Association of TNF-a (rs361525 and rs1800629) with susceptibility to cervical intraepithelial lesion and cervical carcinoma in women from Republic of North Macedonia. Int J Immunogenet 2020; 47:522-528. [PMID: 32662227 DOI: 10.1111/iji.12506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2020] [Revised: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Cervical cancer (CCa) is one of the most common malign diseases in women associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus is an initiating factor, but not sufficient for the development of cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN) and CCa. The disease might be a result of the influence of host's genetic factors and polymorphisms in inflammatory-related genes that modify the immune response to HPV and attribute to cancer susceptibility. We carried out a study to determine the association between TNF-a-238G/A and TNF-a-308 G/T polymorphisms with HPV-positive CIN and CCa in women living in the Republic of North Macedonia. Using multiplex SNaPshot analysis for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we analysed the genotype and allele distributions of TNF-a-238G/A and TNF-a-308 G/T in 134 cases (HPV-positive and histologically confirmed CIN and CCa) and in 113 controls (cytological and HPV-negative women). For further analysis, the case group was stratified in three subgroups (all cases: CINs+ CCa- group; CIN2+ -group and CIN1- group). Data analysed using the odds ratio (OR) and chi-square test showed the frequency of AA genotypes and A alleles are not significantly higher in cases compared to the controls for both SNPs: AA of TNF-a-238 (0.7% versus 0%) and TNF-a-308 (1.5% versus 0.9%) as well as A allelic frequency (3.0% versus 1.7%) and (13.1% versus 10.6), respectively. The comparison of the case's subgroups with the control group did not show a statistically significant difference. Compared to controls, TNF-a-238G/A and TNF-a-308 G/T are not associated with the risk of HPV associated CIN or CCa in the studied women.

Abstract
Cisplatin [cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (II), CDDP], morphine (Mor), and electromagnetic field (EMF) induced oxidative stress. In this study, we tried to increase the cytotoxicity of CDDP in combination with Mor and/or EMF in MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y cells. Furthermore, we evaluate the expression levels of 11 antioxidant genes in both cell lines. We designed four treatments: CDDP alone, "CDDP+Mor," "CDDP+EMF," and "CDDP+Mor+EMF." Serial dilutions of CDDP, Mor (5.0 μM), and EMF (50 Hz, 0.50 mT, "15 min field-on/15 min field-off") were used for estimation of relative IC50 values. The mRNA expression levels of antioxidant genes were determined by real-time PCR. The IC50 value of CDDP in "CDDP+Mor+EMF" treatment was significantly higher than CDDP alone and "CDDP+Mor" treatments in both cell lines. Whereas the expression levels of antioxidant genes in the four treatments showed similar patterns in MCF-7 cells, in SH-SY5Y cells, most of the antioxidant genes showed an upregulation with "CDDP+EMF" and "CDDP+Mor+EMF" treatments. Moreover, significant differences in the number of upregulated genes were observed between different treatments in SH-SY5Y cells. The molecular mechanism of CDDP-reduced cytotoxicity in our designed combinations is probably different in MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y cells. CDDP in combination with EMF could protect SH-SY5Y cells from the cytotoxicity, whereas it has no significant change in MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim: The present study aim to analyze the relationship between GST M/T genotypes of glutathione S-transferases and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
Materials and Methods: A prospective case-control study has been designed including 69 cases with different degrees of cervical dysplasia and 107 controls. All patients had been examined colposcopically. For every patient both cervical and blood specimen have been obtained. The peripheral blood was used for GST M/T genotyping. The statistical analysis was performed using OR and chi-square at a level of significance inferior to 0.05.
Results: No statistically significant differences had been found between cases and controls for GST T-/M- geno-type (T-/M-, χ2=0.03, p= 0.8610) and T+/M+ χ2=0.65, p = 0.4197. Patients with in situ carcinoma had significant GST genotype association for T-/M+ genotype (OR=4.66, CI 95% [0.6528,24.9725], χ2=4.6, p=0.0314) and for T+/M- genotype (OR=0.12, CI 95% [0.0027,0.9465], χ2=0.05, p=0.0219).
