Abstract

The gene- environment interaction has a major role in disease incidence and health problems, the current study aims to detect the human gene polymorphisms of X-ray Repair Cross-Complementing Group 1(XRCC1) Arg399Gln (rs25487) and Apurinic/Apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease enzyme (APE1) (rs1130409) in alcoholism, alcohol consumption and duration in some Iraqi cases that have three levels of alcohol concentration (sub groups <50, 50-100 and >100 mg/ dl), the results show that the age and BMI were nonsignificant changes, duration and alcohol level were significant differences regarding to alcohol subgroups. The genotyping of XRCC1 showed nonsignificant association with alcoholism in compared with control group (P 0.629, 0.596), and strong association of APE1 with alcoholism (p 0.000), The alcohol level according to XRCC1 genotyping showed that AA has high level of alcohol than AG and GG in non-significant elevation (p 0.966), regarding to APE1 genotyping non-significant difference elevation in wild type than Mutated type (p 0.196) was observed. The distribution of XRCC1 genotyping according to alcoholism subgroups showed significant association (p 0.0461), and non- significant association (p 0.0614) of APE1 distribution. The XRCC1 genotyping belong to duration of alcohol consumptions showed nonsignificant association (p 0.371), and non-significant association observed in The APE1 genotyping (p 0.260). in conclusion; we can conclude that the XRCC1 genotyping didn’t associate with alcoholism and alcohol duration but significant correlated with alcohol level, while the APE1 was strong associated with alcoholism but didn’t associate with alcohol level and duration.

Introduction

The DNA repair system is one of the important vital processes to genome maintenance and stability, numerous enzymes involved in the repair of DNA by different pathways, one of these enzymes is a DNA base-excision repair called human X-Ray Repair Cross-Complementing Group 1gene (XRCC1), the encoded gene located in the chromosome 19q13 [1]. the Human XRCC1 is existing in a different isoenzymes according to amino acid substitution that resulted from SNPs in XRCC1 gene namely Arg194Trp (rs1799782), Arg280His25489), and Arg399Gln (rs25487) [2], the last SNP which formed 399Gln has been shown to be associated with DNA repair capacity reduction, represent by DNA adducts persistence, that lead to different disease and health problems [3-6], on the other hand other isoenzymes Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms still under investigation. Varied activities were utilized by the base-excision repair pathway to remove non-bulky base adducts generated by oxidation, methylation and reduction by oxidative damage or ionizing radiation [7,8].

One of the base excision repair enzyme is Apurinic/Apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease enzyme which encoded by APE1 gene, it has able to prevent transvers of base that formed by oxidized or reduced bases [9- 11] researchers reported about 18 polymorphisms in APE1 gene, notably the Asp148Glu polymorphism was well established belong to its role in the DNA repair activity alteration [12]. The rs1130409 polymorphism in APE1 is the result of T>G, T>C and T>A transition which leads to the substitution of aspartic acid, resulting in loss-of-function of APE1, DNA binding and activity of endonuclease, limitation the interaction with other base excision repair proteins and decreased oxidative damage repair [13]. The wild type of this SNP is TT and Mutated type referred to other genotyping.

Alcohol consuming has been found to be generated free radicals like Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) causes cell component damage as well as lipid peroxidation, and acetaldehyde—that lead to DNA damage that can be repaired by the DNA base-excision repair pathway [14].

Substance abuse is Pathological use of a substance leading to significant complication demonstrated by legal, medical or psychosocial problems. Or use the substance in spite of the harmful consequences and it is one of the leading causes of death among the adolescence and young adult. Alcohol abuse is the commonest type of addiction around the world alcohol uptake produced acetaldehyde is a highly reactive has able to DNA-damaging [15]. In the Asian population the acetaldehyde detoxification is Impaired that may be associated with alcoholrelated cancers [16]. The DNA crosslink repair is used for Cells protection against acetaldehyde-induced damage, the Fanconi Anaemia (FA) is caused by impaired in this cell protection FA is a disease characterized by blood cells production failure and cancer predisposition [17,18]. However, the DNA damage nature stimulates by acetaldehyde and how this is repaired remains under investigations [19].

Current study aims to evolution the Interaction the XRCC1 Arg399Gln (rs25487) polymorphisms with alcohol consumption and duration in some Iraqi alcohol abuse.

