Abstract
Objective
Examine whether DNA repair capacity (DRC) levels are associated with body mass index (BMI) in adult women.
Design and participants
A nested study composed of 539 women without breast cancer (BC) from a case-control BC study in addition to 104 that were recruited later for a total of 643.
Measurements
DRC levels were measured in lymphocytes using a host-cell reactivation assay with a luciferase reporter gene damaged by UVC. This assay measures the efficiency of nucleotide excision repair (NER). Log-binomial regression model was used. The prevalence ratio (PR) was used to evaluate the magnitude of the association between the BMI and DRC levels. An assessment of interaction terms was performed with the likelihood ratio test. The confounding effect was assessed by comparing the point estimates of the crude and adjusted PR.
Results
The 75th percentiles of DRC levels of the women with a BMI between 18 and 25 and > 25 showed statistically significant differences. The prevalence of a DRC ≤ 5 % among women with BMI > 25 is 1.24 (95 % CI: 1.03, 1.48) times the prevalence of having a DRC ≤ 5 % among the women with BMI ≤ 25 after adjustments for different covariates. This excess was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Women with a family history of cancer had an estimated PR of 1.25 (95 % CI, 0.87–1.39; P ≥ 0.05); and women with no family history of cancer, the estimated PR was 1.6 (95 % CI, 1.14–2.22; p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusions
Women with BMI > 25 tend to have lower DRC levels. When having a family history of cancer, the PR of low DRC levels in overweight/obese individuals was not statistically significant. However, the PR of low levels of DRC in overweight/obese individuals with no family history of cancer was statistically significant.
期刊介绍:
Mutation Research (MR) provides a platform for publishing all aspects of DNA mutations and epimutations, from basic evolutionary aspects to translational applications in genetic and epigenetic diagnostics and therapy. Mutations are defined as all possible alterations in DNA sequence and sequence organization, from point mutations to genome structural variation, chromosomal aberrations and aneuploidy. Epimutations are defined as alterations in the epigenome, i.e., changes in DNA methylation, histone modification and small regulatory RNAs.
MR publishes articles in the following areas:
Of special interest are basic mechanisms through which DNA damage and mutations impact development and differentiation, stem cell biology and cell fate in general, including various forms of cell death and cellular senescence.
The study of genome instability in human molecular epidemiology and in relation to complex phenotypes, such as human disease, is considered a growing area of importance.
Mechanisms of (epi)mutation induction, for example, during DNA repair, replication or recombination; novel methods of (epi)mutation detection, with a focus on ultra-high-throughput sequencing.
Landscape of somatic mutations and epimutations in cancer and aging.
Role of de novo mutations in human disease and aging; mutations in population genomics.
Interactions between mutations and epimutations.
The role of epimutations in chromatin structure and function.
Mitochondrial DNA mutations and their consequences in terms of human disease and aging.
Novel ways to generate mutations and epimutations in cell lines and animal models.
