Metabolism of dimethylnitrosamine and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in cultured human bronchi.

چکیده
The metabolic activation of several chemical classes of procarcinogens is being studied in cultured human bronchi. Previous studies have shown that carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are metabolically activated by the bronchial epithelium. In the study reported here, dimethylnitrosamine and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine were also found to bind to both cellular DNA and protein. Bronchial DNA was methylated in both the O-6 and N-7 positions of guanine. In addition to polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, an aliphatic nitrosamine and a methylhydrazine can now be added to the list of xenobiotic chemical carcinogens metabolized by human bronchus.

The ability of three model carcinogens, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, di methylnitrosamine, and 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo|4,5-/]qiiinoxaline, to induce mutation in a novel in vivo assay in mouse intestine has been examined. The assay is based on mutations at the Dlb-1 locus which determines the tissue specific pattern of expression of the binding site for the lectin Doltchos bifloras agglutinin. In ...
متن کاملEffect of Dietary Protein Concentration on Yield of Mutagenic Metabolites from 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine in Mice1
The effects of varying dietary protein concentrations on the metabolism of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) to mutagenic prod ucts by male C57BL/6 x C3H F, mice were assayed by in vivo and in vitro methods. DMH and its metabolite, azoxymethane (AOM), did not increase the mutation frequency of Salmonella typhimurium (strain G-46) in vitro alone or in the presence of mouse liver homogenates capable of...
متن کاملIdentification of N5-methyl-N5-formyl-2,5,6-triamino-4-hydroxypyrimidine as a major adduct in rat liver DNA after treatment with the carcinogens, N,N-dimethylnitrosamine or 1,2-dimethylhydrazine.
A major and previously undetected carcinogen-DNA adduct was found in the livers of rats given N,N-dimethylnitrosamine or 1,2-dimethylhydrazine. This adduct, which accounted for 55% of the total methyl residues in DNA at 72 hours after carcinogen treatment, was chromatographically identical to a synthetic purine ring-opened derivative of 7-methylguanine and could be released from the isolated he...
متن کاملEffect of diallyl sulfide on rat liver microsomal nitrosamine metabolism and other monooxygenase activities.
It has been reported that p.o. administration of diallyl sulfide (DAS), a naturally occurring component of garlic (Allium sativum), inhibits 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced colon and liver cancer in rodents. A possible mechanism for this protective effect is inhibition of hepatic activation of the procarcinogen. The effect of DAS on P450IIE1, an isozyme of cytochrome P-450 which is active in the ...
متن کاملDetection of DNA damage induced in vivo following exposure of rats to carcinogens.
An alkaline elution assay previously used to detect single-strand breaks in DMA of cultured mammalian cells has been modified to allow the analysis of DMA damage in various organs of rats following exposure to chemical carcinogens. Prior to exposure, the DMA of neonatal animals was labeled with [3H]thymidine. DNA damage was assessed in liver, lung, thymus, brain, kidney, stomach, duodenum, colo...
