Research Abstract

In order to clarify the reasons why Koreans in Japan demonstrate a high risk for developing liver cancer, we have been carrying out epidemiological studies, while focusing on the distribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes and cytochrome P-450 2E1 (CYP2E1) genotypes, and the relationships between the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the genotypes to HCV and CYP2E1 among 3 groups ; Koreans in Korea, Koreans in Japan and Japanese in this 3-year Korea-Japan Joint Study.
HCV genotype 3 was found to be prevalent among HCC patients and blood donors of Koreans in Korea. On the other hand, HCV genotype 2 was prevalent among both HCC patients and blood donors of both Japanese and Koreans in Japan. Koreans in Japan thus demonstrated a similar distribution of HCV genotypes to that lof Japanese.
We next conducted a case-control study on the association between the development of HCC and HCV genotypes at the Osaka Medical Center for Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases, and Osaka University. As a result, HCV genotype 2 was found to show a higher risk for the development of liver cirrhosis and HCC than HCV genotypes 3 and 4.
CYP2E1 is the only enzyme that metabolizes N-nitrosodimethylamine, a potent hepatocarcinogen. CYP2E1 genotype is related to individual susceptibility to diethlnitrosamine-induced liver cancer, and this susceptibility was observed to be accelerated by long-term administration of ethanol.
No difference was observed in the distribution of CYP2E1 genotypes between HCC Koreans and Japanese patients. CYP2E1 genotype c1/c2 and c1/c2 showed a somewhat higher risk for the development of HCC than CYP2E1 genotype c1/c1, but the difference was not statistically significant.
In conclusion, HCV genotype 2 was prevalent among Koreans in Japan, which may thus play a role in their increased risk for developing HCC.
