Abstract
Gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJAC) is a malignant tumor with high mortality. Its incidence has increased sharply all over the world in recent years. The study aims to search for potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of GEJAC based on the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO) database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.Microarray dataset (GSE96668 and GSE74553) of GEJAC was downloaded from the GEO. After screening overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by GEO2R and Wayne map, functional enrichment analysis of the DEGs was performed by the DAVID database. Then, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and the hub gene was identified by using STRING and Cytoscape, as well as the diagnostic value of hub genes was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Finally, the gene transcriptome profiles of gastric cancer named TCGA-STAD were downloaded from TCGA database to screen the potential prognostic genes and construct the prognostic risk model using Cox proportional hazards regression. Meanwhile, the Kaplan-Meier curve and time-dependent ROC curve were adopted to test the prognostic value of the prognostic gene signature.In this study, we identified 10 hub genes that might have high diagnostic value for GEJAC, and inferred that they might be involved in the occurrence and development of GEJAC. Moreover, we conducted a survival prediction model consisting of 6 genes and proved that they have value to some extent in predicting prognosis for GEJAC patients.

Abstract
Background Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of developing respiratory diseases and various types of cancer. Early identification of such unfavorable outcomes in patients who smoke is critical for optimizing personalized medical care. Methods Here, we perform a comprehensive analysis using Systems Biology tools of publicly available data from a total of 6 transcriptomic studies, which examined different specimens of lung tissue and/or cells of smokers and nonsmokers to identify potential markers associated with lung cancer. Results Expression level of 22 genes was capable of classifying smokers from non-smokers. A machine learning algorithm revealed that AKR1B10 was the most informative gene among the 22 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) accounting for the classification of the clinical groups. AKR1B10 expression was higher in smokers compared to non-smokers in datasets examining small and large airway epithelia, but not in the data from a study of sorted alveolar macrophages. Moreover, AKR1B10 expression was relatively higher in lung cancer specimens compared to matched healthy tissue obtained from nonsmoking individuals. Although the overall accuracy of AKR1B10 expression level in distinction between cancer and healthy lung tissue was 76%, with a specificity of 98%, our results indicated that such marker exhibited low sensitivity, hampering its use for cancer screening such specific setting. Conclusion The systematic analysis of transcriptomic studies performed here revealed a potential critical link between AKR1B10 expression, smoking and occurrence of lung cancer.

J Cancer 2018; 9:1506-1517. [PMID: 29721061 PMCID: PMC5929096 DOI: 10.7150/jca.22797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2017] [Accepted: 01/22/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to assess the interaction between smoking and nine genes (GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, CYP1A1, NAT2, SULT1A1, hOGG1, XRCC1 and p53) on colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer and oesophageal cancer. Published articles from the PubMed, ISI and EMBASE databases were retrieved. A total of 67 case-control studies or nested case-control studies were identified for the analysis. The pooled jodds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the random effect model. The overall study showed that the GSTM1 polymorphism was associated with the risk of the four digestive cancers among Asian population (OR 1.284, 95% CI: 1.122-1.470, p: 0). Subgroup analyses by cancer site showed that GSTM1 null genotype increased the gastric cancer risk in total population (OR 1.335, 95% CI: 1.145-1.556, p: 0). However, the association of GSTM1 null genotype with the oesophageal cancer risk was found in smokers (OR 1.382, 95% CI: 1.009-1.894, p:0.044), but not in non-smokers (OR 1.250, 95% CI: 0.826-1.891, p:0.290). Moreover, smokers with the CYP1A1 IIe462Val polymorphism were at an increased cancer risk in Asian population (OR=1.585, 95% CI 1.029-2.442, p: 0.037). None of the other gene-smoking interactions was observed in the above cancers. This meta-analysis reveals two potential gene-smoking interactions, one is between smoking and GSTM1 on oesophageal cancer, and the other is between smoking and CYP1A1 IIe462Val on the four cancers in Asian population. Future studies need to be conducted to verify the conclusions.

