2'-deoxyguanosine oxidation is associated with decrease in the DNA-binding activity of the transcription factor Sp1 in liver and kidney from diabetic and insulin-resistant rats.

Abstract

Over the years, several lines of evidence have emerged supporting the role of oxidative stress in the development of diabetic complications. This could involve the increase in the production of reactive oxygen species and the decrease in antioxidative defense systems. Modulation of the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species is likely to affect the intracellular redox homeostasis, which is crucial for numerous biological events such as the transcriptional activation of genes. In this work we studied the binding of the redox transcription factors Sp1 and NF-kappaB extracted from kidney and liver of streptozotocin diabetic (STZ) and fructose-fed rats using electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA) assay. In addition, the level in 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) was assessed within DNA by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC). A decrease in the affinity of Sp1 to DNA was observed in the kidney of STZ rats and fructose-fed rats (15% +/- 8.3 and 54% +/- 6.9, respectively, versus control group set to 100%). This was also found to occur to a lower extent, in the liver. Interestingly, higher levels of 8-oxodGuo, a biomarker of DNA oxidation, were measured in the kidney of diabetic rats. Therefore, the modification in the binding efficiency of Sp1 or NF-kappaB could be related to reactive oxygen species-mediated DNA damage.

Leukocyte 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and aromatic DNA adduct in coke-oven workers with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential for exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to induce oxidative DNA damage, we conducted a cross-sectional study in coke-oven workers employed at an iron-steel factory. METHODS: The study population contained 119 coke-oven workers from different work areas of the oven and 38 controls. Personal information on age, employment duration, smoking habit and alcohol consumption was obtained at an interview. Leukocyte 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Leukocyte aromatic DNA adducts as effective dose, and urinary 1-hydroxypyren as internal dose, were also measured, and used to analyze the relationship of 8-OHdG with other biomarkers for PAH exposure, tobacco smoke and alcohol consumption. RESULTS: The leukocyte 8-OHdG revealed a wide inter-individual variation. The highest 8-OHdG level was detected in bottom-workers of the coke-oven. There were significant differences among the four different work areas ( P=0.02). We could not find significant correlation between 8-OHdG levels and urinary 1-hydroxypyrene, but a weakly positive correlation was found between 8-OHdG and leukocyte aromatic DNA adducts among all subjects (r=0.19 P=0.03). We could not observe any effect of smoking and alcohol drinking on 8-OHdG production. CONCLUSION: We could not find clear evidence that PAH exposure induces oxidative DNA damage.

Effect of vitamin E and eccentric exercise on selected biomarkers of oxidative stress in young and elderly men.

Muscle damage resulting from eccentric exercise provides a useful model of oxyradical-induced injury and can be used to examine age-related responses to oxidative stress. Sixteen young (26.4 +/- 3.3 years) and 16 older (71.1 +/- 4.0 years) healthy men were randomly assigned to 1000 IU/d vitamin E or placebo for 12 weeks and ran downhill for 45 min at 75% VO(2)max, once before and following supplementation. Blood samples were obtained before (baseline) and immediately postexercise (0 h), and at 6, 24, and 72 h postexercise to determine antioxidant status, muscle damage, lipid peroxidation, and DNA damage. Following exercise, young and older men experienced similar increases in serum creatine kinase (CK), F(2alpha)-isoprostanes (iPF(2alpha); p <.001) and malondialdehyde (MDA; p <.01), although iPF(2alpha) peaked at 72 h postexercise and MDA peaked at 0 h. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) decreased at 72 h (p <.01) and correlated with the rise in iPF(2alpha), MDA, and CK in the young men (p <.05). Leukocyte 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was unaffected by exercise. Vitamin E decreased peak CK in young men, while in older men it decreased resting levels of iPF(2alpha) and suppressed the 24 h postexercise increases in iPF(2alpha) (p <.05). Thus, vitamin E supplementation induced modest changes eccentric exercise-induced oxidative stress, although differentially between the young and older subjects, while age had no direct influence on these responses among this group of physically fit subjects.

Oxidative damage to cellular and isolated DNA by homocysteine: implications for carcinogenesis.

Homocysteine is considered to be an important risk factor for cancer as well as cardiovascular diseases. To clarify whether homocysteine has potential carcinogenicity, we investigated formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), which is known to be correlated with the incidence of cancer, induced by homocysteine in human cultured cell lines. Homocysteine increased the amount of 8-oxodG in human leukemia cell line HL-60, whereas the amount of 8-oxodG in its hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-resistant clone HP100 was not increased. We investigated the mechanism for oxidative DNA damage by homocysteine using (32)P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from human tumor suppressor genes and a proto-oncogene. There were two mechanisms by which homocysteine caused DNA damage in the presence of Cu(II). A low concentration of homocysteine (20 microM) frequently induced piperidine-labile sites at thymine residues, whereas a high concentration of homocysteine (100 microM) resulted in damage principally to guanine residues. Catalase inhibited DNA damage by 20 microM homocysteine, indicating the participation of H(2)O(2), but was ineffective in preventing DNA damage by 100 microM homocysteine. Experiments using a singlet oxygen probe showed that 100 microM homocysteine enhanced chemiluminescence intensity in deuterium oxide more than that in H(2)O. These results indicated that the metal-dependent DNA damage through H(2)O(2) is likely to be a more relevant mechanism for homocysteine carcinogenicity.
