the relation between two paraoxonase1 (PON1) polymorphisms, Q192R and L55M and susceptibility to gastric cancer in an Iranian population. In this case-control study the PON1 polymorphisms were assessed in 90 gastric cancer patients and 90 healthy controls by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Regarding PON1 Q192R polymorphism, a significant increase in the R allele in the patient group compared with the controls (p value = 0.0006) While the Q allele was more frequent in the control group. No significant difference was found in the genotype or allele frequency of the L55M polymorphism between healthy individuals and patients with gastric cancer. Our results demonstrated the protective effect of Q allele against gastric cancer.

Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in western countries, and thus represents a major global public health issue. Whilst it is well-recognized that diet, obesity, and smoking are risk factors for cancer, the role of low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in cancer is less well appreciated. Conflicting evidence suggests that serum HDL-C levels may be either positively or negatively associated with cancer incidence and mortality. Such disparate associations are supported in part by the multitude of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functions that can all have an impact on cancer cell biology. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the crosstalk between HDLs and cancer, focusing on the molecular mechanisms underlying this association.

Abstract
PON1 is a multifunctional enzyme involved in oxidative stress and detoxification of some organophosphate (OP) pesticides. It has been associated with nervous system diseases like Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and autism. We previously found that PON1 susceptible genotypes were associated with lower IQ scores in children. Epigenetic marks, such as DNA methylation, can regulate gene expression. Yet, data on whether DNA methylation may influence the relationship between PON1 levels and neurobehavior are limited. In this study, we used Illumina 450K and EPIC BeadChip arrays to assess PON1 DNA methylation in blood specimens collected from children (n = 238) at birth (cord blood) and age 7 years and examined their relationship with cognitive outcomes. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children was used to assess Full Scale IQ and four composite measures (Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed Indexes) in 7-year-old children. We observed a consistent yet nonsignificant inverse relationship of methylation at several CpG sites close to the PON1 transcription start site with Full Scale IQ and other composite measures of cognition. We also found an inverse relationship between cord blood methylation at cg15887283 with working memory and a positive association of 7-year-old methylation at cg22798737 with processing speed, independent of OP exposure. However, none of the associations remained significant after accounting for multiple comparisons. This study provides some evidence of the role DNA methylation may play in the known relationship between PON1 and neurobehavior in children, however it appears to be only suggestive and warrants additional research.

Abstract
Paraoxonase 1 plays an important role in protection from oxidative stress and also decomposes homocysteine thiolactone, the toxic metabolite of homocysteine. A limited number of reports evaluated the role of paraoxonase 1 in women affected by female genital tract neoplasms, including endometrial cancer. This study aimed to analyze the paraoxonase activity in the group of endometrial cancer patients (n = 48) who underwent primary surgery and to compare the data available with a well-matched control group (n = 30). Due to the role of paraoxonase 1 in the metabolism of homocysteine (Hcy) thiolactone, the amount of Hcy-thiolactone as well as total serum Hcy concentrations was also measured. Serum paraoxonase 1 activity toward synthetic substrates, paraoxon and phenyl acetate, in the study group was significantly lower compared to the control one. The mean paraoxonase 1 activity toward homocysteine thiolactone tended to be lower in the endometrial cancer group but this difference was not significant. There was no relationship between endometrial cancer and Q192R polymorphism of PON1 assessed by the dual substrate method. No differences in paraoxonase 1 activity between endometrial cancer subgroups according to clinico-pathological features were detected. Total serum homocysteine and protein-bound homocysteine thiolactone did not differ between control and cancer groups. In conclusion, reduced paraoxonase 1 activity suggests diminished important antioxidant mechanisms during the development of primary endometrial cancers in humans. PON1 Q192R polymorphism is not associated with the risk of endometrial cancer. Despite lower paraoxonase 1 activity, homocysteine concentration, and protein N-homocysteinylation in endometrial cancers do not differ from matched controls.

