[PMID: 37641062 PMCID: PMC10464061 DOI: 10.1186/s13008-023-00095-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The SNP rs671 of Human aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is G-A transition at 1510th nucleotides, which is an important clinical indicator of alcoholic liver disease, digestive tract cancer and some drug efficiency. The commonly used genotyping assay of this polymorphism is relatively time-consuming and costly. FINDING This study develops a rapid and accurate one-step CRISPR/Cas12b assay to distinguish the G1510A polymorphism of human ALDH2 free of DNA amplification. The method we established requires only one step of adding 1 μl genomic DNA sample to premixed system, and waiting for the acquisition of fluorescent signal, taking approximate 30 min. CONCLUSIONS This method provides a potential tool for more accurate and reliable nucleic acid detection with a single base difference and supports the relevant disease diagnosis and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Alcohol consumption is the key risk factor for the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and acetaldehyde, a metabolite of alcohol, is an alcohol-derived major carcinogen that causes DNA damage. Aldehyde dehydrogenase2 (ALDH2) is an enzyme that detoxifies acetaldehyde, and its activity is reduced by ALDH2 gene polymorphism. Reduction in ALDH2 activity increases blood, salivary and breath acetaldehyde levels after alcohol intake, and it is deeply associated with the development of ESCC. Heavy alcohol consumption in individuals with ALDH2 gene polymorphism significantly elevates the risk of ESCC; however, effective prevention has not been established yet. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of Alda-1, a small molecule ALDH2 activator, on alcohol-mediated esophageal DNA damage. Here, we generated novel genetically engineered knock-in mice that express the human ALDH2*1 (wild-type allele) or ALDH2*2 gene (mutant allele). Those mice were crossed, and human ALDH2*1/*1, ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 knock-in mice were established. They were given 10% ethanol for 7 days in the presence or absence of Alda-1, and we measured the levels of esophageal DNA damage, represented by DNA adduct (N2-ethylidene-2′-deoxyguanosine). Alda-1 significantly increased hepatic ALDH2 activity both in human ALDH2*1/*2 and/or ALDH2*2/*2 knock-in mice and reduced esophageal DNA damage levels after alcohol drinking. Conversely, cyanamide, an ALDH2-inhibitor, significantly exacerbated esophageal DNA adduct level in C57BL/6N mice induced by alcohol drinking. These results indicate the protective effects of ALDH2 activation by Alda-1 on esophageal DNA damage levels in individuals with ALDH2 gene polymorphism, providing a new insight into acetaldehyde-mediated esophageal carcinogenesis and prevention.

Abstract
DNA extraction and purification have been generally considered to be required for PCR assay. We demonstrated a new protocol using biological specimens directly as templates for real-time PCR with melting curve analysis. We confirmed the melting curve analysis was particularly suitable for the identification of the insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene. The new protocol we developed can be set up using simple and complete PCR analysis including data interpretation in under four hours with additional advantages of application for large-scale clinical research, diagnostics, and epidemiological studies at low cost.

Abstract
A new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) genotyping method has been developed and validated using biological specimens directly as templates for TaqMan PCR without general DNA extraction and purification procedure from dried saliva samples attached on water-soluble papers. This new method can set up at ease and complete PCR analysis including data interpretation in under two hours with additional advantages of application for large-scale clinical research, diagnostics, and epidemiological studies at low cost. Specifically, SNP genotyping of alcohol metabolism-related genes ADH1B (rs1229984) and ALDH2 (rs671) were demonstrated by TaqMan PCR assay using dried saliva samples in the present investigation. In this protocol, by simplifying experimental operations and improving efficiency, omitting and simplifying the time and laborious DNA purification process, it is possible to shorten the experiment time and reduce the risk of human error such as contamination. Furthermore it became possible with great cost reduction. We succeeded in dramatically improving the judgment rate and accuracy of SNP genotyping by the master mix reagent for commercial available real-time TaqMan PCR. Moreover, it becomes possible to stably introduce template DNA into the reaction system, and it will be possible to apply it to copy number variation (CNV) by TaqMan probe method. The SNP analysis process using this optimized water-soluble paper will be applied to gene polymorphism analysis of drug metabolizing enzyme gene CYP, etc., to help efforts to realize personalized medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify associations between ALDH2 and ADH1B genotypes and ethanol-induced cutaneous erythema and assess the accuracy of an ethanol patch test in young Japanese women. METHODS The subjects were 942 female Japanese university students. They were given an ethanol patch test and examined for ethanol-induced cutaneous erythema both immediately after removing the patch and 10 minutes after removing the patch. A saliva sample was used to determine the ALDH2 and ADH1B genotype of each subject by realtime PCR. RESULTS The sensitivity and specificity of erythema immediately after removing the patch as the marker for the presence of inactive ALDH2 were 69.6% and 87.7%, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of erythema 10 minutes after removing the patch were 85.2% and 85.1%, respectively. The sensitivity of erythema after 10 minutes was markedly lower in the ADH1B*1/*1 carriers than in the ADH1B*2 carriers (8.3% vs. 89.7%, p<0.0001), and the specificity was significantly higher in the ADH1B*1/*1 carriers than in the ADH1B*2 carriers (96.9% vs. 84.3%, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Overall, both sensitivity and specificity were satisfactorily high, but having the ADH1B*1/*1 genotype prevented a positive reaction for inactive ALDH2 and caused false-negative results. The data also suggested that having the ADH1B*2/*2 genotype caused a positive reaction in subjects with the ALDH2*1/*1 genotype. Despite these exceptions, the ethanol patch test has enough accuracy and can be used easily to subjects who don't drink alcohol. This is a valuable tool for improving the health literacy of younger generation subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Many East Asians have the genetic polymorphisms rs1229984 in alcohol dehydrogenase 1B (ADH1B) and rs671 in aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2). Here we analyzed the relationships of the two genotypes with alcohol sensitivity, drinking behavior and problem drinking among older and younger men living in rural areas of Japan. METHODS The subjects were 718 Japanese men aged 63.3 ± 10.8 (mean ± SD), categorized into the older (≥65 years, n = 357) and younger (<65 years, n = 361) groups. Facial flushing frequency, drinking behavior and positive CAGE results were compared among the genotypes using Bonferroni-corrected χ(2) test and a multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, BMI and lifestyle factors. RESULTS The frequency of 'always' facial flushing among the ADH1B*1/*2 carriers was significantly lower than that among the ADH1B*2/*2 carriers in the older group (P < 0.01). The alcohol consumption (unit/day) in the ADH1B*1/*2 carriers tended to be higher compared with that in the ADH1B*2/*2 carriers among the older group (P = 0.050). In the younger group, no significant differences in alcohol sensitivity and drinking habits were generally found among the ADH1B genotypes. The ADH1B*1/*1 genotype tended to be positively associated with problem drinking in the older group (P = 0.080) but not in the younger group. The ALDH2 genotypes consistently and strongly affected the alcohol sensitivity, drinking behavior and problem drinking in both the younger and older group. CONCLUSIONS We for the first time observed a significant difference in alcohol sensitivity between ADH1B*1/*2 and ADH1B*2/*2 in older men aged 65 and above.

