Body iron is a contributor to oxidative damage of DNA

The transition metal iron is catalytically highly active in vitro, and not surprisingly, body iron has been suggested to promote oxidative stress in vivo. In the current analysis we studied the association of serum ferritin concentration and serum soluble transferrin receptor concentration with daily urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine excretion, a marker of oxidative stress, in 48 mildly dyslipidemic men in East Finland. In multivariate linear regression analyses allowing for age, smoking, body mass index and physical exercise, serum ferritin concentration predicted the excretion rate at B = 0.17 (95% CI 0.08-0.26, P = 0.001), and serum soluble transferrin receptor to ferritin concentration ratio (TfR/ferritin) predicted the excretion rate at B = - 0.13 (95% CI - 0.21 to - 0.05, P = 0.002). Our data suggest that body iron contributes to excess oxidative stress already at non-iron overload concentrations in these subjects.

Phytuberol,from Japanese Domestic Tobacco,Nicotiana tabacum cv. Suifu

Carcinogenesis is believed to be induced through the oxidative damage of DNA, and antioxidants are expected to suppress it. So, the polyphenolic antioxidants in daily foods were investigated to see whether they protect against genetic damage by active oxygen. In the evaluation, we used a bioassay and a chemical determination, a Salmonella mutagenicity test for mutation by a N-hydroxyl radical from one of the dietary carcinogens 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole and the formation of 8-hydroxyl (8-OHdG) from 2′-deoxyguanosine (2′-dG) in a Fenton OH-radical generating system. Thirty-one antioxidants including flavonoids were compared in terms of radical-trapping activity with bacterial DNA and 2′-dG. Antioxidants inhibited the mutation but the IC₅₀ values were in the mM order. Against 8-OHdG formation, only α-tocopherol had a suppressive effect with an IC₅₀ of 1.5 μM. Thus, except α-tocopherol, the dietary antioxidants did not scavenge the biological radicals faster than bacterial DNA and intact 2′-dG, indicating that they failed to prevent oxidative gene damage and probably carcinogenesis.     

The enhancement of oxidative DNA damage by anti-diabetic metformin,buformin, and phenformin,via nitrogen-centered radicals

Metformin (N,N-dimethylbiguanide), buformin (1-butylbiguanide), and phenformin (1-phenethylbiguanide) are anti-diabetic biguanide drugs, expected to having anti-cancer effect. The mechanism of anti-cancer effect by these drugs is not completely understood. In this study, we demonstrated that these drugs dramatically enhanced oxidative DNA damage under oxidative condition. Metformin, buformin, and phenformin enhanced generation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in isolated DNA reacted with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and Cu(II), although these drugs did not form 8-oxodG in the absence of H₂O₂ or Cu(II). An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study, utilizing alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone and 3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide as spin trapping agents, showed that nitrogen-centered radicals were generated from biguanides in the presence of Cu(II) and H₂O₂, and that these radicals were decreased by the addition of DNA. These results suggest that biguanides enhance Cu(II)/H₂O₂-mediated 8-oxodG generation via nitrogen-centered radical formation. The enhancing effect on oxidative DNA damage may play a role on anti-cancer activity.     

Arsenic induces oxidative DNA damage in mammalian cells

Although arsenic is a well-established human carcinogen, the underlying carcinogenic mechanism(s) is not known. Using the human-hamster hybrid (A_L) cell mutagenic assay that is sensitive in detecting mutagens that induce predominately multilocus deletions, we showed previously that arsenite is indeed a potent gene and chromosomal mutagen and that oxyradicals may be involved in the mutagenic process. In the present study, the effects of free radical scavenging enzymes on the cytotoxic and mutagenic potential of arsenic were examined using the A_L cells. Concurrent treatment of cells with either superoxide dismutase or catalase reduced both the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of arsenite by an average of 2–3 fold, respectively. Using immunoperoxidase staining with a monoclonal antibody specific for 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), we demonstrated that arsenic induced oxidative DNA damage in A_L cells. This induction was significantly reduced in the presence of the antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, reducing the intracellular levels of non-protein sulfhydryls (mainly glutathione) using buthionine S-R-Sulfoximine increased the total mutant yield by more than 3-fold as well as the proportion of mutants with multilocus deletions. Taken together, our data provide clear evidence that reactive oxygen species play an important causal role in the genotoxicity of arsenic in mammalian cells.     

