Abstract
|
|---|
Esophageal cancer, which is prevalent in China, is believed to be
induced by environmental carcinogens such as nitrosamines and other
agents. The disproportionate geographical distribution of this cancer
among individuals suggests a role for gene-environment interactions in
developing the disease. We have shown in our preliminary study that a
genetic polymorphism in cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1)
that is known to activate nitrosamines may be a susceptibility factor
involved in the early events leading to the development of esophageal
cancer (Lin et al., Cancer Epidemiol. Biomark. Prev.,
7: 10131018, 1998). This relatively larger study was
conducted to compare the results with our previous findings. One
hundred and fifty cases with esophageal cancer, 146 cases with
esophageal dysplasia, and 150 normal controls were residents of
Linxian, China, a high-risk area. Genomic DNA samples were assayed for
restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the CYP2E1
and GSTP1 loci by PCR amplification followed by
digestion with RsaI and Alw26I,
respectively. Deletion of the GSTM1 and
GSTT1 genes was detected by multiplex PCR. The
distribution of CYP2E1 c1/c1 allele frequency was found
to be significantly different between controls (44.0%) and cases with
cancer (71.3%) or cases with dysplasia (70.6%; P < 0.0001). Individuals having the c1/c1 genotype were at a 3.1-fold
[95% confidence interval (CI), 2.43.9] increased risk of
developing dysplasia and a 3.2-fold (95% CI, 2.54.1) increased risk
of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Although
polymorphisms in the GSTT1 and GSTP1 were
not significantly different between cases with cancer or cases with
dysplasia and controls, the frequency of the GSTM1
non-null (+/+ and +/0) genotypes appeared to be overrepresented in
cases with cancer compared with controls (odds ratio, 2.3; 95% CI,
1.83.0). Furthermore, a joint effect of the CYP2E1
c1/c1 genotype and GSTM1 non-null genotype on the cancer
risk was observed, showing an odds ratio of 8.5 (95% CI, 3.719.9).
These results demonstrate that CYP2E1 and perhaps
GSTM1 are genetic determinants in the development of
squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.

Introduction
|
|---|
SCC3
of the esophagus is one of the most common cancers in China, with
250,000 cases diagnosed every year. The distribution of the cancer
is markedly different over the country. Linxian County in Henan
Province is an example of high-risk areas, where the mortality rate of
the disease is over 150 per 100,000 (1)
. Esophageal
carcinogenesis follows a multistage progression, from normal epithelium
to basal cell hyperplasia, dysplasia, or carcinoma in situ,
and finally to invasive SCC (2, 3, 4)
. Many environmental
agents, particularly nitrosamines, have been suggested to be involved
in the etiology of SCC of the esophagus in this area
(5, 6, 7, 8)
. However, even in a high-risk area, only a small
portion of people develops this disease. The disproportionate
occurrence of this cancer among individuals suggests a role of host
susceptibility factors in the development of the disease. In recent
years, evidence has accumulated to support the hypothesis that genetic
polymorphisms in carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes may be of importance
in determining individual susceptibility to cancer (9
, 10)
.
CYP2E1 is an enzyme responsible for the metabolic activation of many
carcinogens, including nitrosamines (11
, 12)
. This enzyme
is also believed to participate in the oxidation of other compounds,
such as ethanol, to produce reactive free radicals that may initiate
lipid peroxidation and consequently carcinogenesis (13
, 14)
. CYP2E1 represents a major CYP isoform in the liver and is
also expressed at significant levels in human esophagus and other
extrahepatic tissues (15, 16, 17)
. Although certain chemicals
and pathophysiological status can induce the activity of CYP2E1,
considerable interindividual variations have been observed before and
after induction (18, 19, 20)
, suggesting that the variation
may be determined by genetic factors in the locus. Several restriction
fragment length polymorphisms of the human CYP2E1
have been identified (21, 22, 23)
, and the variant c2 allele
recognized by RsaI digestion in the 5'-flanking region of
the gene appears to be associated with decreased enzyme activity or
noninducibility (20
, 24, 25, 26, 27)
. However, there has been one
in vitro study that showed that the c2 allele increased
expression of a reporter gene construct (28)
.
The GSTs, a family of multifunctional enzymes, metabolize a
variety of xenobiotics with a large overlap in substrate specificity.
