The multifaceted role of glutathione S-transferases in cancer
Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are phase II detoxifying enzymes involved in the maintenance of cell integrity, oxidative stress and protection against DNA damage by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione to a wide variety of electrophilic substrates. Though enzymes of the glutathione synthesis and salvage pathways have been well characterized in the past, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding of their independent and coordinate regulatory mechanisms in carcinogenesis. The present review discusses implication of GST in cancer development and progression, gene polymorphism, drug resistance, signaling and epigenetic regulation involving their role in cancer. It is anticipated that GST especially the GSTP1 class can be developed as a biomarker either used alone or in combination with other biomarkers for early cancer detection and/or diagnosis as well as for future targeted preventive and therapeutic interventions with dietary agents.
Keywords: Biomarkers; Carcinogenesis; Drug resistance; Glutathione-S transferase; Tumor suppressor.