Conclusion: The combination of GST genotypes can be included in a predictive score for patients with cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
AbstractPolymorphism of p53 codon 72 plays an important role in pathogenesis and development of cancer. Published data on the association between the p53 codon 72 polymorphism and endometrial cancer risk are controversial. A meta-analysis was performed to assess whether the polymorphism of p53 codon 72 is associated with endometrial cancer risk. Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedicine Databases were searched to identify eligible studies. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for p53 codon 72 polymorphism and endometrial cancer were appropriately derived from fixed-effects or random effects models. A total of 12 studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis. The pooled analyses revealed that p53 codon 72 polymorphism was not associated with endometrial cancer risk. Stratified analysis by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium exhibited a significantly increased risk of endometrial cancer among studies deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in heterozygote comparison (Pro/Arg vs Arg/Arg; OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.42–0.87) and dominant model (Pro/Pro + Pro/Arg vs Arg/Arg; OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.47–0.92). This study indicated that the p53 codon 72 polymorphism may not be associated with endometrial cancer risk.

Abstract
High risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is an important etiological factor in initiation of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL), but not enough for malignant progression to cervical cancer (CCa). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): rs1042522 within the codon 72 of p53 and rs2279744 within MDM2 promoter gene are plausible factors for development of SIL or CCa conferring increased attenuation of p53 pathway. We investigated the association of these SNPs with the HPV positive SIL and CCa among women from the Republic of Macedonia. Using a multiplex PCR SNaPShot analysis we genotyped rs1042522 and rs2279744 in 131 HPV positive women with SIL or CCa and 110 HPV and cytologicaly negative controls subject. No significant difference in either genotype or allelic frequencies for rs1042522 and rs2279744 between cases and control was found. The stratification of patients on the basis of the lesion grade revealed
lower frequency of CC genotype and C allele of rs1042522 in HSIL and CCa compared to LSIL [GG vs CC; p=0.001, OR=0.4; CG vs CC; p=0.04, OR=0.03 and CG+ GG vs CC; p=0.004, OR=0.2]. Additionally TT genotype and T allele of MDM2 309 showed significantly lower frequency in HSIL and CCa group then in LSIL [G vs T p=0.02, OR=0.52; GG vs TT; p=0.04, OR=0.29; ТТ vs ТG+GG; p=0.007, OR=0.34].The Arg variant of rs1042522 and T allele/TT genotype of rs2279744 are associated with progression to LSIL to HSIL or CCa and may be used as prediction markers in CCa management, but the clinical relevant warrants further validation in large and well-designed

Abstract
BACKGROUND In India, Epithelial ovarian cancer has emerged as one of the most common malignancies affecting women. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) induces expression of the B cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein (BAX) gene by directly binding to the TP53-binding element in the BAX promoter. Therefore, we hypothesized that single-nucleotide polymorphism of BAX promoter -248G>A and TP53 72Arg>Pro gene may jointly contribute to ovarian cancer risk. OBJECTIVES This study aimed at exploring the association of BAX promoter -248G>A and TP53 72Arg>Pro gene polymorphism with risk of developing EOC and its clinicopathological features and to evaluate gene-gene interaction of these two polymorphisms with risk of developing EOC. MATERIALS The study was conducted on 70 Epithelial ovarian cancer patients and 70 healthy controls. Genotyping of p53 codon 72 and BAX promoter gene was examined by ASO-PCR and PICA-PCR, respectively. Odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS We found an increased cancer risk associated with the BAX AA (ORs = 4.1, 95 %, CI = 1.23-13.97) genotype. An increased risk was also associated with the TP53 Pro/Pro (OR = 4.4, 95 % CI = 1.40-13.99) and Arg/Pro genotype (OR = 2.3, 95 % CI = 1.13-4.86). The gene-gene interaction of these polymorphisms increased EOC risk in a more than additive manner (ORs for the presence of both BAX AA and TP53 Arg/Pro genotypes = 8.7, 95 % CI = 1.66-45.48). BAX GG genotype was associated with adverse staging of cancer (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that polymorphism of BAX and TP53 genes may be potential genetic modifiers for developing ovarian cancer.