An association between functional polymorphisms of genes resulting in decreased detoxification of carcinogens or DNA repair and aberrant promoter methylation is an attractive hypothesis in lung carcinogenesis. The genotypes at polymorphic sites of the glutathione S-transferase (GMT) M1 (null/wildtype) and P1 (nucleotide 2627 A/G), myeloperoxidase (MPO) (nucleotide -463 G/A), X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) (nucleotides 26304 C/T; 28152 G/A), and NADPH quinine oxidoreductase (NQO1) (nucleotide 609 C/T) genes in 75 Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were characterized with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results were correlated with aberrant methylation of the CDKN2A (alias p16(INK4A)), retinoic acid receptor beta (RARB), methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), and death-associated-protein (DAP) kinase genes in the tumors. In comparison with an age-matched control, none of the polymorphisms were associated with increased lung cancer risks. In mate patients, however, the MPO -463 GG homozygous state was associated with CDKN2A (alias p16(INK4A)) methylation (odds ratio OR = 3.63, 95% confidence interval CI = 1.26-10.51), and the XRCCI 26304 T allele in the heterozygous/homozygous state was associated with methylation of CDKN2A (OR = 6.13, 95% CI = 1.55-24.16) and RARB (OR = 7.67, 95% CI = 1.62-36.18). In female patients, the GSTP1 G allele in the heterozygous/homozygous state was associated with RARB methylation (OR = 18.0, 95% CI = 0.76-427.29). These results showed that functional deficiencies in metabolic pathways that protect cells from carcinogen induced DNA damage might be linked to aberrant promoter methylation of the CDKN2A and RARB genes during lung carcinogenesis.
