[PMID: 38797798 DOI: 10.1007/s10528-024-10823-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The genetic alteration in the antioxidant gene Glutathione-S-Transferases Pi 1 (GSTP1) namely GSTP1*IIe105Val (rs1695) and GSTP1*Ala114Val (rs1138272) changes the individual susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by altering the substrate binding and catalytic activity. This study aims to investigate the association of GSTP1 rs1695 and rs1138272 polymorphism with CVD development in T2DM patients. Genotyping was performed with 400 study participants-group I: control; group II: T2DM; group III: CVD; and group IV: T2DM/CVD [n = 100 each] by PCR-RFLP. The rs1695 and rs1138272 polymorphism were docked against NPACT and NUBBE database and virtually screened using glide. The study reported that rs1695 polymorphism was associated with T2DM risk under dominant and allelic genetic models [OR = 1.97(1.08-3.59) p = 0.02 and OR = 1.79(1.20-2.66) p = 0.003, respectively]. The val/val genotype, dominant, recessive model, and T allelic genetic model were associated with increased CVD risk [OR = 4.15(1.97-8.73) p = < 0.01; OR = 3.16(1.65-6.04) p = < 0.01; OR = 3.47(1.91-6.31) p = < 0.01; and OR = 2.94(1.95-4.43) p = < 0.01, respectively]. In contrast, rs1695 polymorphism was not associated with CVD development among patients with T2DM. In rs1138272, the wild genotype was only detected and neither heterozygous nor val/val genotype was observed. The docking analysis revealed that the Ile105Val mutation plays a significant role in altering the GSTP1 capacity compared to the Ala115Val mutation. This suggests that the Ile105Val mutation has a greater impact on the protein's structure, function, or susceptibility to diseases compared to the Ala115Val mutation. In summary, genetic alteration in GSTP1 rs1695 potentially contributes to an increased risk of T2DM and CVD.

[PMID: 35238908 PMCID: PMC9234762 DOI: 10.1093/carcin/bgac027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is detected in approximately 15% of colorectal cancers (CRCs). WD40 and tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (WDTC1) is frequently mutated in MSI CRC, indicating that it may contribute to CRC development. However, the functional evidence of the role of WDTC1 in CRC development remains unknown. Herein, we conducted in vitro assays to examine the function of WDTC1 using knockdown experiments in three CRC cell lines, SW480, CACO2, and LoVo. We provided strong evidence that silencing WDTC1 significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion consistently in all three CRC cell lines. To evaluate the potential role of WDTC1 in regulating CRC-related genes, we conducted RNA sequencing after 24 and 48 h in SW480 cells after treating WDTC1-siRNA and its vehicle control cells. Differential gene expression analysis identified 44 (42 downregulated and 2 upregulated) and 16 (all downregulated) genes, at time points of 24 and 48 h, respectively, whereas 15 downregulated genes were commonly detected at both time points. The ingenuity pathways analysis suggested that the most significant enrichments associated with cancer function and upstream regulator ATM/ATR were observed for these commonly observed genes. We further verified differential gene expression of eight cancer-related genes, ARHGEF12, GSTP1, FNDC3A, TMTC3, RTN4, RRM2, UHMK1, and PTPRF, using RT-PCR in all three cell lines. Our findings provided additional insight into the oncogenic role of WDTC1 in CRC development.

Ściskalska M, Milnerowicz H. Activity of glutathione S-transferase and its π isoenzyme in the context of single nucleotide polymorphism in the GSTP1 gene (rs1695) and tobacco smoke exposure in the patients with acute pancreatitis and healthy subjects. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 140:111589. [PMID: 34130200 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress associated with the course of acute pancreatitis (AP) can cause changes in the involvement of antioxidants, which can result in the increased production of free radicals with pro-inflammatory potential. Through its noncatalytic activity, the glutathione S-transferase and its π isoenzyme (GST-π), apart from cellular xenobiotics detoxification, are involved in the regulation of cellular signalling, metabolism and apoptosis. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of SNP rs1695 in the GSTP1 gene on GST and GST-π activity in healthy subjects and patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). The concentration of glutathione (GSH) as an important component of the antioxidant system, necessary for environmental xenobiotics detoxification by GST, and malonyldialdehyde (MDA) as a marker of oxidative stress induced by inflammation were also assessed. SNP was examined in 39 AP patients and 51 healthy subjects using PCR-RFLP methods. GST activity (in plasma and erythrocyte lysate) and GST-π activity (in erythrocyte lysate) were measured using the spectrophotometric method with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and ethacrynic acid as substrate, respectively. Blood GSH concentration was measured using the Patterson method. Concentrations of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and MDA were measured using commercial tests. In the blood of non-smoking AP patients with GG genotypes for SNP rs1695 in the GSTP1 gene, the lowest GST-π activity was shown. It was accompanied by the lowest hsCRP concentration in this group. In the blood of smoking healthy subjects with AG genotype, a decrease in GST-π activity was noted compared to non-smokers from this group. However, in the blood of smokers with AP, a gradually decreasing GST-π activity was noted in individuals with AA genotype, which was associated with the increasing MDA concentration. It confirms the role of GST-π in the neutralization of oxidative stress induced by the exposure to smoke xenobiotics.

