Abstract
Tobacco carcinogens metabolism-related genes (TCMGs) could generate reactive metabolites of tobacco carcinogens, which subsequently contributed to multiple diseases. However, the association between genetic variants in TCMGs and bladder cancer susceptibility remains unclear. In this study, we derived TCMGs from metabolic pathways of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and tobacco-specific nitrosamines, and then explored genetic associations between TCMGs and bladder cancer risk in two populations: a Chinese population of 580 cases and 1101 controls, and a European population of 5930 cases and 5468 controls, along with interaction and joint analyses. Expression patterns of TCMGs were sourced from Nanjing Bladder Cancer (NJBC) study and publicly available datasets. Among 43 TCMGs, we observed that rs7087341 T > A in AKR1C2 was associated with a reduced risk of bladder cancer in the Chinese population [odds ratio (OR) = 0.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.72-0.97, P = 1.86 × 10-2]. Notably, AKR1C2 rs7087341 showed an interaction effect with cigarette smoking on bladder cancer risk (Pinteraction = 5.04 × 10-3), with smokers carrying the T allele increasing the risk up to an OR of 3.96 (Ptrend < 0.001). Genetically, rs7087341 showed an allele-specific transcriptional regulation as located at DNA-sensitive regions of AKR1C2 highlighted by histone markers. Mechanistically, rs7087341 A allele decreased AKR1C2 expression, which was highly expressed in bladder tumors that enhanced metabolism of tobacco carcinogens, and thereby increased DNA adducts and reactive oxygen species formation during bladder tumorigenesis. These findings provided new insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying bladder cancer.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a multifactorial carcinoma with diverse heterogeneity. Genetic variations in drug-metabolizing enzymes may lead to defective detoxification and clearance of carcinogenic compounds. The high-order gene-gene interaction has been carried out between different genotypes of Phase II detoxification genes (NQO1, SULT1A1, NAT2, and EPHX1). Our results depict the genetic combination of SULT1A1 R213H with NAT2 × 5B L161L, SULT1A1 R213H with NAT2 × 5C K268R, EPHX1 H139R and NAT2 × 5B L161L exhibit a protective effect towards lung cancer risk. Further, the triple combinations of NQO1 P187S, EPHX1 Y113H, and EPHX1 H139R; NQO1 P187S, EPHX1 Y113H, and NAT2 × 6 R197Q; NQO1 P187S, EPHX1 Y113H, and NAT2 × 7 G286E; SULT1A1 R213H, EPHX1 H139R, and NAT2 × 7 G286E suggested a two-fold increased risk of lung cancer for subjects. Genetic polymorphisms of phase II detoxifying genes (NAT2, NQO1, EPHX1, SULT1A1) are prognostic markers for lung cancer.

Integrated clinical genomic analysis reveals xenobiotic metabolic genes are downregulated in meningiomas of current smokers. J Neurooncol 2023:10.1007/s11060-023-04359-7. [PMID: 37318677 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-023-04359-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumor. Recently, various genetic classification systems for meningioma have been described. We sought to identify clinical drivers of different molecular changes in meningioma. As such, clinical and genomic consequences of smoking in patients with meningiomas remain unexplored. METHODS 88 tumor samples were analyzed in this study. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to assess somatic mutation burden. RNA sequencing data was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEG) and genes sets (GSEA). RESULTS Fifty-seven patients had no history of smoking, twenty-two were past smokers, and nine were current smokers. The clinical data showed no major differences in natural history across smoking status. WES revealed absence of AKT1 mutation rate in current or past smokers compared to non-smokers (p = 0.046). Current smokers had increased mutation rate in NOTCH2 compared to past and never smokers (p < 0.05). Mutational signature from current and past smokers showed disrupted DNA mismatch repair (cosine-similarity = 0.759 and 0.783). DEG analysis revealed the xenobiotic metabolic genes UGT2A1 and UGT2A2 were both significantly downregulated in current smokers compared to past (Log2FC = - 3.97, padj = 0.0347 and Log2FC = - 4.18, padj = 0.0304) and never smokers (Log2FC = - 3.86, padj = 0.0235 and Log2FC = - 4.20, padj = 0.0149). GSEA analysis of current smokers showed downregulation of xenobiotic metabolism and enrichment for G2M checkpoint, E2F targets, and mitotic spindle compared to past and never smokers (FDR < 25% each). CONCLUSION In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of meningioma patients based on their smoking history, examining both their clinical trajectories and molecular changes. Meningiomas from current smokers were more likely to harbor NOTCH2 mutations, and AKT1 mutations were absent in current or past smokers. Moreover, both current and past smokers exhibited a mutational signature associated with DNA mismatch repair. Meningiomas from current smokers demonstrate downregulation of xenobiotic metabolic enzymes UGT2A1 and UGT2A2, which are downregulated in other smoking related cancers. Furthermore, current smokers exhibited downregulation xenobiotic metabolic gene sets, as well as enrichment in gene sets related to mitotic spindle, E2F targets, and G2M checkpoint, which are hallmark pathways involved in cell division and DNA replication control. In aggregate, our results demonstrate novel alterations in meningioma molecular biology in response to systemic carcinogens.

