Oxidative stress-induced DNA damage by particulate air pollution 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) is associated with pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The mechanisms of PM-induced health effects are believed to involve inflammation and oxidative stress. The oxidative stress mediated by PM may arise from direct generation of reactive oxygen species from the surface of particles, soluble compounds such as transition metals or organic compounds, altered function of mitochondria or NADPH-oxidase, and activation of inflammatory cells capable of generating ROS and reactive nitrogen species. Resulting oxidative DNA damage may be implicated in cancer risk and may serve as marker for oxidative stress relevant for other ailments caused by particulate air pollution. There is overwhelming evidence from animal experimental models, cell culture experiments, and cell free systems that exposure to diesel exhaust and diesel exhaust particles causes oxidative DNA damage. Similarly, various preparations of ambient air PM induce oxidative DNA damage in in vitro systems, whereas in vivo studies are scarce. Studies with various model/surrogate particle preparations, such as carbon black, suggest that the surface area is the most important determinant of effect for ultrafine particles (diameter less than 100 nm), whereas chemical composition may be more important for larger particles. The knowledge concerning mechanisms of action of PM has prompted the use of markers of oxidative stress and DNA damage for human biomonitoring in relation to ambient air. By means of personal monitoring and biomarkers a few studies have attempted to characterize individual exposure, explore mechanisms and identify significant sources to size fractions of ambient air PM with respect to relevant biological effects. In these studies guanine oxidation in DNA has been correlated with exposure to PM(2.5) and ultrafine particles outdoor and indoor. Oxidative stress-induced DNA damage appears to an important mechanism of action of urban particulate air pollution. Related biomarkers and personal monitoring may be useful tools for risk characterization. 相似文献

The gastrointestinal route of exposure to particulate matter is important because particles are ingested via contaminated foods and inhaled particles are swallowed when removed from the airways by the mucociliary clearance system. We investigated the effect of an intragastric administration by oral gavage of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) in terms of DNA damage, oxidative stress and DNA repair in colon epithelial cells, liver, and lung of rats. Eight rats per group were exposed to Standard Reference Material 2975 at 0.064 or 0.64 mg/kg bodyweight for 6 and 24 h. Increased levels of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine lesions were observed at the highest dose after 6 and 24 h in all three organs. 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine is repaired by oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1); upregulation of this repair system was observed as elevated pulmonary OGG1 mRNA levels after 24 h at both doses of DEP, but not in the colon and liver. A general response of the antioxidant defence system is further indicated by elevated levels of heme oxygenase 1 mRNA in the liver and lung 24 h after administration. The level of bulky DNA adducts was increased in liver and lung at both doses after 6 and 24h (DNA adducts in colon epithelium were not investigated). In summary, DEP administered via the gastrointestinal tract at low doses relative to ambient exposure generates DNA damage and increase the expression of defence mechanisms in organs such as the lung and liver. The oral exposure route should be taken into account in risk assessment of particulate matter. 相似文献

Nanomaterials are frontier technological products used in different manufactured goods. Because of their unique physicochemical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are finding numerous applications in electronics, aerospace devices, computers, and chemical, polymer, and pharmaceutical industries. SWCNT are relatively recently discovered members of the carbon allotropes that are similar in structure to fullerenes and graphite. Previously, we (47) have reported that pharyngeal aspiration of purified SWCNT by C57BL/6 mice caused dose-dependent granulomatous pneumonia, oxidative stress, acute inflammatory/cytokine responses, fibrosis, and decrease in pulmonary function. To avoid potential artifactual effects due to instillation/agglomeration associated with SWCNT, we conducted inhalation exposures using stable and uniform SWCNT dispersions obtained by a newly developed aerosolization technique (2). The inhalation of nonpurified SWCNT (iron content of 17.7% by weight) at 5 mg/m(3), 5 h/day for 4 days was compared with pharyngeal aspiration of varying doses (5-20 microg per mouse) of the same SWCNT. The chain of pathological events in both exposure routes was realized through synergized interactions of early inflammatory response and oxidative stress culminating in the development of multifocal granulomatous pneumonia and interstitial fibrosis. SWCNT inhalation was more effective than aspiration in causing inflammatory response, oxidative stress, collagen deposition, and fibrosis as well as mutations of K-ras gene locus in the lung of C57BL/6 mice. 相似文献

