The human TMPRSS2 gene is pathogenetically implicated in both coronaviral lung infection and prostate cancer, suggesting its potential as a drug target in both contexts. SARS-COV-2 spike polypeptides are primed by the host transmembrane TMPRSS2 protease, triggering virus fusion with epithelial cell membranes followed by an endocytotic internalisation process that bypasses normal endosomal activation of cathepsin-mediated innate immunity; viral co-opting of TMPRSS2 thus favors microbial survivability by attenuating host inflammatory responses. In contrast, most early hormone-dependent prostate cancers express TMPRSS2:ERG fusion genes arising from deletions that eliminate the TMPRSS2 coding region while juxtaposing its androgen-inducible promoter and the open reading frame of ERG, upregulating pro-inflammatory ERG while functionally disabling TMPRSS2. Moreover, inflammatory oxidative DNA damage selects for TMPRSS2:ERG-fused cancers, whereas patients treated with antiinflammatory drugs develop fewer of these fusion-dependent tumors. These findings imply that TMPRSS2 protects the prostate by enabling endosomal bypass of pathogens which could otherwise trigger inflammation-induced DNA damage that predisposes to TMPRSS2:ERG fusions. Hence, the high oncogenic selectability of TMPRSS2:ERG fusions may reflect a unique pro-inflammatory synergy between androgenic ERG gain-of-function and fusogenic TMPRSS2 loss-of-function, cautioning against the use of TMPRSS2-inhibitory drugs to prevent or treat early prostate cancer.

<a><b>OBJECTIVE: </b></a>Acrylamide exposure from daily-consumed food has raised global concern.<b> </b>We aimed to assess the exposure-response relationships of internal acrylamide exposure with oxidative DNA damage, lipid peroxidation and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) alteration, and investigate the mediating role of oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation in the association of internal acrylamide exposure with FPG. <p><b>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:</b> FPG and urinary biomarkers of oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-deoxy-guanosine, 8-OHdG), lipid peroxidation (8-iso-prostaglandin-F2α, 8-iso-PGF2α) and acrylamide exposure (N-acetyl-S-(2-carbamoylethyl)-L-cysteine, AAMA; N-acetyl-S-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine, GAMA) were measured for 3,270 general adults from the Wuhan-Zhuhai cohort. The associations of urinary acrylamide metabolites with 8-OHdG, 8-iso-PGF2α and FPG were assessed by linear mixed models. The mediating roles of 8-OHdG and 8-iso-PGF2α were evaluated by mediation analysis.</p> <p><b>RESULTS:</b> We found significant linear positive dose-response relationships of urinary acrylamide metabolites with 8-OHdG, 8-iso-PGF2α and FPG (except GAMA with FPG), and 8-iso-PGF2α with FPG. Each 1-unit increase in log-transformed level of AAMA, ΣUAAM (AAMA+GAMA) or 8-iso-PGF2α was associated with a 0.17-, 0.15- or 0.23-mmol/L increase in FPG, respectively (<i>P </i>or/and<i> P trend</i><0.05). Each 1% increase in AAMA, GAMA or ΣUAAM was associated with a 0.19%, 0.27% or 0.22% increase in 8-OHdG, respectively, and a 0.40%, 0.48% or 0.44% increase in 8-iso-PGF2α, respectively (<i>P </i>and<i> P trend</i><0.05). Increased 8-iso-PGF2α rather than 8-OHdG significantly mediated 64.29% and 76.92% of the AAMA and ΣUAAM associated-FPG increases, respectively.</p> <p><b>CONCLUSIONS:</b> Exposure of general adult population to acrylamide was associated with FPG elevation, oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, which in turn partly mediated acrylamide-associated FPG elevation.<b></b></p>

In the blood serum of 70% individuals exposed to harmful factors of the working environment, a high level of oxidative stress and the DNA damage marker 8-Hydroxy-2’-Deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were detected.