Abstract
Background A meta-analysis of published studies was performed in order to clarify the risk of gastric cancer associated with cigarette smoking status. Methods Eligible studies were all the case-control studies investigating an association between smoking status and gastric cancer published from January 1, 1997, until June 30, 2006. In order to evaluate the quality of the published data, a qualitative scoring of papers was applied. The principal outcome measure was the odds ratio for the risk of gastric cancer associated with the smoking status using a random effects model. Cigarette smoking status was assessed in two ways: ever (current and ex) versus never smokers; current versus never smokers. Results We found a statistically significant result for the association between ever smoking status and gastric cancer risk (OR = 1.48; 95% CI, 1.28–1.71), considering 14,442 cases and 73,918 controls. Moreover, we found an odds ratio of 1.69 for current smoker status in comparison to never smokers (95% CI, 1.35–2.11). Considering only high quality studies, the odds ratio increased by 43% for gastric cancer risk in ever smokers (OR = 1.43; 95% CI, 1.24–1.66; Q = 378.60, P <0.00001; I2 = 90%) and by 57% in current smokers (OR = 1.57; 95% CI, 1.24–2.01). We also considered separately Caucasians and Asian studies, finding for ever smokers an odds ratio of 1.46 (95% CI, 1.25–1.70; Q = 125.68, P <0.00001; I2 = 82.5%) and of 1.47 (95% CI, 1.13–1.91; Q = 366.77, P <0.00001; I2 = 94%), respectively. Conclusions From the results of this quantitative meta-analysis, it appears that cigarette smoking has to be considered an important risk factor. The use of qualitative scoring decreases the magnitude of the relationship both for ever and current smoker exposure by 5–12%. Future studies on this topic need to clarify the biological interaction between environmental factors (such as cigarette smoking) and different polymorphisms on gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and the sixth among women, except for non-melanoma skin tumors, in Brazil. Epidemiological evidences reveal the multifactorial etiology of this cancer, highlighting risk factors such as: infection by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, advanced age, smoking, chronic alcohol abuse, eating habits and genetic polymorphisms. Considering the context of genetic polymorphisms, there is the absence of the GSTM1 gene. The lack of GSTM1 function to detoxify xenobiotics and promote defense against oxidative stress leads to increased DNA damage, promoting gastric carcinogenesis. This process is multifactorial and the development of gastric cancer results from a complex interaction of these variables. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association of GSTM1 null polymorphism in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer. METHODS A meta-analysis was conducted from 70 articles collected in SciELO and PubMed databases, between September 2015 and July 2016. In order to evaluate a possible association, we used the odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval of 95% (CI 95%). To assess the heterogeneity of the studies was used the chi-square test. Statistical analysis was performed using the BioEstat® 5.3. RESULTS This study included 70 studies of case-control, including 28,549 individuals, which were assessed for the null polymorphism of the GSTM1 gene, and of which 11,208 (39.26%) were cases and 17,341 (60.74%) were controls. The final analysis showed that the presence of the GSTM1 gene acts as a protective factor against the development of gastric cancer (OR=0.788; 95%CI 0.725-0.857; P<0.0001). Positive statistical association was found in Asia (OR=0.736; 95%CI 0.670-0.809; P<0.0001) and Eurasia (OR=0.671; 95%CI 0.456-0.988; P=0.05). However, statistically significant data was not obtained in Europe (OR=1.033; 95%CI 0.873-1.222; P=0.705) and America (OR=0.866; 95%CI 0.549-1.364; P=0.534). Therefore, the results can not be deduced around the world. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis concluded that the presence of the GSTM1 gene is a protector for the emergence of gastric cancer, especially in Asian countries, but this result was not found in Europe and America.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have been investigated as potential carcinoma susceptible genes. However, the relationship between GSTs (GSTM1, GSTT1) variants and gastric carcinoma (GC) risk has been controversial in Chinese population. METHODS A comprehensive literature search strategy (PubMed, Chinese Biomedical Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan fang Database, etc.) was launched. Crude odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (95% CI) were applied to estimate the strength of the association. RESULTS Significant associations between GSTs genetic polymorphisms and GC were evidenced under random-effects model (OR GSTM1 =1.56, 95% CI: 1.39 to 1.76, I2=50.7%, P<0.0001; OR GSTT1 =1.24, 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.39, I2=43.6%, P=0.014; OR GSTM1-GSTT1 =1.51, 95% CI: 1.26 to 1.81, I2=59.7%, P=0.004). The pooled ORs were not qualitatively changed when any single study was omitted by sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION Our results indicated an increased GC risk in Chinese population with GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype and GSTM1-GSTT1 dual null genotype. Further multi-center studies are needed to investigate the gene-gene and gene-environment interactions on the susceptibility of GC.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 and glutathione S-transferases (GST) M1 and T1 are major enzymes in the carcinogen metabolizing pathway. We examined the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP1A1 (rs4646421, rs4646422 and rs1048943), GSTM1 and GSTT1 and gastric cancer risk in Japan. This is a nested case-control study (457 cases and 457 matched controls) of our population-based cohort involving 36,745 subjects who answered a baseline questionnaire and supplied blood samples. The odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using conditional logistic regression models. We found that CYP1A1 (rs4646422) variant allele was associated with a statistically significant increased risk of gastric cancer compared with the homozygous wild-type genotype (OR = 1.65; 95% CI = 1.17-2.32). GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null and GSTM1/T1 both or either null genotypes were associated with increased risk, but not statistically significantly. Combination of the CYP1A1 (rs4646422) variant allele and GSTM1/T1 both or either null genotypes was associated with a statistically significant increased risk compared with the combination of the CYP1A1 homozygous wild-type genotype and the GSTM1/T1 both active genotypes. In addition, compared with CYP1A1 (rs4646422) homozygous wild-type genotypes in those who were never-smokers, CYP1A1 variant alleles in those who smoked ≥30 pack-years were associated with an increased risk; neither gene-gene nor gene-environment interactions were significant. The CYP1A1 (rs4646422) polymorphism might be involved in gastric carcinogenesis among the Japanese population.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) is a phase I enzyme that regulates the metabolism of environmental carcinogens and alter the susceptibility to various cancers. Many studies have investigated the association between the CYP1A1 MspI and Ile462Val polymorphisms and digestive tract cancer (DTC) risk in different groups of populations, but their results were inconsistent. The PubMed and Embase Database were searched for case–control studies published up to 30th September, 2015. Data were extracted and pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the relationship. Totally, 39 case–control studies (9094 cases and 12,487 controls) were included. The G allele in Ile/Val polymorphism was significantly associated with elevated DTC risk with per‐allele OR of 1.24 (95% CI = 1.09–1.41, P = 0.001). Similar results were also detected under the other genetic models. Evidence was only found to support an association between MspI polymorphism and DTC in the subgroups of caucasian and mixed individuals, but not in the whole population (the dominant model: OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.94–1.91, P = 0.146). In conclusion, our results suggest that the CYP1A1 polymorphisms are potential risk factors for DTC. And large sample size and well‐designed studies with detailed clinical information are needed to more precisely evaluate our founding.