Unusual inflammatory and fibrogenic pulmonary responses to single-walled carbon nanotubes in mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Shvedova AA Kisin ER Mercer R Murray AR Johnson VJ Potapovich AI Tyurina YY Gorelik O Arepalli S Schwegler-Berry D Hubbs AF Antonini J Evans DE Ku BK Ramsey D Maynard A Kagan VE Castranova V Baron P 《American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology》2005,289(5):L698-L708
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are new materials of emerging technological importance. As SWCNT are introduced into the life cycle of commercial products, their effects on human health and environment should be addressed. We demonstrated that pharyngeal aspiration of SWCNT elicited unusual pulmonary effects in C57BL/6 mice that combined a robust but acute inflammation with early onset yet progressive fibrosis and granulomas. A dose-dependent increase in the protein, LDH, and gamma-glutamyl transferase activities in bronchoalveolar lavage were found along with accumulation of 4-hydroxynonenal (oxidative biomarker) and depletion of glutathione in lungs. An early neutrophils accumulation (day 1), followed by lymphocyte (day 3) and macrophage (day 7) influx, was accompanied by early elevation of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta; day 1) followed by fibrogenic transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 (peaked on day 7). A rapid progressive fibrosis found in mice exhibited two distinct morphologies: 1) SWCNT-induced granulomas mainly associated with hypertrophied epithelial cells surrounding SWCNT aggregates and 2) diffuse interstitial fibrosis and alveolar wall thickening likely associated with dispersed SWCNT. In vitro exposure of murine RAW 264.7 macrophages to SWCNT triggered TGF-beta1 production similarly to zymosan but generated less TNF-alpha and IL-1beta. SWCNT did not cause superoxide or NO.production, active SWCNT engulfment, or apoptosis in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Functional respiratory deficiencies and decreased bacterial clearance (Listeria monocytogenes) were found in mice treated with SWCNT. Equal doses of ultrafine carbon black particles or fine crystalline silica (SiO2) did not induce granulomas or alveolar wall thickening and caused a significantly weaker pulmonary inflammation and damage. 相似文献

8-Hydroxyguanosine formed in human lung tissues and the association with diesel exhaust particles 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Diesel exhaust particles consist of various organic chemicals, heavy metals, and carbon particles. Knowledge of the fate of organic chemicals and carbon particles in the lungs is important to determine the mechanisms responsible for lung tumors. In the present study, diesel particle extracts were found to show mutagenicity for YG3003, a sensitive strain to some oxidative mutagens, as well as other mutant strains, and those of lung tissues obtained from lung cancer patients exhibited potent mutagenicity. Formation of 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as a biomarker of oxidative damage was analyzed with in vitro and in vivo assay systems. The 8-OHdG was detected in all 22 cases of lung tissues with carcinomas tested and their levels increased with the increasing age of the patients, suggesting a correlation between age and the presence of carbon particles in lung tissues. Therefore, the formation of 8-OHdG due to diesel exhaust particles was investigated via intratracheal injections into mice. 8-OHdG formation was elevated when carboneceous particles, after removal of organic chemicals with various solvents, were administered to mice, but it was not elevated when polyaromatic compounds such as benzo[a]pyrene, 1,8-dinitropyrene, and 1-nitropyrene were used in the same procedure in mice. The carboneceous particles were formed from a giant particle that was aggregated by micro-particles with diameters of 1.47 +/- 1.34 to 1.05 +/- 0.83 microm. These results suggest that carboneceous particles, but not mutagens and carcinogens, promote the formation of 8-OHdG, and that as a mechanism, alveolar macrophages may be involved in oxidative damage. The oxidative damage may be due to the fact that the mutation is involved with the generation of a hydroxyl radical during phagocytosis, and the hydroxyl radical leads to hydroxylation at the C-8 position of the deoxyguanosine residue in the DNA. 相似文献

