摘要
Benzo(a)Pyrene (BaP) is a well-known environmental carcinogen that poses a significant risk to human health. The pivotal genes and toxicity pathways have been identified as key events to construct the mode of action (MOA) of BaP. In this study, we focused on evaluating the association between genetic variants in BaP-disturbed toxicity pathways and the susceptibility of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), based on the data of our previous genome-wide association analysis (GWAS). In addition, we investigated the biological roles of these significant polymorphisms by integrating bioinformatic annotation and experimental validation. Our findings revealed that 15 functional polymorphisms in AHR signaling, p53 signaling, NRF2 signaling, TGF-β signaling, STAT3 signaling, and IL-8 signaling pathways were significantly associated with susceptibility to LSCC. Our study provides a novel approach for identifying novel risk genetic loci utilizing GWAS data, and suggests potential targets for early detection of LSCC in the future.
