Oxidative stress plays a major role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis which is responsible for stroke. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) detoxify metabolites produced by oxidative stress within the cell and protect the cells against injury. This study aimed to investigate the association of polymorphisms in GSTT1, GSTM1 genes and GST activity with ischemic stroke risk. Patients had almost the same GST activity as that of controls. No significant differences were found between patients and controls in terms of GSTT1 null, GSTM1 null and GSTT1/GSTM1 double null genotype frequencies. Besides, both patients and controls with double GSTT1/GSTM1 null genotypes had the lowest serum GST activities. Compared to the present genotypes, GSTT1 null (OR = 4.888; P = 0.006) and GSTM1 null (OR = 2.383; P = 0.011) genotype groups contained relatively more hypertensive stroke patients. This study showed that GSTT1 and GSTM1 null genotypes, together with hypertension, may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke.

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.
Genetic polymorphisms of vitamin D3 metabolizing CYP24A1 and CYP2R1 enzymes in Turkish patients with ischemic stroke

Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is known as an important risk factor in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, which contributes to stroke development. Genetic variations including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in enzymes involved in vitamin D metabolism can affect susceptibility to the development of stroke. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms of vitamin D metabolizing enzymes (rs927650 SNP in CYP24A1, and rs10741657 SNP in CYP2R1 genes,) and i...
Aromatase and C/EBP expression after global ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat hippocampus
Kelicen, P.; Burul-Bozkurt, N.; Cincioglu, M.; Dagdeviren, M.; Pekiner, C. (2009-08-15)
Background and aims: Global ischemia after cardiac arrest, intraoperative hypoxia/hypotension, or hemorrhagic shock is one of the causes of brain injury, resulting in severe neurological and neurobehavioral deficit. Since neurodegeneration can be protected from by local aromatase expression and estrogen synthesis can be neuroprotective in the ischemia/reperfusion process, aromatase may be a potential target to study reperfusion injury after brain ischemia. We investigated the expression of aromatase and C/E...
Paraoxonase/arylesterase ratio, PON1 192Q/R polymorphism and PON1 status are associated with increased risk of ischernic stroke

Objectives: In recent years, importance of enzyme activity measurements, in addition to genotyping, in epidemiological studies relating paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and vascular disease was emphasized. This is the first report evaluating paraoxonase and arylesterase activities as risk factors for ischemic stroke. In addition, PON1 192Gln(Q)/Arg(R) and 55Leu(L)/Met(M) polymorphisms were also analyzed.
Association of cytochrome P4502E1 and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 genetic polymorphisms with susceptibility to large artery atherosclerotic ischemic stroke: a case-control study in the Turkish population

Stroke, a major cause of death and disability, is described as interruption or severe reduction of blood flow in cerebral arteries. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and carotid atherosclerosis is a risk factor for stroke. Combination of multiple environmental and genetic risk factors is thought to increase stroke. Therefore, investigation of the polymorphisms of enzymes is of crucial importance to determine the molecular etiology of the disease. To test this hy...