Individuals who are homozygous for the null GSTM1 or null
GSTT1 alleles lack the respective enzyme functions
(29
, 30)
. The null GSTM1 genotype appears to be
common in both Asians and Caucasians, whereas the null GSTT1
genotype exhibits population frequencies that depend on ethnicity
(31, 32, 33)
. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 defects seem to be
associated with increased risk of certain cancers (34
, 35)
; however, conflicting data have been observed
(36, 37, 38)
. This may reflect the fact that certain GSTs may
be more able to detoxify certain carcinogens, but others may result in
a higher risk for some types of exposure, which has been especially
demonstrated with GSTT1 (34
, 39)
. GSTP1 is a major GST
isoform expressed in human esophagus (17
, 40)
and
has been shown to be genetically polymorphic. Two single-base mutations
within exons 5 and 6 have been identified that result in
Ile105-to-Val105 and
Ala11-to-Val113 changes in
the amino acid sequence of the protein, which alter affinity and
activity for some substrates of the enzyme (41, 42, 43)
.
Therefore, the GSTP1 polymorphism may also have potential effects on
cancer susceptibility (44
, 45) .
Although several studies have been undertaken to examine the
association between susceptibility to some types of cancer and genetic
polymorphisms in CYP2E1 (22
, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
and GSTs
(see above), there are limited data on their association with
SCC of the esophagus (52, 53, 54)
. A case-control study based
on the population in a high-risk area such as Linxian provides an
excellent opportunity for assessment of the impact of a genetic
susceptibility factor on esophageal carcinogenesis because the
population is relatively stable and has similar life-styles and
environmental exposures. Recently, we reported in a pilot study an
association between genetic polymorphisms in CYP2E1, but not GSTs, and
the risk of developing squamous cell dysplasia, a precancerous lesion,
and SCC of the esophagus in Linxian, China (32)
. This
independent case-control study was carried out as a comparison with our
initial findings. We also assessed the joint effect of genetic
polymorphisms and tobacco smoke, a known risk factor for many cancers,
on the risk of SCC of the esophagus in this study population.

Materials and Methods
|
|---|
Study Population.
This case-control study contained 150 patients with SCC of the
esophagus, 146 patients with squamous cell dysplasia of the esophagus,
and 150 controls. All subjects were residents in Linxian County, Henan
Province, China. The cases were recruited over a period from January
1997 to November 1998 at two local hospitals. All cases diagnosed at
these two hospitals during the study period were recruited, yielding a
100% response rate. Case subjects were newly diagnosed as having SCC
of the esophagus and were previously untreated. The diagnoses of cancer
were confirmed histologically. Cases with squamous cell dysplasia and
normal controls were accrued from a cancer-screening program for early
detection of esophageal cancer and its precancerous lesions in the same
area. The diagnoses of dysplasia were determined by esophageal biopsy.
Controls randomly selected on the basis of cytological examination or
biopsy were frequency-matched to the cancer cases for age and gender.
All subjects were required to respond to a personal interview and
provide information on sociodemographic characteristics, recent and
prior tobacco use, and family history of cancer.
Polymorphism Analysis.
Genomic DNA was isolated from surgically removed "normal" tissues
adjacent to tumors of patients with SCC of the esophagus or from biopsy
samples of cases with dysplasia and controls, using standard methods as
described previously (32)
. Genotypes were analyzed using
PCR-based methods as described below. Genotyping was conducted
with blinding to case/control status.
CYP2E1.
Because a RsaI- but not DraI-recognized
polymorphism in the CYP2E1 locus was found to be associated
with increased risk of esophageal cancer in our pilot study
(32)
, only the RsaI site polymorphism in the
transcription regulation region was analyzed in this study. The PCR
primers used were 5'-CCAGTCGAGTCTACATTGTCA-3' and
5'-AGACCTCCACATTGACTAGC-3'. All PCR amplifications were performed in
25-µl reaction mixtures containing 0.1 µg of template DNA, 1.0
µM each primer, 0.2 mM
deoxynucleotide triphosphates (Promega, Madison, WI), 2.5
mM MgCl2, and 1.5 units of
Taq polymerase in buffer [10 mM Tris-HCl
(pH 9), 1% Triton X-100, 2% DMSO; Promega]. After an initial
denaturation at 95°C for 2 min, the DNA was amplified by 35 cycles of
1 min at 94°C, 1 min at 57°C, and 2 min at 72°C, followed by a
final extension step of 10 min at 72°C in a GeneAmp 2400 thermocycler
(Perkin-Elmer, Norwalk, CT). Ten µl of amplified 552-bp product were
then digested with 10 units of RsaI restriction enzyme (New
England Biolabs, Inc., Beverly, MA) at 37°C for 4 h, and the
restricted product was analyzed by electrophoresis in 2.5% agarose gel
containing ethidium bromide. RsaI digestion produced three
CYP2E1 genotypes, i.e., the predominant
homozygote c1/c1, the heterozygote c1/c2, and the rare homozygote
c2/c2. The predominant allele (c1) was sensitive to RsaI
digestion and resulted in two fragments at 352 and 200 bp, whereas the
c2 allele was resistant to RsaI digestion.
