We have developed an analytical method to quantitate urinary 8-nitroguanine, a product of nitrative nucleic acid damage caused by reactive nitrogen species such as peroxynitrite and nitrogen dioxide. 8-Nitroguanine was purified from human urine using immunoaffinity columns with an anti-8-nitroguanine antibody, followed by quantitation by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection. Four sequential electrodes were used to (a) oxidize interfering compounds (+250 mV), (b) reduce nitrated bases (two online electrodes at -1000 mV), and (c) quantitate reduced derivatives (+150 mV). Using this system 8-nitroxanthine can also be detected, with the detection limits being 25 and 50 fmol/injection for 8-nitroguanine and 8-nitroxanthine, respectively. The method was used to analyze both adducts in the urine of smokers (n=12) and nonsmokers (n=17). We found that smokers excrete more 8-nitroguanine [median, 6.1 fmol/mg creatinine; interquartile range (IQR), 23.8] than nonsmokers (0; IQR, 0.90) (p=0.018), and although 8-nitroxanthine was detected in human urine, its level was not related to smoking status. This is the first report to show that 8-nitroguanine is present in human urine and the methodology developed can be used to study the pathogenic roles of this adduct in the etiology of cancers associated with cigarette smoking and inflammation. 相似文献

Inflammation mediated by infection is an important factor causing carcinogenesis. Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) infection is a risk factor of cholangiocarcinoma (CHCA), probably through chronic inflammation. Formation of 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were assessed in the liver of hamsters infected with OV. We newly produced specific anti-8-nitroguanine antibody without cross-reaction. Double immunofluorescence staining revealed that 8-oxodG and 8-nitroguanine were formed mainly in the same inflammatory cells and epithelium of bile ducts from day 7 and showed the strongest immunoreactivity on days 21 and 30, respectively. It is noteworthy that 8-oxodG and 8-nitroguanine still remained in epithelium of bile ducts on day 180, although amount of alanine aminotransferase activity returned to normal level. A time course of 8-nitroguanine was associated with iNOS expression. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that HO-1 expression and subsequent iron accumulation may be involved in enhancement of oxidative DNA damage in epithelium of small bile ducts. In conclusion, nitrative and oxidative DNA damage via iNOS expression in hamsters infected with OV may participate in CHCA carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Nucleic acid damage by reactive nitrogen and oxygen species may contribute to the carcinogenesis associated with chronic infection and inflammation. We examined 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation and nitric oxide (NO) production in hamsters infected with Opisthorchis viverrini (OV). Formation of 8-nitroguanine was assessed immunohistochemically with an antibody specific for 8-nitroguanine. 8-nitroguanine formation was found mainly in the cytoplasm and slightly in the nucleus of inflammatory cells and epithelial lining of bile duct at inflammatory areas in the liver. 8-nitroguanine immunoreactivity reached the highest intensity on day 30. A time profile of 8-nitroguanine formation was closely associated with that of plasma nitrate/nitrite. HPLC with an electrochemical detector revealed that the amount of 8-oxodG in the liver reached the maximal level on day 21. The mechanisms of 8-oxodG and 8-nitroguanine formation via O2*- and NO production triggered by OV infection were discussed in relation to cholangiocarcinoma development. 相似文献

To investigate whether mutant stem cells participate in inflammation-related carcinogenesis, we performed immunohistochemical analysis to examine nitrative and oxidative DNA lesions (8-nitroguanine and 8-oxodG) and a stem cell marker Oct3/4 in bladder tissues obtained from cystitis and bladder cancer patients infected with Schistosomahaematobium (S. haematobium). We also detected the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which lead to 8-nitroguanine formation. The staining intensity of 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxodG was significantly higher in bladder cancer and cystitis tissues than in normal tissues. iNOS expression was colocalized with NF-κB in 8-nitroguanine-positive tumor cells from bladder cancer patients. Oct3/4 expression was significantly increased in cells from S. haematobium-associated bladder cancer tissues in comparison to normal bladder and cancer tissues without infection. Oct3/4 was also expressed in epithelial cells of cystitis patients. Moreover, 8-nitroguanine was formed in Oct3/4-positive stem cells in S. haematobium-associated cystitis and cancer tissues. In conclusion, inflammation by S.haematobium infection may increase the number of mutant stem cells, in which iNOS-dependent DNA damage occurs via NF-κB activation, leading to tumor development. 相似文献