DNA repair may prevent increased levels of oxidatively damaged DNA from prolonged oxidative stress induced by, e.g. exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEP). We studied oxidative damage to DNA in broncho-alveolar lavage cells, lungs, and liver after 4 × 1.5 h inhalations of DEP (20 mg/m3) in Ogg1- / - and wild type (WT) mice with similar extent of inflammation. DEP exposure increased lung levels of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in Ogg1- / - mice, whereas no effect on 8-oxodG or oxidized purines in terms of formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (FPG) sites was observed in WT mice. In both unexposed and exposed Ogg1- / - mice the level of FPG sites in the lungs was 3-fold higher than in WT mice. The high basal level of FPG sites in Ogg1- / - mice probably saturated the assay and prevented detection of DEP-generated damage. In conclusion, Ogg1- / - mice have elevated pulmonary levels of FPG sites and accumulate genomic 8-oxodG after repeated inhalations of DEP. 相似文献

Recent studies have identified an indirect genotoxicity pathway involving inflammation as one of the mechanisms underlying the carcinogenic effects of air pollution/diesel exhaust particles (DEP). We investigated the short-term effects of DEP on markers of inflammation and genotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. DEP induced an increase in the mRNA level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and a higher level of DNA strand breaks in the human lung epithelial cell line A549 in vitro. For the in vivo study, mice were exposed by inhalation to 20 or 80 mg/m3 DEP either as a single 90-min exposure or as four repeated 90-min exposures (5 or 20 mg/m3) and the effects in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) cells and/or lung tissue were characterized. Inhalation of DEP induced a dose-dependent inflammatory response with infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils and elevated gene expression of IL-6 in the lungs of mice. The inflammatory response was accompanied by DNA strand breaks in BAL cells and oxidative DNA damage and increased levels of bulky DNA adducts in lung tissue, the latter indicative of direct genotoxicity. The effect of a large single dose of DEP was more pronounced and sustained on IL-6 expression and oxidative DNA damage in the lung tissue than the effect of the same dose administered over four days, whereas the reverse pattern was seen in BAL cells. Our results suggest that the effects of DEP depend on the rate of delivery of the particle dose. The mutation frequency (MF), after DEP exposure, was determined using the transgenic Muta Mouse and a similar exposure regimen. No increase was observed in MF in lung tissue 28-days after exposure. In conclusion, short-term exposure to DEP resulted in DNA strand breaks in BAL cells, oxidative DNA damage and DNA adducts in lungs; and suggested that DNA damage in part is a consequence of inflammatory processes. The response was not associated with increased MF, indicating that the host defence mechanisms were sufficient to counteract the adverse effects of inflammation. Thus, there may be thresholds for the inflammation-associated genotoxic effects of DEP inhalation. 相似文献

Air pollution by diesel exhaust particles is associated with elevated mortality and increased hospital admissions in individuals with respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. During active inflammation monocytes are recruited to the airways and can replace resident alveolar macrophages. We therefore investigated whether chronic fourteen day exposure to low concentrations of diesel exhaust particles can alter the phenotype and function of monocytes from healthy individuals and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Monocytes were purified from the blood of healthy individuals and people with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Monocyte-derived macrophages were generated in the presence or absence of diesel exhaust particles and their phenotypes studied through investigation of their lifespan, cytokine generation in response to Toll like receptor agonists and heat killed bacteria, and expression of surface markers. Chronic fourteen day exposure of monocyte-derived macrophages to concentrations of diesel exhaust particles >10 µg/ml caused mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction, and a gradual loss of cells over time both in healthy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease individuals. Chronic exposure to lower concentrations of diesel exhaust particles impaired CXCL8 cytokine responses to lipopolysaccharide and heat killed E. coli, and this phenotype was associated with a reduction in CD14 and CD11b expression. Chronic diesel exhaust particle exposure may therefore alter both numbers and function of lung macrophages differentiating from locally recruited monocytes in the lungs of healthy people and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 相似文献

