Extensive evidence exists that the reaction of estrogen metabolites with DNA produces depurinating adducts that, in turn, induce mutations and cellular transformation. While it is clear that these estrogen metabolites result in a neoplastic phenotype in vitro, further evidence supporting the link between estrogen-DNA adduct formation and its role in neoplasia induction in vivo would strengthen the evidence for a genotoxic mechanism. Diethylstilbestrol (DES), an estrogen analogue known to increase the risk of breast cancer in women exposed in utero, is hypothesized to induce neoplasia through a similar genotoxic mechanism. Cultured MCF-10F human breast epithelial cells were treated with DES at varying concentrations and for various times to determine whether the addition of DES to MCF-10F cells resulted in the formation of depurinating adducts. This is the first demonstration of the formation of DES-DNA adducts in human breast cells. A dose-dependent increase in DES-DNA adducts was observed. Demonstrating that treatment of MCF-10F cells with DES, a known human carcinogen, yields depurinating adducts provides further support for the involvement of these adducts in the induction of breast neoplasia. Previous studies have demonstrated the ability of antioxidants such as resveratrol to prevent the formation of estrogen-DNA adducts, thus preventing a key carcinogenic event. In this study, when MCF-10F cells were treated with a combination of resveratrol and DES, a dose-dependent reduction in the level of DES-DNA adducts was also observed. 相似文献

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) demonstrate differential endometrial cancer (EC) risk. While tamoxifen (TAM) use increases the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and malignancy, raloxifene (RAL) has neutral effects on the uterus. How TAM increases the risk of EC and why TAM and RAL differentially modulate the risk for EC, however, remain elusive. Here, we tested the hypothesis that TAM increases the risk for EC, at least in part, by enhancing the local estrogen biosynthesis and directing estrogen metabolism towards the formation of genotoxic and hormonally active estrogen metabolites. In addition, the differential effects of TAM and RAL in EC risk are attributed to their differential effect on estrogen metabolism/metabolites. The endometrial cancer cell line (Ishikawa cells) and the nonmalignant immortalized human endometrial glandular cell line (EM1) were used for the study. The profile of estrogen/estrogen metabolites (EM), depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts, and the expression of estrogen-metabolizing enzymes in cells treated with 17β-estradiol (E2) alone or in combination with TAM or RAL were investigated using high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS(2)), ultraperformance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and Western blot analysis, respectively. TAM significantly increased the total EM and enhanced the formation of hormonally active and carcinogenic estrogen metabolites, 4-hydroxestrone (4-OHE1) and 16α-hydroxyestrone, with concomitant reduction in the formation of antiestrogenic and anticarcinogenic 2-hydroxyestradiol and 2-methoxyestradiol. Furthermore, TAM increased the formation of depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts 4-OHE1 [2]-1-N7Guanine and 4-OHE1 [2]-1-N3 Adenine. TAM-induced alteration in EM and depurinating DNA adduct formation is associated with altered expression of estrogen metabolizing enzymes CYP1A1, CYP1B1, COMT, NQO1, and SF-1 as revealed by Western blot analysis. In contrast to TAM, RAL has minimal effect on EM, estrogen-DNA adduct formation, or estrogen-metabolizing enzymes expression. These data show that TAM perturbs the balance of estrogen-metabolizing enzymes and alters the disposition of estrogen metabolites, which can explain, at least in part, the mechanism for TAM-induced EC. These results also implicate the differential effect of TAM and RAL on estrogen metabolism/metabolites as a potential mechanism for their disparate effects on the endometrium. 相似文献