GSTM1 and GSTT1.
The GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were identified
by a multiplex PCR procedure (32)
, based on that described
by Arand et al. (55)
. In brief, this PCR method
had both GST-specific primers in the same reaction mixture
together with primers for amplification of the
albumin gene as an internal control. The absence of a
GSTM1-specific 219-bp product or GSTT1-specific
459-bp product indicated the corresponding null genotype when the
albumin-specific 350-bp product was present in the reaction.
PCR was carried out in a 25-µl mixture consisting of reaction buffer,
template DNA (0.1 µg), deoxynucleotide triphosphates (0.2
mM), MgCl2 (2.5
mM), each primer (1.0, 0.3, and 0.1
µM for GSTM1, GSTT1, and
albumin, respectively), and Taq polymerase (1.25 units).
Amplification was achieved by 35 cycles of 1 min at 94°C, 1 min at
62°C, and 1 min at 72°C. Amplified products were resolved on a
1.5% agarose gel.
GSTP1.
The A
G mutation within exon 5 of the GSTP1 gene was
detected by a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism method using
the primers 5'-ACGCACATCCTCTTCCCCTC-3' and 5'-TACTTGGCTGGTTGATGTCC-3'.
The conditions for PCR amplification and Alw26I (Fermentas,
Vilnius, Lithuania) digestion of the amplified product were as
described previously (32)
. A sample of the resulting
fragment was separated by electrophoresis to detect the mutation with
polymorphic bands of 213 and 227 bp (GSTP1*B) or 440 bp
(GSTP1*A).
Statistical Analysis.
Pearsons
2 test was used to examine
differences in distributions of genotypes studied between cases and
controls. ORs with 95% CIs calculated using unconditional logistic
regression and adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, and pack-years
of smoking were used to estimate the association between certain
genotypes or tobacco smoking and diseases. Gene-gene interactions and
gene-smoking interactions, after adjusting for age, gender, and
smoking, were also analyzed by logistic regression methods and fit
models (56)
. All statistical analyses were performed using
SPSS Release 8.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL).

Results
|
|---|
This report is based on the analyses of 150 cases with SCC
of the esophagus, 146 cases with esophageal dysplasia, and 150 normal
controls. The selected demographic variables of study subjects are
summarized in Table 1
. There were no significant differences among cases with cancer, cases
with dysplasia, and controls in terms of mean age. Gender distributions
between cancer cases and controls were identical, whereas women were
overrepresented in the group of cases with dysplasia compared with the
control group (49.3 versus 34.0%; P <
0.05). Distributions of smokers and cumulative tobacco doses
(pack-years) in the cancer-case group were comparable to that in the
control group. Fewer smokers were represented in the dysplasia-case
group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). This
was likely due to the differences in gender distribution between the
two groups because tobacco smoking is a rare habit among Chinese
females. No family history of esophageal cancer was observed among
controls and cases.
The allele frequencies for the c1 and c2 forms of the
CYP2E1 gene were found to be 0.70 and 0.30 among the control
population, compared with 0.82 and 0.18 among cancer cases
(P = 0.016) and 0.84 and 0.16 among dysplasia cases
(P = 0.003), respectively. The distributions of three
CYP2E1 genotypes were then compared among dysplasia cases,
carcinoma cases, and controls. As shown in Table 2
, 71.3% of cancer cases and 70.6% of dysplasia cases were homozygous
for the c1 allele of CYP2E1; these were significantly higher
(
2 = 30.7; P < 0.0001) than
that of controls (44.0%). Subjects with the c1/c1 genotype had a
3-fold increased risk of developing squamous cell dysplasia (adjusted
OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 2.43.9) and 3-fold increased risk of developing SCC
(adjusted OR, 3.2; 95% CI, 2.54.1), compared with subjects with
variant (c1/c2 and c2/c2) genotypes.

