Aminobiphenyls (ABPs) in tobacco have been implicated in bladder cancer etiology in smokers. N-Acetylation of ABPs in the liver, predominantly by the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) isozyme, represents a detoxification pathway, whereas O-acetylation of N-hydroxy-ABPs in the bladder, predominantly by the N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) isozyme, represents a bioactivation pathway. We and others have demonstrated that NAT2 phenotype affects 3- and 4-ABP-hemoglobin adduct levels (higher levels in slow acetylators), which are considered valid biomarkers of the internal dose of ABP to the bladder. We have also shown that NAT1 genotype (NAT1*10 allele) is associated with increased DNA adduct levels in urothelial tissue and higher risk of bladder cancer among smokers. It is not known whether NAT1*10 genotype influences ABP-hemoglobin adduct levels. Therefore, we assessed 403 primarily non-Hispanic white residents of Los Angeles County for their NAT2 acetylator phenotype, NAT1*10 acetylator genotype, and 3- and 4-ABP-hemoglobin adduct levels. Eighty-two subjects were current tobacco smokers of varying intensities. Tobacco smokers had significantly higher mean 3- and 4-ABP-hemoglobin adduct levels relative to nonsmokers. The levels increased with increased amounts smoked per day (two-sided, P0.0001 in all cases). With adjustment for NAT1 genotype and race, the smoking-adjusted geometric mean level of 3-ABP-hemoglobin adducts in NAT2 slow acetylators was 47% higher than that in NAT2 rapid acetylators (P = 0.01). The comparable value for 4-ABP-hemoglobin adducts was 17% (P = 0.02). In contrast, no association between NAT1*10 genotype and 3- or 4 ABP-hemoglobin adduct levels was observed after adjustment for NAT2 phenotype, smoking, and race. The present study suggests that the impact of the NAT1*10 genotype on 3- and 4-ABP-hemoglobin adducts is noninformative on the possible association between NAT1 activity and bladder cancer risk. |