Materials and Methods

39 cases of alcohol abuser referred by the judge because of low violation under the effect of alcohol to the forensic laboratory for estimation of alcohol level were included in this study. Alcoholism classified into three subgroups according to alcohol level, included less than 50 mg/dl, 5mg/dl,-100 mg/ dl and more than 100 mg/dl A cross sectional study was suggested for detecting two DNA repair enzymes in alcoholism in Babylon university, in the current study the XRCC1 was targeted at the SNP Arg399Gln (28152) G>A. and APE1 rs1130409, the alcoholism samples enrolled in the current study have (age ranged 19-54 years) and twenty nine healthy individuals (age range 20-40 years) as a control group, samples were taken from cases and control according to the ethical approval of ministry of environment and health in Iraq, All DNA samples were extracted by extraction kit (Favorgen), then the repair genes were detected as a following; the XRCC1 Arg399Gln (28152) G>A polymorphism was studied by CTTPPCR at annealing TM 59ºC for 30 seconds (15).

Discussion

The present output exhibits that there were different factors impacted in the alcohol concentration in Blood as well as sex, BMI, the type of liqueur if alcohol used with food or drugs, like antihistamines and cimetidine (inhibits gastric alcohol dehydrogenase), phenothiazines, and metoclopramide (stimulating gastric emptying thus absorption elevation) [20]. In the current study the subgroup (<50 mg/ dl) has high percentage of samples in alcoholism, then subgroup (50-100 mg/ dl) and finally (>100 mg/ dl), on the other hand the ages of these subgroups were (29-38 years) with duration of alcohol consumption which about 3 years, this lead to thought that alcoholism is really problems among Iraqi young's cusses harmful effects and health problems, investigations clarified that the alcohol uptake for Long-term is a main risk factor of liver disease and lead to liver cirrhosis and dysfunction which stopped carcinogenic compounds detoxification [21]. Notably, in addition to ROS generating and oxidative redox disturbance, ethanol may affect the nutritional status, immune function, DNA damage, that influences the risks for various cancers [22]. The 7,8-dihydro-8- oxoguanine or 8-oxoguanine, 8-oxo-Gua is a major form of DNA oxidative damage [23], the oxidative DNA damage detection used in elucidating the cancer induction mechanisms by alcohol consumption [24, 25]. The other types of alcohol induction DNA damage is acetaldehyde that cause DNA cross link .

All forms of the DNA damages are repaired by different pathways,Hodskinson et al found two replication-coupled pathways repair of the acetaldehyde induction lesions by alcohol uptake. The first pathway operates using excision—analogous to the mechanism used to repair the interstrand crosslinks, and the second requires replication fork convergence. The current finding didn't find an association of XRCC1 with alcoholism in compared with control and this may be because the level ROS in alcoholism in some Iraqi samples didn’t change in comparison with control , also the ROS detoxification mechanism may be contributed in ROS trapping like Glutathioe S-Transferase [26]. Another study found that the XRCC1 polymorphisms have a main role in colorectal cancer risk associated with alcohol consumption [27]. Other researchers suggested that the high alcohol intake may increase colorectal cancer in the individuals have a cooperative action between the 194Trp allele or the 399Gln allele [28].

There was a significant association between XRCC1 genotyping and alcoholism subgroups (levels of alcohol), this association refer to affected XRCC1 genotyping with alcohol level, these findings agree with Yin et al and Songserm et al. [29] that found the individuals with the XRCC1 399Gln/Gln genotype have an important role in colorectal cancer risk associated with alcohol consumption. Rossit et al. agree with current finding, that significant association between the 399Gln polymorphism and the risk of liver cirrhosis in older individuals over the age of 45 years of heavy alcohol uptake [30]. In addition, significant interaction was observed between GG genotype of rs25489 polymorphism in XRCC1 and alcohol drinking to increase the risk of CRC [31]. An allele carriers of rs25487 in XRCC1 showed interaction with alcohol intake to decrease risk of Colorectal Carcinogenesis but AG genotype of rs25487 interacts with smoking to increase the Colorectal Carcinogenesis risk [32].

There were poor information about the impact of APE1 genotyping with The alcoholism, the association of APE1 with alcoholism can be considered as indirect relation, the DNA damage caused by oxidative stress that increased in alcoholism and APE1 gene targeting by Free radicals may be clarified this relation, however, Sun et al [33] found the individuals having genotype of APE1Asp148Glu TT without the habit of alcohol consumption have a 4.13 times increased risk of benzene poisoning for the alcohol user with the genotype of APE1.

The previous studies deal with gene-environment interaction in the disease incidence like alcoholism and smoking habits, the effects of alcohol uptake were varied among the population and its depended on several factors like nutrition, genetic predisposition and gene –environment interaction [34-38].

Conclusion

The current findings concluded that the no-association of the XRCC1 Arg399Gln (rs25487) genotyping with alcoholism, didn’t confirm of XRCC1 with alcohol levels in drunks, strong association with APE 1 (rs1130409) genotyping with alcoholism and didn't associate with duration and alcohol level. However, we need more investigations about other SNPs relations.
