International audience. We investigated the transcriptional regulation of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) gene in human lymphoblastoid B cells and report that a high inducibility of CYP1A1 gene transcription by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is associated with glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null genotype, whereas the presence of at least one GSTM1 allele is correlated with induction of only low levels of CYP1A1 mRNA by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. These data underline the major importance of the CYP1A1 inducibility phenotype associated with the homozygous GSTM1 null genotype in chemically induced cancers.
