英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental
contaminants due to significant contributions from incomplete combustion of
fossil fuels and other organic materials. Exposure to PAHs has been associated
with lung and skin cancer in occupational setting and a potential increased
risk of cancer in humans exposed to PAHs at low ambient levels is now becoming
a major public concern. In order to address this problem, a variety of
biomarkers have been developed to index the exposure levels or biological
effects of PAHs. However, the validity of their applications in risk
assessment of PAHs at low levels is uncertain. This proposed study will mainly
focus on validating these biomarkers in a Chinese population with broad ranges
of exposures to PAHs. The biomarkers to be validated include urinary
1-hydroxypyrene, DNA and protein (hemoglobin and albumin) adducts as well as
p53 protein. In addition, the polymorphisms of genes, including CYP1A1,
microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), GSTM1, and p53 genes, will be identified
to assess gene-environment interactions. For this purpose, we will conduct a
study with 5 projects included. The specific aims of this study are: (1) to
determine if these candidate markers can at least reliably detect differences
between workers with relatively high levels of exposure and unexposed
subjects; (2) to examine the reproducibility of these biomarkers and to assess
their inter-and intra-individual variabilities; (3) to estimate the effective
half-lives of the exposure markers and to evaluate whether they relate to the
most current exposure or to integrated exposures over a period of time; (4) to
determine whether these markers can be reliably used to differentiate between
unexposed subjects and exposed subjects at low ambient levels and to
characterize their exposure-response relationships; (5) to investigate the
specificity of these biomarkers and to identify possible effects of general
confounding factors, such as smoking, diet, age, and gender on the levels of
these markers; (6) To evaluate how gene polymorphisms of CYP1A1, GSTM1, mEH,
and p53 interact with PAHs exposure in relation to the levels of all candidate
biomarkers. The ultimate goal of this study is to determine whether or not
these biomarkers can be useful as markers for risk assessment in humans
exposed to PAHs at low ambient levels in future large scale epidemiological
studies.
