Interactions between <i>Paraoxonase 1</i> Genetic Polymorphisms and Smoking and Their Effects on Oxidative Stress and Lung Cancer Risk in a Korean Population
<div><p>Background</p><p>Few studies in epidemiology have evaluated the effects of gene-environment interaction on oxidative stress, even though this interaction is an important etiologic factor in lung carcinogenesis. We investigated the effects of the genetic polymorphisms of paraoxonase 1 (PON1), smoking, and the interaction between the two on lung cancer risk and oxidative stress.</p><p>Methods</p><p>This study’s subjects consisted of 416 newly diagnosed lung cancer patients and an equal number of matched controls. The GoldenGate assay was used for genotypic analyses of the <i>PON1</i> gene. Urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels were measured as indicators of oxidative stress.</p><p>Results</p><p>The <i>PON1</i> rs662 AA genotype showed a significantly lower risk of lung cancer than the GG genotype (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.36–0.99). The protective effect of the <i>PON1</i> rs662 AA genotype on lung cancer risk was limited to non-smokers. Lung cancer patients who had the rs662 A allele showed a dose-dependent association between smoking status and oxidative stress markers. Among non-smoking lung cancer patients, urinary 8-OHdG levels were significantly lower in individuals with the rs662 GA and AA genotypes than in those with the GG genotype. Furthermore, we found a significant interaction effect between <i>PON1</i> rs662 and smoking status on urinary 8-OHdG levels in lung cancer patients.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>Our results suggest that the protective effect of <i>PON1</i> rs662 SNP against lung carcinogenesis and the induction of oxidative stress might be modulated by the interaction between <i>PON1</i> genetic polymorphisms and tobacco smoking.</p></div
