Abstract
Lung cancer, the leading cause of death worldwide, arises from an intricate combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic variations can influence the chemotherapeutic response of lung cancer patients in DNA repair genes. This study examines the response to platinum-based drugs among lung cancer patients of North Indian descent who possess genetic variations in the MGMT and ERCC1 genes. P CR-RFLP method was used for genotypic analysis. MedCalc statistical software was used to calculate odds ratios and Median Survival Time (MST). GROMACS software was used to perform Molecular dynamic simulation. ADCC Patients revealed a significant association with MGMT in the heterozygous genotype (HR= 1.56, p=0.02) and also with ERCC1 in both mutant and combined variants (HR= 1.25, p=0.01; HR=0.78, p=0.03). SQCC subjects harbouring ERCC1 polymorphism also reported a 2-fold increase in hazard ratio and a corresponding decrease in survival time for heterozygous and combined variants (HR= 2.55, p=0.02; HR 2.33, p=0.01, respectively). MD simulation results demonstrate a lower RMSD, stable radius of gyration, and lower RMSF, indicating the mutated MGMT protein is more stable than the wild. Further, the docking score for DNA-Wild and DNA-L84F mutants are -201.6 and -131.8, respectively. MD Simulation of the complexes further validated the results. Our study concludes that MGMT and ERCC1 polymorphisms are associated with decreased overall survival. Further, computational analysis of MGMT (rs12917) polymorphism revealed that mutated MGMT cannot bind properly to the DNA and hence cannot properly repair DNA, resulting in lower overall survival.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to carcinogenic and health risk assessment of respiratory exposure to acrylonitrile, 1,3-butadiene, and styrene in the petrochemical industry. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in a petrochemical plant producing acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene (ABS) copolymers. Respiratory exposure with acrylonitrile, 1,3-butadiene and styrene was measured using methods No. 1604, 1024, and 1501 of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, respectively. The US Environmental Protection Agency method was used to assess carcinogenic and health risks. RESULTS The average occupational exposure to acrylonitrile, 1,3-butadiene, and styrene was 560.82 μg. m-3 for 1,3-butadiene, 122.8 μg. m-3 for acrylonitrile and 1.92 μg. m-3 for styrene. The average lifetime cancer risk (LCR) in the present study was 2.71 ×10-3 for 1,3-butadiene, 2.1 ×10-3 for acrylonitrile, and 6.6 for styrene. Also, the mean non-cancer risk (HQ) among all participants for 1,3-butadiene, acrylonitrile, and styrene was 4.04 ± 6.93, 10.82 ± 14.76, and 0.19 ± 0.11, respectively. CONCLUSION The values of carcinogenic and health risks in the majority of the subjects were within the unacceptable risk levels due to exposure to 1,3-butadiene, acrylonitrile, and styrene vapors. Hence, corrective actions are required to protect the workers from non-cancer and cancer risks.

Abstract
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a petrochemical manufactured in high volumes. It is a human carcinogen and can induce lymphohematopoietic cancers, particularly leukemia, in occupationally-exposed workers. BD is an air pollutant with the major environmental sources being automobile exhaust and tobacco smoke. It is one of the major constituents and is considered the most carcinogenic compound in cigarette smoke. The BD concentrations in urban areas usually vary between 0.01 and 3.3 μg/m3 but can be significantly higher in some microenvironments. For BD exposure of the general population, microenvironments, particularly indoor microenvironments, are the primary determinant and environmental tobacco smoke is the main contributor. BD has high cancer risk and has been ranked the second or the third in the environmental pollutants monitored in most urban areas, with the cancer risks exceeding 10-5. Mutagenicity/carcinogenicity of BD is mediated by its genotoxic metabolites but the specific metabolite(s) responsible for the effects in humans have not been determined. BD can be bioactivated to yield three mutagenic epoxide metabolites by cytochrome P450 enzymes, or potentially be biotransformed into a mutagenic chlorohydrin by myeloperoxidase, a peroxidase almost specifically present in neutrophils and monocytes. Several urinary BD biomarkers have been developed, among which N-acetyl-S-(4-hydroxy-2-buten-1-yl)-L-cysteine is the most sensitive and is suitable for biomonitoring BD exposure in the general population. Exposure to BD has been associated with leukemia, cardiovascular disease, and possibly reproductive effects, and may be associated with several cancers, autism, and asthma in children. Collectively, BD is a ubiquitous pollutant that has been associated with a range of adverse health effects and diseases with children being a subpopulation with potentially greater susceptibility. Its adverse effects on human health may have been underestimated and more studies are needed.