Substantial evidence suggests that catechol estrogen-3,4-quinones react with DNA to form predominantly the depurinating adducts 4-hydroxyestrone (estradiol)-1-N3Ade [4-OHE(1)(E(2))-1-N3Ade] and 4-OHE(1)(E(2))-1-N7Gua. Apurinic sites resulting from these adducts generate critical mutations that can initiate cancer. The paradigm of cancer initiation is based on an imbalance in estrogen metabolism between activating pathways that lead to estrogen-DNA adducts and deactivating pathways that lead to estrogen metabolites and conjugates. This imbalance can be improved to minimize formation of adducts by using antioxidants, such as resveratrol (Resv) and N-acetylcysteine (NAcCys). To compare the ability of Resv and NAcCys to block formation of estrogen-DNA adducts, we used the human breast epithelial cell line MCF-10F treated with 4-OHE(2). Resv and NAcCys directed the metabolism of 4-OHE(2) toward protective pathways. NAcCys reacted with the quinones and reduced the semiquinones to catechols. This pathway was also carried out by Resv. In addition, Resv induced the protective enzyme quinone reductase, which reduces E(1)(E(2))-3,4-quinones to 4-OHE(1)(E(2)). Resv was more effective at increasing the amount of 4-OCH(3)E(1)(E(2)) than NAcCys. Inhibition of estrogen-DNA adduct formation was similar at lower doses, but at higher doses Resv was about 50% more effective than NAcCys. Their combined effects were additive. Therefore, these two antioxidants provide an excellent combination to protect catechol estrogens from oxidation to catechol quinones. 相似文献

Several studies have identified tobacco smoking as a risk factor for anal cancer in both women and men. Samples of anal epithelium from haemorrhoidectomy specimens from current smokers (n = 20) and age-matched life-long non-smokers (n = 16) were analysed for DNA adducts by the nuclease P(1) digestion enhancement procedure of 32P-postlabelling analysis. The study included 14 men and 22 women. Both qualitative and quantitative differences in the adduct profiles were observed between the smokers and non-smokers. The mean adduct level was significantly higher in the smokers than in the non-smokers (1.88 +/- 0.71) (S.D.) versus 1.36 +/- 0.60 adducts per 10(8) nucleotides, P = 0.02, two-tailed unpaired t-test with Welch's correction); furthermore, the adduct pattern seen in two-dimensional chromatograms revealed the smoking-related diagonal radioactive zone in 17/20 smokers, but not in any of the non-smokers (P < 0.00001, Fisher's exact test). These results indicate that components of tobacco smoke inflict genotoxic damage in the anal epithelium of smokers and provide a plausible mechanism for a causal association between smoking and anal cancer. 相似文献

The association found between breast cancer development and prolonged exposure to estrogens suggests that this hormone is of etiologic importance in the causation of the disease. Studies on estrogen metabolism, formation of DNA adducts, carcinogenicity, cell transformation, and mutagenicity have led to the hypothesis that reaction of certain estrogen metabolites, predominantly catechol estrogen-3,4-quinones, with DNA forms depurinating adducts [4-OHE1(E2)-1-N3Ade and 4-OHE(1)(E2)-1-N7Gua]. These adducts cause mutations leading to the initiation of breast cancer. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is considered an important enzyme that protects cells from the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of catechol estrogens, by preventing their conversion to quinones. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of COMT inhibition on the formation of depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts. Immortalized human breast epithelial MCF-10F cells were treated with 4-OHE2 (0.2 or 0.5 microM) for 24 h at 120, 168, 216, and 264 h postplating or one time at 1-30 microM 4-OHE2 with or without the presence of COMT inhibitor (Ro41-0960). The culture media were collected at each point, extracted by solid-phase extraction, and analyzed by HPLC connected with a multichannel electrochemical detector. The results demonstrate that MCF-10F cells oxidize 4-OHE2 to E1(E2)-3,4-Q, which react with DNA to form the depurinating N3Ade and N7Gua adducts. The COMT inhibitor Ro41-0960 blocked the methoxylation of catechol estrogens, with concomitant 3- to 4-fold increases in the levels of the depurinating adducts. Thus, low activity of COMT leads to higher levels of depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts that can induce mutations and initiate cancer. 相似文献

