چکیده

Sodium selenite inhibits the binding of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) to DNA in tertiary cultures of fetal mouse cells in a rather selective fashion. Inhibition can be demonstrated at 6 but not at 3 h after DMBA addition to the cells. Inhibition is seen after treatment of the cells with DMBA concentrations of 0.05 or 0.1 micrograms/ml but not after treatment at 0.01 micrograms/ml. Furthermore the inhibition seen with up to 1 microgram selenium/ml is selective in that products from the anti bay region dihydrodiol epoxide metabolite (where the epoxide oxygen is trans to the 4-hydroxy group) are suppressed while those from the syn-dihydrodiol-epoxide (where the epoxide oxygen is cis to the 4-hydroxy group) are not affected. In the absence of selenite, it was found that syn-dihydrodiol epoxide-DNA adducts are formed in a roughly linear fashion with time over a range of DMBA concentration. In contrast, the capacity of the cells to generate anti-dihydrodiol-epoxide adducts in a 3-h interval is saturated at concentrations of DMBA above 0.025 micrograms/ml and after the initial 3-h period the cells generate these adducts at up to a 6-fold greater rate than during the initial 3 h. This increase in rate of formation of anti-dihydrodiol-epoxide products is inhibited by actinomycin D and appears to be a consequence of DMBA inducing an enzyme activity which selectively generates the anti-dihydrodiol-epoxide and not the syn-dihydrodiol-epoxide. The selective action of sodium selenite in inhibiting only anti-dihydrodiol-epoxide product formation and doing this only at certain times and at certain doses of DMBA is a result of the fact that it inhibits the induction process. Once induction has occurred, sodium selenite is no longer inhibitory of DMBA-DNA binding. The chemopreventive action of selenium in chemical carcinogenesis could be partially attributable to effects such as those described herein on carcinogen-DNA binding. It is also possible, however, that the chemopreventive actions of selenium might be attributable to effects on the expression of genes other than those involved in carcinogen metabolism.

Evidence that binding of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene to DNA in mouse embryo cell cultures results in extensive substitution of both adenine and guanine residues.

Primary mouse embryo cell cultures were grown in the presence of [14C]guanine, labeling primarily deoxyguanosine residues in the cellular DNA, or in the presence of [14C]adenine, labeling both deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine residues in the cellular DNA. These cultures were subsequently exposed to 7,12-[3H]dimethylbenz(a)anthracene for 24 hr. The DNA was isolated and hydrolyzed to deoxyribonu...

A common impurity of 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene was more effective than 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene in inducing morphological alterations, and in causing an increase in glucose uptake, DNA synthesis and cell number in chick-embryo fibroblasts. Gradual morphological transformation follows the increase in DNA synthesis after 2 days when either primary or secondary cultures are trea...

7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA):deoxyribonucleoside-adducts, from enzymatic hydrolysis of DNA from mouse skin exposed to [3H]DMBA in vivo, were analyzed by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. Double-labeling studies showed that the adducts were qualitatively identical to those formed in mouse embryo cell cultures. These have been tentatively identified as bay-region anti-di...

The relative effectiveness of either sodium selenite or selenomethionine in the inhibition of mammary carcinogenesis was studied in virgin female Sprague-Dawley rats. In one experiment, rats were given 50 mg of 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea per kg of body weight s.c. at 50 days of age. Beginning 7 days post-1 -methyl1-nitrosourea, they were assigned to a basal diet containing 0.1 ppm of selenium or ba...
