| Abstract | Tobacco smoking is a leading cause of death and disability. Interindividual variability in DNA adducts has been shown in subjects exposed to similar amounts of environmental carcinogens, including tobacco smoke. We have investigated the effects of smoking on DNA adducts in the nasal epithelium instead of peripheral blood in 42 volunteers, considering a panel of at-risk alleles by 32P-postlabeling and PCR. In detail, we have studied the association of DNA damage with tobacco smoke habits considering genes involved in DNA repair, including X-ray repair cross complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) Arg194Trp, XRCC protein 3 Thr241Met, and excision repair cross complementation group 2/xeroderma pigmentosum D (ERCC2/XPD) Lys751Gln polymorphisms. Then, we have analysed the combinations of the variant alleles of XRCC1 and ERCC2/XPD together with the wild type allele of XRCC3 by calculating the sum of at-risk alleles for lung cancer. DNA adducts were significantly higher in smokers with respect to nonsmokers (P < 0.001). An overall significant increase in adducts in heavy and long term smokers was found (P-values for trend <0.001, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis showed that adducts were linearly correlated to the number of cig per day (P < 0.001). Individuals with XRCC1 194Trp variant have a significant increment of DNA damage (P < 0.05), whereas XRCC3 241Met variant was inversely associated with adducts (P < 0.05). A null association was found with ERCC2/XPD. The levels of DNA adducts in participants with ≥4 at-risk alleles were two-fold increased with respect to those with one or fewer alleles (P < 0.01). A significant trend was observed (P-value for trend <0.05). Particularly, these results indicate a functional role for the XRCC1 and XRCC3 polymorphisms in genotoxic susceptibility related to the sensitivity to mutagens contained in tobacco smoke. Interindividual differences in at-risk alleles influence significantly the repair of damage in a tissue target of tobacco smoking-associated carcinogenesis. Our results support a functional role for the studied polymorphisms related to differences in cellular response to tobacco smoke mutagens. Phenotypes characterized by high levels of damage in susceptible individuals may be due to disorders in mechanisms designed to maintain cell homeostasis and DNA integrity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