Abstract
Although a number of studies have been conducted on the association between the GSTM1 null genotype and gastric cancer in People’s Republic of China, this association remains elusive and controversial. To clarify the effects of the GSTM1 null genotype on the risk of gastric cancer, an updated meta-analysis was performed in the Chinese population. Related studies were identified from PubMed, Springer Link, Ovid, Chinese Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biology Medicine (CBM) up to November 5, 2014. A total of 25 studies including 3,491 cases and 5,921 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, a significant association (odds ratio [OR] =1.47, 95% CI: 1.28–1.69) was found between the null GSTM1 and gastric cancer risk when all studies in Chinese population were pooled into the meta-analysis. In subgroup analyses stratified by quality score, geographic area, and source of controls, the same results were observed. Additionally, a significant association was found both in smokers and non-smokers. This meta-analysis showed that the null GSTM1 may be a potential biomarker for gastric cancer risk in Chinese, and further studies with gene–gene and gene–environment interactions are required for definite conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A great number of studies have shown that cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) genetic polymorphisms, CYP1A1 Msp I and CYP1A1 Ile/Val, might be risk factors for digestive tract cancers, including esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC), hepatic carcinoma (HC), as well as colorectal cancer (CC), but the results are controversial. In this study, a meta-analysis of this literature aimed to clarify associations of CYP1A1 genetic polymorphisms with digestive tract cancer susceptibility in Chinese populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eligible case-control studies published until December 2013 were retrieved by systematic literature searches from PubMed, Embase, CBM, CNKI and other Chinese databases by two investigators independently. The associated literature was acquired through deliberate search and selection based on established inclusion criteria. Fixed- effects or random-effects models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs and 95%CIs). The meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.2 and Stata 12.0 softwares with stability evaluated by both stratified and sensitivity analyses. Moreover, sensitivity analysis and publication bias diagnostics confirmed the reliability and stability. RESULTS Eighteen case control studies with 1, 747 cases and 2, 923 controls were selected for CYP1A1 MspI polymorphisms, and twenty case-control studies with 3, 790 cases and 4, 907 controls for the CYP1A1 Ile/ Val polymorphisms. Correlation associations between CYP1A1 Ile/Val polymorphisms and digestive tract cancers susceptibility were observed in four genetic models in the meta-analysis (GG vs AA:OR= 2.03, 95%CI =1.52- 2.72; AG vs AA: OR=1.26, 95%CI =1.07-1.48; [ GG+AG vs AA] :OR =1.42, 95%CI=1.20-1.68, [GG vs AA+AG ]:OR=1.80, 95%CI =1.40-2.31). There was no association between CYP1A1 Msp I polymorphisms and digestive tract cancer risk. Subgroup analysis for tumor type showed a significant association of CYP1A1 Ile/Val genetic polymorphisms with EC in China. However, available data collected by the study failed to reveal remarkable associations of GC or HC with CYP1A1 Ile/Val genetic polymorphisms and EC, GC or CC with CYP1A1 MspI genetic polymorphisms. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that CYP1A1 Ile/Val genetic polymorphisms, but not CYP1A1 Msp I polymorphisms, are associated with an increased digestive tract cancer risk in Chinese population. Additional well-designed studies, with larger sample size, focusing on different ethnicities and cancer types are now warranted to validate this finding.

Abstract
Background The null genotype of GSTM1 have been implicated in gastric cancer risk, but numerous individual studies showed mixed, or even conflicting results. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed. Results We identified 54 individual studies involving 9,322 cases and 15,118 controls through computer-based searches of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. It was found that the null genotype of GSTM1 was associated with an increased gastric cancer risk (OR = 1.207, 95% CI: 1.106-1.317, P < 0.001), under the random-effects model (I2 : 49.9%, PQ <0.001). From stratification analyses for ethnicity, alcohol drinking, Helicobacter pylori infection, an effect modification of gastric cancer risk was found in the subgroups of ethnicity, smoking status, Helicobacter pylori infection, whereas null result was found in the subgroups of alcohol drinking. We also undertook gene-gene interaction analysis between GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes for gastric cancer risk, and the results indicated that the dual null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 might elevate the risk of gastric cancer (OR = 1.505, 95% CI: 1.165-1.944, P = 002). Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests that the null genotype of GSTM1 may be a important genetic risk factor for gastric cancer development.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to explore the relations between the genetic polymorphism and the susceptibility to the gastric cancer in Chinese Han population, and to analyze the multi-genes risk in the development of gastric carcinoma. A case-control study of 1:1 matching was performed on 564 individuals with primary gastric carcinoma in Nanjing, China. The genotypes of CYP2E1, GSTMl, GSTTl, NAT2, ALDH2, MTHFR, XRCCl, IL-1β, VDR, and TNF were detected by molecular biological techniques (PCR-RFLP and AS-PCR). Sole gene and gene-gene interactions were analyzed using Logistic regression model. The effect of multi-genes on gastric carcinoma was analyzed using multi-gene risk analysis model, which focused on the effect of multi-gene interaction on the development of gastric carcinoma. The genotypes involved in the susceptibility of gastric carcinoma were CYP2E1(c1/c1), NAT2M1(T/T), NAT2M2(A/A), XRCC1194(T/T), NAT2 phenotype (slow acetylator), MTHFR1298(A/C), and VDR TaqI(T/T), respectively. Multi-gene risk analysis model was introduced to analyze the effect of these genes on the gastric carcinoma. The results showed that there was a strong relation between odds ratio (OR) value of polygene combination and the gene frequency. With the increase of susceptibility gene frequency, the risk distribution curve of gastric carcinoma would shift to a more dangerous phase and exhibit a quantitative relation. Our results demonstrated that the OR of each gene can be utilized as an index to assess the effect of multiple susceptible genes on the occurrence of gastric carcinoma.

Abstract
Background Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) have proved to be involved in the detoxifying several carcinogens and may play an important role in carcinogenesis of cancer. Previous studies on the association between Glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) polymorphism and gastric cancer (GC) risk reported inconclusive results. To get a precise result, we conducted this present meta-analysis through pooling all eligible studies. Methods A comprehensive databases of Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) were searched for case–control studies investigating the association between GSTM1 null genotype and GC risk. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to assess this possible association. A χ2-based Q-test was used to examine the heterogeneity assumption. Begg’s and Egger’s test were used to examine the potential publication bias. The leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine whether our assumptions or decisions have a major effect on the results of present work. Statistical analyses were performed with the software program STATA 12.0. Results A total of 47 eligible case–control studies were identified, including 6,678 cases and 12,912 controls. Our analyses suggested that GSTM1 null genotype was significantly associated with increased risk of GC (OR = 1.186, 95% CI = 1.057-1.329, Pheterogenetiy = 0.000, P = 0.004). Significant association was also found in Asians (OR = 1.269, 95% CI = 1.106-1.455, Pheterogenetiy = 0.002, P = 0.001). However, GSTM1 null genotype was not contributed to GC risk in Caucasians (OR = 1.115, 95% CI = 0.937-1.326, Pheterogenetiy = 0.000, P = 0.222). In the subgroup analysis stratified by sources of controls, significant association was detected in hospital-based studies (OR = 1.355, 95% CI = 1.179-1.557, Pheterogenetiy = 0.001, P = 0.000), while there was no significant association detected in population-based studies (OR = 1.017, 95% CI = 0.862-1.200, Pheterogenetiy = 0.000, P = 0.840). Conclusion This meta-analysis showed the evidence that GSTM1 null genotype contributed to the development of GC.

Abstract
Potential Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) 1A1 MspI, 1A1 Ile462Val, 1A2*1 F, and/or 1A2*1C polymorphisms have been implicated in gastric cancer risk among different ethnicities. We aimed to explore the effect of CYP 1A1 MspI, 1A1 Ile462Val, 1A2*1 F, and/or 1A2*1C polymorphisms on the susceptibility to gastric cancer among different ethnicities through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Each initially included article was scored for quality appraisal. Desirable data were extracted and registered into databases. A number of 11 studies were ultimately eligible for the meta-analysis of CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism, eight studies for the meta-analysis of 1A1 Ile462Val polymorphism, and two studies for the meta-analysis of 1A2*1 F polymorphism. None of genetic model was evidently suggested, and thus all the genetic models were presented. Potential sources of heterogeneity were sought out via subgroup and sensitivity analyses, and publication biases were estimated. In our meta-analysis, significant results could be found in mutational heterozygous CT genotype, compared with wild TT genotype, among large sample size subgroup for CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism. Regarding CYP1A1 Ile462Val polymorphism, no statistically significant results could be found. For CYP1A2*1 F polymorphism, mutational heterozygous AC genotype, compared with wild-type AA, has deleterious effects, whereas mutational homozygous CC genotype, compared with mutational heterozygous type AC, has protective effects but lacks statistically significant difference despite its a proximity to 0.05. Combined mutational homozygous CC genotype and wild-type homozygous AA, compared with mutational heterozygous AC genotype, has protective effects. Our meta-analysis suggests no associations between CYP1A1 Ile462Val polymorphism and gastric cancer, but possible associations between CYP1A1 MspI and CYP1A2*1 F polymorphisms and gastric cancer, which needs to be further reinforced or refuted among different ethnicities in well-designed large-scale high-quality studies.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that the glutathione S-transferases M1 (GSTM1) null genotype is associated with the risk of gastric cancer. However, the interaction between GSTM1 null genotype and smoking for the risk of gastric cancer is still elusive. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to ascertain this issue. Databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched to retrieve relevant studies. Smokers were categorized as "ever-smokers" and "non-smokers." Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to estimate the association strength. Subgroup analyses according to ethnicity, source of control, and sample size were also conducted. A total of 15 eligible studies, including 4,687 gastric cancer cases and 7,002 controls, were identified. We found that the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with increased risk of gastric cancer among ever-smokers (OR = 1.460, 95% CI 1.064-2.003, heterogeneity: P = 0.019). The null genotype also significantly increased the risk of gastric cancer among non-smokers (OR = 1.777, 95% CI 1.301-2.426, heterogeneity: P < 0.01). Stratified analysis according to ethnicity showed that the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with increased risk of gastric cancer among Asians both in ever-smokers (OR = 1.841, 95% CI 1.184-2.861) and non-smokers (OR = 1.773, 95% CI 1.382-2.275). In conclusion, the GSMT1 null genotype significantly increased the risk of gastric cancer both in ever-smokers and non-smokers.

