Induction of Cell Death, DNA Strand Breaks, and Cell Cycle Arrest in DU145 Human Prostate Carcinoma Cell Line by Benzo[a]pyrene and Benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide

چکیده
Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, is a major environmental pollutant. In this study, the effects of this carcinogen/mutagen and one of its metabolites, benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE), on human prostate carcinoma cell line DU145, were examined. Cell viability, DNA damage, and cell cycle progression were evaluated as toxic end-points. We have shown that B[a]P and BPDE inhibited cell viability following 48 hr of exposure. Furthermore, comet assay analyses revealed that both B[a]P and BPDE induced DNA strand breaks in a concentration-dependent fashion. Flow cytometric analyses showed that about 70% of DU145 cells were arrested by B[a]P at the G1 phase, while about 76% were arrested at G1 phase by BPDE. These data reveal that B[a]P and BPDE are cytotoxic and genotoxic to DU145 prostate cancer cells.

A coordinated and faithful DNA damage response is of central importance for maintaining genomic integrity and survival. Here, we show that exposure of human cells to benzo(a)pyrene 9,10-diol-7,8-epoxide (BPDE), the active metabolite of benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P), which represents a most important carcinogen formed during food preparation at high temperature, smoking and by incomplete combustion pro...
متن کاملMetabolic activation of benzo(a)pyrene and binding to DNA in cultured human bronchus.
Human bronchus is one target site for the carcinogenic action of tobacco smoke, which contains chemical carcinogens, including benzo(a)pyrene. Human bronchi were obtained from surgery or "immediate" autopsy and then cultured in a chemically defined medium. The cultured bronchi were exposed to either benzo(a)pyrene or its metabolites, and their levels of binding to DNA were measured. One of the ...

Benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide adducts in DNA are implicated in mutagenesis, and their formation from the diol epoxides and subsequent incorrect replication by human DNA polymerases provide an attractive mechanism for the induction of cancer by this highly carcinogenic hydrocarbon and its diol epoxide metabolites. Here, we describe the crystal structure of such an adduct at the exocyclic ...

We have used flow cytometry to monitor the alterations in cell cycle distributions caused by chemical carcinogens. Two closely derived mouse liver cell strains growing in cub lure have been studied with regard to the effect of benzo(a) pyrene and derivatives of benzo(a)pyrene on DNA synthe sis. The derivatives tested were (±)-trans-7a,8$-dihydroxy 7,8-dihydrobenzo(a)pyrene; (±)-7a,8$-dihydrox...
متن کاملSpecies differences in the formation of benzo(a)pyrene-DNA adducts in rodent and human endometrium.
The formation of adducts of benzo(a)pyrene metabolites on DNA was investigated in endometrial tissue from humans, hamsters, mice, and rats. anti-Benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide was the predominant adduct identified in all the species studied. The amount of (+)-anti-benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide bound to DNA from human endometrium was approximately 3 times higher than to DNA from ham...
