[PMID: 33745084 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-021-05680-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2020] [Revised: 02/28/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency of glutathione S-transferase (GST), catalase, and SOD2 genetic polymorphisms and their correlation with SLE. METHODS A total of 290 females (patients = 151; controls= 139) were recruited. Multiplex PCR was performed for genotyping GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes, whereas real-time qPCR was used for determination of SNPs: CAT C262T, SOD2 C47T, GSTP1 A313G and GSTP1 IVS6 -C16T. RESULTS Thiol levels are decreased in SLE patients (p<0.001), while MDA levels were significantly higher (p<0.001) and those carrying the polymorphisms had higher rates of oxidative stress. Patients with double null deletion GSTT1null/GSTM1null had a frequency almost five times higher than the controls (p<0.001, OR 4.81, CI 1.98-12.11). SLE patients had a lower wild-type frequency of SOD2CC allele compared to controls (12.4% vs 27.3%). Statistical significances were observed on the association between the GSTT1null and GSTM1null with SOD2mut (p<0.001, OR 0.15, CI 0.05-0.47), with GSTP1 A303G (p=0.012, OR 0.19, CI 0.05-0.69), and with GSTP1 IVS6 (p=0.008, OR 0.14, CI 0.03-0.63). The same was observed between SOD2 C47T with GSTP1 A303G (p=0.09, OR 0.27, CI 0.09-0.74) and GSTP1 IVS6 (p=0.036, OR 0.41, CI 0.18-0.92). CONCLUSIONS The deletion GSTT1null/GSTM1null may contribute to the increased of the oxidative stress in SLE patients. Isolated GSTP1 and CAT polymorphisms do not seem to influence the increased oxidative stress, neither SLE clinical manifestations. SOD2 47CT/TT allele may have greater oxidative stress due to structural change in the protein and decreased H2O2 production. The combination of polymorphic genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. Key points • Major question of our paper: Many studies have shown that the antioxidant status levels are decreased in patients with SLE, especially in severe stages of disease. We believe that this paper will be of interest to the readership of your journal had the involvement of polymorphisms and mutations in several genes that contribute to the genetic etiology of SLE, suggesting that these may influence the mechanisms of disease. • Our results. Thiol level was significantly (p<.001) lower and MDA level significantly increased (p<.001) among SLE patients. Those carrying the polymorphisms had higher rates of oxidative stress. SLE Patients had a frequency almost five times higher of double null deletion GSTT1null/GSTM1null than the controls. SLE Patients had a lower wild type frequency of SOD2CC allele compared to controls (12.4% vs 27.3%). We believed the deletion GSTT1null/GSTM1null may contribute to the increased of the oxidative stress in SLE patients while carriers of the mutant SOD2 47CT/TT allele may have greater oxidative stress due to structural change in the protein and decreased H2O2 production. The combination of polymorphic genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. • Implications of our results: Evidence for the involvement of genetic factors in severe clinical to lupus is compelling. This manuscript shows genetic insights in pathogenic pathways that may lead to severe clinical implications to LES. Therefore, it is necessary to understand their impact on overall disease pathogenesis and prognosis in these patients. We understand from general consensus about environmental factors can modify disease, however, maybe just in individuals who have a permissive genetic background. Even that no single gene predisposes some individuals to LES, we believe the genetic factors described in this manuscript are important elements in susceptibility to severe clinical to LES.