Frequent chest X-ray fluoroscopy and breast cancer incidence among tuberculosis patients in Massachusetts 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The incidence of breast cancer was determined in 4940 women treated for tuberculosis between 1925 and 1954 in Massachusetts. Among 2573 women examined by X-ray fluoroscopy an average of 88 times during lung collapse therapy and followed for an average of 30 years, 147 breast cancers occurred in contrast to 113.6 expected [observed/expected (O/E) = 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.1-1.5]. No excess of breast cancer was seen among 2367 women treated by other means: 87 observed versus 100.9 expected. Increased rates for breast cancer were not apparent until about 10 to 15 years after the initial fluoroscopy examination. Excess risk then remained high throughout all intervals of follow-up, up to 50 years after first exposure. Age at exposure strongly influenced the risk of radiation-induced breast cancer with young women being at highest risk and those over age 40 being at lowest risk [relative risk (RR) = 1.06]. Mean radiation dose to the breast was estimated to be 79 cGy, and there was strong evidence for a linear relationship between dose and breast cancer risk. Allowing for a 10-year minimum latent period, the relative risk at 1 Gy was estimated as 1.61 and the absolute excess as 10.7 per 10(4) woman-years per gray. When compared to other studies, our data suggest that the breast is one of the most sensitive tissues to the carcinogenic force of radiation, that fractionated exposures are similar to single exposures of the same total dose in their ability to induce breast cancer, that risk remains high for many years after exposure, and that young women are especially vulnerable to radiation injury. 相似文献

Treatment with estrogen increases the risk of breast, ovary, and endometrial cancers in women. DNA damage induced by estrogen is thought to be involved in estrogen carcinogenesis. In fact, Y-family human DNA polymerases (pol) eta and kappa, which are highly expressed in the reproductive organs, miscode model estrogen-derived DNA adducts during DNA synthesis. Since the estrogen-DNA adducts are a mixture of 6alpha- and 6beta-diastereoisomers of dG-N(2)-6-estrogen or dA-N(6)-6-estrogen, the stereochemistry of each isomeric adduct on translesion synthesis catalyzed by DNA pols has not been investigated. We have recently established a phosphoramidite chemical procedure to insert 6alpha- or 6beta-isomeric N(2)-(estradiol-6-yl)-2'-deoxyguanosine (dG-N(2)-6-E(2)) into oligodeoxynucleotides. Using such site-specific modified oligomer as a template, the specificity and frequency of miscoding by dG-N(2)-6alpha-E(2) or dG-N(2)-6beta-E(2) were explored using pol eta and a truncated form of pol kappa (pol kappaDeltaC). Translesion synthesis catalyzed by pol eta bypassed both the 6alpha- and 6beta-isomers of dG-N(2)-6-E(2), with a weak blockage at the adduct site, while translesion synthesis catalyzed by pol kappaDeltaC readily bypassed both isomeric adducts. Quantitative analysis of base substitutions and deletions occurring at the adduct site showed that pol kappaDeltaC was more efficient than pol eta by incorporating dCMP opposite both 6alpha- and 6beta-isomeric dG-N(2)-6-E(2) adducts. The miscoding events occurred more frequently with pol eta, but not with pol kappaDeltaC. Pol eta promoted incorporation of dAMP and dTMP at both the 6alpha- and 6beta-isomeric adducts, generating G --> T transversions and G --> A transitions. One- and two-base deletions were also formed. The 6alpha-isomeric adduct promoted slightly lower frequency of dCMP incorporation and higher frequency of dTMP incorporation and one-base deletions, compared with the 6beta-isomeric adduct. These observations were supported by steady-state kinetic studies. Taken together, the miscoding property of the 6alpha-isomeric dG-N(2)-6-E(2) is likely to be similar to that of the 6beta-isomeric adduct. 相似文献

Tamoxifen, a breast cancer drug, has recently been approved for the chemoprevention of this disease. However, tamoxifen causes hepatic carcinomas in rats through a genotoxic mechanism and increases the risk of endometrial tumors in women. DNA adducts have been detected at low levels in human endometrium, and there is much interest in determining whether DNA damage plays a role in tamoxifen-induced endometrial carcinogenesis. This study investigates the mutagenicity of tamoxifen DNA adducts formed by alpha-acetoxytamoxifen, a reactive ester producing the major DNA adduct formed in livers of tamoxifen-treated rats. pSP189 plasmid DNA containing the supF gene was treated with alpha-acetoxytamoxifen and adduct levels (0.5-8.0 adducts per plasmid) determined by (32)P-postlabeling. Adducted plasmids were transfected into nucleotide excision repair proficient (GM00637) or deficient (GM04429, XPA) human fibroblasts. After replication, plasmids were recovered and screened in indicator bacteria. Relative mutation frequencies increased with the adduct level, with 1.3-3.6-fold higher numbers of mutations in the XP cells compared to the GM00637 cells, indicating that NER plays a significant role in the removal of these particular tamoxifen DNA adducts. The majority of sequence alterations (91-96%) occurred at GC base pairs, as did mutation hotspots, although the type and position of mutations was cell-specific. In both cell lines, as the adduct level increased, the proportion of GC --> AT transitions decreased and GC --> TA transversions, mutations known to arise from the major tamoxifen adducts, increased. Given the high mutagenicity of dG-N(2)-tamoxifen adducts, if not excised, they may potentially contribute to the initiation of endometrial cancer in women. 相似文献

