MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:553. [PMID: 38674199 PMCID: PMC11052438 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60040553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Despite improvements in screening programs, a large number of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) are diagnosed in an advanced disease stage. Previous investigations imply that glutathione transferases (GSTs) might be associated with the development and progression of CRC. Moreover, the detoxification mechanism of oxaliplatin, which represents the first line of treatment for advanced CRC, is mediated via certain GSTs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of certain GST genetic variants on CRC prognosis and the efficacy of oxaliplatin-based treatment. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 523 patients diagnosed with CRC in the period between 2014 and 2016, at the Digestive Surgery Clinic, University Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. Patients were followed for a median of 43.47 ± 17.01 months (minimum 1-63 months). Additionally, 109 patients with advanced disease, after surgical treatment, received FOLFOX6 treatment as a first-line therapy between 2014 and 2020. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze cumulative survival, and the Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to study the effects of different GST genotypes on overall survival. Results: Individuals with the GSTM1-null genotype and the GSTP1 IleVal+ValVal (variant) genotype had significantly shorter survival when compared to referent genotypes (GSTM1-active and GSTP1 IleIle) (log-rank: p = 0.001). Moreover, individuals with the GSTM1-null genotype who received 5-FU-based treatment had statistically significantly shorter survival when compared to individuals with the GSTM1-active genotype (log-rank: p = 0.05). Conclusions: Both GSTM1-null and GSTP1 IleVal+ValVal (variant) genotypes are associated with significantly shorter survival in CRC patients. What is more, the GSTM1-null genotype is associated with shorter survival in patients receiving FOLOFOX6 treatment.

Association of genetic polymorphism of glutathione S-transferases with colorectal cancer susceptibility in snuff (Naswar) addicts. BRAZ J BIOL 2024; 84:e261509.

Abstract
Abstract The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between polymorphisms in detoxifying (GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1) genes and their association with colorectal cancer (CRC) in tobacco addicts of Pashtun ethnicity. Polymorphisms in the selected genes were genotyped in a case-control study consisting of 100 histologically confirmed male CRC patients and 100 birth-year and gender-matched healthy controls using the PCR−RFLP method. The GSTM1 null, and GSTT1 null genotypes were significantly contributed to the risk of CRC in the cases (OR= 3.131, 95% CI: 1.451−6.758, P = 0.004, and OR= 3.541, 95% CI: 1.716−7.306, P = 0.001, respectively), whereas the association observed for GSTP1 Val/Val (1.139, 95% CI: 0.356−3.644, P = 0.826) did not show statistical significance. The combined GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null showed a 41-fold increased risk (95% CI: 4.945−351.950, P = 0.001), while, the combined GSTM1 null and GSTP1 Ile/Val or Val/Val variant genotypes exhibited about 3-fold (95% CI: 1.196−7.414, P = 0.019) increased risk to CRC. Similarly, the combined GSTT1 null and GSTP1 Ile/Val or Val/Val variant genotypes showed about a 3-fold (95% CI: 1.285−8.101, P = 0.013) increased risk of CRC. In the combination of three GST genotypes, the GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, and GSTP1 Ile/Val or Val/Val variant genotypes demonstrated a more than a 22-fold (95% CI: 2.441−212.106, P = 0.006) increased risk of CRC. Our findings suggest that GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphism and its combination with GSTP1 may be associated with CRC susceptibility in the Naswar addicted Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

The importance of polymorphisms in the genes encoding glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes in development of selected cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Mol Biol Rep 2023; 50:9649-9661. [PMID: 37819495 PMCID: PMC10635984 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-08894-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases are a family of enzymes, whose main role is to detoxify cells from many exogenous factors, such as xenobiotics or carcinogens. It has also been proven that changes in the genes encoding these enzymes may affect the incidence of selected cancers and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to review the most important reports related to the role of glutathione S-transferases in the pathophysiology of two of the most common diseases in modern society - cancers and cardiovascular diseases. It was shown that polymorphisms in the genes encoding glutathione S-transferases are associated with the development of these diseases. However, depending on the ethnic group, the researchers obtained divergent results related to this field. In the case of the GSTP1 A/G gene polymorphism was shown an increased incidence of breast cancer in Asian women, while this relationship in European and African women was not found. Similarly. In the case of cardiovascular diseases, the differences in the influence of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 and GSTA1 polymorphisms on their development or lack of it depending on the continent were shown. These examples show that the development of the above-mentioned diseases is not only influenced by genetic changes, but their pathophysiology is more complex. The mere presence of a specific genotype within a studied polymorphism may not predispose to cancer, but in combination with environmental factors, which often depend on the place of residence, it may elevate the chance of developing the selected disease.

Abstract
Multi-drug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells, either intrinsic or acquired through various mechanisms, significantly hinders the therapeutic efficacy of drugs. Typically, the reduced therapeutic performance of various drugs is predominantly due to the inherent over expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins on the cell membrane, resulting in the deprived uptake of drugs, augmenting drug detoxification, and DNA repair. In addition to various physiological abnormalities and extensive blood flow, MDR cancer phenotypes exhibit improved apoptotic threshold and drug efflux efficiency. These severe consequences have substantially directed researchers in the fabrication of various advanced therapeutic strategies, such as co-delivery of drugs along with various generations of MDR inhibitors, augmented dosage regimens and frequency of administration, as well as combinatorial treatment options, among others. In this review, we emphasize different reasons and mechanisms responsible for MDR in cancer, including but not limited to the known drug efflux mechanisms mediated by permeability glycoprotein (P-gp) and other pumps, reduced drug uptake, altered DNA repair, and drug targets, among others. Further, an emphasis on specific cancers that share pathogenesis in executing MDR and effluxed drugs in common is provided. Then, the aspects related to various nanomaterials-based supramolecular programmable designs (organic- and inorganic-based materials), as well as physical approaches (light- and ultrasound-based therapies), are discussed, highlighting the unsolved issues and future advancements. Finally, we summarize the review with interesting perspectives and future trends, exploring further opportunities to overcome MDR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence or absence of glutathione S-transferase M1 gene (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase T1 gene (GSTT1) polymorphisms, and their combined effects have been suggested as a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVES An updated meta-analysis was performed to solve the controversy. METHODS Meta-analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were used. RESULTS Overall, the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with an increased CRC risk in Caucasians (odds ratio (OR) = 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05-1.23), Asians (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.08-1.32), high-quality studies (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.18). Moreover, the GSTM1 null genotype was also associated with an increased colon cancer risk (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.16-1.51). The GSTT1 null genotype was also associated with an increased CRC risk in Asians (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02-1.15) and Caucasians (OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09-1.41). Moreover, The GSTT1 null genotype was associated with an increased rectal cancer risk (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.01-1.27, I2 = 8.3%) in subgroup analysis by tumor location. Last, the GSTM1 null/GSTT1 null genotype was associated with an increased CRC risk in Asians. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis indicates that the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes are associated with increased CRC risk in Asians and Caucasians, and the GSTM1 null/GSTT1 null genotype was associated with increased CRC risk in Asians.
