Role of glutathione S-transferase genetic polymorphisms in persons with liver damage due to microcystin exposure
Objective To study the role of genetic polymorphisms of glutathione Stransferases (GSTT1
GSTM1) in persons with liver damage due to microcystin (MC) exposure. Methods Concentrations of MC in drinking water and aquatic products in Fuling District (Chongqing
China) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
and 81 persons with liver damage were randomly selected as an observation group and 92 healthy persons served as a control group. Genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1 and GSTT1 were assayed by multiplex PCR. Difference in genotypes was detected by Chi square test. Results The concentration of MC in drinking water was higher than the national standard in the past 4 consecutive years
and the positive MC rate was 100% for aquatic products. The frequency of GSTM1 null genotype was 43.2% in observation group and 47.8% in control group (P0.05). The frequency of GSTT1 null genotype was 60.5% in observation group and 39.1% in control group (P0.05). The percentage of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes was 29.6% in observation group and 39.1% in control group (P0.05). Conclusion GSTT1 null genotype may be the susceptible factor for liver damage in persons exposed to MC. GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes may increase the risk of developing liver damage in persons exposed to MC.