Polynuclear sulfur bridged complexes where the neutral complex tris(2-aminoethanethiolato)cobalt(III) acts as a tridentate ligand to rhodium(III), iridium(III) and osmium(III) have been prepared. These complexes have been characterized by electronic spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Along with the previously prepared complexes of iron(III), ruthenium(III) and cobalt(III), these complexes form two series of complexes with the group 8 and group 9 elements from all three transition series. 相似文献

Reactive nitrogen species, such as peroxynitrite, nitrogen oxides and nitryl chloride, have been implicated as a cause of diverse pathophysiological conditions, including inflammation, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. We previously reported that 8-nitroguanine is formed by reactions of guanine or calf-thymus DNA with peroxynitrite in vitro. In the present study, we have studied the formation of 8-nitroguanosine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine in reactions of calf-liver RNA with various reactive nitrogen species. 8-Nitroguanosine in RNA was found to be much more stable than 8-nitro-2' -deoxyguanosine in DNA, which rapidly depurinates to release 8-nitroguanine. Both 8-nitroguanosine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine were formed in calf-liver RNA following exposure to various reactive nitrogen species, such as synthetic peroxynitrite. They were also formed in RNA by reactive species formed from nitric oxide and superoxide anion generated concomitantly from 3-morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) and those formed with myeloperoxidase or horseradish peroxidase in the presence of nitrite and hydrogen peroxide. 8-Nitroguanosine was detected by HPLC with an electrochemical detector in enzymatic hydrolyzates of RNA isolated from human lung carcinoma cells incubated with synthetic peroxynitrite. Our results indicate that 8-nitroguanosine in cellular RNA could be measured as a marker of damage caused by endogenous reactive nitrogen species in tissues and cells. 相似文献

Background
Arsenic exposure induces overproduction of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in brain tissue and results in nucleic acid damage to the nerve cells. The 8-nitroguanine is one of the major products formed by the reaction of guanine, and ONOO-, and has been used as a popular biomarker of nucleic acid damage due to RNS attacking. In the present study, we examined whether the administration of taurine can protect against nucleic acid damage of brain neurons by arsenic-induced RNS.Materials and methods
Sixty mice (30 male and 30 female) weighing 19.5 ± 1.5 g were divided into 3 groups: (1) control group, (2) experimental group that received arsenic (As2O3), and (3) antagonistic group that received taurine with arsenic. Arsenic was administered for 60 days. 8-Nitroguanine expressions in brain neurons of mice were examined by the immunohistochemical method. Histopathological changes in brain tissues of mice were observed under light microscope and the immunohistochemistry method was used to investigate 8-nitroguanine expressions in cerebrum and cerebellum of mice.Results
In the control group, no abnormal histopathological changes were observed in brain tissue of the mice. In brain tissue of the mice exposed to arsenic, histopathological results showed swells, evident vacuolar degeneration in cytoplasm, karyorrhexis and karyolysis. Relatively light pathological changes were observed in brain of the mice co-administered arsenic and taurine. Little or no expression of 8-nitroguanine in brain tissue was observed in controls. However, intensive expression of 8-nitroguanine was found in brain tissue of mice exposed to arsenic and it was mainly distributed in nucleus neighbouring the nuclear membrane, but a little in cytoplasm. A weak expression of 8-nitroguanine was observed in brain cells of mice co-administered arsenic and taurine.Conclusions
The brain neurons may be the major target cells of arsenic neurotoxicity. Co-administration of arsenic and taurine can alleviate DNA damage of brain neurons caused by arsenic through the RNS signal pathway.9.

Electronic and vibrational optical activity of the set of neurohypophyseal hormones and their analogs was investigated to clarify the S-S bond solution conformation. The selected compounds include oxytocin (I), lysine vasopressin (II), arginine vasopressin (III), and their analogs (IV-IX), differing widely in their pharmacological properties. We have extended the already known electronic circular dichroism data by new information provided by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and Raman optical activity (ROA). The use of VCD brought additional details on three-dimensional structure of the chain reversal in the ring moiety and on its left handedness. Furthermore, Raman scattering and ROA allowed us to deduce the sense of the disulfide bond torsion. 相似文献

