聚氯乙烯工人GST T1,GST M1及CYP2E1基因型與其肝功能之相關研究

The Relationship between the GST T1, GST M1, CYP2E1 Genotype and Abnormal Liver Function in PVC Workers

摘要


Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is hepatotoxic as well as carcinogenic in humans. There are reports that exposure to VCM seems to induce abnormal liver function, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and angiosarcoma of the liver. In vivo, VCM is metabolized by cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) to form chloroethylene oxide (CEO) and chloroactetaldehyde (CAA), both electrophilic metabolites, which may either cause cell damage or are further metabolized and detoxified by glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). This study investigated whether or not the genotypes, CYP2E1, glutathione S-transferase θ (GST T1) and μ (GST M1), correlated the abnormal liver function in vinyl chloride exposed workers. We enrolled 251 workers from 5 polyvinyl chloride plants for this study. The workers who were exposed to VCM were classified into two, high and low exposure groups and the degree of exposure was determined based on their job titles and airborne VCM concentration. The enzyme activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were used as the parameters of liver function. The genotypes, CYP2E1, GST T1 and GST M1, were determined by performing PCR and RFLP on peripheral white blood cell DNA, Other potential risk factors were also ascertained and the confounding effect was adjusted accordingly. Stratified analyses were used to explore the correlation between the alteration of liver function and the genotypes, CYP2E1, GST T1 and GST M1, among the workers exposed to different levels of VCM. The results obtained showed: (1)at low VCM exposure, the odds ratio (OR) of GST T1 non-null genotype on abnormal ALT was 3.8 (95% CI=1.2-14.5) but the CYP2E1 genotype was not associated with abnormal ALT; (2)at high VCM exposure, on the other band, a c2c2 CYP2E1 genotype was associated with increased OR on abnormal ALT (OR=4.8, 95% CI=0.6-34.8) but the GST T1 non-null genotype was not associated with abnormal ALT (OR=0.9, 95% CI=0.2-3,8); and (3)multiple logistic regression also showed strong interactions of the VCM exposure to CYP2E1 as well as to the GST T1 genotype. Thus, These observations suggest that the two genotypes, CYP2E1 and GST T1, may play important roles in the biotransformation of VCM, whose effect leads to liver damage.
