    Abstract:
    The CYP1A1, CYP2D6 and GSTM1 genes encode biotransforming enzymes involved in activation and detoxification of xenobiotics. Metabolically activated chemical compounds may interact with DNA and form adducts. In this study, the effect of the GSTM1, CYP1A1 exon 7 and CYP2D6 polymorphisms on DNA adduct levels was studied in 170 healthy volunteers. DNA adducts levels were measured by 32P-postlabelling in mononuclear white blood cells (WBC, lymphocytes and monocytes) and granulocytes collected in summer and winter. The influence of the genotype on the level of DNA adducts in both types of WBCs was observed only in summer samples. Individuals with GSTM1 deficient (null) genotype had significantly elevated level of adducts in mononuclear WBCs (p = 0.045) and granulocytes (p = 0.031) compared to GSTM1 positives. Higher adduct levels in carriers of combined GSTM1(null)/CYP1A1-Ile/Val genotype were found in both types of WBCs when compared to GSTM1(+)/CYP1A1-Ile/Ile genotype carriers (p = 0.046 in granulocytes, p = 0.092 in mononuclear WBCs). CYP2D6 wild-type homozygotes (EMs) and heterozygotes (HEMs) were shown to have significantly higher mononuclear WBC DNA adduct levels than mutant homozygotes (PMs) (p = 0.037 and p = 0.014). When confounding factors associated with PAH exposure were taken into account a statistically significant effect of CYP1A1 exon 7 polymorphism on DNA adduct levels was found (p = 0.012 in mononuclear WBCs, p = 0.043 in granulocytes). In a subgroup of current smokers (n = 95) high DNA adduct levels in granulocytes were associated with GSTM1(null) genotype, and increased adduct levels in mononuclear WBCs correlated with CYP2D6 EM and HEM genotypes. In winter samples the association between the genotype and DNA adduct levels was not observed.
