Abstract
Production of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been banned since 2001 but health risks from exposure persist. PCBs are metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes, including CYP2B6. However, the link between CYP2B6 gene polymorphisms and PCB metabolisms is poorly characterized. This study investigated the relationships among serum levels of major indicator PCBs and hydroxylated PCBs (OH-PCBs), which are PCB metabolites, and polymorphisms in CYP2B6. Blood samples (n = 129) were analyzed for single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP2B6 (p.Q172H and p.K262R), and the corresponding haplotypes (*1, *4, *6) were determined. Concentrations of PCBs and OH-PCBs were determined using gas chromatography and mass spectrometer. Congener-specific variations in PCB metabolism were associated with different CYP2B6 genotypes, particularly * 1/* 4 (hypothesized to increased expression) and * 6/* 6 (hypothesized to decreased expression). For certain PCBs, the * 1/* 4 genotype was linked to increased metabolite-to-parent compound ratios, while * 6/* 6 was associated with decreased ratios, as observed for PCB146 (β = 0.192, 95 % CI: [0.100, 0.283], p < 0.0001 for *1/*4; β = −0.235, 95 % CI: [–0.366, –0.105], p = 0.001 for *6/*6). However, other PCBs, such as PCB170 and PCB183, exhibited opposite or more complex patterns. Our findings indicate intricate effects of CYP2B6 gene polymorphisms on PCB metabolism and highlight the potential for genotype-specific risks in PCB-related toxicity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