Uptake and release of63Ni2+ byXenopus embryos during early cleavage stages

Summary Uptake and release of⁶³Ni was studied in dejelliedXenopus laevis embryos exposed to⁶³Ni²⁺ (0.3–30 mol/1) for 0.5-h intervals during the period 1–4.5 h post-fertilization (i.e. from first cleavage to early blastula stage). At first cleavage, the mean uptake of⁶³Ni by embryos was 12-17 times that by non-fertilized eggs, suggesting that conversion of the vitelline envelope to the fertilization envelope enhanced integumental permeability to⁶³Ni²⁺. 63 Ni uptake by embryos at the 1-2-cell stage averaged 1.8–2.5 times that at the early blastula stage. An average of 5% of total⁶³Ni in washed embryos was recovered in isolated fertilization envelopes, indicating that⁶³Ni²⁺ passed through the envelope into internal compartments. Progressive increases of⁶³Ni uptake were seen with increasing exposure levels; after exposure during 1–1.5 h post-fertilization to the highest concentration of⁶³Ni²⁺ (30 mol/1),⁶³Ni uptake averaged 11.4 (SD±5.1) pmol/embryo. Rapid efflux of⁶³Ni was noted after⁶³Ni²⁺-exposed embryos were transferred to nickel-free medium; mean⁶³Ni contents at 0.25 h and 2 h post-exposure diminished to 50% and 15% of the initial values, regardless of the exposure level. The finding thatXenopus embryos are permeable to⁶³Ni²⁺ during early cleavage stages provides a convenient experimental system to investigate the embryotoxicity and teratogenicity of nickel.     

Chemopreventive effect of vanadium in a rodent model of chemical hepatocarcinogenesis: reflections in oxidative DNA damage, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence profile and metallothionein expression

In the present study, we investigated the antitumour efficacy of vanadium in a defined rodent model of experimental hepatocarcinogenesis. Hepatic preneoplasia was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats with a single, necrogenic, intraperitoneal injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (200 mg/kg body weight) followed by promotion with phenobarbital (PB). The levels of modified DNA bases 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a potential marker involved in the initiation of carcinogenesis, were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, whereas tissue trace element status and expression of metallothionein (MT), a Cu–Zn metalloprotein associated with neoplastic cell growth and subsequent development of premalignant phenotype of the cell, were studied by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and enzyme-coupled immunohistochemistry, respectively. There was a significant and steady elevation of modified bases (8-OHdG) along with substantial increase in MT immunoexpression and disturbance in trace element homeostasis following DEN exposure. Supplementation of vanadium at a dose of 0.5 ppm for four consecutive weeks strictly abated the formation of 8-OHdG (P < 0.0001; 81.28%) in preneoplastic rat liver. In a long-term DEN plus PB regimen, vanadium was able to limit in situ MT expression with a concomitant decrease in MT immunoreactivity (P < 0.05). Furthermore, vanadium treatment throughout the study restored hepatic levels of essential trace elements and decreased nodular incidence (58.34%) and nodule multiplicity (P < 0.001; 66.89%) in rats treated with DEN plus PB. Taken together, the study provides evidence in support of the chemopreventive potential of vanadium in limiting neoplastic transformation during the preneoplastic stages of hepatocarcinogenesis in rats.     

