Abstract
Background GSTM1 deletion was reported to be associated with CKD progression in cohort studies. However, the results of case‒control studies were conflicting. The association between GST genes and CKD progression needs to be studied in China. Therefore, we conducted this case‒control study and systematic review for Southwest China to outline the association between GST genes and CKD. Methods CKD patients and healthy controls were enrolled from June 1, 2022 to 1 August 2022. Reported case‒control studies were identified by searching databases until 1 September 2022 for meta-analysis. Results Significant associations were found between deletions of GSTM1 and GSTT1 and CKD risk (all P < 0.01) but not in GSTP1 rs1695 (all P > 0.05) in Southwest China. Then, we conducted a meta-analysis on 30 studies and found positive associations between deletions of GSTM1 and GSTT1 and CKD risk (all P < 0.01) but failed to find associations in GSTP1 rs1695 (all P > 0.05). Stratification analysis for ethnicity only showed a significant association in Southern Asia (P < 0.05) but not in Eastern Asia or other populations. This was different from our case‒control results. The current evidence was influenced by study quality and PCR method but not by control selection. Given the different stages of CKD patients, a subanalysis of disease stages was performed, and the results remained positive. Interestingly, we found no significant associations between DM-CKD and GST genes, which should be interpreted with caution. Conclusion We found that GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes were risk factors for CKD in China. The results of the meta-analysis were somewhat different from our results. We considered that antioxidant therapy might be useful for the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
Over 20 years after the introduction of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, CKD remains a major public health burden with limited therapeutic options to halt or slow kidney disease progression at all ages. The consensus is that oxidative stress contributes to CKD development and progression. Yet, to date, there is no clear evidence that broad use of antioxidant therapy provides a beneficial effect in CKD. Understanding the specific pathophysiologic mechanisms in those who are genetically most susceptible to oxidative stress is a crucial step to inform therapy in an individualized medicine approach, considering differing exposures and risks across the life span. Glutathione-S-transferase μ 1 (GSTM1) is a phase 2 enzyme involved in inactivation of reactive oxygen species and metabolism of xenobiotics. In particular, those with the highly prevalent GSTM1 null genotype (GSTM1[0/0]) may be more susceptible to kidney disease progression, due to impaired capacity to handle the increased oxidative stress burden in disease states, and might specifically benefit from therapy that targets the redox imbalance mediated by loss of the GSTM1 enzyme. In this review, we will discuss the studies implicating the role of GSTM1 deficiency in kidney and related diseases from experimental rodent models to humans, from the prenatal period through senescence, and the potential underlying mechanism.

Abstract
In the United States, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in adults is ≈14%. The mainstay of therapy for chronic kidney disease is angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, but many patients with chronic kidney disease still progress to end-stage kidney disease. Increased oxidative stress is a major molecular underpinning of chronic kidney disease progression. In humans, a common deletion variant of the glutathione-S-transferase μ-1 (GSTM1) gene, the GSTM1 null allele (GSTM1(0)), results in decreased GSTM1 enzymatic activity and is associated with higher levels of oxidative stress. GSTM1 belongs to the superfamily of GSTs that are phase II antioxidant enzymes and are regulated by Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2). Cruciferous vegetables in general, and broccoli in particular, are rich in glucoraphanin, a precursor of sulforaphane that has been shown to have protective effects against oxidative damage through the activation of Nrf2. This review will highlight recent human and animal studies implicating the role of GSTM1 deficiency in hypertension and kidney disease, and its impact on the effects of cruciferous vegetables on kidney injury and disease progression, illustrating the significance of gene and environment interaction and a potential for targeted precision medicine in the treatment of kidney disease.