The study was aimed to estimate whether rat's exposure to cadmium (Cd; 50 mg/l in drinking water for 12 weeks) and/or ethanol (EtOH; 5 g/kg b.wt./24 h p.o. for 12 weeks), noted by us to induce oxidative stress and stimulate lipid peroxidation, can cause oxidative damage to proteins and DNA, and whether and to what extent the effects of co-exposure differ from those observed under the treatment with each substance alone. Protein carbonyl groups (PC) and protein thiol groups (PSH) in the serum, liver and kidney, as markers of oxidative protein damage, and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in the serum, as a marker of DNA oxidation, were determined. The exposure to Cd or/and EtOH led to oxidative protein damage (increased PC and decreased PSH concentrations in the serum and/or liver), and to DNA oxidation (increased 8-OHdG concentration in the serum). The effects were more advanced at the co-exposure than at the treatment with each substance alone. The more serious damage to proteins and DNA at the co-exposure to Cd and EtOH seems to be the effect of independent action of both xenobiotics. The results of the present paper together with our recent findings in the same rats seem to indicate that at co-exposure to Cd and EtOH proteins and DNA may be more vulnerable to oxidation than lipids. The paper is the first report suggesting that excessive EtOH consumption during exposure to Cd may increase the risk of health damage via enhancing protein and DNA oxidation. 相似文献

Chronic inflammation is characterized by the influx of neutrophils and is associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen species that can damage DNA. Oxidative DNA damage is generally thought to be involved in the increased risk of cancer in inflamed tissues. We previously demonstrated that activated neutrophil mediated oxidative stress results in a reduction in nucleotide excision repair (NER) capacity, which could further enhance mutagenesis. Inflammation and oxidative stress are critical factors in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease that is linked with enhanced liver cancer risk. In this report, we therefore evaluated the role of neutrophils and the associated oxidative stress in damage recognition and DNA repair in steatotic livers of 35 severely obese subjects with either nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (n=17) or steatosis alone (n=18). The neutrophilic influx in liver was assessed by myeloperoxidase (MPO) staining and the amount of oxidative DNA damage by measuring M(1)dG adducts. No differences in M(1)dG adduct levels were observed between patients with or without NASH and also not between individuals with high or low MPO immunoreactivity. However, we found that high expression of MPO in the liver, irrespective of disease status, reduced the damage recognition capacity as determined by staining for histone 2AX phosphorylation (γH2AX). This reduction in γH2AX formation in individuals with high MPO immunoreactivity was paralleled by a significant decrease in NER capacity as assessed by a functional repair assay, and was not related to cell proliferation. Thus, the observed reduction in NER capacity upon hepatic inflammation is associated with and may be a consequence of reduced damage recognition. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of liver cancer development in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. 相似文献

