Gene study shows sex differences go deep

Thousands of genes behave differently in the same organs of males and females, researchers reported on Friday, a finding that may help explain why men and women have different responses to drugs and diseases.

Their study of brain, liver, fat and muscle tissue from mice showed that gene expression -- the level of activity of a gene -- varied greatly according to sex.

The same is almost certainly true of humans, the team at the University of California Los Angeles reported.

"This research holds important implications for understanding disorders such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity, and identifies targets for the development of gender-specific therapies," said Jake Lusis, a professor of human genetics who worked on the study.

Writing in the August issue of Genome Research, the researchers said that even in the same organ, scores of genes varied in expression levels between the sexes.

The smallest differences were in brain tissue, they found.

"We saw striking and measurable differences in more than half of the genes' expression patterns between males and females," said Dr. Thomas Drake, a professor of pathology. "We didn't expect that. No one has previously demonstrated this genetic gender gap at such high levels."

Xia Yang, a postdoctoral fellow in cardiology who led the study, said the implications are important.

"Males and females share the same genetic code, but our findings imply that gender regulates how quickly the body can convert DNA to proteins," Yang said in a statement. "This suggests that gender influences how disease develops."

In liver tissue, the findings imply male and female livers function the same, but at different rates.

"Our findings in the liver may explain why men and women respond differently to the same drug," Lusis said.

"Studies show that aspirin is more effective at preventing heart attack in men than women. One gender may metabolize the drug faster, leaving too little of the medication in the system to produce an effect."

Yang added, "Many of the genes we identified relate to processes that influence common diseases. This is crucial, because once we understand the gender gap in these disease mechanisms, we can create new strategies for designing and testing new sex-specific drugs.

Women students unaware of lifestyle links to cancer

Most female students are unaware that lifestyle factors can influence their risk of developing breast cancer, according to a survey released on Monday.

A poll of more than 10,000 students in 23 countries showed more than half knew heredity was a risk factor. But less than five percent realised that eating and drinking too much alcohol and not getting enough exercise also had an impact. "It is very worrying that information about being overweight, having a high alcohol intake and taking little exercise has simply not been effectively communicated to young women in any of the countries we surveyed," Professor Jane Wardle, of the charity Cancer Research UK, who headed the research team, said.

American students were the most aware that lifestyle could place a role in breast cancer. Ten percent of Americans questioned in the poll published in the European Journal of Cancer knew alcohol was a risk factor compared to four percent in England, which was less than in Greece, Spain and Colombia.

Female students in Iceland, Ireland, Greece and South America were better informed about the link between lack of exercise and breast cancer than English students. "The results of this study suggest that students could be overestimating the impact of genetic factors and are certainly underestimating the importance of lifestyle factors," Wardle added. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. More than a million cases occur worldwide each year, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France. The disease develops most often in older women. Factors that can also increase a woman's risk of the breast cancer include having a mother or close relative with the disease, early puberty, late menopause and not having any children. The contraceptive pill and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after the menopause may also cause an increase in risk but it gradually returns to normal once a woman stops taking them. Students in countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America took part in the study.