GSTT1, and GSTP1 among cases with dysplasia,
cases with carcinoma, and controls
|
|
Although the GSTM1 gene deletion was common in both
controls and cases, a significant difference in the distribution of
GSTM1 genotypes was also observed between cancer cases and
controls (Table 2)
. Seventy percent of cancer cases were
GSTM1 non-null (+/+ and +/0) genotypes, which was
significantly higher (P < 0.001) than that of control
subjects (49.3%). The adjusted OR of esophageal cancer for the
GSTM1 non-null genotype compared with the
GSTM1-null genotype was 2.3 (95% CI, 1.83.0). The
GSTM1 genotype was not significantly associated with
squamous cell dysplasia. Because the distributions of genotypes of both
GSTT1 and GSTP1 did not differ significantly
between the controls and either group of cases, further analysis was
focused on CYP2E1 and GSTM1.
Results of the analysis of interaction between the
CYP2E1 genotypes and the GSTM1 genotypes on risk
of SCC of the esophagus are shown in Table 3
. Although no significant interaction between the two genes was observed
(P = 0.34), cases with the CYP2E1 c1/c1
genotype were more likely to carry GSTM1 non-null alleles
than their corresponding controls. Among individuals who carried the
CYP2E1 c1/c1 and GSTM1-null genotypes, the OR of
SCC of the esophagus was 4.4 (95% CI, 1.810.8). However, the OR was
increased to 8.5 (95% CI, 3.719.9) among individuals who had both
CYP2E1 c1/c1 and GSTM1 non-null genotypes
(P < 0.05, test for homogeneity).
The potential interaction between tobacco smoking and
CYP2E1 or GSTM1 polymorphisms on the risk of the
cancer was also examined. Table 4
shows the ORs of SCC of the esophagus related to CYP2E1 and
GSTM1 genotypes by exposure to tobacco smoking. An excessive
risk with borderline significance (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.05.2) was
found to be related to smoking only among those with at least one copy
of the CYP2E1 c2 allele. This pattern, although not
statistically significant, was also seen among those with the
GSTM1-null genotype compared with nonsmokers. The
interactions between both genes and the levels of smoking (pack-years)
were not significant.

Discussion
|
|---|
The results obtained from the current study confirm our previous
finding that CYP2E1 genetic polymorphism is a susceptibility
factor involved in the early events leading to SCC of the esophagus
(32)
. On the basis of this study of 146 cases with
dysplasia, 150 cases with carcinoma, and 150 controls, a 3-fold
increased risk of both dysplasia and cancer of the esophagus was
observed among subjects with the c1/c1 genotype of CYP2E1.
This observation is in agreement with recent studies showing that the
c1/c1 genotype of CYP2E1 was associated with increased risk
of lung cancer (48
, 57
, 58)
and liver cancer
(51)
. However, contrary results also exist reporting no
association between CYP2E1 c1/c1 genotype and cancers
(50
, 52
, 59, 60, 61, 62)
or reporting that excessive risk of
certain types of cancer is associated with c2 variant genotype
(63
, 64)
. The reason for this discrepancy is not clear,
but several possibilities, such as ethnic differences in allele
frequencies and specific exposures associated with the polymorphism,
should be considered, as have been discussed in our previous report
(32)
. It is worth noting that Le Marchand et
al. (27)
have recently shown that individuals with
the c2 variant genotype of CYP2E1 had reduced enzyme
activity in vivo compared with those with the c1 genotype.
This result of genotype-phenotype relationship further supports our and
others findings showing that the c1 allele of
CYP2E1 is a genetic susceptibility factor for certain
types of exposures.
Because the CYP2E1 enzyme is involved in the metabolism of a
number of carcinogens, the present findings indirectly support the
hypothesis that environmental exposure to carcinogens plays a role in
the etiology of esophageal cancer. In this context, nitrosamines should
be considered to be important because some of these compounds are
activated primarily by CYP2E1 (11
, 12)
and are potent
esophageal carcinogens in experimental animals (65)
. In
fact, dietary exposure to nitrosamines and the host capability to form
these carcinogens have been demonstrated to be associated with an
increased risk of esophageal cancer among individuals living in this
high-risk area of China (5
, 6
, 8)
. Furthermore, higher
amounts of O6-methyldeoxyguanosine, a
DNA alkylation adduct resulting from metabolically activated
nitrosamines among other alkylating agents, was also found in the
esophageal mucosa of subjects residing in this area (66)
.
