Rapid metabolic phenotypes for acetyltransferase and cytochrome P4501A2 and putative exposure to food-borne heterocyclic amines increase the risk for colorectal cancer or polyps

Abstract

The metabolic activation of food-borne heterocyclic amines to colon carcinogens in humans is hypothesized to occur via N-oxidation followed by O-acetylation to form the N-acetoxy arylamine that binds to DNA to give carcinogen-DNA adducts. These steps are catalyzed by hepatic cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) and acetyltransferase-2 (NAT-2), respectively, which are known to be polymorphic in humans. On the basis of this proposed metabolic activation pathway, patients at greatest risk to develop colorectal cancer or nonfamilial polyps should be those who possess both the rapid NAT-2 and rapid CYP1A2 phenotypes and are exposed to high dietary levels of carcinogenic heterocyclic amines. Using a method that involves caffeine administration and high pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of urinary metabolites, we have determined the CYP1A2 and NAT-2 phenotypes of 205 controls and 75 cancer/polyp cases. Exposure information was obtained using a dietary and health habits questionnaire. Both the rapid CYP1A2 and rapid NAT2 phenotypes were each slightly more prevalent in cases versus controls (57% and 52% versus 41% and 45%, respectively). However, the combined rapid CYP1A2-rapid NAT-2 phenotype was found in 35% of cases and only 16% of the controls, giving an odds ratio of 2.79 (P = 0.002). Univariate analysis of the questionnaire indicated that age, rapid-rapid phenotype, and consumption of well done red meat were associated with increased risk of colorectal neoplasia. Furthermore, a logistic regression model that included age (as a continuous variable), consumption of well done red meat, and rapid-rapid phenotype as independent covariates gave odds ratios of 1.08, 2.08, and 2.91, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