Whilst there is growing concern over the potential detrimental impact of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) on the natural environment, little is known about their interactions with other contaminants. In the present study, marine mussels (Mytilus sp.) were exposed for 3 days to C(60) fullerenes (C(60); 0.10-1 mg l(-1)) and a model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), fluoranthene (32-100 μg l(-1)), either alone or in combination. The first two experiments were conducted by exposing the organisms to different concentrations of C(60) and fluoranthene alone, in order to determine the effects on total glutathione levels (as a measure of generic oxidative stress), genotoxicity (DNA strand breaks using Comet assay in haemocytes), DNA adduct analyses (using (32)P-postlabelling method) in different organs, histopathological changes in different tissues (i.e. adductor muscle, digestive gland and gills) and physiological effects (feeding or clearance rate). Subsequently, in the third experiment, a combined exposure of C(60) plus fluoranthene (0.10 mg l(-1) and 32 μg l(-1), respectively) was carried out to evaluate all endpoints mentioned above. Both fluoranthene and C(60) on their own caused concentration-dependent increases in DNA strand breaks as determined by the Comet assay. Formation of DNA adducts however could not be detected for any exposure conditions. Combined exposure to C(60) and fluoranthene additively enhanced the levels of DNA strand breaks along with a 2-fold increase in the total glutathione content. In addition, significant accumulation of C(60) was observed in all organs, with highest levels in digestive gland (24.90 ± 4.91μg C(60) g(-1) ww). Interestingly, clear signs of abnormalities in adductor muscle, digestive gland and gills were observed by histopathology. Clearance rates indicated significant differences compared to the control with exposure to C(60), and C(60)/fluoranthene combined treatments, but not after fluoranthene exposure alone. This study demonstrated that at the selected concentrations, both C(60) and fluoranthene evoke toxic responses and genetic damage. The combined exposure produced enhanced damage with additive rather than synergistic effects. 相似文献

Arsenic and fluoride are major contaminants of drinking water. Mechanisms of toxicity following individual exposure to arsenic or fluoride are well known. However, it is not explicit how combined exposure to arsenic and fluoride leads to cellular and/or DNA damage. The present study was planned to assess (i) oxidative stress during combined chronic exposure to arsenic and fluoride in drinking water, (ii) correlation of oxidative stress with cellular and DNA damage and (iii) mechanism of cellular damage using IR spectroscopy. Mice were exposed to arsenic and fluoride (50 ppm) either individually or in combination for 28 weeks. Arsenic or fluoride exposure individually led to a significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and associated oxidative stress in blood, liver and brain. Individual exposure to the two toxicants showed significant depletion of blood glutathione (GSH) and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity, and single-stranded DNA damage using a comet assay in lymphocytes. We also observed an increase in the activity of ATPase, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) and a decreased, reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH?:?GSSG) ratio in the liver and brain. Antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were decreased and increased in liver and brain respectively. The changes were more pronounced in liver compared to brain suggesting liver to be more susceptible to the toxic effects of arsenic and fluoride. Interestingly, combined exposure to arsenic and fluoride resulted in less pronounced toxic effects compared to their individual effects based on biochemical variables, IR spectra, DNA damage (TUNEL and comet assays) and histopathological observations. IR spectra suggested that arsenic or fluoride perturbs the strength of protein and amide groups; however, the shifts in peaks were not pronounced during combined exposure. These results thus highlight the role of arsenic- or fluoride-induced oxidative stress, DNA damage and protein interaction as the major determinants of toxicity, along with the differential toxic effects during arsenic-fluoride interaction during co-exposure. The study further corroborates our earlier observations that at the higher concentration co-exposures to these toxicants do not elicit synergistic toxicity. 相似文献

Several chemical mutagens and carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrated PAHs, are adsorbed to the surface of diesel exhaust particles (DEP). DEP can induce formation of reactive oxygen species and cause oxidative DNA damage as well as bulky carcinogen DNA adducts. Lung tissue is a target organ for DEP induced cancer following inhalation. Recent studies have provided evidence that the lung is also a target organ for DNA damage and cancer after oral exposure to other complex mixtures of PAHs. The genotoxic effect of oral administration of DEP was investigated, in terms of markers of DNA damage, mutations and repair, in the lung of Big Blue® rats fed a diet with 0, 0.2, 0.8, 2, 8, 20 or 80 mg DEP/kg feed for 21 days. There was no significant increase in the mutation frequency in the cII gene. However, an increase of DNA damage measured as DNA strand breaks (comet assay) and bulky DNA adducts (32P post labeling) was observed. The level of DNA strand breaks increased significantly at all dose levels while the level of DNA adducts increased significantly only at the intermediate dose levels. Similarly, the number of oxidized DNA bases measured as endonuclease III and fapyguanine glycosylase (FPG) sensitive sites increased at the intermediate dose levels. The induction of DNA damage by DEP exposure did not increase the expression of the repair genes OGG1 and ERCC1 at the mRNA level. The present study indicates that the lung is a target organ for primary DNA damage following oral exposure to DEP. DNA damage was induced following exposure to relatively low levels of DEP, but under the conditions used in the present experiment DNA damage did not result in an increased mutation rate. 相似文献

