Nickel Distribution and DMA Lesions Induced in Rat Tissues by the Carcinogen Nickel Carbonate1
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA lesions in nuclei isolated from rat tissues following i.p. injection of the carcinogen nickel carbonate were measured by the alkaline elution technique. Kidney, liver, lung, and thymus gland nuclei were examined at 3 and 20 hr after treatment for the presence of DNA single-strand breaks and cross-links. Single-strand breaks were detectable in lung and kidney nuclei, and both DNA-protein and DNA interstrand cross-links were detectable in kidney nuclei. No DNA damage was observed in liver or thymus gland nuclei. A dose response to both singlestrand breaks and cross-links was observed in kidney nuclei. Time course studies revealed that maximum DNA damage in kidney nuclei occurred at 2 to 4 hr following injection and also revealed the presence of an active repair process in these nuclei. Repair-resistant DNA-protein cross-links were observed to persist through 48 hr. Tissue and intracellular nickel con centrations as measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy were observed to correlate with the levels of DNA damage and repair. A dose response to the concentration of nickel in tissues and nuclei was observed. These results are discussed relative to the solubilization, toxicity, and carcinogenicity of nickel compounds.

متن کاملHighly improved methanol oxidation onto carbon paste electrode modified by nickel particles dispersed into poly (2,5-dimethylaniline) film
In this work, modification of carbon paste electrode surface with poly (2, 5-Dimethyl aniline) (P-2,5-DMA) by using electrochemical polymerization was described. Then, transition metal ions of Ni(II) were incorporated into the polymer film by two ways. At first way, the polymeric modified electrode was immersed in 0.2 M NiSO4 solutions and the second way was carried out by electrodeposition of ...
متن کاملStudies of the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis induced in rats by intrarenal injection of a carcinogen, nickel subsulfide.
Widespread arteriosclerotic lesions were detected by histological examinations of rats killed at seven or nine weeks after an intrarenal (ir) injection of nickel subsulfide (Ni3S2, 5 mg per rat). Arteriosclerotic plaques were readily visualized by administering hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) iv to rats at 24 hours before sacrifice. At necropsy, the major arteries were inspected under ultravio...
متن کاملA survey on the accumulation of heavy metals as indicator of oil pollution index (Vanadium and Nickel) in bivalve rock oyster (Saccostrea cucullata) in Qeshm Island coasts
In this study, the amount of nickel and vanadium elements in the soft tissues of rock oysters (Saccostrea cuculata) and sea water from coastal areas of Qeshm Island, the biggest island of Persian Gulf located in the south of Iran, were measured to evaluate the contamination of the aquatic environment and organisms. Following the bioassay, weighing and chemical digestion of the samples, finally...
متن کاملNickel (II) enhances benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide-induced mutagenesis through inhibition of nucleotide excision repair in human cells: a possible mechanism for nickel (II)-induced carcinogenesis.
Nickel (II), a ubiquitous environmental and industrial contaminant, is a well-known human carcinogen, particularly in human lung cancer. Although by itself it is a weak mutagen, nickel (II) is able to significantly enhance the genotoxicity of other mutagens and carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and ultraviolet light. Certain human populations, especially cigarette smo...
