This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) and their conjugates are effective inhibitors against lung tumorigenesis in animal models. The chemopreventive activities of ITCs have been attributed mainly to selective inhibition of cytochrome-P450s and induction of phase II enzymes. In recent years, cell culture studies have shown a potentially important new mechanism of tumor inhibition by ITCs, involving induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest mediated through activation of signal transduction pathways. These studies suggested that ITCs may inhibit tumorigenesis when administered during post-initiation phases. A recent epidemiological study has shown that ITC intake is highly protective in individuals with GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes. This study is designed to investigate the role of glutathione transferase (GST) polymorphism in ITC metabolism in humans.
