Relationship Between Glutathione S-Transferase M1 Deficiency and Urothelial Cancer in Dye Workers Exposed to Aromatic Amines

Abstract: We demonstrated a strong trend using the multiple logistic analysis of the contribution of glutathione S-transferase M1 gene polymorphism and occupational environmental factors. Therefore, the glutathione S-transferase M1 enzyme might have an important role in the detoxification of aromatic amine derived carcinogens. Occupational environmental factors, however, might contribute more than a glutathione S-transferase M1 gene deficiency to the occurrence of urothelial cancer among individuals exposed to aromatic … Show more

“…At present, the molecular mechanisms of the initiation and progression of bladder cancer are unclear, although many genetic factors have been found to be associated with it 3, 10, 11. Based on this, we speculate that survivin and livin genes probably play an important role in cell proliferation and tumor progression in NIMBC.…”

“…Four studies have been conducted for GSTM1 polymorphisms in workers exposed to aromatic amines. Rothman et al (82), Ma et al (83) and Carreón et al (78) did not observe an association, while Shinka et al (84) reported a higher risk among those subjects carrying the GSTM1 null genotype, but the association did not reach statistical significance.…”

“…The incidence of UC in Taiwan is higher than that of other parts of the world with an unusually high incidence of 50 per 100,000 person-years 24 . The development of UC can be associated with multiple factors such as smoking 5 , drinking groundwater that contains heavy metals 6 , exposures to environmental toxins such as dye 7 or organic solvent 8 , and Chinese herbs that contain aristolochic acid (AA). Aristolochic acid can be the cause of both CKD and UC 912 .…”
