▶Genetic variability in the metabolism of the tobacco‐specific nitrosamine 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanone (NNK) to 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanol (NNAL)AssociationN=92Monica Ter‐Minassian et al.(2012)· International Journal of Cancer
This candidate gene study examined genetic polymorphisms in NNK (tobacco-specific nitrosamine) metabolism pathways and their association with urinary NNAL (NNK metabolite) levels in 92 current smokers (39 lung cancer cases, 53 controls). Three HSD11B1 SNPs (rs2235543, rs3753519, rs10863782) in intron 1 were significantly associated with decreased NNAL levels, with rs2235543 showing the strongest association (p=1.37E-07, beta=-0.27 to -0.39). AKR1C4 rs7083869 also showed association with decreased NNAL (p=0.019), while CYP2E1 rs915907 showed borderline significance under the dominant model (p=0.048).
About GIPR
This gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor for gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), which was originally identified as an activity in gut extracts that inhibited gastric acid secretion and gastrin release, but subsequently was demonstrated to stimulate insulin release in the presence of elevated glucose. Mice lacking this gene exhibit higher blood glucose levels with impaired initial insulin response after oral glucose load. Defect in this gene thus may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes.
