Expression quantitative trait loci influence DNA damage-induced apoptosis in cancer

The analysis of e2QTL allows for the identification of context-specific eQTL effects (Kim-Hellmuth et al. (2017), PMID: 28814792). To evaluate how inter-individual genetic variability influences the regulation of DNA damage-induced apoptosis, we performed e2QTL analysis of CD8+ T cells from 461 healthy European participants stimulated with high doses of 5 different carcinogens. These include Methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS), tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBOOH), benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE), 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (HC) and UVC radiation.

The analyses were performed using CD8+ T cells from 461 healthy European participants stimulated with high doses of 5 different carcinogens to induce early apoptosis. These include Methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS), tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (TBOOH), benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE), 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (HC) and UVC radiation.		2728