Among the numerous small molecules in the body, the very few aromatic ones include the estrogens and dopamine. In relation to cancer initiation, the estrogens should be considered as chemicals, not as hormones. Metabolism of estrogens is characterized by two major pathways. One is hydroxylation to form the 2- and 4-catechol estrogens, and the second is hydroxylation at the 16α position. In the catechol pathway, the metabolism involves further oxidation to semiquinones and quinones, including formation of the catechol estrogen-3,4-quinones, the major carcinogenic metabolites of estrogens. These electrophilic compounds react with DNA to form the depurinating adducts 4-OHE(1)(E(2))-1-N3Ade and 4-OHE(1)(E(2))-1-N7Gua. The apurinic sites obtained by this reaction generate the mutations that may lead to the initiation of cancer. Oxidation of catechol estrogens to their quinones is normally in homeostasis, which minimizes formation of the quinones and their reaction with DNA. When the homeostasis is disrupted, excessive amounts of catechol estrogen quinones are formed and the resulting increase in depurinating DNA adducts can lead to initiation of cancer. Substantial evidence demonstrates the mutagenicity of the estrogen metabolites and their ability to induce transformation of mouse and human breast epithelial cells, and tumors in laboratory animals. Furthermore, women at high risk for breast cancer or diagnosed with the disease, men with prostate cancer, and men with non-Hodgkin lymphoma all have relatively high levels of estrogen-DNA adducts, compared to matched control subjects. Specific antioxidants, such as N-acetylcysteine and resveratrol, can block the oxidation of catechol estrogens to their quinones and their reaction with DNA. As a result, the initiation of cancer can be prevented. 相似文献

Women undergoing breast reduction surgery have been reported to be at low subsequent risk of breast cancer, especially when the surgery is performed after age 40. To evaluate the age and time-related patterns of cancer risk following surgical removal of breast tissue, we identified 31,910 women who underwent breast reduction surgery from 1965 to 1993 in Sweden using hospital discharge register data. There were 19,975 women (63 percent) under age 40 at surgery. Linkages with Swedish registries for cancer, death, and emigration were based on unique national registration numbers assigned to each Swedish resident. Cancer incidence was contrasted with that expected in the general population based on age- and calendar year-specific data from the nationwide cancer registry. Overall, 161 incident breast cancers were identified during 238,765 person-years of observation (mean, 7.5 years) compared with 223.9 expected (standardized incidence ratio = 0.72; 95 percent confidence interval = 0.61 to 0.84). The reduction in risk of breast cancer was most pronounced for women whose operations were performed after age 50 (SIR = 0.57) and for those followed for more than 5 years (SIR = 0.68). Among women operated on before age 40, risk was nonsignificantly elevated within the first 5 years after surgery (SIR = 1.47; 95 percent CI = 0.89 to 2.30) but tended to be reduced thereafter (SIR = 0.80; 95 percent CI = 0.55 to 1.13). The magnitude of the reduction in risk thus appears directly related to age at surgery. Women followed for an average of 7.5 years after bilateral breast reduction surgery, were at a statistically significant 28 percent decreased risk of breast cancer. The current study is thus consistent with a protective effect following partial removal of breast glandular tissue. 相似文献

Among women infected with carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV), there is a two- to five-fold increased risk of cervical precancer and cancer in women who smoke compared to those who do not smoke. Because tobacco smoke contains carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), it was of interest to examine human cervical tissue for PAH-DNA adduct formation. Here, we measured PAH-DNA adduct formation in cervical biopsies collected in follow-up among women who tested positive for carcinogenic HPV at baseline. A semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) method using antiserum elicited against DNA modified with r7,t8-dihydroxy-t-9,10-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE) was used to measure nuclear PAH-DNA adduct formation. Cultured human cervical keratinocytes exposed to 0, 0.153, or 0.331microM BPDE showed dose-dependent increases in r7,t8,t9-trihydroxy-c-10-(N(2)deoxyguanosyl)-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-benzo[a]pyrene (BPdG) adducts. For BPdG adduct analysis, paraffin-embedded keratinocytes were stained by IHC with analysis of nuclear color intensity by Automated Cellular Imaging System (ACIS) and, in parallel cultures, extracted DNA was assayed by quantitative BPDE-DNA chemiluminescence immunoassay (CIA). For paraffin-embedded samples from carcinogenic HPV-infected women, normal-appearing cervical squamous epithelium suitable for scoring was found in samples from 75 of the 114 individuals, including 29 cases of cervical precancer or cancer and 46 controls. With a lower limit of detection of 20 adducts/10(8) nucleotides, detectable PAH-DNA adduct values ranged from 25 to 191/10(8) nucleotides, with a median of 75/10(8) nucleotides. PAH-DNA adduct values above 150/10(8) nucleotides were found in eight samples, and in three samples adducts were non-detectable. There was no correlation between PAH-DNA adduct formation and either smoking or case status. Therefore, PAH-DNA adduct formation as measured by this methodology did not appear related to the increased risk of cervical precancer and cancer among carcinogenic HPV-infected smokers. 相似文献

Resveratrol (Resv), a natural occurring phytolexin present in grapes and other foods, possesses chemopreventive effects revealed by its striking modulation of diverse cellular events associated with tumor initiation, promotion, and progression. Catechol estrogens generated in the metabolism of estrogens are oxidized to catechol quinones that react with DNA to form predominantly depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts. This event can generate the mutations responsible for cancer initiation. In this regard, Resv acts as both an antioxidant and an inducer of the phase II enzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). In this report, we present the effects of Resv on the metabolism of estrogens in normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-10F) treated with 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE(2)) or estradiol-3,4-quinone (E(2)-3,4-Q). Resv induced NQO1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner, but did not affect the expression of catechol-O-methyltransferase. Ultraperformance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the effects of Resv on estrogen metabolism. Preincubation of the cells with Resv for 48 h decreased the formation of depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts from 4-OHE(2) or E(2)-3,4-Q and increased formation of methoxycatechol estrogens. When Resv was also present with the 4-OHE(2) or E(2)-3,4-Q, even greater increases in methoxycatechol estrogens were observed, and the DNA adducts were undetectable. We conclude that Resv can protect breast cells from carcinogenic estrogen metabolites, suggesting that it could be used in breast cancer prevention. 相似文献

Experimental and clinical data support a role for estrogens in the development and growth of breast cancer, and lowered estrogen exposure reduces breast cancer recurrence and new diagnoses in high-risk women. There is varied evidence that increased physical activity is associated with breast cancer risk reduction in both pre- and postmenopausal women, perhaps via lowered estrogen levels. The purpose of this study was to assess whether exercise intervention in premenopausal women at increased breast cancer risk reduces estrogen or progesterone levels. Seven healthy premenopausal women at high risk for breast cancer completed a seven-menstrual-cycle study. The study began with two preintervention cycles of baseline measurement of hormone levels via daily first-morning urine collection, allowing calculation of average area under the curve (AUC) hormone exposure across the menstrual cycle. Participants then began five cycles of exercise training to a maintenance level of 300 min per week at 80-85% of maximal aerobic capacity. During the last two exercise cycles, urinary estradiol and progesterone levels were again measured daily. Total estrogen exposure declined by 18.9% and total progesterone exposure by 23.7%. The declines were mostly due to decreased luteal phase levels, although menstrual cycle and luteal phase lengths were unchanged. The study demonstrated the feasibility of daily urine samples and AUC measurement to assess hormone exposure in experimental studies of the impact of interventions on ovarian hormones. The results suggest value in exercise interventions to reduce hormone levels in high-risk women with few side effects and the potential for incremental benefits to surgical or pharmacologic interventions. 相似文献

The variation in dietary exposure to acrylamide (AA) has been studied through measurement of hemoglobin adduct levels from AA, as a measurement of internal dose, in a sample from the blood bank of the Malm? Diet and Cancer Cohort (n=28,098). The blood donors are well characterised with regard to their food habits, and 142 individuals were selected to obtain highest possible variation in the adduct levels from AA (none, random or high intake of coffee, fried potato, crisp bread and snacks, food items estimated to have high levels of AA). Among 70 non-smokers the AA-adduct levels varied by a factor of 5, and ranged between 0.02 and 0.1 nmol/g, with considerable overlap in AA-adduct levels between the different dietary groups. There was a significant difference between men with high dietary exposure to AA compared to men with low dietary exposure (P=0.04). No such difference was found for women. As expected a higher level (range: 0.03-0.43 nmol/g) of the AA-adduct, due to AA in tobacco smoke, was found in smokers. Smoking women with high dietary exposure to AA had significantly higher AA-adduct levels compared to smoking women with low dietary exposure (P=0.01). No such significant difference was found in smoking men. The median hemoglobin (Hb) adduct level in the randomly selected group of non-smokers was compatible with earlier studies (0.031 nmol/g). The variation in the average internal dose, measured as Hb adducts, was somewhat smaller than estimated for daily intake by food consumption questionnaires in other studies. Thus, the observed relatively narrow inter-individual variation in AA-adduct levels means that estimates of individual dietary AA intake have to be very precise if they should be useful in future cancer epidemiology. 相似文献

A variety of evidence suggests that estrogens may induce non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The reaction of catechol estrogen quinones with DNA to form depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts is hypothesized to initiate this process. These adducts are released from DNA, shed from cells into the bloodstream and excreted in urine. The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts might be involved in the aetiology of human NHL. Estrogen metabolites, conjugates and depurinating DNA adducts were identified and quantified in spot urine samples from 15 men with NHL and 30 healthy control men by using ultraperformance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. The levels of estrogen-DNA adducts were significantly higher in the men with NHL than in the healthy control men. Thus, formation of estrogen-DNA adducts may play a critical role in the aetiology of NHL, and these adducts could be potential biomarkers of NHL risk. 相似文献

The non-steroidal anti-estrogen tamoxifen [TAM] has been in clinical use over the last two decades as a potent adjunct chemotherapeutic agent for treatment of breast cancer. It has also been given prophylactically to women with a strong family history of breast cancer. However, tamoxifen treatment has also been associated with increased endometrial cancer, possibly resulting from the reaction of metabolically activated tamoxifen derivatives with cellular DNA. Such DNA adducts can be mutagenic and the activities of isomeric adducts may be conformation-dependent. We therefore investigated the high resolution NMR solution conformation of one covalent adduct (cis-isomer, S-epimer of [TAM]G) formed from the reaction of tamoxifen [TAM] to N(2)-of guanine in the d(C-[TAM]G-C).d(G-C-G) sequence context at the 11-mer oligonucleotide duplex level. Our NMR results establish that the S-cis [TAM]G lesion is accomodated within a widened minor groove without disruption of the Watson-Crick [TAM]G. C and flanking Watson-Crick G.C base-pairs. The helix axis of the bound DNA oligomer is bent by about 30 degrees and is directed away from the minor groove adduct site. The presence of such a bulky [TAM]G adduct with components of the TAM residue on both the 5'- and the 3'-side of the modified base could compromise the fidelity of the minor groove polymerase scanning machinery. 相似文献

The drug tamoxifen, used to treat breast cancer, causes liver cancer in rats and endometrial cancer in women. Tamoxifen forms liver DNA adducts in both short- and long-term dosing of rodents, and DNA adducts have also been reported in tissues of women undergoing tamoxifen therapy. It is not known if the induction of endometrial cancer in women is through these DNA adducts or through the estrogenic nature of the drug. In this study, we have investigated the mutagenicity of two model reactive intermediates of tamoxifen, alpha-acetoxytamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen quinone methide (4-OHtamQM). These form the same DNA adducts as those found in tamoxifen-treated rats. The two compounds were used to treat the pSP189 plasmid containing the supF gene, which was replicated in Ad293 cells before being screened in indicator bacteria. Plasmid reacted with 4-OHtamQM was more likely to be mutated (2-7-fold increase) than that reacted with alpha-acetoxytamoxifen, despite having a lower level of DNA damage (12-20-fold less), as assayed by (32)P-postlabeling. The two compounds induced statistically different mutation spectra in the supF gene. The majority of mutations in alpha-acetoxytamoxifen-treated plasmid were GC -->TA transversions while GC-->AT transitions were formed in 4-OHtamQM-treated plasmid. 4-OHTamQM-treated DNA induced a larger proportion of multiple mutations and large deletions compared to alpha-acetoxytamoxifen. Sites of mutational hotspots were observed for both compounds. In conclusion, the quantitatively minor DNA adduct of tamoxifen (dG-N(2)-4-hydroxytamoxifen) is more mutagenic than the major tamoxifen DNA adduct (dG-N(2)-tamoxifen). 相似文献

OBJECTIVE--To determine whether there is sufficient benefit to be gained by offering screening for breast cancer with mammography to women aged 65-79, who are not normally invited for screening. DESIGN--Pilot study of women eligible for screening but not for personal invitation. The results of this study were compared with the results of routinely screened younger women (aged 50-64) from the same general practice. SETTING--One group general practice in south Manchester. PATIENTS--The 631 women aged 65-79 on the practice list. A total of 42 (7%) were excluded by the general practitioner, and 22 (4%) invitation letters were returned by the post office. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Response rates to invitation for screening assessed by three indices: crude population coverage ratio, crude invited population coverage ratio, and corrected invited population coverage ratio. RESULTS--344 Patients aged 65-79 (61% of those invited, excluding those who could not be traced) were screened compared with 77% of women aged 50-64. The three response indices were higher for younger women than older: crude population coverage ratio = 66.5%, crude invited population coverage ratio = 69.3%, corrected invited population coverage ratio = 76.8% for women aged 50-64, compared with 54.5%, 58.4%, and 60.7% respectively for women aged 65-79. All four biopsies done in the older women gave positive results, giving a cancer detection rate of 11.6/1000 compared with 4.1/1000 among younger women. CONCLUSIONS--These results show that there is a potential for high attendance at routine screening by older women if they are invited in the same way as younger women. If these results are found elsewhere the costs and benefits of screening older women should be reassessed. 相似文献

This study was carried out to elucidate the effect of glutathione S-transferase (GST) Ml and Tl polymorphisms on the aflatoxin-related hepatocarcinogenesis among chronic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). A total of 32 newly diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases and 73 age-matched controls selected from a cohort of 4,841 chronic HBsAg carriers who had been followed for 5 years were studied. The level of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-albumin adducts in their serum samples collected at the recruitment was examined by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbance assay, and genotypes of GST M1 and T1 were determined by PCR. There was a dose-response relationship between serum level of AFB1-albumin adducts and risk of HCC. The biological gradients between serum AFB1-albumin adducts level and HCC risk were observed among chronic HBsAg carriers who had null genotypes of GST M1 and/or T1 but not among those who had non-null genotypes. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratios of developing HCC for those who had low and high serum levels of AFB1-albumin adducts compared with those who had a undetectable adduct level as the referent (odds ratio = 1.0) were 4.1 and 12.4, respectively, for HBsAg carriers with null GST M1 genotype (P < .01, on the basis of the significance test for trend); 0.7 and 1.4 for those with non-null GST Ml genotype (P = .98); 1.8 and 10.2 for those with null GST T1 genotype (P < .05); and 1.3 and 0.8 for those with non-null GST T1 genotype (P = .93). The interaction between serum AFB1-albumin adduct level and polymorphisms of GST M1 and T1 was at marginal statistical significance levels (.05 < P < .10). 相似文献
