Disease relevance of ADH1B

 

Psychiatry related information on ADH1B

 

High impact information on ADH1B

  • The complete sequence of 340 kb of DNA around the rice Adh1-adh2 region reveals interrupted colinearity with maize chromosome 4 [9].
  • In contrast, all of the factors bound to the 5'-flanking region of Adh2 are constitutively present and unchanged by hypoxia [10].
  • The transcriptional activation of maize alcohol dehydrogenase-1 (Adh1) and alcohol dehydrogenase-2 (Adh2) is accompanied by changes in the chromatin structure within the 5'-flanking region of each gene [10].
  • The ADH1B Arg47His functional polymorphism has the highest F(st) of the 54 SNPs in the ADH cluster, and it is significantly above the mean F(st) of 382 presumably neutral sites tested on the same 42 population samples [11].
  • Previous work from our laboratory has shown that the two sites showing the association are in linkage disequilibrium and has identified the ADH1B Arg47His site as causative, with the ADH1C Ile349Val site showing association only because of the disequilibrium [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of ADH1B

 

Biological context of ADH1B

 

Anatomical context of ADH1B

  • Genotoxic effects of alcohol in human peripheral lymphocytes modulated by ADH1B and ALDH2 gene polymorphisms [15].
  • Therefore, we determined the genotypes of the ADH2, ADH3, and ALDH2 loci of alcoholic and nonalcoholic Chinese men living in Taiwan, using leukocyte DNA amplified by the PCR and allele-specific oligonucleotides [18].
  • ADH2 promoter DNA fragments containing various lengths of 5'-flanking sequences were fused upstream from the gene encoding chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) and transfected into the HepG2 human hepatoma cell line [19].
  • While fibroblasts cultured from a skin biopsy from one Japanese individual revealed a heterodimer (ADH2 2-1) of alcohol dehydrogenase, skin extract from another Japanese showed a homodimer (ADH2 2-2) [20].
  • The influences of estimated body water, recent drinking history, recent smoking history, polymorphism at the ADH2 and ADH3 loci, family history of alcoholism, and percentage Native American heritage on alcohol elimination rate were determined using multiple regression analyses [21].
 

Associations of ADH1B with chemical compounds

  • H3 histones associated with a methylated upstream region of ADH1B were hyperacetylated in TSA-treated, but not in 5-aza-dC-treated, HepG2 cells [16].
  • Moreover, the ADH1B and ALDH2 genes might be involved in dopamine metabolism [22].
  • The human ADH1A, ADH1B, and ADH1C genes encode alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) that metabolize ethanol [23].
  • By these criteria, all-trans-retinol, 4-oxo-retinol, and 4-hydroxy-retinol were successfully docked to both ADH1B and ADH4 [24].
  • The crystal structures of human ADH1B and ADH4 provide the opportunity to examine their active sites for potential binding to many diverse retinol structures using molecular docking algorithms [24].
 

Regulatory relationships of ADH1B

  • However, the ADH2 genotype did not seem to influence drinking frequency or amounts of alcohol intake in each ALDH2 genotype [25].
  • This might explain why ADH3 is expressed at lower levels than ADH2 in the liver [26].
 

Other interactions of ADH1B

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ADH1B

  • Self reports of flushing reaction after drinking, cutaneous sensitivity to alcohol (patch test), and genotypic determination of ADH2, ADH3, and ALDH2 were studied in 53 Brazilian volunteers of different ethnic groups [31].
  • In this study, we increased the sample size to investigate the modifying effect of lifetime alcohol consumption on the association between ADH1B and ALDH2 genotypes and the risks of esophageal cancer [13].
  • STUDY DESIGN: Blood samples from 263 black mother/child pairs (217 mothers and 239 children) were analyzed to determine incidence of the ADH1B allele and the relation of the maternal allele to pregnancy drinking assessed at every prenatal clinic visit [32].
  • No significant difference between the patient and control groups was found in the ADH2 genotypes [33].
  • Extracts from the primary root or scutellum of induced F2 seedlings from the above crosses were assayed for ADH activity by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and simultaneously scored for survival to determine whether Adh2 and atn were segregating independently [34].
