          Abstract

          Objective

          The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between GSTP1 polymorphisms and prognosis of osteosarcoma in patients treated with chemotherapy, by performing a meta-analysis.

          Methods

          The studies of effects of GSTP1 gene polymorphisms on osteosarcoma survival after chemotherapy were collected. STATA (version 12.0) was used to perform data synthesis.

          Results

          Six studies involving 898 participants were included. A meta-analysis was performed on studies in GSTP1 313A>G(rs1695) assessing the association between tumor response and the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (AA vs AG, AA vs GG), the pooled odds ratios (ORs) were 2.06 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.48–2.86, P=0.628, I 2=0.0%). There was significant association between the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (AA vs AG, AA vs GG) and the events that happened, the pooled ORs were 1.86 (95% CI: 1.14–3.06, P=0.034, I 2=58.6%), and there was significant association between the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (AA vs AG, AA vs GG) and survival times (overall survival and progression-free survival) in osteosarcoma patients treated with chemotherapy, and the pooled ORs were 2.14 (95% CI: 1.51–3.04, P=0.675, I 2=0.0%) and 2.77 (95% CI: 1.56–4.91, P=0.347, I 2=9.3%), respectively. Two studies assessed the association of polymorphisms in GSTP1 I105V (IIe/IIe vs IIe/Val, IIe/IIe vs Val/Val) with overall survival in human osteosarcoma. The pooled ORs were 1.20 (95% CI: 0.64–2.27, P=0.010, I 2=73.5%). The study showed an insignificant difference in overall survival for the polymorphisms in GSTP1 (IIe/IIe vs IIe/Val, IIe/IIe vs Val/Val).

          Conclusion

          This meta-analysis indicated that GSTP1 polymorphisms might influence osteosarcoma risk and suggests that GSTP1 polymorphisms may be an important risk factor for osteosarcoma.

          Asthma genetics and genomics 2009.

          Asthma Genetic Association studies have been plagued by methodologic problems that are common in all studies of complex traits: small sample size, lack of replication, and lack of control of population stratification. Despite this, the field has identified 43 replicated genes from association studies. The most frequently replicated are: TNF alpha, IL4, FCERB, Adam 33, and GSTP1. Several genes have been identified by linkage and fine mapping (ADAM33, DPP10, GPR154, and PHF11) and one gene has been identified by GWAS (ORMD3). The major issue is that these genes have been looked at one at a time rather than in some more holistic manner where epistasis is considered. For asthma genetics to begin to have an impact on clinical medicine we need to consider epistatic interaction.

            Effect of ABCB1 and ABCC3 Polymorphisms on Osteosarcoma Survival after Chemotherapy: A Pharmacogenetic Study

            Background Standard treatment for osteosarcoma patients consists of a combination of cisplatin, adriamycin, and methotrexate before surgical resection of the primary tumour, followed by postoperative chemotherapy including vincristine and cyclophosphamide. Unfortunately, many patients still relapse or suffer adverse events. We examined whether common germline polymorphisms in chemotherapeutic transporter and metabolic pathway genes of the drugs used in standard osteosarcoma treatment may predict treatment response. Methodology/Principal Findings In this study we screened 102 osteosarcoma patients for 346 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and 2 Copy Number Variants (CNVs) in 24 genes involved in the metabolism or transport of cisplatin, adriamycin, methotrexate, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide. We studied the association of the genotypes with tumour response and overall survival. We found that four SNPs in two ATP-binding cassette genes were significantly associated with overall survival: rs4148416 in ABCC3 (per-allele HR = 8.14, 95%CI = 2.73-20.2, p-value = 5.1×10−5), and three SNPs in ABCB1, rs4148737 (per-allele HR = 3.66, 95%CI = 1.85–6.11, p-value = 6.9×10−5), rs1128503 and rs10276036 (r2 = 1, per-allele HR = 0.24, 95%CI = 0.11–0.47 p-value = 7.9×10−5). Associations with these SNPs remained statistically significant after correction for multiple testing (all corrected p-values [permutation test] ≤0.03). Conclusions Our findings suggest that these polymorphisms may affect osteosarcoma treatment efficacy. If these associations are independently validated, these variants could be used as genetic predictors of clinical outcome in the treatment of osteosarcoma, helping in the design of individualized therapy.

              Genetic polymorphisms in human xenobiotica metabolizing enzymes as susceptibility factors in toxic response.

              H Autrup (2000)
              Biotransformation plays an important role in the carcinogenic activity and organ specificity of environmental carcinogens. Large interindividual variation in the biotransformation has been reported, and genetic polymorphisms in some xenobiotica metabolizing enzymes can in part explain some of these differences. The concentration of the ultimate carcinogen, that will react with DNA, is determined by the rate of activation and detoxification. Individuals with a decreased rate of detoxification, i.e., lacking the glutathione S-transferase M1 gene, have a slightly higher level of bulky carcinogen-DNA adduct in some tissues, and do also have an increased level of chromosomal aberrations. In addition, the genotype may also influence the type of mutations, e.g., in tumor suppressor gene, transversion being predominant in the GSTM1 null group. People with slow N-acetyltransferase activity do generally have a higher adduct level of aromatic amines in bladder tissues. Genetic polymorphism in either CYP1A1 or glutathione S-transferase is linked to an increased risk of smoking related cancers, while N-acetyltransferase activity is related to cancers in which aromatic amines are the main risk factor. Combination of the high risk genotypes for activating and detoxification enzymes, e.g., CYP1A MspI/GSTM1 null is not only associated with an increased risk of cancer development, but also an increased level of markers of the biological active dose and early markers of effect. Additional studies on the role of genetic variants of xenobiotica metabolizing enzymes and combinations thereof at relevant low levels of exposure are important in order to establish guidance values for toxic compounds.