3-Nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA) is an extremely potent mutagen in diesel exhaust. It is a lung carcinogen to rats, and therefore a suspected carcinogen to human. In order to clarify the mechanism of carcinogenicity of 3-NBA, we investigated oxidative DNA damage by N-hydroxy-3-aminobenzanthrone (N-OH-ABA), a metabolite of 3-NBA, using 32P-labeled DNA fragments from the human p53 tumor-suppressor gene. N-OH-ABA caused Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage, and endogenous reductant NADH dramatically enhanced this process. Catalase and a Cu(I)-specific chelator decreased DNA damage, suggesting the involvement of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Cu(I). N-OH-ABA induced DNA damage at cytosine and guanine residues of ACG sequence complementary to codon 273, a well-known hot spot of the p53 gene. N-OH-ABA dose dependently induced 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation in the presence of Cu(II) and NADH. Treatment with N-OH-ABA increased amounts of 8-oxodG in HL-60 cells compared to the H2O2-resistant clone HP100, supporting the involvement of H2O2. The present study has demonstrated that the N-hydroxy metabolite of 3-NBA induces oxidative DNA damage through H2O2 in both a cell-free system and cultured human cells. We conclude that oxidative DNA damage may play an important role in the carcinogenic process of 3-NBA in addition to previously reported DNA adduct formation. 相似文献

Wildlife inhabiting environments contaminated by radionuclides face putative detrimental effects of exposure to ionizing radiation, with biomarkers such as an increase in DNA damage and/or oxidative stress commonly associated with radiation exposure. To examine the effects of exposure to radiation on gene expression in wildlife, we conducted a de novo RNA sequencing study of liver and spleen tissues from a rodent, the bank vole Myodes glareolus. Bank voles were collected from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), where animals were exposed to elevated levels of radionuclides, and from uncontaminated areas near Kyiv, Ukraine. Counter to expectations, we did not observe a strong DNA damage response in animals exposed to radionuclides, although some signs of oxidative stress were identified. Rather, exposure to environmental radionuclides was associated with upregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism and fatty acid oxidation in the livers – an apparent shift in energy metabolism. Moreover, using stable isotope analysis, we identified that fur from bank voles inhabiting the CEZ had enriched isotope values of nitrogen: such an increase is consistent with increased fatty acid metabolism, but also could arise from a difference in diet or habitat between the CEZ and elsewhere. In livers and spleens, voles inhabiting the CEZ were characterized by immunosuppression, such as impaired antigen processing, and activation of leucocytes involved in inflammatory responses. In conclusion, exposure to low dose environmental radiation impacts pathways associated with immunity and lipid metabolism, potentially as a stress‐induced coping mechanism. 相似文献

Maternal intake of flavonoids, known for their antioxidant properties, may affect the offspring's susceptibility to developing chronic diseases at adult age, especially those related to oxidative stress, via developmental programming. Therefore, we supplemented female mice with the flavonoids genistein and quercetin during gestation, to study their effect on the antioxidant capacity of lung and liver of adult offspring. Maternal intake of quercetin increased the expression of Nrf2 and Sod2 in fetal liver at gestational day 14.5. At adult age, in utero exposure to both flavonoids resulted in the increased expression of several enzymatic antioxidant genes, which was more pronounced in the liver than in the adult lung. Moreover, prenatal genistein exposure induced the nonenzymatic antioxidant capacity in the adult lung, partly by increasing glutathione levels. Prenatal exposure to both flavonoids resulted in significantly lower levels of oxidative stress-induced DNA damage in liver only. Our observations lead to the hypothesis that a preemptive trigger of the antioxidant defense system in utero had a persistent effect on antioxidant capacity and as a result decreased oxidative stress-induced DNA damage in the liver. 相似文献