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical significance of glutathione-S-transferase GSTM1, GSTT1, and NQO1 c.609C>T (rs1800566) genetic polymorphisms in cervical carcinogenesis. GSTM1, GSTT1, and NQO1 polymorphisms together with human papillomavirus (HPV) types were examined in a total of 192 cervical smear in exfoliated cervical cell samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system. The 19 patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion had statistically higher frequency of null GSTT1 genotype than 9 with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) among the 67 patients with high-risk HPV (P = 0.024). The 24 patients with HSIL had also statistically higher frequency of NQO1 (CT+TT) genotype than 14 with LSIL among the 67 patients with high-risk HPV (P = 0.024). GSTT1 null and NQO1 genotype in cervical cell samples may be associated with more severe precancerous lesions of the cervix in a Japanese population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about the molecular alterations that drive formation and growth of conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). We therefore sought to identify genetic changes that could be used as diagnostic markers or therapeutic targets. METHODS The DNA extracted from 10 snap-frozen cSCC tumor specimens and 2 in situ carcinomas was analyzed using array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), and further examined with NanoString and quantitative PCR. RESULTS The number of regions of DNA loss ranged from 1 to 23 per tumor, whereas gains and amplifications ranged from 1 to 15 per tumor. Most large regions of chromosomal gain and loss were confirmed by NanoString karyotype analysis. The commonest alteration was amplification of 8p11.22 in 9 tumors (75%), and quantitative PCR analysis revealed 100-fold or greater overexpression of ADAM3A mRNA from 8p11.22 locus. In addition, recurring losses were observed at 14q13.2 and 22q11.23, both lost in 5 (42%) of the 12 tumors, and at 12p13.31, lost in 4 (33%) of the 12 samples. Of the eight loci associated with the DNA damage repair syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum, three showed loss of at least one allele in our aCGH analysis, including XPA (9q22.33, one tumor), XPE/DDB2 (11p11.2, one tumor) and XPG/ERCC5 (13q33.1, three tumors). CONCLUSIONS Conjunctival SCC contains a range of chromosomal alterations potentially important in tumor formation and growth. Amplification of 8p11.22 and overexpression of ADAM3A suggests a potential role for this protease. Our findings also suggest that defects in DNA repair loci are important in sporadic cSCC.

Abstract
Glutathione is considered the main regulator of redox balance in the cellular milieu due to its capacity for detoxifying deleterious molecules. The oxidative stress induced as a result of a variety of stimuli promotes protein oxidation, usually at cysteine residues, leading to changes in their activity. Mild oxidative stress, which may take place in physiological conditions, induces the reversible oxidation of cysteines to sulfenic acid form, while pathological conditions are associated with higher rates of reactive oxygen species production, inducing the irreversible oxidation of cysteines. Among these, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes have been proposed to be pathogenetically linked to this state. In diabetes-associated vascular complications, lower levels of glutathione and increased oxidative stress have been reported. S-glutathionylation has been proposed as a posttranslational modification able to protect proteins from over-oxidizing environments. S-glutathionylation has been identified in proteins involved in diabetic models both in vitro and in vivo. In all of them, S-glutathionylation represents a mechanism that regulates the response to diabetic conditions, and has been described to occur in erythrocytes and neutrophils from diabetic patients. However, additional studies are necessary to discern whether this modification represents a biomarker for the early onset of diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
Background The Fas rs180082 polymorphism has been reported to be associated with cervical cancer susceptibility, yet the results of these previous results have been inconsistent or controversial. The objective of this study was to explore whether the Fas rs180082 polymorphism confers susceptibility to cervical cancer. Methods The relevant studies were identified through a search of PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (Embase), Elsevier Science Direct and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) until July 2012. The association between the Fas rs180082 polymorphism and cervical cancer risk was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) together with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results A total of 7 case–control studies were eventually identified. We found no association between Fas rs180082 polymorphism and cervical cancer susceptibility in overall population (G versus A: OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.99-1.07, P = 0.197; AG + GG versus AA: OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.98-1.09, P = 0.176; GG versus AA + AG: OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.84–1.31, P = 0.701). In subgroup analysis, similar results were found in Asian (G versus A: OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 0.97–1.15, P = 0.195; AG + GG versus AA: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.98–1.19, P = 0.176; GG versus AA + AG: OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.51–1.84, P = 0.935) and African (G versus A: OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.97-1.15, P = 0.195; AG + GG versus AA: OR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.91–1.07, P = 0.739; GG versus AA + AG: OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.94–1.25, P = 0.745). Conclusion This meta-analysis has shown that there is a lack of association of the Fas rs180082 polymorphisms with cervical cancer susceptibility. However, larger scale primary studies with the consideration of gene–gene and gene–environment interactions are still required to further evaluate the interaction of Fas rs180082 polymorphism with cervical cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that specific human papillomavirus (HPV) types are the central etiologic agent of cervical carcinogenesis. However, a number of infected women do not develop invasive lesions, suggesting that other environmental and host factors may play decisive roles in the persistence of HPV infection and further malignant conversion of cervical epithelium. Although many previous reports have focused on HPV and environmental factors, the role of host susceptibility to cervical carcinogenesis is largely unknown. Here, we review the findings of genetic association studies in cervical carcinogenesis with special reference to polymorphisms of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) isoforms, p53 codon 72, murine double-minute 2 homolog (MDM2) gene promoter 309, and FAS gene promoter -670 together with HPV types including our recent research results.

Abstract
The clinical significance of glutathione-S-transferase GSTM1, GSTT1 and p53 codon 72 polymorphisms in cervical carcinogenesis was investigated. Germline polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1 and p53 codon 72 together with human papillomavirus (HPV) types were examined in a total of 457 blood and cervical smear samples from normal healthy women and the patients with premalignant and malignant cervical lesions. The 167 patients with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), 49 with high-grade SIL (HSIL) and 83 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) had significantly higher frequency of high-risk HPV than 158 controls. The 49 patients with HSIL and 83 with SCC had statistically higher frequency of null GSTT1 genotype than 158 controls. There was an increased odds ratio for null GSTT1 genotype in HSIL and SCC cases compared with controls among 191 patients with high-risk HPV. The 67 cases with HPV types 16 and/or 18 had higher frequency of the GSTT1 null genotype than 186 with other types of HPV. There was no statistical difference in the polymorphic frequency of GSTM1 and p53 codon 72 genotypes between SILs and controls with or without high-risk HPV. These results suggest that GSTT1 null genotype may increase the risk of cervical cancer particularly in the cases with high-risk HPV types in a Japanese population.

Abstract
A functional T to G germline polymorphism in the promoter region of murine double-minute 2 homolog single nucleotide polymorphism 309 (MDM2-SNP309) has been reported to profoundly accelerate tumor formation, suggesting that it may also represent a powerful cancer predisposing allele. In this study, MDM2-SNP309 was examined in a total of 400 blood samples from 108 normal, 88 cervical, 119 endometrial and 85 ovarian cancer cases using two independent polymerase chain reaction assays for each allele. When the MDM2-SNP309 genotype was classified into two subgroups of TT+TG and GG, the GG genotype was associated with an increased risk for the development of endometrial cancer (odds ratio [OR]= 1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05 to 3.47) compared with the TT+TG genotype (P = 0.0353). The G allele also increased the risk of endometrial cancer (OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 0.83 to 1.74) compared with the T allele, but no statistical difference was found (P = 0.3333). The homozygous GG genotype was also associated with postmenopausal status and type I endometrial cancer (P = 0.0306 and 0.0326, respectively). There was no significant difference in the genotype or allele prevalence between control subjects and cervical or ovarian cancer patients. These results suggest that homozygous GG genotype of MDM2-SNP309 may be a risk factor for postmenopausal and type I endometrial cancer in a Japanese population.

