Aim. The aim of our study was to assess whether selected single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP1A1 and 2E1, GSTM1, GSTT1, and SULT1A1 influence susceptibility towards HCC, considering their interaction with cigarette smoking. Methods. We recruited HCC cases and controls among patients admitted to the hospital "Agostino Gemelli," from January 2005 until July 2010. Odds ratios (OR) of HCC were derived from unconditional multiple logistic regression. Gene-gene and gene-smoking interaction were quantified by computing the attributable proportion (AP) due to biological interaction. Results. The presence of any CYP2E1 (*) 5B variant allele (OR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.06-0.71) and CYP2E1 (*) 6 variant allele (OR: 0.08; 95% CI: 0.01-0.33) was inversely related to HCC. There was a borderline increased risk among carriers of combined CYP1A1 (*) 2A and SULT1A1 variant alleles (OR: 1.67; 95% CI: 0.97-3.24). A significant biological interaction was observed between GSTT1 and smoking (AP = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.001-0.815), with an OR of 3.13 (95% CI: 1.69-5.82), and borderline significant interaction was observed for SULT1A1 and smoking (AP = 0.36; 95% CI: -0.021-0.747), with an OR of 3.05 (95% CI: 1.73-5.40). Conclusion. CYP2E1 (*) 5B and CYP2E1 (*) 6 polymorphisms have a favourable effect on the development of HCC, while polymorphisms of GSTT1 and SULT1A1 might play role in increasing the susceptibility among smokers.

Hypercholesterolemia, one of the most common lipid metabolic diseases, may cause severe complications and even death. However, the effect of hypercholesterolemia on drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters remains unclear. In this report, we established a rat model of diet-induced hypercholesterolemia.

Hereditary breast cancer accounts for 5-10% of all breast cancer cases. So far, known genetic risk factors account for only 50% of the breast cancer genetic component and almost a quarter of hereditary cases are carriers of pathogenic mutations in BRCA1/2 genes. Hence, the genetic basis for a significant fraction of familial cases remains unsolved.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is a commonly used over-the-counter drug for its analgesic and antipyretic effects. However, APAP overdose leads to severe APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) and even death as a result of the accumulation of -acetyl--benzoquinone imine, the toxic metabolite of APAP generated by cytochrome P450s (P450s). Long noncoding RNAs HNF1 antisense RNA 1 (HNF1-AS1) and HNF4 antisense RNA 1 (HNF4-AS1) are regulatory RNAs involved in the regulation of P450 expression in both mRNA and protein levels.
