Hypomethylation of the GSTM1 Promoter Is Associated With Ovarian Endometriosis
Is the methylation status of the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) promoter region altered in patients with ovarian endometriosis, and does this affect the expression of GSTM1 in their endometrial tissues?The promoter region of GSTM1 was significantly hypomethylated in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium of patients with ovarian endometriosis and ...

Evaluation of associations of GSTM1/GSTT1 null genotypes with the susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration: A meta-analysis [PDF]
Background: The relationship between glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and T1 (GSTT1) null genotypes (homozygotes for the null alleles) and the susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) have been reported and revealed inconsistent ...

CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Use of site-directed mutagenesis of allele-specific PCR primers to identify the GSTM1 A, GSTM1 B, GSTM1 A,B and GSTM1 null polymorphisms at the glutathione S-transferase, GSTM1 locus [PDF]
We describe the identification of the GSTM1 null, GSTM1 A, GSTM1 B and GSTM1 A,B polymorphisms at the glutathione S-transferase GSTM1 locus using a single-step PCR method. Target DNA was amplified using primers to intron 6 and exon 7 with site-directed mutagenesis being used to introduce a restriction site in DNA amplified from GSTM1 *A, thereby ...

Association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 Null Genotypes with Toluene Diisocyanate-Induced Asthma
Background. Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) causes occupational asthma by generating oxidative stress, leading to tissue injury and inflammation. Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are detoxifying enzymes that eliminate oxidative stress.

Genetic Polymorphisms of Glutathione S-Transferase and Risk of Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Case-Control Study and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a complex disease that is linked to genetic and environmental factors. The gluthatione S-transferase (GST) is a family of enzymes that play a crucial role in the detoxification of carcinogens.

The Catalytic Activity of GSTM1 In vitro is Independent of MAPK8
Background: Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are phase II metabolic enzymes crucial for the metabolism of electrophilic drugs. Additionally, several GST isoforms are involved in protein- protein interaction with mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), modulating apoptosis pathways.