Oxidative and nitrative DNA damage in animals and patients with inflammatory diseases in relation to inflammation-related carcinogenesis 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Infection and chronic inflammation are proposed to contribute to carcinogenesis through inflammation-related mechanisms. Infection with hepatitis C virus, Helicobacter pylori and the liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini (OV), are important risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gastric cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, respectively. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and oral diseases, such as oral lichen planus (OLP) and leukoplakia, are associated with colon carcinogenesis and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), respectively. We performed a double immunofluorescence labeling study and found that nitrative and oxidative DNA lesion products, 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), were formed and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was expressed in epithelial cells and inflammatory cells at the site of carcinogenesis in humans and animal models. Antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic drugs dramatically diminished the formation of these DNA lesion markers and iNOS expression. These results suggest that oxidative and nitrative DNA damage occurs at the sites of carcinogenesis, regardless of etiology. Therefore, it is considered that excessive amounts of reactive nitrogen species produced via iNOS during chronic inflammation may play a key role in carcinogenesis by causing DNA damage. On the basis of our results, we propose that 8-nitroguanine is a promising biomarker to evaluate the potential risk of inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis. 相似文献

It is investigated how the odour of pyridine changes when substituents of different kinds are inserted on the pyridine ring. The relation between the space filling and electronic properties of molecules and odour is studied. Far infrared spectra have been recorded for pyridines in order to test a hypothetical correlation between odour and vibrational energies. 相似文献

The development of density functional theory (DFT) methods for the calculation of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and transparent spectral region optical rotation (OR) has revolutionized the determination of the absolute configurations (ACs) of chiral molecules using these chiroptical properties. We report the concerted application of DFT calculations of VCD, ECD, and OR to the determination of the ACs of the isoschizozygane alkaloid natural products, isoschizogaline, and isochizogamine, whose ACs have not previously been determined. The ACs of naturally occurring (-)-isoschizogaline and (-)-isoschizogamine, are both determined definitively to be 2R, 7R, 20S, 21S. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori infection causes chronic inflammation, which can lead to gastric carcinoma. A double immunofluorescence labeling study demonstrated that the level of 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) apparent in gastric gland epithelium was significantly higher in gastritis patients with H. pylori infection than in those without infection. A significant accumulation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, a prognostic factor for gastric cancer, was observed in gastric gland epithelial cells in patients with H. pylori infection as compared to those without infection, and its accumulation was closely correlated with the formation of 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxodG. These results suggest that nitrosative and oxidative DNA damage in gastric epithelial cells and their proliferation by H. pylori infection may lead to gastric carcinoma. 8-Nitroguanine could be not only a promising biomarker for inflammation but also a useful indicator of the risk of gastric cancer development in response to chronic H. pylori infection. 相似文献

Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a common gaseous photochemical compound in polluted air and cigarette smog. The toxicity of PAN has been found to depend on three pathways: (1) its oxidizing property that mimics peroxide or peroxynitrite; (2) its nitrating and hydroxylating properties similar to peroxynitrite; and (3) its acetylating property like acetic anhydride. The present investigations were intended to focus on the reactions of PAN with aromatic amino acids and guanine. When PAN interacted with tyrosine and guanine the major products were 3-nitrotyrosine, 3, 5-dinitrotyrosine, 8-hydroxyguanine and 8-nitroguanine. These compounds have been used as indicators for the presence of peroxynitrite in previous studies. When PAN interacted with phenylalanine, the products were 3-nitrotyrosine, 4-nitrophenylalanine, p-tyrosine, o-tyrosine and m-tyrosine. 5-Hydroxytryptophan is produced from the reaction of PAN with tryptophan. Furthermore, the formation of nitrated tyrosines was also found in the PAN-treated HL-60 cells. A high yield of dityrosine was formed when PAN and peroxynitrite were reacted with tyrosine, probably through free radical oxidation. We also found that peroxynitrite and PAN are similar in their oxidizing activity. From these findings, we suggest that peroxynitrite may be considered as the reactive intermediate of PAN. 相似文献

We investigated the reaction of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) with NO/O2 gas mixture under physiological condition and detected 8-nitroguanine, which is known as a novel DNA lesion caused by peroxynitrite (ONOO-). The yield increased with increase in the ratio of O2 and pH. The reaction mechanism is discussed. 相似文献