Abstract
The paraoxonase (PON) gene family includes three proteins, PON1, PON2 and PON3. PON1 and PON3 are both associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and exert anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. PON2 and PON3 are intracellular enzymes which modulate mitochondrial superoxide anion production and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis. The pleiotropic roles exerted by PONs have been mainly investigated in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. In recent years, overexpression of PON2 and PON3 has been observed in cancer cells and it has been proposed that both enzymes could be involved in tumor survival and stress resistance. Moreover, a lower activity of serum PON1 has been reported in cancer patients. This review summarizes literature data on the role of PONs in human cancers and their potential role as a target for antitumor drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress is the main pathogenetic mechanism in bladder cancer among many other causes. We aimed to investigate whether a potential relationship exists between bladder cancer and the activities of paraoxonase (PON1) and arylesterase (ARE) enzymes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 56 patients with bladder cancer, and 57 healthy individuals. The relationships between enzyme activity and tumour grade, stage, muscular invasion and tumour size were evaluated. For statistical analysis, One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Independent-T, ANOVA and Post-Hoc Bonferroni tests were used. RESULTS Serum levels of PON1 and ARE enzymes, and total cholesterol were significantly lower in bladder cancer group. While other lipid parameters were similar in both the patient and the control groups. Levels of ARE were positively correlated with lipid parameters except for HDL cholesterol. CONCLUSION Our results showed that decreased serum PON1 and ARE enzyme activities are related with tumour load and recurrence. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm predictive role of enzymatic activities of PON1 and ARE in the diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer.

Abstract
Common genetic variation Q192R in the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene has been considered to be implicated in the development of many cancers. Nevertheless, results from the related studies were inconsistent. To elucidate the association, we performed a meta-analysis for 8,112 cases and 10,037 controls from 32 published case-control studies. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association by STATA 12.0 software. Overall, we revealed that the PON1-192R allele was associated with a reduced risk of the overall cancers. Moreover, in the stratified analysis by cancer types (breast cancer, prostate cancer, brain cancer etc.), the results showed that PON1-192R allele was associated with a decreased risk in breast cancer (R vs Q: OR=0.605, 95% CI=0.378-0.967, Pheterogeneity=0.000; RR vs QQ: OR=0.494, 95% CI=0.275-0.888, Pheterogeneity=0.002; RQ vs QQ: OR=0.465, 95% CI=0.259-0.835, Pheterogeneity=0.000; and RR+RQ vs QQ: OR=0.485, 95% CI=0.274-0.857, Pheterogeneity=0.000), and associated with prostate cancer in homozygote (RR vs QQ: OR=0.475, 95% CI=0.251- 0.897, Pheterogeneity=0.001) and recessive models (RR vs RQ+QQ: OR=0.379, 95% CI=0.169-0.853, Pheterogeneity=0.000), while an increased risk was identified in lymphoma (R vs Q: OR=1.537, 95% CI=1.246-1.896, Pheterogeneity=0.944; RR vs QQ: OR=2.987, 95% CI=1.861-4.795, Pheterogeneity=0.350; RR+RQ vs QQ: OR=1.354, 95% CI=1.021-1.796, Pheterogeneity=0.824; and RR vs RQ+QQ: OR=2.934, 95% CI=1.869-4.605, Pheterogeneity=0.433), and an increased risk in prostate cancer under heterozygote comparison (RQ vs QQ: OR=1.782, 95% CI=1.077-2.950, Pheterogeneity=0.000) and dominant models (RR+RQ vs QQ: OR=1.281, 95% CI=1.044-1.573, Pheterogeneity=0.056). When subgroup analysis that performed by the control source (hospital based or population based), a decreased risk of the overall cancers was revealed by homozygote (RR vs QQ: OR=0.601, 95% CI=0.366-0.987, Pheterogeneity=0.000) and dominant models (RR vs RQ+QQ: OR=0.611, 95% CI=0.384-0.973, Pheterogeneity=0.000) in hospital based group. Stratifying by ethnicity, a significantly reduced risk of the overall cancers under allele contrast model (R vs Q: OR=0.788, 95% CI=0.626-0.993, Pheterogeneity=0.000) was uncovered in Caucasian. In summary, these findings suggested that PON1 Q192R polymorphism was associated with a reduced risk of the overall cancers, nevertheless, it might increase cancer susceptibility of prostate and lymphoma risk. Large well-designed epidemiological studies will be continued on this issue of interest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High levels of toxic reactive oxygen species have been found in many types of cancer cells. Serum arylesterase (ARE) and paraoxonase (PON) are esterase enzymes that have strong antioxidant characteristics. The main purpose of our study was to evaluate the activity of ARE and PON in the sera of patients with ovarian cancer and benign ovarian tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 30 patients with ovarian cancer, 42 patients with benign ovarian tumors, and 19 healthy age- and sex-matched individuals. ARE and PON activities were measured using spectrophotometry. RESULTS Serum ARE activity was significantly different among the three studied groups (p<0.0001). However, posthoc tests revealed that ARE activity was lower in the benign ovarian tumor group (median, 1.53 U/mL; range, 0.43-2.47 U/mL) than in the other groups. There were no differences in ARE activity between patients with ovarian cancer (1.89 U/mL; range, 1.01-2.56 U/mL) and healthy individuals (2.05 U/mL; range, 0.79-2.44 U/mL). We found no differences in PON activity or the PON:ARE activity ratio between the studied groups. Tumor size in the benign ovarian tumor group was positively correlated with ARE activity (R Spearman=0.46, p=0.003) and negatively correlated with PON activity (R Spearman=-0.50, p=0.001). The ARE and PON activities were not influenced by histological type, ovarian cancer grade, or disease advancement. CONCLUSION ARE activity is higher in patients with ovarian cancer than in patients with benign ovarian tumors; however, the serum activity of ARE is similar between patients with cancer and healthy individuals.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association of the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) gene polymorphisms c.-108C>T, p.L55M, and p.Q192R with the risk of glioma in Southeast Mexico. Decreased PON1 activity caused by polymorphisms has been observed in gliomas, thus supporting the theory that PON1 is involved in tumorigenesis in the brain. METHODS Sixty-seven glioma patients and 58 control individuals were included. Three PON1 polymorphisms were genotyped by real-time PCR allelic discrimination using TaqMan probes: c.-108C>T in the promoter region, p.Q192R and p.L55M, both of which were in the coding region. Allele, genotype, and haplotype frequencies were assessed in cases and controls to test for statistical associations (STATA 10.2 package). RESULTS Significant differences were found for the PON1 c.-108C>T polymorphism between the cases and controls. Compared to the controls the cases were more likely to be CT heterozygous (p = 0.002) or TT homozygous (p = 0.036); similarly cases were more likely to possess a T allele (p = 0.032). In contrast, the p.L55M and p.Q192R polymorphisms did not show significant differences between the glioma cases and controls (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The PON1 c.-108C>T polymorphism in the promoter region is associated with genetic risk for glioma. Conversely, p.L55M and p.Q192R polymorphisms in the coding region do not seem to have an influence in this population.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive type of human brain tumor. Although considerable efforts to delineate the underlying pathophysiological pathways have been made during the last decades, only very limited progress on treatment have been achieved because molecular pathways that drive the aggressive nature of GBM are largely unknown. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of environmental factors and the role of gene-environment interactions (GEI) in the development of GBM. Factors such as small sample sizes and study costs have limited the conduct of GEI studies in brain tumors however. Additionally, advances in high-throughput microarrays have produced a wealth of information concerning molecular biology of glioma. In particular, microarrays have been used to obtain genetic and epigenetic changes between normal non-tumor tissue and glioma tissue. Due to the relative rarity of gliomas, microarray data for these tumors is often the product of small studies, and thus pooling this data becomes desirable. To address the challenge of small sample sizes and GEI study difficulties, we introduce a comprehensive bioinformatics method using genetic variations (copy number variations and small-scale variations) and environmental data integration that links with glioblastoma (GEG) to identify: (1) genes that interact with chemicals and have genetic variants linked to the development of GBM, (2) important pathways that may be influenced by environmental exposures (or endogenous chemicals), and (3) genes with variants in GBM that have been understudied in relation to GBM development. The first step in our GEG method identified genes responsive to environmental exposures using the Environmental Genome Project, Comparative Toxicology, and Seattle SNPs databases. These environmentally responsive genes were then compared to a curated list of genes containing copy number variation and/or mutations in GBM. This comparison produced a list of genes responsive to the environment and important to GBM that was then further analyzed using gene networking tools such as RSpider, Cytoscape, and DAVID. Using this GEG bioinformatics method we were able to identify 173 genes with the potential to be involved in GEI that may be important to the development of GBM. Sixty five of these environmentally responsive genes have not been reported as important to GBM development, despite several of them having substantial potential for response to chemicals and subsequent disease related actions. The main biological functions of these 173 genes include signaling by nerve growth factor, DNA repair, integrin cell surface interactions, biological oxidations, apoptosis, synaptic transmission, cell cycle checkpoints, and arachidonic acid metabolism. Importantly, some of these functions have been implicated in the development of several cancers, including glioma. In summary, our GEG bioinformatics approach revealed potential gene-environment interactions, and generated new data for hypothesis generation, in GBM.

