Association of serum superoxide dismutase activity and the incidence of colorectal cancer in a nested case-control study.
Cancer epidemiology(2023)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that degrades superoxide, a major causative factor in carcinogenesis. We assessed associations between serum SOD activities and incidence of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in a case-control study nested in the Japan Collaborative Cohort (JACC) study.
METHODS:At baseline, 39,242 subjects donated serum samples. Participants diagnosed with CRC during follow-up were regarded as cases. Odds ratios (ORs) for CRC incidence associated with SOD were evaluated with conditional logistic regression models. In the current study, 176 cases and 524 controls were analyzed.
RESULTS:For the overall cohort, a decreasing trend in risk of CRC with increasing SOD was observed (P for trend=0.054) and the fourth quartile of SOD level showed the lowest risk compared to the first (OR=0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.29-0.93). This was significant in men (P for trend=0.001), with the fourth quartile of SOD level showing the lowest risk compared to the first (OR, 0.23; 95%CI, 0.09-0.60). It was also exclusively observed for rectal cancer and left-sided CRC (P for trend, 0.037 and 0.020, respectively), with the fourth quartile again showing the lowest risk compared to the first (OR, 0.28 and 0.38; 95%CI, 0.09-0.84 and 0.16-0.91, respectively). Limiting subjects to those followed-up over 2 years, all trends remained unchanged.
CONCLUSIONS:Our findings suggest that serum SOD activity correlates inversely with risk of CRC, particularly in men and individuals with rectal cancer/left-sided CRC.