2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) was injected into chicken eggs prior to incubation to study possible mechanisms of toxicity and teratogenicity. One of the suggested mechanisms of teratogenicity is oxidative stress. Eggs were injected simultaneously with TCDD and cotreatment compounds in an attempt to prevent oxidative stress or to block cytochrome P450 activity. Indicators of oxidative stress were assessed in livers and brains of hatchling chicks. In ovo, exposure to TCDD caused significant effects on indicators of oxidative stress in liver, but not in the brain of the hatchling chicks. TCDD did not significantly affect superoxide production. In liver, TCDD treatment caused a decrease in glutathione content and glutathione peroxidase activity and an increase in the ratio of oxidized to reduced glutathione. TCDD increased the susceptibility to lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage in liver. Administration of the antioxidants vitamin E and vitamin A provided partial protection against TCDD-induced oxidative stress in liver. The lack of effect of TCDD in chicken brain could be due to the low cytochrome P4501A activity in this tissue and little accumulation of TCDD in brain compared to liver. Phenytoin, a known inducer of oxidative stress, caused a decrease in glutathione content and an increase in susceptibility to lipid peroxidation in both liver and brain and increased oxidative DNA damage in brain. Responsiveness varied among individual animals, but measures of the oxidative stress were correlated. 相似文献

1-Nitropyrene (1-NP), a weak carcinogen associated with diesel exhaust particles, has previously been detected in workplace atmospheres with in-use diesel engines and in the general environment. In order to gain insight in its biological fate, a single dose of [14C]-1-NP (27.6 microCi, 750 mg/kg body weight, b.w.) was administered intragastrically to rats and the presence of metabolites in blood and tissue homogenates, and radioactivity associated with blood proteins and tissue DNA, were studied. Early peak levels of radioactivity observed in blood and tissue homogenates indicated a rapid absorption of [14C]-1-NP from the gastrointestinal tract. Metabolite patterns observed in plasma, liver and kidney homogenates strongly suggested an important role of the intestinal microflora in the enterohepatic recirculation, but not in nitroreduction of 1-NP prior to absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. This might explain the low levels of radioactivity associated with blood proteins, since 1-nitrosopyrene, a product of nitroreduction of 1-NP, is likely to be involved in protein binding. Levels of radioactivity associated with plasma proteins were approximately four times higher than the levels of radioactivity associated with hemoglobin (401.0 and 84.1 pmol/g protein per micromol 1-NP kg b.w., respectively, at 24 h). Maximal 25% of the associated radioactivity was released following mild alkaline hydrolysis of either hemoglobin or plasma proteins. 1-Aminopyrene was the only released compound after hydrolysis of hemoglobin. In addition to 1-aminopyrene, two more polar unidentified metabolites were detected following hydrolysis of plasma proteins. Association of radioactivity with DNA was highest in the liver at the first moments of observation (7.4 pmol 14C Eq./mg DNA per micromol 1-NP kg b.w.), but decreased rapidly to levels lower than observed for kidney DNA (max. 3.0 pmol 14C Eq./mg DNA per micromol 1-NP kg b.w. at 24 h). In lungs 8-50 times less radioactivity was associated with DNA than observed in the liver and kidneys. The results of this study show, that 1-NP undergoes an extensive and complex biotransformation in vivo, resulting in a variety of metabolites present in blood and tissue homogenates and a diversity of blood protein adducts. Concentrations of plasma metabolites, blood protein adducts and DNA adducts were rather low. In addition, previous studies also showed relatively low concentrations of metabolites present in urine. Therefore, sensitive and selective methods will be needed in order to evaluate the biological fate of 1-NP, associated with diesel exhaust particles, in humans. 相似文献