Abstract
Modern approaches in health care are moving toward the model of "personalized medicine." Today, current research in molecular biology and medicine is focused on developing genomic markers with predictive, therapeutic, and prognostic significance. One of the most widespread and significant genomic markers is the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), which represents a variation in DNA sequence when a single nucleotide differs between members of a biological species or paired chromosomes in an individual. Antioxidant defense enzymes break down dangerous reactive compounds, called reactive oxygen species, and prevent DNA strand from carcinogen-specific mutations. It is well known that inherited variations in genes that encode antioxidant defense enzymes may modulate individual susceptibility to cancer. In our previous study we have determined the predictive significance of several SNPs of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase gene families in the context of cancer risk. The present review includes a summary and discussion of the current findings evaluating the role of SNPs of the myeloperoxidase (MPO) and paraoxanase (PON) genes in cancer occurrence and development. We suggest that rs2333227 (MPO_ -463G/A) and rs854560 polymorphisms have a great predictive significance; they could probably be utilized as cancer predictors in the future. Also, we recommend further in-depth research for rs11079344 (MPO), rs8178406 (MPO), rs2243828 (MPO), rs662 (PON1), rs705379 (PON1), and PON1_304A/G polymorphisms. These SNPs may become significant cancer-associated biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) detoxifies oxon derivatives of some organophosphate (OP) pesticides, and its genetic polymorphisms influence enzyme activity and quantity. We previously reported that maternal urinary concentrations of dialkyl phosphate (DAP) metabolites, a marker of OP pesticide exposure, were related to poorer mental development and maternally reported symptoms consistent with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) in 2-year-olds participating in the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) study. OBJECTIVE We determined whether PON1 genotypes and enzyme measurements were associated with child neurobehavioral development and whether PON1 modified the association of in utero exposure to OPs (as assessed by maternal DAPs) and neurobehavior. METHODS We measured DAP concentrations in maternal urine during pregnancy, PON1₁₉₂ and PON1₋₁₀₈ genotypes in mothers and children, and arylesterase (ARYase) and paraoxonase (POase) in maternal, cord, and 2-year-olds' blood. We assessed 353 2-year-olds on the Mental Development Index (MDI) and Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development and queried their mothers on the Child Behavior Checklist to obtain a score for PDD. RESULTS Children with the PON1(-108T) allele had poorer MDI scores and somewhat poorer PDI scores. Children were less likely to display PDD when they or their mothers had higher ARYase activity and when their mothers had higher POase activity. The association between DAPs and MDI scores was strongest in children with PON1(-108T) allele, but this and other interactions between DAPs and PON1 polymorphisms or enzymes were not significant. CONCLUSION PON1 was associated with child neurobehavioral development, but additional research is needed to confirm whether it modifies the relation with in utero OP exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) plays a major role in the metabolism of several organophosphorus compounds. The enzyme is encoded by the polymorphic gene PON1, located on chromosome 7q21.3. Aiming to identify genetic variations related to the risk of developing brain tumors, we investigated the putative association between common nonsynonymous PON1 polymorphisms and the risk of developing astrocytoma and meningioma. METHODS Seventy one consecutive patients with brain tumors (43 with astrocytoma grade II/III and 28 with meningioma) with ages ranging 21 to 76 years, and 220 healthy controls subjects were analyzed for the frequency of the nonsynonymous PON1 genotypes L55M rs854560 and Q192R rs662. All participants were adult Caucasian individuals recruited in the central area of Spain. RESULTS The frequencies of the PON1 genotypes and allelic variants of the polymorphisms PON1 L55M and PON1 Q192R did not differ significantly between patients with astrocytoma and meningioma and controls. The minor allele frequencies were as follows: PON1 55L, 0.398, 0.328 and 0.286 for patients with astrocytoma, meningioma and control individuals, respectively; PON1 192R, 0.341, 0.362 and 0.302 for patients with astrocytoma, meningioma and control individuals, respectively. Correction for age, gender, or education, made no difference in odds ratios and the p values remained non-significant. Haplotype association analyses did not identify any significant association with the risk of developing astrocytoma or meningioma. CONCLUSIONS Common nonsynonymous PON1 polymorphisms are not related with the risk of developing astrocytoma and meningioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paraoxonase enzyme was first identified as a protective barrier against organophosphorus poisoning. After painstaking research spanning the last three decades, the knowledge about this enzyme has increased immensely. The present review attempts to elaborate the role of paraoxonase enzyme in normal physiology as well as provide an overview of the various disorders in which the enzyme may have a role in etiopathogenesis. METHODS The literature was searched from the websites of the National Library of Medicine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and Pub Med Central, the U.S. National Library of Medicine's digital archive of life sciences journal literature. RESULTS Paraoxonase acts as an important antioxidant enzyme against oxidative stress. The enzyme has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of disorders including cardiovascular disorders, cancers etc. CONCLUSIONS A better understanding of the molecular mechanism of the enzyme along with the regulatory circuits will help us to utilize agonists to potentiate the anti oxidant actions of the enzyme.

