چکیده

Some carcinogenic metal compounds [chromate(VI), Fe(III) nitrilotriacetate, cobalt(II), and nickel(II)[ induced formation of various oxygen radical species in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. These oxygen radicals were suggested to give different kinds of site-specific DNA damage; 8-hydroxyl-2'-deoxyguanosine formation is included in the DNA damage. Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, nickel sulfide was shown to induce oxidative DNA cleavage in cultured cells. On the basis of these findings, we have emphasized the role of oxygen radicals in metal carcinogenesis.

Mechanisms of oxidative DNA damage induced by carcinogenic arylamines.

Most arylamines are pro-carcinogens, and require metabolic activation to yield ultimate carcinogen metabolites. O-Acetylation of the N-hydroxy form of an arylamine yields an acetoxyarylamine, which can form a highly reactive arylnitrenium ion, the ultimate metabolite responsible for DNA adduct formation. However, we demonstrate here that the N-hydroxy and nitroso forms of arylamines can also in...

Interactions by Carcinogenic Metal Compounds with DNA Repair Processes

Some metal compounds, including arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium and nickel have long been recognized as human and animal carcinogens, while for other as antimony, cobalt, lead and vanadium their carcinogenic action are probable or possible. Except chromium (VI), carcinogenic metals are only weak mutagens in mammalian cells and often inactive in bacterial assays. Since the mutagenicity in ...

Stress response in cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria are an important source of natural products. In this article, we briefly review the responses of cyanobacteria to different stresses. Abiotic stresses (temperature, salt, heavy metals, metalloid and ultraviolet (UV) influence cell growth and metabolism in cyanobacteria. Salt stress is a major abiotic factor that decrease...

Distinct mechanisms of oxidative DNA damage induced by carcinogenic nickel subsulfide and nickel oxides.

The U.S. National Toxicology Program has shown clear evidence of carcinogenicity of nickel subsulfide (Ni(3)S(2)) and some evidence of carcinogenicity of NiO (green) in rats. In the present study, DNA damage in cultured cells and in lungs of rats induced by nickel compounds was investigated to clarify the mechanism of nickel carcinogenesis. In cultured HeLa cells, Ni(3)S(2) induced a significan...

The effect of phytochemical compounds on indicators of oxidative stress, inflammation and skeletal muscle damage caused by physical activity

Physical activities are associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species. The production of reactive oxygen species is dependent of the intensity, duration and type of activity. Although the physiological amounts of reactive oxygen species are necessary to regulate cell reactions, their excessive production can cause numerous damages to the structure and function of cells and wea...