Application of gas chromatography-surface ionization organic mass spectrometry to forensic toxicology

Surface ionization (SI), which consists in the formation of positive and negative ions along the course of thermal desorption of particles from a solid surface, was first applied as a detector for gas chromatography (GC), GC-surface ionization detection (SID); we developed many new sensitive methods for the determination of abused and other drugs by GC-SID. Recently, Fujii has devised a combination of SI and a quadrupole mass spectrometer and named this system a surface ionization organic mass spectrometer (SIOMS), which is highly selective and sensitive for organic compounds containing tertiary amino groups. We have tried to apply this mass spectrometer to forensic toxicological study; so far we have succeeded in determining important drugs-of-abuse and toxic compounds, such as phencyclidine (PCP), pethidine, pentazocine, MPTP and its derivatives from human body fluids with high sensitivity and selectivity. In this review, we describe our recent studies on the application of GC-SIOMS to forensic toxicology.     

Oxidative DNA damage and influence of genetic polymorphisms among urban and rural schoolchildren exposed to benzene

Traffic related urban air pollution is a major environmental health problem in many large cities. Children living in urban areas are exposed to benzene and other toxic pollutants simultaneously on a regular basis. Assessment of benzene exposure and oxidative DNA damage in schoolchildren in Bangkok compared with the rural schoolchildren was studied through the use of biomarkers.Benzene levels in ambient air at the roadside adjacent to Bangkok schools was 3.95-fold greater than that of rural school areas. Personal exposure to benzene in Bangkok schoolchildren was 3.04-fold higher than that in the rural schoolchildren. Blood benzene, urinary benzene and urinary muconic acid (MA) levels were significantly higher in the Bangkok schoolchildren. A significantly higher level of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in leukocytes and in urine was found in Bangkok children than in the rural children. There was a significant correlation between individual benzene exposure level and blood benzene (r_s = 0.193, P < 0.05), urinary benzene (r_s = 0.298, P < 0.05), urinary MA (r_s = 0.348, P < 0.01), and 8-OHdG in leukocyte (r_s = 0.130, P < 0.05). In addition, a significant correlation between urinary MA and 8-OHdG in leukocytes (r_s = 0.241, P < 0.05) was also found. Polymorphisms of various xenobiotic metabolizing genes responsible for susceptibility to benzene toxicity have been studied; however only the GSTM1 genotypes had a significant effect on urinary MA excretion.Our data indicates that children living in the areas of high traffic density are exposed to a higher level of benzene than those living in rural areas. Exposure to higher level of benzene in urban children may contribute to oxidative DNA damage, suggesting an increased health risk from traffic benzene emission.     

Catechol-estrogen modified DNA: a better antigen for cancer autoantibody

Estrogens are known mutagenic and carcinogenic risk factors. Non-enzymatic oxidation of catechol-estrogens in the presence of copper is reported to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can cause DNA damage. We show that DNA modification in the presence of 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE(2)) and copper (Cu-II) results in single and double strand breaks, base modification, hyperchromicity and change in ellipticity. Modified DNA (4-OHE(2)-Cu(II)-DNA) was highly immunogenic in experimental animals. Induced anti-4-OHE(2)-Cu(II)-DNA antibodies were effectively used as a probe for detecting oxidative lesions in human genomic DNA and for the estimation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels in the urine of cancer patients. Circulating antibodies from cancer patients showed high binding to 4-OHE(2)-Cu(II)-DNA as compared to native DNA. Our results imply that interaction of catechol-estrogen and copper leads to the production of potent ROS, capable of causing DNA damage, thus playing an important role in carcinogenesis. The modified DNA presents unique epitopes which may be one of the factors for autoantibody induction in cancer.     

Damage to Cultivated Japanese Pearl Oysters by Oxidative Stress That Was Related to “Mass Mortality”

Increased blood-DNA breakage was observed in diseased pearl oysters. They showed significant formation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and malondialdehyde (MDA), whereas the oysters that had a low mortality rate from the disease had high activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and low amounts of 8-OHdG and MDA. These results suggest that radical damage had occurred only in the diseased pearl oysters with the cytolysis of their haemocytes, which was related to the mass mortality of the Japanese pearl oysters.
