Nat2, Xrcc1 And Hogg1 Polymorphisms, Cigarette Smoking, Alcohol Consumption And Risk Of Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer

Aim: To evaluate associations between polymorphisms of the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) and X-ray repair crosscomplementing protein 1 (XRCC1) genes and risk of upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer. Patients and Methods: A case-control study involving 117 cases and 224 controls was undertaken. The NAT2 gene polymorphisms were genotyped by automated sequencing and XRCC1 Arg399Gln and hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms were determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction followed by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods. Results: Slow metabolization phenotype was significantly associated as a risk factor for the development of UADT cancer (p=0.038). Furthermore, haplotype of slow metabolization was also associated with UADT cancer (p=0.014). The hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism (CG or GG vs. CC genotypes) was shown as a protective factor against UADT cancer in moderate smokers (p=0.031). The XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism (GA or AA vs. GG genotypes), in turn, was a protective factor against UADT cancer only among neverdrinkers (p=0.048). Conclusion: Interactions involving NAT2, XRCC1 Arg399Gln and hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms may modulate the risk of UADT cancer in this population.34632173224Choong, N., Vokes, E., Expanding role of the medical oncologist in the management of head and neck cancer (2008) CA Cancer J, 58, pp. 32-53Kato, I., Nomura, A.M., Alcohol in the aetiology of upper aerodigestive tract cancer (1994) Eur J Cancer B Oral Oncol, 30 B, pp. 75-81Kato, I., Nomura, A.M., Stemmermann, G.N., Chyou, P.H., Prospective study of the association of alcohol with cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract and other sites (1992) Cancer Causes Control, 3, pp. 145-151Demokan, S., Suoglu, Y., Gozeler, M., Demir, D., Dalay, N., N-acetyltransferase 1 and 2 gene sequence variants and risk of head and neck cancer (2010) Mol Biol Rep, 37, pp. 3217-3226Hung, R.J., Hall, J., Brennan, P., Boffetta, P., Genetic polymorphisms in the base excision repair pathway and cancer risk: A HuGE review (2005) Am J Epidemiol, 162, pp. 925-942Badawi, A.F., Hirvonen, A., Bell, D.A., Lang, N.P., Kadlubar, F.F., Role of aromatic amine acetyltransferases, NAT1 and NAT2, in carcinogen-DNA adduct formation in the human urinary bladder (1995) Cancer Res, 55, pp. 5230-5237Brockton, N., Little, J., Sharp, L., Cotton, S.C., N-acetyltransferase polymorphisms and colorectal cancer: A HuGE review (2000) Am J Epidemiol, 151, pp. 846-861Hein, D.W., Acetylator genotype and arylamine-induced carcinogenesis (1988) Biochim Biophys Acta, 948, pp. 37-66Hein, D.W., McQueen, C.A., Grant, D.M., Goodfellow, G.H., Kadlubar, F.F., Weber, W.W., Pharmacogenetics of the arylamine N-acetyltransferases: A symposium in honor of Wendell W (2000) Weber.
