Production of Thymine Glycols in DMA by N-Hydroxy-2-naphthylamine As Detected by a Monoclonal Antibody1
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have quantitated the production of thymine glycols in DNA following treatment of cultured human fibroblasts or DNA in solution with the carcinogen A/-hydroxy-2-naphthylamine. Thy mine glycols, detected by using a monoclonal antibody specific to this base damage, were produced in DNA in a dose dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo. Exposure of DNA to W-hydroxy2-naphthylamine in the presence of catalase and Superoxide dismutase, which break down hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anions, respectively, inhibited the production of this base damage. Thymine glycols were efficiently removed from DNA in both normal human fibroblasts and in cells from a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A, which are deficient in nucleotide excision repair.

متن کاملStructural consequences of modification of the oxygen atom of guanine in DNA by the carcinogen N-hydroxy-1-naphthylamine.
Since the ultimate carcinogen W-hydroxy-1-naphthylamine (N-HO-1-NA) reacts selectively with DMA at the O6 atom of the guanine base, an investigation of the consequences of this potentially mispairing lesion upon DMA structure was under taken. Fluorescence spectroscopic studies, which detected only the major N-HO-1-NA-O6-guanine adduct, showed that the fluorescence decay rate for the naphthyl re...
متن کاملProduction of oxidative DNA damage during the metabolic activation of benzo[a]pyrene in human mammary epithelial cells correlates with cell killing.
We have studied the generation of reactive oxygen species during the metabolism of a carcinogen, benzo[a]pyrene, by human mammary epithelial cells. We have quantitated the production of one type of oxidative DNA damage, thymine glycols, by using a monoclonal antibody specific to this base modification. Thymine glycols were produced in DNA in a dose-dependent manner after exposure of human mamma...

Af-Hydroxy-2-naphthylamine produced bladder tumors in three of four dogs when administered over a period of 30 months (dogs were sacrificed 15 months later) in dimethyl sulfoxide solution by repeated instillation directly into the bladders. ./V-Hydroxy-1-naphthylamine was more carcinogenic than TV-hydroxy^-naphthylamine by administration to rats, but the reverse was observed in four experiments...

Single-stranded DMA of coliphage M13mp8 was treated with the oxidizing agent, KMn04, under conditions that selectively form c/'s-5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxythymine (thymine glycol). Treatment of DMA with 0.7 and 1.4 HIM KMnO< introduced approximately 200 and 400 thymine glycol residues, respectively, per genome. When these DMAs were used to transform Escherichia coli, it was observed that phage s...