These data together with our findings indicate a biological
plausibility of CYP2E1-nitrosamine interactions as
causative factors for developing SCC of the esophagus. Tobacco smoke
contains a number of carcinogens, and epidemiological studies have
shown that an elevated risk of esophageal cancer in developed countries
and in low-risk areas of China is associated with tobacco smoking
(67
, 68)
. However, in our study carried out in a high-risk
area, tobacco smoking alone was not significantly associated with
increased risk of the cancer. A combined effect of tobacco smoking and
CYP2E1 polymorphism was observed, but this was limited to
those with the "low-risk" genotype of CYP2E1 and was
borderline in statistical significance. In addition, no interactions
between smoking and genetic polymorphisms in the three
GST loci known to detoxify tobacco smoke-related
carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon epoxides were
significantly correlated with the risk of the cancer. These results are
essentially in agreement with previous reports (69
, 70)
suggesting that tobacco smoking is not a major etiological factor for
esophageal cancer in this high-risk area. In addition to nitrosamines,
however, other carcinogens present in the environment should not be
overlooked because CYP2E1 may also catalyze the oxidation and DNA
adduct formation of many low-molecular weight carcinogens
(11)
and catalyzes the production of reactive oxygen
species (13
, 14)
that may cause DNA damage and
consequently initiate carcinogenesis.
Another provocative but unexpected observation from the present
study was that increased risk of SCC of the esophagus was associated
with the GSTM1 non-null genotypes. Moreover, the
GSTM1 non-null genotype showed a synergistic effect with
CYP2E1 c1/c1 genotype on the risk of esophageal cancer.
Because there are few reports (38)
, to our knowledge, that
show that the risk of cancer is associated with GSTM1
non-null genotypes, caution should be made in interpreting this finding
and further confirmation may be warranted. However, several
possibilities exist for explanation of the observation. One possibility
is that carcinogen(s) involved in the etiology of esophageal cancer in
this high-incidence region or their intermediates derived from
CYP2E1-mediated metabolism are further activated by GSTM1-catalyzed
conjugation. It is generally believed that the great majority of
GST-catalyzed reactions of electrophiles with reduced
glutathione are detoxification processes. However, enhanced
genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of some carcinogens after conjugation
with glutathione have also been documented (71, 72, 73)
. At
present, there is little information on the detoxification or
activation of nitrosamines by GSTM1, GSTT1, or GSTP1. Another
possibility could be related to dietary anticarcinogens that inhibit
CYP2E1 and are inactivated by GSTM1. An inverse relationship between
high vegetable consumption and low risk of developing esophageal cancer
has been well established (74)
. Of the mechanisms by which
such protection could arise, inhibition of activation and/or induction
of detoxification of carcinogens by certain components such as
isothiocyanates found in cruciferous vegetables were suggested to play
an important role (75)
. It has been shown that
isothiocyanate-containing cruciferous vegetables, including Chinese
cabbage, broccoli, watercress, and their active constituents inhibit
CYP2E1 activity (27
, 76, 77, 78, 79)
. Accordingly, it is
reasonable to assume that protection of esophageal carcinogenesis by
vegetable is at least partially via the CYP2E1 pathway. GSTM1, on the
other hand, rapidly conjugates isothiocyanates with glutathione
(80
, 81)
, diverting these anticarcinogens from inhibition
of phase I and/or induction of phase II enzymes to excretion
(82)
. Therefore, it would be expected that, given an
exposure to esophageal carcinogens and consumption of
isothiocyanate-containing vegetables, subjects with both
CYP2E1 c1/c1 and GSTM1 non-null genotypes could
be more susceptible to developing esophageal cancer.
In conclusion, this study demonstrates a significant association
between CYP2E1 genetic polymorphisms and SCC of the
esophagus in Linxian, China, confirming our previous pilot study
conducted in the same area. In addition, we found that the presence of
GSTM1 gene is also a risk factor for esophageal cancer in
this population, probably because of specific exposure or via a
mechanism of gene-environment interaction relative to dietary
anticarcinogens. Genetic susceptibility factors for SCC of the
esophagus identified in our study could serve as useful biomarkers for
targeting prevention of the cancer.
