1 The aim of this study is to explain, from a mechanistic point of view, the clinical evidence showing a significant role of glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-M1 genotype on AZA toxicity in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Azathioprine glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
2 The aim of this study is to explain, from a mechanistic point of view, the clinical evidence showing a significant role of glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-M1 genotype on AZA toxicity in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Azathioprine glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
3 In this study, an in vitro model to study thiopurines" metabolism has been set up and helped us to demonstrate, for the first time, a clear role of GST-M1 in modulating AZA cytotoxicity, with a close dependency on superoxide anion production. Azathioprine glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
4 These results provide the molecular basis to shed light on the clinical evidence suggesting a role of GST-M1 genotype in influencing the toxic effects of AZA treatment. Azathioprine glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens
