Stroke is defined as the acute neurological cerebrovascular disease based on interruptions to blood flow in the brain. These interruptions are caused by loss of blood supply due to vessel bursts or vessel blocked by clotting. Atherosclerosis, a main cause of stroke, is blockage of endothelium layer of arteries and losing the flexibility of tissue. The oxidative stress is known as a risk factor for atherosclerosis. The increased free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased antioxidant level cause the oxidative stress and this situation damages the tissue on brain and blood vessels. Oxidative stress is influenced by imbalance in production of phase II enzymes which are responsible for xenobiotic mechanism in terms of decreasing oxidative stress. Glutathione S-transferase omega 1 and omega 2 are members of phase II enzymes family which catalyze detoxification reactions. The polymorphisms, Ala140Asp (C→A) in GSTO1 gene and Asn142Asp (A→G) in GSTO2 gene may cause a decrease in enzyme activity and this situation promotes oxidative stress damage in blood vessels. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible association between GSTO1 Ala140Asp and GSTO2 Asn142Asp SNPs and ischemic stroke risk in Turkish population. The study population includes 239 patients and 130 controls and both polymorphisms were determined by PCR/RFLP method. Conventional risk factors for ischemic stroke such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and smoking were found significantly higher in patients compared to controls (Odds Ratios; OR=3.35, OR=2.614, OR=4.191 and OR=2.662, respectively). Mutant allele ‘A’ frequencies for Ala140Asp polymorphism of GSTO1 gene were calculated as 0.358 for patients and 0.342 for controls. For the Asn142Asp SNP of GSTO2 gene, the mutant allele ‘G’ frequencies were found 0.370 for patients and 0.404 for controls. There was no statistically significant difference between patients and controls in terms of allele frequencies. Detailed analyses have shown that stroke risk can change depending on the genotypes of GSTO1 and GSTO2 genes within conventional risk factors. For Ala140Asp SNP, the risk of having stroke is significantly lower within hypertensive subgroup and obesity subgroup when the individual carrying the mutant allele (OR=2.24 for hypertensive and OR=2.75 for obesity subgroup). Besides, having mutant allele increased the stroke risk for diabetics and smokers (OR=3.873 for diabetics and OR=3.55 for smokers). As regard to Asn142Asp SNP, the mutant allele caused an increase in stroke risk for people with obesity while decrease in diabetics (OR=9.09 for obesity and OR=2.4 for diabetics). In addition, the wild type allele increased the stroke risk for smokers (OR=3.171). Logistic regression analysis revealed that hypertension, smoking, obesity and HDL were significant predictors of stroke. Hypertension, smoking and obesity increased the stroke risk (OR= 3.043, OR=3.258 and OR=2.593, respectively) while HDL had protective role (OR=0.270). In this study, the association between Ala140Asp of GSTO1 and Asn142Asp of GSTO2 genetic polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk in Turkish population was investigated for the first time. No significant difference was found between patient and control groups in terms of C and A allele frequencies in GSTO1 Ala140Asp polymorphism and A and G allele frequencies in GSTO2 Asn142Asp polymorphism. However, different genotypes of GSTO1 and GSTO2 considering the Ala140Asp and Asn142Asp SNPs have effect on stroke risk in conventional subgroups of hypertension, diabetes, smoking and obesity.

Genetic polymorphism of vitamin D3 metabolising cytochrome p450 (CYPS) enyzmes and risk of ischemic stroke in Turkish population
Öner, Tuğçe; Adalı, Orhan; Can Demirdöğen, Birsen; Department of Biochemistry (2015)
Stroke, as a neurological disorder, is defined as cessation or severe reduction of blood flow to the brain due to a clot or burst of blood vessel in the brain. Atherosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries due to accumulation of plaques in the vessels. Vitamin D deficiency is known as important risk factor in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, which contributes to stroke development. Incidence of stroke is affected by environmental and genetic risk factors. So, genetic variations including single nucleotid...
Polymorphisms of epoxide hydrolase genes and ischemic stroke risk in Turkish population
Miçooğulları, Yağmur; Adalı, Orhan; Can Demirdöğen, Birsen; Department of Biology (2011)
Stroke is characterized with loss of one or more functions of the body resulted by inadequate blood supply to the brain. Most of the cases result from a blood clot forms on an atherosclerotic plaque in the brain which is called as ischemic stroke. Structure of the arteries and vascular tone are listed in major determinants in the development of the disorder. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH, EPHX2) catalyzes conversion of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids to inactive diol metabolites. EETs are potent vasodilators tha...
Investigation of Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) expression and activity in mouse with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Arçak, Deniz; Adalı, Orhan; Evin, Emre; Department of Biology (2022-5-11)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) of unknown etiopathogenesis is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. It mainly destroys myelin in the brain and spinal cord. Non-traumatic injuries have been observed in this disease for young adults. Various factors affect MS, but oxidative stress is one of the most important causes of demyelination. Glutathione S- Transferases (GSTs) can be described as a versatile enzyme family of eukaryotic and prokaryotic phase II metabolic isoenzymes. They have enzymati...
Association analysis of Glutathione S-transferase omega-1 and omega-2 genetic polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk in a Turkish population
Bilgin, Esra; Can Demirdöğen, Birsen; Ozcelik, Aysun Turkanoglu; Demirkaya, Seref; Adalı, Orhan (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-01)
Objectives: Oxidative stress is a known risk factor for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the main cause of ischemic stroke. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) omega-1 and omega-2, members of phase II enzymes, play a role in the antioxidant system. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), C419A and A424G in GST omega genes can cause a decrease in enzyme activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between these polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk in a Turkish population.
Association analysis of cholesterol 7-alpha hydroxylase (CYP7A1)and cholesterol 24-hydroxlase (CYP46A1) genetic polymorphisms and multiple sclerosis risk in Turkish population
Sezer, Eda; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Under the effects of certain environmental factors, MS develops in genetically susceptible individuals. People with MS have significantly lower vitamin D levels. UV-B radiation catalyzes the photo-conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol, produced in cholesterol production pathway, to vitamin D in the skin. Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) in the liver and Cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) in the brain are resp...