Nitryl chloride, formed by reaction of hypochlorous acid with nitrite, might contribute to nitrative damage of biomolecules in addition to peroxynitrite. Damage of DNA by these reactive nitrogen oxide species is implicated in carcinogenesis associated with chronic infections and inflammation. Nitrated DNA adducts, such as 8-nitroguanine and 8-nitroxanthine, are not stable in DNA since they undergo spontaneous depurination, leading to apurinic site formation. In this report, we investigate the protective effect of biological and dietary antioxidants in inhibiting DNA nitration induced by nitryl chloride. The effect of inhibition was evaluated by decrease of 8-nitroxanthine and 8-nitroguanine formation. Among the 21 compounds examined, dihydrolipoic acid is the most effective in preventing DNA nitration, followed by N-acetyl-L-cysteine and folic acid. For sulfur-containing compounds, the more highly reduced compounds are stronger inhibitors of DNA nitration. The major product of N-acetyl-L-cysteine reaction with nitryl chloride is characterized as the (R)-2-acetylamino-3-sulfopropionic acid, a physiologically irreversible product, suggesting that nitryl chloride is a strong oxidizing agent. 相似文献

Nitration of tyrosine, in both protein-bound form and free amino acid form, can readily occur in cells under oxidative/nitrative stress. In addition to serving as a biomarker of oxidative/nitrative stress, elevated levels of nitrotyrosine have been shown to cause DNA damage or trigger apoptosis. An important issue is whether the human body is equipped with mechanisms to counteract the potentially harmful effects of nitrotyrosine. Sulfate conjugation, as mediated by the cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs), is widely used for the biotransformation and disposal of a variety of drugs and other xenobiotics, as well as endogenous thyroid/steroid hormones and catecholamine neurotransmitters. Recent studies have revealed that the sulfation of nitrotyrosine occurs in cells under oxidative/nitrative stress, and have pinpointed the SULT1A3 as the responsible SULT enzyme. In this review, we summarized the available information concerning the biochemistry of nitrotyrosine sulfation and the effects of genetic polymorphisms on the nitrotyrosine sulfating activity of SULT1A3. Functional implications of the sulfation of nitrotyrosine are discussed. 相似文献

The ultraviolet resonance Raman (UV RR) spectra of functional ATP/membrane-bound Na+K+-ATPase complexes have been obtained. The substrate binding in the enzyme active site has been shown to be accompanied with significant changes in the electronic vibrational structure of the adenine ring. From the spectral analysis of ATP, 8-Br-ATP and 6-NHMe-adenine at various pH values the conclusion was made that N1 and the NH2, group and, probably, N7 of the substrate adenine part, interact with the protein surroundings via hydrogen bonds. 相似文献

In addition to serving as a biomarker of oxidative/nitrative stress, elevated levels of nitrotyrosine have been shown to cause DNA damage or trigger apoptosis. Whether the body is equipped with mechanisms for protecting against the potentially harmful nitrotyrosine remains unknown. The present study was designed to investigate the possibility that sulfation serves as a pathway for the metabolism/regulation of nitrotyrosine. Using metabolic labelling, nitrotyrosine O-[35S]sulfate was found to be produced and released into the medium of HepG2 human hepatoma cells labelled with [35S]sulfate in the presence of nitrotyrosine. To identify the enzyme(s) responsible for nitrotyrosine sulfation, a systematic study of all eleven known human cytosolic SULTs (sulfotransferases) was performed. Of the 11 enzymes tested, only SULT1A3 displayed sulfating activity toward nitrotyrosine. The pH-dependence and kinetic constants of SULT1A3 with nitrotyrosine or dopamine as substrate were determined. To examine whether the sulfation of nitrotyrosine occurs in the context of cellular physiology, HepG2 cells labelled with [35S]sulfate were treated with SIN-1 (morpholinosydnonimine), a peroxynitrite generator. Increments of nitrotyrosine O-[35S]sulfate were detected in the medium of HepG2 cells treated with higher concentrations of SIN-1. To gain insight into the physiological relevance of nitrotyrosine sulfation, a time-course study was performed using [3H]tyrosine-labelled HepG2 cells treated with SIN-1. The findings confirm that the bulk of free [3H]nitrotyrosine inside the cells was present in the unconjugated form. The proportion of sulfated [3H]nitrotyrosine increased dramatically in the medium over time, implying that sulfation may play a significant role in the metabolism of free nitrotyrosine. 相似文献
