Summary: | Background
Incomplete combustion of wood releases toxic chemicals. Exposure to these chemicals during charcoal production can modulate redox status of cellular system which may further lead to genomic instability and of antioxidant enzymes. Genetic polymorphism may alter the functioning properties of these enzymes and modulate the response to oxidative stress.
Methods
In this study, we analyzed the link between genetic polymorphism and enzyme activity for antioxidant enzymes:
MnSOD
and
GPx-1
in charcoal workers and control population. This study included
77
charcoal workers and
79
demographically matched healthy control subjects. This association was studied using multiple linear regression, adjusted for confounding factors viz. age, consumption habits and exposure duration.
Results
SOD
activity was lower for TT genotype (3.47 ± 0.66; 5.92 ± 1.08) versus CC genotype (3.47 ± 0.66; 6.67 ± 1.60) in control and charcoal workers respectively. Significant lower
GPx-1
activity was found in leu/leu genotype (7.25 ± 0.38; 3.59 ± 0.57) when compared to pro/pro genotype (7.78 ± 0.59; 4.28 ± 0.71) and pro/leu genotype (8.48 ± 0.34; 4.30 ± 0.76) in control population and charcoal workers respectively. A significant difference in the levels of 1-Hydroxypyrene (biomarker of exposure) and
SOD
and
GPx-1
activity (biomarkers of oxidative stress) was evident in exposed group in comparison to the control one.
Conclusion
Collectively, our findings suggested that PAH influenced the mode of action of
SOD
and
GPx-1
which were impacted by polymorphism in
SOD
and
GPx-1
gene. Hence, polymorphism of
MnSOD and GPx-1
genes were found to play a modulatory role in human susceptibility to oxidative damage induced by wood smoke in charcoal workers. |
