MPO participates in the metabolic activation of tobacco carcinogens such as PAHs. A frequent MPO -463 G-->A polymorphism in the promoter region reduces MPO transcription and has been correlated with >4-fold lower benzo[a]pyrene-DNA adduct levels in the skin of coal tar-treated patients. Four of 7 case-control studies found significantly reduced lung cancer risk associated with the A allele. Due to their different etiologies, we examined whether the MPO genotype affects histologic lung cancer types differentially. A case-control study was conducted in 625 ever-smoking lung cancer patients, including 228 adenocarcinomas, 224 SCCs, 135 SCLCs and 340 ever-smoking hospital controls. MPO genotyping was performed by capillary PCR followed by fluorescence-based melting curve analysis. Combining the MPO -463 (G/A+A/A) genotypes, a protective effect approaching significance (OR = 0.75, 95% CI 0.55-1.01) was observed when comparing all lung cancer cases to controls. Among histologic types of lung cancer, a weak protective effect was found for both adenocarcinoma (OR = 0.81, CI 0.55-1.19) and SCC (OR = 0.82, CI 0.56-1.21); a stronger and significant effect was found for SCLC (OR = 0.58, CI 0.36-0.95; p = 0.029). Our results also suggest that the MPO genotype varies among inflammatory nonmalignant lung diseases. In conclusion, our results emphasize the need for a separate analysis of lung cancer histologic types and an adjustment for inflammatory nonmalignant lung diseases in future MPO-related studies. We confirm that the MPO -463 A variant affords a protective effect against lung cancer risk in smokers, which was strongest for SCLC patients.