Genes Environ 2021; 43:44. [PMID: 34627392 PMCID: PMC8501532 DOI: 10.1186/s41021-021-00217-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the role of folate metabolism in 1,3-Butadiene (BD)'s genotoxicity, we conducted a match-up study in BD-exposed workers in China to analyze the associations between the polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and the chromosomal damage induced by BD exposure, and culture-based experiments in TK-6 cells to examine the global DNA methylation levels and chromosomal damage when exposed both to BD's genotoxic metabolite, 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), and MTHFR's direct catalytic product, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). METHODS Cytokinesis block micronucleus assay (CBMN) was used to examine the chromosomal damage induced by BD or DEB. Poisson regression models were produced to quantify the relationship of chromosomal damage and genetic polymorphisms in the BD-exposed workers. Global DNA methylation levels in TK6 cells were examined using DNA Methylation Quantification Kit. RESULTS We found that BD-exposed workers carrying MTHFR C677T CC (2.00 ± 2.00‰) (FR = 0.36, 95%CI: 0.20-0.67, P < 0.01) or MTHFR C677T CT (2.87 ± 1.98‰) (FR = 0.49, 95%CI: 0.32-0.77, P < 0.01) genotypes had significantly lower nuclear bud (NBUD) frequencies than those carrying genotype MTHFR 677 TT (5.33 ± 2.60‰), respectively. The results in TK6 cells showed that there was a significant increment in frequencies of micronucleus (MN), nucleoplasmic bridge (NPB) and nuclear bud (NBUD) with exposure to DEB at each 5-MTHF dose (ANOVA, P < 0.01). Additionally, there was a significant decrease in frequencies of MN, NPB and NBUD in DEB-exposed cultures with increasing concentration of 5-MTHF (ANOVA, P < 0.05). The levels of global DNA methylation were significantly decreased by DEB treatment in a dose-dependent manner within each 5-MTHF concentration in TK-6 cells (ANOVA, P < 0.01), and were significantly increased by 5-MTHF supplementation within each DEB concentration (ANOVA, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION We reported that folate metabolism could modify the association between BD exposure and chromosomal damage, and such effect may be partially mediated by DNA hypomethylation, and 5-MTHF supplementation could rescue it.

The association between urinary levels of 1,3-butadiene metabolites, cardiovascular risk factors, microparticles, and oxidative stress products in adolescents and young adults. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 396:122745.

Abstract
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a synthetic colorless gas used in the production of synthetic rubber and polymers. Exposure to BD has been reported to increase oxidative stress and accelerate atherosclerosis in vitro and in animal studies. In occupational studies, BD exposure has been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, no previous research has been reported on whether BD exposure is associated with CVD risk factors and oxidative stress in the general population. We recruited 853 young participants to study the correlation between urinary levels of the BD metabolite, N-acetyl-S-(3,4-dihydroxybutyl)-L-cysteine (DHBMA), CVD risk factors, serum levels of endothelial microparticles and platelet microparticles, and the urinary levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). The results showed the DHBMA levels were positively correlated with low-density lipoprotein-C, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), CD31+/CD42a - counts (endothelial apoptosis markers), and urinary 8-OHdG levels. Moreover, DHBMA levels were negatively correlated with CD62 P counts (platelet activation marker). The correlation between DHBMA, CIMT, and 8-OHdG was more evident when the levels of CD31+/CD42a - or CD62 P were above 50%. In conclusion, we reported that the urinary levels of DHBMA were associated with the lipid profile, CIMT, microparticles, and marker of oxidative stress in this young population. Future studies on BD exposure and atherosclerosis are needed.

Chem Biol Interact 2019; 312:108797.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies of 1,3-butadiene (BD) exposures have reported a possible association with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), which is defined by the presence of the t(9;22) translocation (Philadelphia chromosome) creating an oncogenic BCR-ABL fusion gene. Butadiene diepoxide (DEB), the most mutagenic of three epoxides resulting from BD, forms DNA-DNA crosslink adducts that can lead to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Thus, a study was designed to determine if (±)-DEB exposure of HL60 cells, a promyelocytic leukemia cell line lacking the Philadelphia chromosome, can produce t(9;22) translocations. In HL60 cells exposed for 3 h to 0-10 μM DEB, overlapping dose-response curves suggested a direct relationship between 1,4-bis-(guan-7-yl)-2,3-butanediol crosslink adduct formation (R = 0.977, P = 0.03) and cytotoxicity (R = 0.961, P = 0.002). Experiments to define the relationships between cytotoxicity and the induction of micronuclei (MN), a dosimeter of DNA DSBs, showed that 24 h exposures of HL60 cells to 0-5.0 μM DEB caused significant positive correlations between the concentration and (i) the degree of cytotoxicity (R = 0.998, p = 0.002) and (ii) the frequency of MN (R = 0.984, p = 0.016) at 48 h post exposure. To determine the relative induction of MN and t(9;22) translocations following exposures to DEB, or x-rays as a positive control for formation of t(9;22) translocations, HL60 cells were exposed for 24 h to 0, 1, 2.5, or 5 μM DEB or to 0, 2.0, 3.5, or 5.0 Gy x-rays, or treatments demonstrated to yield 0, 20%, 50%, or 80% cytotoxicity. Treatments between 0 and 3.5 Gy x-rays caused significant dose-related increases in both MN (p < 0.001) and t(9;22) translocations (p = 0.01), whereas DEB exposures causing similar cytotoxicity levels did not increase translocations over background. These data indicate that, while DEB induces DNA DSBs required for formation of MN and translocations, acute DEB exposures of HL60 cells did not produce the Philadelphia chromosome obligatory for CML.