Abstract
Background Glutathione S-transferases M1 (GSTM1) is an important phase II metabolizing enzyme. The null genotype of GSTM1 causes total loss of GSTM1 enzyme activity and numerous studies have investigated the association between GSTM1 null genotype and gastric cancer risk. Methods This meta-analysis was designed to investigate the relationship between GSTM1 null genotype and susceptibility to gastric cancer and assess the influence of Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, Lauren’s classification, and other factors. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the association strength. Results A total of 46 eligible studies were indentified and analyzed in this meta-analysis, including 8138 cases of gastric cancer and 13867 controls. Pooled results showed that the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk of gastric cancer (OR=1.217, 95% CI: 1.113-1.331, Pheterogeneity<0.001). Sub-group analysis suggested that the significant association was only observed in Asians (OR=1.273, 95%: 1.137-1.426, Pheterogeneity = 0.002), but not in Caucasians. The increased risk was found among H. pylori positive population (OR=1.928, 95% CI: 1.028-3.615, Pheterogeneity=0.065), while no association was found among H. pylori negative population (OR=0.969, 95% CI: 0.618-1.521, Pheterogeneity=0.168). For smoking status, the GSTM1 null genotype increased risk of gastric cancer in both ever-smokers and non-smokers. Source of control, sample size, location of tumor and Lauren’s classification did not modify the association. Conclusions In this meta-analysis based on 46 epidemiological studies, we show that the GSTM1 null genotype is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer among Asians but not among Caucasians. H. pylori infection but not smoking status could modify the association.

Abstract
The association of two cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) polymorphisms, m1 (T6235C transition) and m2 (A4889G transition), with gastric cancer risk is inconclusive. We conducted a meta-analysis of all available studies to evaluate the potential role of the polymorphisms and their interactions with tobacco smoking in gastric cancer susceptibility. Published literature from PubMed was retrieved by two investigators independently. Fourteen case-control studies with 2,032 gastric cancer cases and 5,099 controls were selected. A fixed effects model or a random-effects model was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) for the CYP1A1 polymorphisms and the occurrence of gastric cancer. Significant associations between CYP1A1 m1 and m2 polymorphisms and gastric cancer susceptibility were not observed in all genetic models in the overall analyses. Subgroup analyses by ethnicity and source of controls did not reveal significant associations with gastric cancer risk. Stratification analysis by smoking status found that carriers of the heterozygous and homozygous m1 genotypes decreased the susceptibility of gastric cancer among ever-smokers (pooled OR = 0.56, 95 % CI 0.36-0.89, fixed effects). In contrast, the m2 genotypes (G/G and A/G) did not show any relevance to gastric cancer risk among the smoking population (pooled OR = 1.30, 95 % CI 0.84-2.00, fixed effects). Overall, we found that the CYP1A1 polymorphism itself, either m1 or m2, did not represent an independent genetic risk factor influencing gastric cancer. However, subgroup analyses suggest that carriers of the heterozygous and homozygous m1 genotype who are exposed to tobacco smoke have a significantly lower risk of developing gastric cancer. To explain the observed reduction of gastric cancer risk, we proposed a novel hypothesis of "observation bias". This hypothesis is also applicable to explain the combined effects of other genetic polymorphisms and environmental factors on the risk of developing cancers, and the rationality of the hypothesis needs to be further investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ecological and experimental studies have suggested an increased risk of gastric cancer in relation to consumption of pickled vegetables in East Asia. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis of epidemiologic observational studies to evaluate the existing evidence. Searching PubMed, Vip Chinese Periodical, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, we found a total of 60 studies, 50 case-control, and 10 prospective. We compared gastric cancer risk in pickled vegetable/food users versus nonusers (11 studies) or versus those in the lowest reported category of use (49 studies). Pooled results were computed with random-effects models. RESULTS Among case-control studies, 30 showed significant increased risk and one showed significant decreased risk. Among prospective studies, two showed a significant increased risk but none showed a significant decreased risk. The OR (95% CI) was 1.52 (1.37-1.68) for the overall association, 1.56 (1.39-1.75) for case-control, and 1.32 (1.10-1.59) for cohort studies. The OR (95% CI) was 1.89 (1.29-2.77) in Korean, 1.86 (1.61-2.15) in Chinese, and 1.16 (1.04-1.29) in Japanese studies, and 1.14 (0.96-1.35) in studies from other countries. There was high heterogeneity in overall and subgroup analyses. There was little evidence for publication bias. CONCLUSION Our results suggest a potential 50% higher risk of gastric cancer associated with intake of pickled vegetables/foods and perhaps stronger associations in Korea and China. IMPACT The results of this study may offer ways to reduce the risk of gastric cancer in highly populated areas with high incidence of gastric cancer.

Abstract
A great number of studies regarding the association between MspI and Ile462Val polymorphisms in the CYP1A1 gene and gastric cancer have been published. However, the results have been inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to investigate the associations. Published literature from PubMed, ISI Web of Science and other Chinese databases were searched for eligible publications. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random or fixed effect model. Nine studies (860 cases/2183 controls) for CYP1A1 MspI polymorphism and nine studies (1161 cases/3273 controls) for CYP1A1 Ile462Val polymorphism were included in this meta-analysis. MspI polymorphism was not associated with gastric cancer risk (dominant model, OR = 0.95, 95%CI 0.80-1.14; recessive model, OR = 1.01, 95%CI 0.76-1.35; CC vs. TT, OR = 1.03, 95%CI 0.76-1.41; TC vs. TT, OR = 0.95, 95%CI 0.78-1.15). Similarly, there was no association between Ile462Val polymorphism and gastric cancer risk (dominant model, OR = 0.93, 95%CI 0.79-1.10; recessive model, OR = 1.34, 95%CI 0.90-2.00; GG vs. AA, OR = 1.27, 95%CI 0.84-1.90; AG vs. AA, OR = 0.87, 95%CI 0.71-1.07). In the subgroup analysis, no significant association was found in ever smokers, never smokers, Asians and Caucasians. This meta-analysis suggested that there were no associations between CYP1A1 polymorphisms and gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Difference in the capacity of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes might be an important factor in genetic susceptibility to cancer. METHODS A case control study involving forty one gastric cancer patients and one hundred and thirty controls was carried out to determine the frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes. The frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype was observed by carrying out multiplex PCR. RESULTS There was no difference in the frequencies of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null and the combined GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype between patients and control. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that GSTM1 and GSTT1 status may not influence the risk of developing gastric cancer.