BMC Public Health 2022; 22:336.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome has become a major health threat throughout the world, but there are few studies that focus on the effects of housework on human metabolism. This study explores the association between housework and metabolic markers and examines whether there are gender differences in the relationship of housework intensity on these markers. Methods We obtained data for 2,624 participants from the China Health and Nutrition Survey and used binary logistic regression to analyze the association between housework and metabolic markers (triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hemoglobin, blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure). Results We observed no association between housework and metabolic markers for men. However, we find that women who engaged in housework had a higher risk of triglycerides than those who did not (OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.16, 4.25). Compared with low-intensity, we also find that women who performed moderate- and high-housework intensity had a higher risk of triglycerides (moderate-intensity: OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.78; high-intensity: OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.22, 2.98), MetS (OR=1.54, 95% CI: 0.98, 2.43; OR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.07, 2.66), pre-hypertension (OR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.62; OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.55), and obesity (OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.70; OR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.01, 2.72). Conclusion In women, we find that housework is positively associated with the metabolic markers, triglycerides, MetS, and pre-hypertension. However, we did not find evidence that this relationship exists in men, f or any biomarkers we considered. One possible explanation is that people who engage in high-intensity housework are more stressed and sleep less, which could be a mechanism by which housework becomes associated with metabolic disease.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant neoplasm in females. Genetic variations in the xenobiotic metabolising cytochrome enzymes; Family 1 Subfamily A Member 1 (CYP1A1) and Family 1 Subfamily B Member 1 (CYP1B1) might play a role in the individual susceptibility to breast cancer and its prognosis. The goal of this study is to estimate the incidence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP1A1 (rs1048943, Ile462VaI, and rs4646903/MSP1) and in CYP1B1 (rs1056836, Leu432Val) genes in patients with breast cancer. This case-control study included 180 female patients with breast cancer and 180 healthy control subjects from Kirkuk/Iraq. Genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood samples and tested for SNPs by the direct DNA sequencing technique. A statistical analysis was done to identify if there is any association between SNPs and the increasing odd of breast cancer and its stage, grade and molecular subtype at diagnosis. The common (reference) genotype of CYP1A1 gene rs1048943 is AA. The AG and GG variant genotypes were significantly more common in the breast cancer patients and conferred an increased odd of breast cancer and its later stages (stages III and IV) and poor differentiation (P < .01) but not with the molecular subtypes. The common genotype of CYP1A1 rs4646903 is TT. The variant genotypes TC and CC are not associated either with increased risk of breast cancer (P > .05) or with its stage, grade or molecular subtypes (P > .05). The GG genotype of CYP1B1 rs1056836 was the common genotype. The CG and CC variant genotypes were not associated with the increased risks of breast cancer (P > .05) or its stage, grade or molecular subtypes (P > .05). In conclusion, variants genotypes of CYP1A1 rs1048943 might play a role in breast cancer pathogenesis and prognosis and can have a place in cancer screening and tailored medicine in the future in the Iraqi population. Future larger scale studies including other genes might help to better understand the role of the SNP in breast risk and its prognosis.

