[Relationship between the gene polymorphisms of oxidative metabolism enzyme of exogenous chemicals and the susceptibility to neoplasms].

The gene polymorphisms of human being will cause abnormality in the expression of corresponding gene, which is closely related to the physiological function and disease. Cytochrome P450, cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase are vital enzymes that mediated the oxidative metabolism process for exogenous chemicals, and play important roles in activating the indirect carcinogens and metabolizing clinical drug; the gene polymorphisms of these enzymes can change the expression and activity of enzymes, affect the metabolic transformation of carcinogens, and then give rise to difference in the susceptibility to neoplasms. Studying the relationship between the gene polymorphisms of oxidative metabolism enzyme for endogenous and exogenous chemicals and the susceptibility to neoplasms can provide scientific basis for probing into the genetic markers and the pathogenesis of neoplasms.
