Objective: We examined whether polymorphisms of CYP1A1, which plays a role in the metabolic activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), confer an increased risk of lung cancer in lifetime non-smoking Chinese women.

Methods: A total of 126 incident lung cancer cases, of which 87.7 were pathologically confirmed, and 162 age-matched hospital controls were included. CYP1A1 MspI and Ile(462)Val polymorphisms were genotyped and tested for association with this disease.

Results: An elevated risk of lung cancer was observed among individuals with the MspI CC (OR=1.7, 95 CI=0.9-3.3) and Ile(462)Val ValVal genotypes (OR=2.8, 95 CI=1.1-7.6). After stratifying by environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, the risk of lung cancer associated with both polymorphisms was higher among individuals with lower exposure to ETS, compared with those who reported at least weekly exposure. Individuals with the MspI CC genotype showed a two-fold higher risk of lung cancer if they were also null for either GSTM1 or T1 (OR=2.3, 95CI=1.0-5.0 and OR=2.7, 95 CI=1.1-6.9, respectively, compared to other genotype combinations combined).

Conclusions: CYP1A1 is a susceptibility gene for lung cancer among non-smoking Asian women and this association can be influenced by ETS exposure and genetic variation at GST genes.

Feasibility of detecting non-small cell lung cancer using exhaled breath condensate metabolomics.

J Breath Res

School of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ocean University of China, 5 Yushan Rd, Qingdao, Shandong, 266003, CHINA.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the world, and early detection of lung cancer remains a challenge. The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) from lung and trachea can be collected totally noninvasively. In this study, our aim is to identify differential metabolites between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and control EBC samples and discriminate NSCLC group from control group by orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) models.

Substantial epidemiological evidence suggests a significant correlation between particulate matter 2.5 (PM) and lung cancer. However, the mechanism underlying this association needs to be further elucidated.

A previous study classifies solid tumors based on collagen deposition and immune infiltration abundance, identifying a refractory subtype termed armored & cold tumors, characterized by elevated collagen deposition and diminished immune infiltration. Beyond its impact on immune infiltration, collagen deposition also influences tumor angiogenesis. This study systematically analyzes the association between immuno-collagenic subtypes and angiogenesis across diverse cancer types.

Breath analysis is increasingly recognized as a powerful noninvasive diagnostic technique, and a plethora of exhaled volatile biomarkers have been associated with various diseases. However, traditional analytical methodologies are not amenable to high-throughput diagnostic applications at the point of need. An optical spectroscopic technique, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), mostly used in the research setting for liquid sample analysis, has recently been applied to breath-based diagnostics.

The increasing shift from cannabis smoking to cannabis vaping is largely driven by the perception that vaping to form an aerosol represents a safer alternative to smoking and is a form of consumption appealing to youth. Herein, we compared the chemical composition and receptor-mediated activity of cannabis smoke extract (CaSE) to cannabis vaping extract (CaVE) along with the biological response in human bronchial epithelial cells. Chemical analysis using HPLC and GC/MS revealed that cannabis vaping aerosol contained fewer toxicants than smoke; CaSE and CaVE contained teratogens, carcinogens, and respiratory toxicants.