Abstract
The p53 tumour suppressor protein lies at the crossroads of multiple cellular response pathways that control the fate of the cell in response to endogenous or exogenous stresses and inactivation of the p53 tumour suppressor signalling pathway is seen in most human cancers. Such aberrant p53 activity may be caused by mutations in the TP53 gene sequence producing truncated or inactive mutant proteins, or by aberrant production of other proteins that regulate p53 activity, such as gene amplification and overexpression of MDM2 or viral proteins that inhibit or degrade p53. Recent studies have also suggested that inherited genetic polymorphisms in the p53 pathway influence tumour formation, progression and/or response to therapy. In some cases, these variants are clearly associated with clinico-pathological variables or prognosis of cancer, whereas in other cases the evidence is less conclusive. Here, we review the evidence that common polymorphisms in various aspects of p53 biology have important consequences for overall tumour susceptibility, clinico-pathology and prognosis. We also suggest reasons for some of the reported discrepancies in the effects of common polymorphisms on tumourigenesis, which relate to the complexity of effects on tumour formation in combination with other oncogenic changes and other polymorphisms. It is likely that future studies of combinations of polymorphisms in the p53 pathway will be useful for predicting tumour susceptibility in the human population and may serve as predictive biomarkers of tumour response to standard therapies.

Abstract
The multifactorial process of carcinogenesis involves mutations in oncogenes, or tumor suppressor genes, as well as the influence of environmental etiological factors. Common DNA polymorphisms in low penetrance genes have emerged as genetic factors that seem to modulate an individual's susceptibility to malignancy. Genetic studies, which lead to a true association, are expected to increase understanding of the pathogenesis of each malignancy and to be a powerful tool for prevention and prognosis in the future. Here, we review the findings of genetic association studies of gene polymorphisms in gynecologic cancer with special reference to glutathione-S-transferase, FAS/CD95 and p53 genes including our recent research results.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective is to investigate whether polymorphisms with putative influence on fluorouracil/oxaliplatin activity are associated with clinical outcomes of patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with first-line oxaliplatin, folinic acid, and fluorouracil palliative chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients were prospectively enrolled onto medical oncology units in Central Italy. Patients were required to have cytologically/histologically confirmed metastatic disease with at least one measurable lesion. Peripheral blood samples were used for genotyping 12 polymorphisms in thymidylate synthase, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD), excision repair cross complementing group 1 (ERCC1), x-ray cross complementing group 1, x-ray cross complementing protein 3, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) genes. The primary end point of the study was to investigate the association between genotypes and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS In 166 patients, ERCC1-118 T/T, XPD-751 A/C, and XPD-751 C/C genotypes were independently associated with adverse PFS. The presence of two risk genotypes (ERCC1-118 T/T combined with either XPD-751 A/C or XPD-751 C/C) occurred in 50 patients (31%). This profiling showed an independent role for unfavorable PFS with a hazard ratio of 2.84% and 95% CI of 1.47 to 5.45 (P = .002). Neurotoxicity was significantly associated with GSTP1-105 A/G. Carriers of the GSTP1-105 G/G genotype were more prone to suffer from grade 3 neurotoxicity than carriers of GSTP1-105 A/G and GSTP1-105 A/A genotypes. CONCLUSION A pharmacogenetic approach may be an innovative strategy for optimizing palliative chemotherapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. These findings deserve confirmation in additional prospective studies.

