OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between gene variants of the detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes glutathione transferase M1 (GSTM1) and glutathione transferase A1 (GSTA1) and the extent of oxidative damage in patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder. METHODS: GSTM1 deletion polymorphism was identified by polymerase chain reaction, and the restriction fragment length polymorphism method was used for the single nucleotide polymorphism of GSTA1. Enzyme immunoassay was used to determine markers of DNA (8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) and lipid (8-epiprostaglandin F2α) oxidative damage in the urine of 80 TCC patients and 60 age-matched controls. RESULTS: Urinary 8-OHdG and 8-epi-prostaglandin F2α concentrations in TCC patients were significantly higher than in controls (P=0.043 and 0.001, respectively). GSTM1 and GSTA1 polymorphisms influence vulnerability to both DNA and lipid oxidation, with the GSTM1-null gene variant having a more pronounced effect. A significant effect of combined GSTM1 and GSTA1 genotypes on the extent of oxidative damage was found only for 8-OHdG (P=0.018). In addition, TCC patients with the most malignant tumors exhibited significantly higher frequencies of GSTM1-null or GSTA1-low activity genotypes, associated with a twofold increase in urinary 8-OHdG concentration (P=0.044). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that absent GSTM1 or reduced GSTA1 antioxidant activity may increase the accumulation of oxidative DNA damage, thereby contributing to the malignant potential of TCC.