Abstract
We have developed a new method for directly using unprocessed biological specimens as templates for the TaqMan assay. DNA extraction and purification had been believed to be required for the assay, but our new method could avoid hindering fluorescence detection, even if the templates were used directly. Saliva was needed to be put on water-soluble paper and dried, and hairs were cut to be about 10 mm long. This method could reduce both the time and effort involved, and also the risk of contamination. It should prove to be very valuable for genetic diagnoses in various fields.

We developed a time- and cost-effective multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) method based on the two-step PCR thermal cycles for genotyping single-nucleotide polymorphisms in three alcoholism-related genes: alcohol dehydrogenase 1B, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 and μ-opioid receptor. Applying MightyAmp(®) DNA polymerase with optimized AS-primers and PCR conditions enabled us to achieve effective and selective amplification of the target alleles from alkaline lysates of a human hair root, and simultaneously to determine the genotypes within less than 1.5 h using minimal lab equipment.

Abstract
In the post-genome era, a simple and inexpensive method for diagnostic analysis is in high demand. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 is one of the most widely investigated CYPs in relation to genetic polymorphism. Detection of CYP2D6*5 is difficult since long PCR is used. Especially for samples without DNA extraction, the detection is not sensitive enough for population analysis. Therefore, we developed a CYP2D6*5 genotyping method that involves nested long PCR, directly using human whole saliva as a template without DNA extraction. This method will be very useful for genetic diagnoses and can be an efficient tool for individualization of drug therapy in clinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetaldehyde associated with alcoholic beverages was recently classified as carcinogenic (Group 1) to humans based on uniform epidemiological and biochemical evidence. ALDH2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2) deficient alcohol consumers are exposed to high concentrations of salivary acetaldehyde and have an increased risk of upper digestive tract cancer. However, this interaction is not seen among ALDH2 deficient non-drinkers or rare drinkers, regardless of their smoking status or consumption of edibles containing ethanol or acetaldehyde. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of the ALDH2 genotype on the exposure to locally formed acetaldehyde via the saliva without ethanol ingestion. METHODS The ALDH2 genotypes of 17 subjects were determined by PCR-RFLP. The subjects rinsed out their mouths with 5 ml of 40 vol% alcohol for 5 seconds. Salivary ethanol and acetaldehyde levels were measured by gas chromatography. RESULTS Acetaldehyde reached mutagenic levels rapidly and the exposure continued for up to 20 minutes. The mean salivary acetaldehyde concentrations did not differ between ALDH2 genotypes. CONCLUSIONS For ALDH2 deficient subjects, an elevated exposure to endogenously formed acetaldehyde requires the presence of ethanol in the systemic circulation. IMPACT Our findings provide a logical explanation for how there is an increased incidence of upper digestive tract cancers among ALDH2 deficient alcohol drinkers, but not among those ALDH2 deficient subjects who are locally exposed to acetaldehyde without bloodborne ethanol being delivered to the saliva. Thus, ALDH2 deficient alcohol drinkers provide a human model for increased local exposure to acetaldehyde derived from the salivary glands.