Abstract
Mutations in the genes encoding enzymes involved in the metabolism of chemical carcinogens can significantly affect the risk of cell transformation and cancer development. The resident Lebanese population has experienced a sharp increase in cancer incidence within the last few years. The relationship between gene polymorphisms of metabolic enzymes and gastrointestinal (GI) cancer incidence was not previously investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CYP1A1, CYP2E1, and GSTM1 gene polymorphisms and GI cancer incidence among Lebanese. Blood and/or paraffin-embedded biopsy samples were collected from patients and healthy controls. The genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The results of the present case-control study show that the studied Lebanese population generally resembles Caucasian populations with respect to the considered polymorphisms. Further, the GSTM1*0/*0 genotype is a significant risk factor for gastric (odds ratio = 4.1; 95% confidence interval: 1.2-14.5) and colorectal cancers (odds ratio = 3.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.7-8.5); on the other hand, CYP1A1*2A and CYP2E1*6 alone are not significantly associated with GI cancer development, although CYP1A1*2A was more frequent among patients. A remarkable and statistically significant 36.5-fold increase in the risk of gastric cancer was observed among patients with CYP1A1*2A/*2A combined with GSTM1*0/*0. The investigation of genetic risk factors and susceptibility gene polymorphisms in Lebanese is helpful for better understanding of GI cancer etiology.

The association between GSTM1 polymorphism and gastric cancer risk: a meta-analysis. Mol Biol Rep 2011; 39:685-91.

Abstract
Relationship of gastric cancer with the GSTM1 polymorphism was reported with inconsistent results. The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the association between GSTM1 polymorphism and gastric cancer susceptibility. Relevant studies were identified from PubMed and references of retrieved articles. A meta-analysis was performed, which included 38 studies with 6,605 gastric cancer cases and 11,311 controls. The combined result based on all studies showed there was a significant link between GSTM1 null genotype and gastric cancer (OR=1.20, 95%CI: 1.08-1.34). When stratifying for the race, the phenomenon was found that gastric cancer case had a significantly higher frequency of GSTM1 null genotype than control in Asians (OR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.10-1.47). However, there was not enough evidence to show there was a significant difference in GSTM1 null genotype distribution between gastric cancer case and control in Caucasians (OR=1.13, 95%CI: 0.96-1.32). This meta-analysis indicated that GSTM1 null genotype might be associated with increased gastric cancer risk in Asians. However, this meta-analysis did not provide an evidence of confirming association between GSTM1 polymorphism and gastric cancer in Caucasians.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1), which plays an important role in detoxification pathways to protect against damage caused by reactive metabolites of chemicals, has been considered as potential gastric cancer susceptibility genes. However, the published data on the association between GSTM1 present/null polymorphism and gastric cancer risk are still inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Totally, 44 studies including 5440 cases and 11607 controls were involved in the analysis. When all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis, obviously increased gastric cancer risk was found in null genotype carriers (OR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.08-1.33). When stratified by ethnicity, obviously evaluated risk was found in Asians (OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.11-1.54) but not reached to statistically significance in Caucasians (OR=1.11, 95% CI: 0.96-1.28). In the subgroup analysis by hospital-based studies or population-based studies, statistically significantly elevated risk was found in hospital-based studies (OR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.07-1.67) but not reached to statistically significance in population-based studies (OR=1.11, 95% CI: 0.99-1.25). In summary, this meta-analysis result indicates that the GSTM1 null genotype is a low-penetrant risk factor for gastric cancer development in Asians.