The genotoxicity of an organic solvent mixture: A human biomonitoring study and translation of a real-scenario exposure to in vitro. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol 2020; 116:104726.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate occupational exposure to a styrene and xylene mixture through environmental exposure assessment and identify the potential genotoxic effects through biological monitoring. Secondly, we also exposed human peripheral blood cells in vitro to both xylene and styrene either alone or in mixture at concentrations found in occupational settings in order to understand their mechanism of action. The results obtained by air monitoring were below the occupational exposure limits for both substances. All biomarkers of effect, except for nucleoplasmic bridges, had higher mean values in workers (N = 17) compared to the corresponding controls (N = 17). There were statistically significant associations between exposed individuals and the presence of nuclear buds and oxidative damage. As for in vitro results, there was no significant influence on primary DNA damage in blood cells as evaluated by the comet assay. On the contrary, we did observe a significant increase of micronuclei and nuclear buds, but not nucleoplasmic bridges upon in vitro exposure. Taken together, both styrene and xylene have the potential to induce genomic instability either alone or in combination, showing higher effects when combined. The obtained data suggested that thresholds for individual chemicals might be insufficient for ensuring the protection of human health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in the biotransformation of xenobiotics. Variation in the enzyme concentration and activity suggests individual differences for the degree of protection against oxidative stress. AIM This study analysed the distribution of SNPs Q192R, L55M (PON1) and variants in GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes in a population from Southeastern Mexico. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty-one Mexican Mestizo healthy volunteers were included. PON1 polymorphisms were determined by Taqman allele discrimination real time-PCR, whereas GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were determined with a multiplex PCR-based method. RESULTS All genotypes were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, except for GSTM1. The genotypic distributions of Q192R and L55M were 22% QQ, 48% QR, 30% RR, 62% LL, 34% LM and 4% MM, respectively, whereas the allele frequencies were 0.46 (Q), 0.54 (R), 0.79 (L) and 0.21 (M). The most frequent haplotype was R/L (46.7%). It was found that 31% and 9% of the individuals had the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype, respectively. The frequency of the combined null genotype GSTM1*0/GSTT1*0 was 4.64%. CONCLUSION The results showed that the frequencies of polymorphisms of PON1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 in the Yucatán population differ to those observed in other ethnic groups and provide useful data for epidemiological studies.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: Determinar os efeitos que a mutação do gene cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) e da deleção dos genes glutationa S-transferase (GST) mu-1 (GSTM1) e teta-1 (GSTT1) têm na evolução clínica da fibrose cística (FC) em pacientes da região sudeste do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Entre março de 2002 e março de 2005, incluímos no estudo todos os pacientes com FC atendidos consecutivamente no Departamento de Pediatria do Hospital de Clínicas da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. O DNA genômico de 66 pacientes com FC foi analisado por PCR e digestão com endonuclease de restrição para a identificação dos genótipos. RESULTADOS: A mutação ΔF508 do gene CFTR foi identificada em 44 (66,7%) pacientes. As deleções dos genes GSTM1, GSTT1 e da combinação nula GSTM1/GSTT1 foram identificadas em 40,9%, 15,2% e 3,0% dos pacientes, respectivamente. A mutação ΔF508 do gene CFTR foi mais comum em pacientes diagnosticados com FC antes dos 2,5 anos de idade que naqueles diagnosticados mais tarde (75,5% vs. 41,2%; p = 0,008). CONCLUSÕES: Foram observadas frequências similares da mutação ΔF508 do gene CFTR e dos genótipos GSTM1 e GSTT1 nos pacientes, independentemente do sexo, etnia ou status da doença pulmonar ou pancreática. Quando os pacientes foram estratificados por aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos, as frequências dos genótipos GSTM1 e GSTT1 nulos foram semelhantes, sugerindo que a ausência herdada dessas vias enzimáticas não altera o curso da FC. Em contraste, a alta frequência da mutação ΔF508 no gene CFTR encontrada em pacientes mais jovens sugere que essa mutação influencia a idade no momento do diagnóstico de FC nessa região do país.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in genes responsible for maintaining genomic integrity are potential modifiers of disease risk. Since considerable interindividual and interethnic variation in DNA repair capacity has been associated with polymorphic alleles, we evaluated the frequency of the 2R/3R variants in the TS promoter, Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln in the XRCC1 gene, and Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln in the XPD gene in 364 healthy individuals from a Brazilian population separated by ethnicity (European ancestry and African ancestry). The genotypes were determined by PCR (TS) or by PCR-RFLP (XRCC1 and XPD). The frequency of the TS 3R allele was 0.56 for whites and 0.51 for nonwhites. In the case of the XRCC1 MspI polymorphism, the allele frequencies were 0.09 for 194Trp in both nonwhites and whites and 0.27 and 0.28 for 399Gln in nonwhites and whites, respectively. For the XPD 312Asn allele, we found a frequency of 0.25 in white individuals, which was significantly different (P = 0.025) from that seen in nonwhites (0.15). Similarly, the 751Gln polymorphic allele of the XPD gene was significantly more frequent (P < 0.002) in whites (0.30) than in nonwhites (0.20). The genotype frequencies were within Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. We concluded that the genotype and allele frequencies of XPD gene polymorphism differed between white and nonwhite Brazilians, and that the frequencies of the XPD 312Asn and XRCC1 399Gln alleles in this Brazilian population showed ethnic variability when compared with those observed in other populations.