The Association of Polymorphisms in Nrf2 and Genes Involved in Redox Homeostasis in the Development and Progression of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:6617969. [PMID: 33953831 PMCID: PMC8068539 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6617969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Deleterious effects of SNPs found in genes encoding transcriptional factors, as well as antioxidant and detoxification enzymes, are disputable; however, their functional significance seems to modify the risk for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) development and progression. We investigated the effect of specific Nrf2, SOD2, GPX1 gene variants and GSTP1ABCD haplotype on ccRCC risk and prognosis and evaluated the association between GSTP1 and regulatory (JNK1/2) and executor (caspase-3) apoptotic molecule expression in ccRCC tissue samples and the presence of GSTP1 : JNK1/2 protein : protein interactions. Genotyping was performed in 223 ccRCC patients and 336 matched controls by PCR-CTTP and qPCR. Protein expression was analyzed using immunoblot, while the existence of GSTP1 : JNK1 protein : protein interactions was investigated by immunoprecipitation experiments. An increased risk of ccRCC development was found among carriers of variant genotypes of both SOD2 rs4880 and GSTP1 rs1695 polymorphisms. Nrf2 rs6721961 genetic polymorphism in combination with both rs4880 and rs1695 showed higher ccRCC risk as well. Haplotype analysis revealed significant risk of ccRCC development in carriers of the GSTP1C haplotype. Furthermore, GSTP1 variant forms seem to affect the overall survival in ccRCC patients, and the proposed molecular mechanism underlying the GSTP1 prognostic role might be the presence of GSTP1 : JNK1/2 protein : protein interactions.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the major causes of cancer-related mortalities globally. Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), as epigenetic molecules, contribute to malignant tumor incidences and development, including HCC. Although LncRNA SNHG9 is considered an oncogene in many cancers, the biological function and molecular mechanism of SNHG9 in HCC are still unclear. We investigated the effects of lncRNA SNHG9 on the methylation of glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) and the progression of HCC. Histological data analysis, CRISPR-dCas9, and cytological function experiment were used to study the expression level and biological function of SNHG9 in HCC. There was an upregulated expression of SNHG9 in HCC, which was associated with shorter disease-free survival. Knockdown of SNHG9 can inhibit cell proliferation, block cell cycle progression, and inhibit cell migration and invasion by upregulating GSTP1. LncRNA SNHG9 recruits methylated enzymes (DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B) to increase GSTP1 promoter methylation, a common event in the development of HCC. Inhibition of lncRNA SNHG9 demethylates GSTP1, which prevents HCC progression, presents a promising therapeutic approach for HCC patients.

Abstract
Given the reports made about geographical differences in Colorectal Cancer (CRC) occurrence, suggesting a link between dietary habits, genes and cancer risk, we hypothesise that there are four fundamental metabolic pathways involved in diet-genes interactions, directly implicated in colorectal carcinogenesis: folate metabolism; lipid metabolism; oxidative stress response; and inflammatory response. Supporting this hypothesis are the evidence given by the significant associations between several diet-genes polymorphisms and CRC, namely: MTHFR, MTR, MTRR and TS (involved in folate metabolism); NPY, APOA1, APOB, APOC3, APOE, CETP, LPL and PON1 (involved in lipid metabolism); MNSOD, SOD3, CAT, GSTP1, GSTT1 and GSTM1 (involved in oxidative stress response); and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and TGF-β (involved in inflammatory response). We also highlight the association between some foods/nutrients/nutraceuticals that are important in CRC prevention or treatment and the four metabolic pathways proposed, and the recent results of genome-wide association studies, both assisting our hypothesis. Finally, we propose a new line of investigation with larger studies, using accurate dietary biomarkers and investigating the four metabolic pathways genes simultaneously. This line of investigation will be essential to understand the full complexity of the association between nature and nurture in CRC and perhaps in other types of cancers. Only with this in-depth knowledge will it be possible to make personalised nutrition recommendations for disease prevention and management.

GSTP1 rs1138272 Polymorphism Affects Prostate Cancer Risk. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56030128.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: One of the most frequent genetic alterations reported to date in prostate cancer (PC) is aberrant methylation of glutathione transferase P1 (GSTP1). Taking into consideration the involvement of oxidative stress in PC pathogenesis and recent advances in scientific understanding of the role of GSTP1*Ala114Val rs1138272 polymorphism in carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that this single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) influences the risk of PC independently of, or in combination with, other GST polymorphisms, including GSTP1*IIe105Val rs1695 or GSTM1 and GSTT1 deletion polymorphisms. Materials and Methods: Genotyping was performed in 237 PC cases and in 236 age-matched controls by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for deletion of GST polymorphisms and by quantitative PCR for SNPs. Results: We found that carriers of either GSTP1*Val (rs1138272) or GSTP1*Val (rs1695) variant alleles had a PC risk compared to individuals with both referent alleles (OR = 4.93, 95%CI: 2.89–8.40, p < 0.001 and OR = 1.8, 95%CI: 1.19–2.73, p = 0.006, respectively). Additionally, in a haplotype analysis we found that individuals with GSTP1*C haplotype, represented by both variant alleles (GSTP1*Val rs1695 + GSTP1*Val rs1138272), had a 5.46 times higher risk of PC development compared to individuals with the most frequent haplotype (95%CI = 2.56–11.65, p < 0.001), suggesting a potential role of those variants in PC susceptibility. A regression analysis on the number of risk-associated alleles per individual (GSTM1*active, GSTT1*null, GSTP1*Val rs1695 and GSTP1*Val rs1138272) showed a significant increase in the risk of developing PC, from 3.65-fold in carriers of two risk alleles (95%CI = 1.55–8.61, p = 0.003) to an approximately 12-fold increase in carriers of all four risk alleles (95%CI = 3.05–44.93, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Prostate cancer may be influenced by multiple glutathione transferase (GST) polymorphic genes, especially GSTP1, highlighting the role of gene–gene interactions in human susceptibility to this cancer.
