Abstract

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the malignancies that affects men and significantly contributes to increased mortality rates in men globally. Patients affected with prostate cancer present with either a localized or advanced disease. Objective: The present study aimed to determining the relationship between gene expression of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes in the sera of patients and compared it with healthy. Materials and methods: A case control study consist of three group included was in this study .   The first group involves  50 patients  with PC were observation  in Al- Amal Oncology Hospital  in the period from April 2021 to April 2022 under the supervision of oncology specialists was included in this study. Second group consist of  30 patients. They have benign hyper plaisa (BHP), this group has been collected from  urosergical department . Third group was include 20 healthy volunteers (non prostate cancer and non BHP). The RNA extraction from whole blood of both the patients and healthy by using protocol in TransZOl Up Plus RNA kit (Transgen- China) to determining gene expression of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes  in study groups.  Results:  Results of the present study showed the 60-69 years age group scored highest percentage in benign (56.7%), malignant (54.0%), compared to control (healthy)  (50.0%), while >69 years scored least percentage in these groups (3.3%, 14.0%, and 25.0%) respectively with significant different (p<0.05). Additionally,  it is found the GSTM1  and  GSTT1 genes levels   scored highest mean levels in malignant group (8.67±2.17   and 8.80±3.65)  and least mean level in healthy (1.00±0.00   and 1.00±0.00) compared to benign group with significant different (p<0.05).  Conclusions: We concluded the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes levels are play major roles in pathogenesis patients with prostate cancer.  PCa is high prevalence in elderly population.
