Purpose: To clarify the role of genetic polymorphisms of GSTO1 (rs4925) and GSTO2 (rs156697) in individual susceptibility to urinary bladder cancer.
Methods: Case-control study consisting of 187 patients with histologically confirmed transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of urinary bladder and 140 age- and gender-matched cancer-free controls was carried out. Genotyping of GSTO1 and GSTO2 was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).
Results: We found that carriers of mutant GSTO2*G/G genotype were at increased risk of the development of TCC (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.2-5.8, p = 0.041), while GSTO1 rs4925 polymorphism was not significantly associated with TCC risk (p = 0.450). According to smoking status, smokers with GSTO2*G/G genotype had significantly higher risk of TCC of urinary bladder (OR 4.3, 95% CI 1.6-11.2, p = 0.003) compared to wild-type carriers with no smoking history. We further analyzed the effects of GSTO1/GSTO2 haplotypes on TCC risk, based on the linkage disequilibrium found for GSTO1 (rs4925) and GSTO2 (rs156697) (D' = 0.309, p = 0.001). The study subjects with GSTO1*C/GSTO2*G (GSTO1 wild-type/GSTO2 mutant) haplotype were at the highest risk of the development of transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.5-5.2, p = 0.002).
Conclusions: Our results indicate that GSTO1*C/GSTO2*G haplotype is associated with increased risk of TCC. The modifying effect of GSTO2*G/G genotype on individual susceptibility to TCC is more pronounced, when associated with smoking.