Abstract
Tobacco smoking results in a multifactorial disease involving environmental and genetic factors; epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) show changes in DNA methylation levels due to cigarette consumption, partially reversible upon tobacco smoking cessation. Therefore, methylation levels could predict smoking status. This study aimed to evaluate the DNA methylation level of cg05575921 (AHRR) and cg23771366 (PRSS23) and their correlation with lung function variables, cigarette consumption, and nicotine addiction in the Mexican smoking population. We included 114 non-smokers (NS) and 102 current tobacco smokers (TS); we then further subclassified them as heavy smokers (HS) (n = 53) and light smokers (LS) (n = 49). We used restriction enzymes (MspI/HpaII) and qPCR to determine the DNA methylation level. We observed significant hypomethylation of cg05575921 in smokers compared to NS (p = 0.003); further analysis found a difference between HS and NS (p = 0.02). We did not observe differences between other groups or a positive correlation between methylation levels and age, BMI, cigarette consumption, nicotine addiction, or lung function. In conclusion, the cg05575921 site of AHRR is significantly hypomethylated in Mexican smokers, especially in HS (≥20 cigarettes per day).

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and second most common cause of cancer death in US women. Family history and genetics are well-known BC risk factors, but they only account for 15–20% of BC cases. Therefore, in addition to family history, healthcare providers must consider a woman’s modifiable and nonmodifiable personal risk factors that are associated with an increase in BC risk. The World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research estimate that 30% of BC cases in the US are preventable. Lifestyle education is imperative given the magnitude of BC occurrence. Evidence supports prevention as an effective, long-term strategy for reducing risk. Healthcare providers are key stakeholders in empowering patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle for primary BC prevention. In this paper, we review the available evidence on modifiable BC risk including weight management, nutrition, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco use and provide strategies to counsel patients on lifestyle modifications.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs)-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been shown to be implicated in the susceptibility to different types of cancer, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Identification of miRNA-related SNPs may provide candidate biomarkers for early diagnosis of ESCC. We performed a genome-wide microarray assay to identify differentially expressed miRNAs, which indicated that the miR-15 family may play an important role in ESCC biology. We then investigated the association of miR-15 family-related SNPs with ESCC. Five miR-15 family-related SNPs were genotyped in 300 patients and 418 controls. Unconditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationships of these SNPs with ESCC. Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction was employed to analyze the SNP-SNP and SNP-smoking interactions. The expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) databases were queried for in silico functional validation. We found that miR-15b SNP rs1451761T>G was associated with a significantly decreased risk of ESCC and there was a significant SNP-SNP interaction between rs1451761 and rs2740545. SNP-smoking interaction analysis also indicated that the association between rs1451761 and ESCC risk could be changed by smoking status. Additionally, the eQTL analysis revealed that rs1451761 was significantly correlated with structural maintenance of chromosomes 4 and karyopherin subunit alpha 4 mRNA expression. Our results suggest that miR-15b SNP rs1451761 may affect an individual's susceptibility to ESCC, alone and in SNP-SNP and SNP-smoking interaction manners.

Abstract
Abdominal artery aneurysm (AAA) refers to abdominal aortic dilatation of 3 cm or greater. AAA is frequently underdiagnosed due to often asymptomatic character of the disease, leading to elevated mortality due to aneurysm rupture. MiRNA constitute a pool of small RNAs controlling gene expression and is involved in many pathologic conditions in human. Targeted panel detecting altered expression of miRNA and genes involved in AAA would improve early diagnosis of this disease. In the presented study, we selected and analyzed miRNA and gene expression signatures in AAA patients. Next, generation sequencing was applied to obtain miRNA and gene-wide expression profiles from peripheral blood mononuclear cells in individuals with AAA and healthy controls. Differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2 and uninformative variable elimination by partial least squares (UVE-PLS) methods. A total of 31 miRNAs and 51 genes were selected as the most promising biomarkers of AAA. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis showed good diagnostic ability of proposed biomarkers. Genes regulated by selected miRNAs were determined in silico and associated with functional terms closely related to cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Proposed biomarkers may be used for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in management of AAA. The findings will also contribute to the pool of knowledge about miRNA-dependent regulatory mechanisms involved in pathology of that disease.

Abstract
Lung cancer, the most common of malignant tumors, is typically of the non-small cell (NSCLC) type. T-cell-based immunotherapies are a promising and powerful approach to treating NSCLCs. To characterize the CD8+ T cells of non-small cell lung cancer, we re-analyzed the published RNA-Seq gene expression profiles of 36 CD8+ T cell isolated from tumor (TIL) samples and 32 adjacent uninvolved lung (NTIL) samples. With an advanced Monte Carlo method of feature selection, we identified the CD8+ TIL specific expression patterns. These patterns revealed the key dysfunctional genes and pathways in CD8+ TIL and shed light on the molecular mechanisms of immunity and use of immunotherapy.