Abstract
Stomach cancer is the one of the leading cause of cancer in southern region of India. Its incidence is decreasing worldwide yet on global scale stomach cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer death. Etiology of gastric cancer includes Helicobacter pylori infection, diet and lifestyle, tobacco, alcohol and genetic susceptibility. In this review, we tried to find the contribution of Indian scientist in understanding the descriptive and observational epidemiology of stomach cancer. PubMed was used as a search platform using key words such as "stomach cancer, treatment, clinical characteristics, stomach cancer outcome, epidemiology, etiological factor and their corresponding Mesh terms were used in combination with Boolean operators OR, AND". Most of the reported studies on gastric cancer from India are case report or case series and few are case-control studies. Indian studies on this topic are limited and have observed H. pylori infection, salted tea, pickled food, rice intake, spicy food, soda (additive of food), tobacco and alcohol as risk factors for gastric cancer. More research is required to understand the etiology, develop suitable screening test, to demarcate high-risk population and to develop and evaluate the effect of primary prevention programs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play multiple roles in the pathogenesis and treatment of cancer. Studies investigating the association between Glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null genotype and gastric cancer risk report conflicting results. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for such a relationship. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 35 studies, which included 4,505 gastric cancer cases and 9,062 controls. The combined results based on all studies showed that the GSTM1 null genotype was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (OR = 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02, 1.29). When stratifying for race, results were similar among Asians (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.07, 1.44) except Caucasians (OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.88, 1.24). When stratifying by the location, stage, Lauren's classification, histological differentiation, lymph node metastasis, smoking, and Helicobacter pylori infection of gastric cancer, we observed that patients with diffuse classification had a significantly higher frequency null genotype (OR = 4.80, 95% CI = 1.65,13.94) than those with intestinal classification among Caucasians. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that the GSTM1 null genotype may be associated with gastric cancer among Asians.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the association of glutathione S-transferase mu (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta (GSTT1) null genotypes with the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) in a South Korean population.
METHODS: We conducted a population-based, large-scale case-control study including 2213 GCs, 1829 CRCs, and 1699 controls. Null and non-null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 were determined using real-time PCR.
RESULTS: The null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 were not significantly associated with elevated risk of gastric (OR = 1.070, 95% CI = 0.935-1.224; OR = 1.101, 95% CI = 0.963-1.259, respectively) or colorectal cancer (OR = 1.065, 95% CI = 0.923-1.228; OR = 1.041, 95% CI = 0.903-1.200, respectively). The frequency of the combined null GST genotype was not different between the two cancer groups and controls. Moreover, smoking, drinking, and age did not modify the association between these genotypes and the risk of gastric or colorectal cancer.
CONCLUSION: GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes were not associated with increased risk of GC or CRC in Koreans.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a disease of gene-environment interactions, as suggested by the varying geographic patterns of its incidence. Even in areas with high rates of Helicobacter pylori infection, only a small proportion of infected individuals develop gastric cancer. Genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer can be investigated by common genetic variants, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in various genes that regulate multiple biological pathways. The susceptibility to gastric carcinogenesis has a substantial influence on the population attributable risk by modulating the effects of environmental risk factors. Despite recent progress in the field of the molecular epidemiology of cancer, a re-evaluation of gastric cancer susceptibility and potentially functional SNPs in candidate genes is necessary, given the inconsistency of previous reported studies. This review focuses on genetic variants that contribute to the etiology of gastric cancer, particularly those SNPs involved in inflammatory response, metabolism of chemical carcinogens, DNA repair, and tumor suppression. In the future, well-designed large multicenter population-based studies will be needed to validate current findings and provide the rationale for identifying at-risk subpopulations for primary prevention of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous animal and in vitro studies provided evidence for a relation between garlic intake and cancer risk reduction. Several studies also reported an inverse association in humans. However, no claims have been made about garlic intake and cancer risk reduction with respect to food labeling. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the scientific evidence for garlic intake with respect to the risk of different types of cancer using the US Food and Drug Administration's evidence-based review system for the scientific evaluation of health claims. DESIGN Literature searches were conducted by using the Medline and EMBASE databases for the period 1955-2007 with search terms Allium sativum, vegetables, diet, and nutrition in combination with cancer, neoplasm, and individual cancers. The search was limited to human studies published in English and Korean. RESULTS With the use of the US Food and Drug Administration's evidence-based review system for the scientific evaluation of health claims, 19 human studies were identified and reviewed to evaluate the strength of the evidence that supports a relation between garlic intake and reduced risk of different cancers with respect to food labeling. CONCLUSIONS There was no credible evidence to support a relation between garlic intake and a reduced risk of gastric, breast, lung, or endometrial cancer. Very limited evidence supported a relation between garlic consumption and reduced risk of colon, prostate, esophageal, larynx, oral, ovary, or renal cell cancers.

Abstract
Cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) is a key enzyme in phase I bioactivation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have potential reproductive toxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the CYP1A1 polymorphisms with male infertility in a Han-Chinese population. We genotyped two polymorphisms, CYP1A1*2A and CYP1A1*2C, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay in a hospital-based case-control study including 192 infertile patients with non-obstructive azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia and 226 fertile controls. We found that the genotype distribution of CYP1A1*2C was significantly different between the patients and the controls (p = 0.019). Analysis showed that CYP1A1*2C AG genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of male infertility [odds ratio (OR) = 0.56, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 0.36-0.86, p = 0.005] compared with the AA genotype. A statistically significantly decreased risk of male infertility was found to be associated with the CYP1A1*2C AG genotype plus GG genotype compared with CYP1A1*2C AA genotype (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.40-0.91, p = 0.011). No significant association was detected between CYP1A1*2A polymorphism and male infertility. Haplotypic analysis showed a significantly increased risk of male infertility associated with the C-A haplotype compared with the T-A haplotype (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.27-3.09), indicating a synergic effect of the two polymorphisms. Our results suggest that the CYP1A1 polymorphisms may contribute to the pathogenesis of male infertility in the Han-Chinese population.

