NEOPLASIA

Low NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 activity is associated with increased risk of acute leukemia in adults

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an enzyme that detoxifies quinones and reduces oxidative stress. A cysteine-to-threonine (C right-arrow T) substitution polymorphism at nucleotide 609 of the NQO1 complementary DNA (NQO1 C609T) results in a lowering of NQO1 activity. Individuals homozygous for this mutation have no NQO1 activity, and heterozygotes have low to intermediate activity compared with people with wild type. DNA samples from 493 adult de novo acute leukemia patients and 838 matched controls were genotyped for NQO1 C609T. The majority of cases were diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (n = 420); 67 as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); and 6 as other forms of acute leukemia. The frequency of cases with low or null NQO1 activity (heterozygote + homozygous mutant) was significantly higher among total acute leukemia case subjects compared with their matched controls (odds ratio [OR] = 1.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-1.89). Both ALL (OR = 1.93; 95% CI, 0.96-3.87) and AML case subjects (OR = 1.47; 95% CI, 1.13-1.90) exhibited a higher frequency of low or null NQO1 genotypes than controls. For de novo AML, the most significant effect of low or null NQO1 activity was observed among the 88 cases harboring translocations and inversions (OR = 2.39; 95% CI, 1.34-4.27) and was especially high for those harboring inv(16) (OR = 8.13; 95% CI, 1.43-46.42). These findings were confirmed in a second group of 217 de novo AML cases with known cytogenetics. Thus, inheritance of NQO1 C609T confers an increased risk of de novo acute leukemia in adults, implicating quinones and related compounds that generate oxidative stress in producing acute leukemia.
