Despite convincing evidence that 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP)a heterocyclic amine generated by cooking meats at high temperaturesis carcinogenic in animal models, it remains unclear whether PhIP exposure leads to increased cancer risk in humans. PhIP-DNA adduct levels were measured in specimens from 534 prostate cancer case-control pairs nested within a historical cohort of men with histopathologically benign prostate specimens. We estimated the overall and race-stratified risk of subsequent prostate cancer associated with higher adduct levels. PhIP-DNA adduct levels in benign prostate were significantly higher in Whites than African Americans (0.274 optical density units (OD) +/- 0.059 vs. 0.256 OD +/- 0.054; p<0.0001). Prostate cancer risk for men in the highest quartile of PhIP-DNA adduct levels was modestly increased [odds ratio (OR)=1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.76-2.07]. In subset analyses, the highest risk estimates were observed in White patients diagnosed more than 4 years after cohort entry (OR=2.74; 95% CI=1.01-7.42) or under age 65 (OR=2.80; 95% CI=0.87-8.97). In Whites, cancer risk associated with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia combined with elevated PhIP-DNA adduct levels (OR=3.89; 95% CI=1.56-9.73) was greater than risk associated with either factor alone. Overall, elevated levels of PhIP-DNA adducts do not significantly increase prostate cancer risk. However, our data show that White men have higher PhIP-DNA adduct levels in benign prostate tissue than African American men, and suggest that in certain subgroups of White men high PhIP-DNA adduct levels may predispose to an increased risk for prostate cancer.