Abstract
Continuous identification of common polymorphisms in various genes helps us to understand the possible association between endometrial cancer risk and the germline polymorphism. Estrogen receptor genes and the group of genes associated with the metabolism of estrogen have been investigated well. Second, the polymorphism in the p53 gene and the genes involved in its downstream pathway were correlated to a risk of developing endometrial cancer. Finally, the polymorphism in the genes involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation, regulating cell cycles, and DNA-damage repair were studied. In this way, recent research has begun to identify common genetic polymorphisms that augment the effects of risk-factor exposure, such as genes that affect the metabolism of hormones or are involved in cellular anti-tumor activities. The accumulation of data through these approaches would make genetic testing for the risk of development of endometrial cancer possible in the near future.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether polymorphisms with putative influence on fluorouracil/cisplatin activity are associated with clinical outcomes of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Peripheral blood samples from 175 prospectively enrolled AGC patients treated with fluorouracil/cisplatin palliative chemotherapy were used for genotyping 13 polymorphisms in nine genes (TS, MTHFR, XPD, ERCC1, XRCC1, XRCC3, GSTPI, GSTTI, GSTMI). Genotypes were correlated to response and survival. RESULTS The overall response rate was 41%, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 24 weeks (range, 4 to 50 weeks), and the median overall survival (OS) was 39 weeks (range, 8 to 72+ weeks). Chemoresistance and poor survival were significantly associated with TS 5'-UTR 3G-genotype (2R/3G, 3C/3G, 3G/3G) and GSTP1 105 A/A homozygous genotype. Sixty-one patients (35%) did not show any of these risk genotypes (group 0), 57 patients (32.5%) showed one of the two risk genotypes (group 1), and 57 patients (32.5%) showed both risk genotypes (group 2). Median PFS and OS in group 0 patients were 32 weeks (range, 8 to 50 weeks) and 49 weeks (range, 18 to 72+ weeks), respectively. Group 1 and group 2 patients showed significantly worse PFS (median, 26 weeks [range, 6 to 44 weeks] and 14 weeks [range, 4 to 38 weeks], respectively) and worse OS (median, 39 weeks [range, 10 to 58 weeks] and 28 weeks [range, 8 to 56 weeks]), respectively, than group 0 patients. This adverse effect was retained in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Specific polymorphisms may influence clinical outcomes of AGC patients. Selecting palliative chemotherapy on the basis of pretreatment genotyping may represent an innovative strategy that warrants prospective studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the biological significance of single nucleotide polymorphism at codon 72 of the p53 gene in the development of gynecological cancer. METHODS p53 codon 72 polymorphism was examined in a total of 354 blood samples from 95 normal, 83 cervical, 108 endometrial and 68 ovarian cancer cases using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. RESULTS When p53 codon 72 genotype was classified into two subgroups of Arg/Arg and Arg/Pro + Pro/Pro, the Arg/Arg genotype was associated with an increased risk for the development of endometrial cancer (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.06 to 3.26) compared with the Arg/Pro + Pro/Pro genotype (P = 0.0301). The Arg allele also increased the risk of endometrial cancer (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 0.93 to 1.52) compared with the Pro allele, but no statistical difference was found (P = 0.1031). There was no significant difference in the genotype or allele prevalence between control subjects and cervical or ovarian cancer patients. CONCLUSION Homozygous Arg at codon 72 of the p53 gene may be a risk factor for developing endometrial cancer in a Japanese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical significance of glutathione-S-transferase GSTM1, GSTT1 and p53 codon 72 polymorphisms in cervical carcinogenesis. METHODS GSTM1, GSTT1 and p53 codon 72 polymorphisms together with human papillomavirus (HPV) types were examined in a total of 198 cervical smear samples using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) techniques. RESULTS Forty-two patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) had higher frequency of high-risk HPV and null GSTT1 genotype than 102 with low-grade SIL (LSIL) and 54 controls. Thirty-one patients with HSIL had also statistically higher frequency of null GSTT1 genotype than 28 with LSIL among 69 patients with high-risk HPV. There was no statistical difference in p53 Arg, Arg/Pro and Pro genotypes between SILs and controls with or without high-risk HPV. CONCLUSION GSTT1 null genotype in cervical cell samples may be associated with more severe precancerous lesions of the cervix in a Japanese population. The p53 codon 72 polymorphism is unlikely to be related to HPV status and the onset of cervical cancer.
