Exposure to wood smoke, HPV infection, and genetic susceptibility for cervical neoplasia among women in Colombia

Abstract: Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer among women in Colombia (16/100,000). Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a major role in the etiology of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs). Exposure to chemical agents may be a cofactor for tumor induction, and individual genetic differences in the metabolism of these chemical agents may affect the susceptibility of individuals towards the development of HSIL. In this case-control study, a total of 91 case… Show more

“…Among them, GSTM1 and GSTT1 should be pointed out because a polymorphic deletion of these genes may influence the enzyme activity, and eventually increased vulnerability to genotoxic damage [60], [61]. Based on these backgrounds, the association has been intensively investigated between GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms and risk of cervical neoplasia [25][49]. Unfortunately, most of the studies have only a few hundred of participants, even less, which is too small to evaluate the overall effects precisely.…”

“…Subsequently, a large number of epidemiological studies have been addressed to evaluate the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 homozygous deletion polymorphisms and risk of cervical neoplasia in diverse ethnicities [25][49]. However, this issue remains controversial because of inconsistent results among different studies.…”

“…Fifty-seven were excluded for various reasons (26 studies did not involve CC, 18did not involve polymorphisms, 5 did not include controls, 4 were conducted on overlapping populations, and 4 were review articles). Finally, 23 case-control studies [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40] were included in the GSTM1 genotype meta-analysis (2343 cases and 2662 controls). The meta-analysis included studies from China, India, Japan, Korea, Italy, USA, Greece, Brazil, Turkey, and Thailand.…”

“…With our search criterion, 123 individual records were found, but only 31 full-text articles were preliminarily identified for further detailed evaluation. According to the exclusion criteria, 15 articles were excluded including 5 articles containing overlapping population [7][8][9][10][11], 8 precancerous lesions included in the cases [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], 2 without sufficient data [20][21]. At last, data were available from 16 individual case-control studies [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], Table 1 presented characteristics of these 16 case-control studies (a total of 1,627 CC cases and 2,161 controls).…”