Abstract
Gene-environment interaction appears to contribute to the etiology of gastric cancer, as suggested by the varying geographic patterns of gastric cancer incidence. Even in areas with a high rate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, only a small proportion of infected individuals develop gastric cancer. It is likely that genetic factors, particularly relatively common genetic variants, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), may modulate the effects of environmental risk factors by regulating multiple biologic pathways involved in gastric carcinogenesis. Thus, common genetic variants can pose a substantial influence on the population attributable risk, even though the absolute risk associated with each of these variants may be low. Remarkable progress has been made in the field of molecular epidemiology, but it appears that an initial view on the magnitude of the effects of inherited variants was overestimated. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that genetic variants may contribute to the etiology of gastric cancer, particularly those SNPs in genes that are involved in inflammatory response, metabolism of chemical carcinogens, DNA repair, and tumor suppression. Although previous molecular epidemiologic studies of potentially functional polymorphisms in candidate genes and gastric cancer susceptibility lack consistency, they have advanced our knowledge of the role of genetic susceptibility in the etiology of gastric cancer. Future, welldesigned large population-based studies will validate current findings and provide the rationale for identifying at-risk subpopulations for primary prevention of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Solid organ transplant recipients are at higher risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), especially basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Genetic alterations in the production of detoxifying enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase (GST) and CYP1A1 may enhance this risk. We investigated the frequency of GST genotypes (GSTM1, GSTM3, GSTT1 and GSTP1) and CYP1A1 in 239 transplant recipients: 107 cases with NMSC and 132 controls free from NMSC matched for type of transplanted organ, duration of transplantation, sex and age. Allele GSTP1*A was associated with a higher risk of NMSC [odds ratio (OR) 1.7 (1.1-2.5); P = 0.017]. Homozygosity for allele GSTP1 Val(105) was lower in cases [OR 0.3 (0.1-0.8); P = 0.012], especially in patients with SCC [OR 0.1 (0.0-0.7); P = 0.012]. A higher risk of BCC was found in patients with GSTM1 null/null [null/null versus A + B, OR 3.1 (1.4-6.8); P = 0.003]. Analysis of allelism and interaction between allelic variants showed significant association between combined GSTM1 and CYP1A1 Val(462) genotypes, where individuals homozygous for the risk allele GSTM1 null and carrying also the allele CYP1A1 Val(462), show a higher risk of developing NMSC [OR 4.5 (1.1-21.4); P = 0.03], especially SCC [OR 6.5 (1.4-34.4); P = 0.01]. GSTP1 polymorphisms are associated with both BCC and SCC risk. GSTM1 polymorphisms seem to be involved in BCC risk, while GSTM1 null/null genotype combined with CYP1A1 allele Val(462) are associated with a higher risk for SCC, indicating that allelism and/or interactions between allelic variants at other loci may also influence the risk of NMSC, particularly SCC.

Abstract
Developmental process to gastric cancer by Helicobacter pylori infection consists of three steps: (1) H. pylori infection; (2) gastric atrophy development; and (3) carcinogenesis. In each step, genetic traits may influence the process, interacting with lifestyle. In the step of H. pylori infection, two lines of genetic polymorphisms were assumed: one influencing gastric acid inhibition interacting with smoking, and the other concerning innate immune response attenuation. The former includes functional polymorphisms of IL-1B (C-31T or tightly linked T-511C), and TNF-A (T-1031C and C-857T), and the latter possibly includes NQO1 C609T. In the step to gastric atrophy, polymorphisms pertaining to the signal transduction from cytotoxin-associated gene A (PTPN11 A/G at intron 3) and to T-cell responses (IL-2 T-330G and IL-13 C-1111T) were hypothesized. There are a limited number of epidemiological genotype studies on the final step of literal carcinogenesis, potentially interacting with smoking, a low vegetable and fruit intake, and salty foods, the well-documented risk factors. In past case-control studies on the associations between genotype and gastric cancer risk, the cases consisted of H. pylori-related and unrelated gastric cancer patients and the controls consisted of individuals including the uninfected (H. pylori unexposed and exposed) and the infected with and without gastric atrophy. Accordingly, it was not clear whether the observed risk was for H. pylori-related or -unrelated gastric cancer, nor which step was involved in the observed associations even when nearly all cases were H. pylori-related. In order to elucidate the genetic traits of H. pylori-related gastric cancer, stepwise evaluation will be required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are considered to be cancer susceptibility genes as they play a role in the detoxification of carcinogenic species. This study aimed to elucidate the influence of several GST polymorphisms on colorectal and gastric cancer risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS GST mu1 (GSTM1), theta1 (GSTT1), pi1 (GSTP1), alpha1 (GSTA1) and mu3 (GSTM3) genotypes were determined in 144 colorectal cancer patients, 98 gastric cancer patients and 329 healthy control individuals. RESULTS Colorectal cancer: the risk is greater for carriers of the GSTM1 null genotype (odds ratio [OR] = 1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.25-2.91), for carriers of the GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 3.62, 95% CI = 2.34-5.62), and for simultaneous carriers of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes (OR = 4.98, 95% CI = 2.77-9.00). Carriers of the GSTP1 104 Val/Val genotype are at a lower risk (OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.09-0.88). Among carriers of the GSTP1 Ile/Ile genotype, smoking increases the risk compared with nonsmoking (OR = 2.35, 95% CI = 1.11-4.99). Gastric cancer: the risk is greater for carriers of the GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.53-4.36) and for simultaneous carriers of both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes (OR = 3.32, 95% CI = 1.62-6.77). Carriers of the GSTP1 104 Val/Val genotype are at a lower risk (OR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.02-0.86). DISCUSSION The GSTT1 null genotype, particularly if it is associated with the GSTM1 null genotype, greatly increases the risk for colorectal and gastric cancers. The GSTP1 104 Val/Val genotype may protect from both malignant tumors. CONCLUSION This study indicates that GST polymorphisms, in particular the GSTM1/GSTT1 double-null haplotype, can be considered low-penetrance genes for gastrointestinal cancer.