Abstract
Although primary brain tumors (PBTs) are generally considered to be a multifactorial disorder, understanding the genetic basis and etiology of the disease is essential for PBT risk assessment. Understanding of the genetic susceptibility for PBT has come from studies of rare genetic syndromes, linkage analysis, family aggregation, early-onset pediatric cases, and mutagen sensitivity. There are currently no effective markers to assess biological dose of exposures and genetic heterogeneity. The priorities recently recommended by the Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium emphasized the need for expanding research in genetics and molecular epidemiology. In this article, we review the literature to identify molecular epidemiologic case-control studies of PBTs that were hypothesis-driven and focused on four hypothesized candidate pathways: DNA repair, cell cycle, metabolism, and inflammation. We summarize the results in terms of genetic associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms of these pathways. We also discuss future research directions based on available evidence and technologies, and conclude that high resolution whole genome approach with significantly large sample size could rapidly advance our understanding of the genetic etiology of PBTs. Literature searches were done on PubMed in March 2009 with the terms glioma, glioblastoma, brain tumor, association, and polymorphism, and we only reviewed English language publications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The HDL-associated enzyme paraoxonase 1 acts to decrease oxidative stress, which is thought to contribute to cancer development. PON1, which encodes paraoxonase 1, has two common, nonsynonymous SNPs that alter the activity of this enzyme and may influence cancer risk. METHODS We investigated the association the nonsynonymous SNPs, Q192R and L55M, with prostate cancer risk in a nested case-control analysis of 1,268 cases and 1,268 matched controls from the American Cancer Society CPS-II Nutrition Cohort. RESULTS For both the Q192R and L55MSNPs, the presence of the variant allele was associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer that approached statistical significance. The genotype combination that included one variant allele from both SNPs (QR/LM) was associated with an increased risk of more than twofold (OR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.31, 3.64). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the Q129R and the L55M SNP may be associated with increased risk of aggressive prostate, perhaps through attenuation of paraoxonase l activity.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is believed to play a key role in tumor formation. Although this mechanism could be especially pertinent for brain tumors given the high oxygen consumption of the brain, very little has been published regarding brain tumor risk with respect to genes mediating oxidative stress. Using data from non-Hispanic whites in a hospital-based case-control study conducted by the National Cancer Institute between 1994 and 1998, we evaluated risk of glioma (n=362), meningioma (n=134), and acoustic neuroma (n=69) compared to noncancer controls (n=494) with respect to nine single nucleotide polymorphisms from seven genes involved in oxidative stress response (CAT, GPX1, NOS3, PON1, SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3). We observed increased risk of glioma (odds ratio [OR](CT/CC)=1.3; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.0-1.7) and meningioma (OR(CT/CC)=1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.7) with the C variant of SOD3 rs699473. There was also indication of increased acoustic neuroma risk with the SOD2 rs4880 Ala variant (OR(CT/CC)=2.0; 95% CI, 1.0-4.2) and decreased acoustic neuroma risk with the CAT rs1001179 T allele variant (OR(CT/TT)=0.6; 95% CI, 0.3-1.0). These relationships persisted when major groups of disease controls were excluded from the analysis. Our results suggest that common variants in the SOD2, SOD3, and CAT genes may influence brain tumor risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Oxidative DNA damage may contribute to the cancer risk. The antioxidant paraoxonase (PON1) is an endogenous free radical scavenger in the human body. The aim of this study was to determine serum PON1 and arylesterase (ARE) activities in patients with newly diagnosed LC. METHODS This case control study involved a total of 39 patients with newly diagnosed LC (untreated) and same number of age- and sex-matched healthy individuals. Serum PON1 and ARE activities in addition to lipid parameters were measured in both groups. RESULTS Serum PON1 and ARE activities were found to be lower in patients with LC compared to the controls (p = 0.001 and p = 0.018, respectively). The ratio of PON1/high density lipoprotein (HDL) was significantly lower in the LC group compared to the control one (p = 0.009). There were positive correlations between the serum levels of HDL and PON1 in both the control (r = 0.415, p = 0.009) and the LC groups (r = 0.496, p = 0.001), respectively. PON1 enzyme activity was calculated as three different phenotypes in both groups. In regard to lipid parameters, total cholesterol levels were significantly lower (p = 0.014) in the LC group whereas the other lipid parameters such as HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels were not significantly different among groups. CONCLUSION Serum PON1 activity is significantly low in the LC group compared with the healthy controls. Metastasis status and cigarette smoking do not affect serum PON1 activity in the LC patients.
