Cigarette smoking is the main risk factor for bladder cancer, accounting for at least 50% of bladder cancer in men. Cigarette smoke is a rich source of arylamines, which are detoxified by the NAT2 enzyme and activated by the NAT1 enzyme to highly reactive species that can form bulky adducts on DNA. DNA damage from such adducts is mainly repaired by the nucleotide excision repair pathway, in which the XPD protein functions in opening the DNA helix. We hypothesized that an XPD codon 751 polymorphism (Lys-to-Gln amino acid change) could affect the repair of smoking-induced DNA damage and could be associated with bladder-cancer risk. We also hypothesized that allelic variants of the NAT1 and NAT2 genes might modify the effect of the XPD codon 751 polymorphism on smoking-associated bladder-cancer risk. We determined the XPD codon 751 genotype for 228 bladder-cancer cases and 210 controls who were frequency-matched to cases by age, sex, and ethnicity, and we used our previously published data on the NAT1 and NAT2 genotypes for these same individuals (J. A. Taylor et al., Cancer Res., 58: 3603-3610, 1998). We found a slight decrease in risk for the XPD codon 751 Gln/Gln genotype (adjusted odds ratio: 0.8; 95% confidence interval: 0.4-1.3) compared with subjects with the Lys/Lys or Lys/Gln genotypes. The analysis with smoking showed that smokers with the Lys/Lys or Lys/Gln genotypes were twice as likely to have bladder cancer than smokers with the Gln/Gln genotype (test of interaction P = 0.03). The combined presence of the NAT1/NAT2 high-risk genotype and the XPD Lys/Lys or Lys/Gln genotypes ignoring smoking had an odds ratio that was only slightly higher than expected, assuming no genotype-genotype interaction (P = 0.52). We found little evidence for a gene-gene-exposure, three-way interaction among the XPD codon 751 genotype, smoking, and the NAT1/NAT2 genotype.
