2'-deoxyguanosine oxidation is associated with decrease in the DNA-binding activity of the transcription factor Sp1 in liver and kidney from diabetic and insulin-resistant rats.

Abstract

Over the years, several lines of evidence have emerged supporting the role of oxidative stress in the development of diabetic complications. This could involve the increase in the production of reactive oxygen species and the decrease in antioxidative defense systems. Modulation of the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species is likely to affect the intracellular redox homeostasis, which is crucial for numerous biological events such as the transcriptional activation of genes. In this work we studied the binding of the redox transcription factors Sp1 and NF-kappaB extracted from kidney and liver of streptozotocin diabetic (STZ) and fructose-fed rats using electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA) assay. In addition, the level in 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) was assessed within DNA by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC). A decrease in the affinity of Sp1 to DNA was observed in the kidney of STZ rats and fructose-fed rats (15% +/- 8.3 and 54% +/- 6.9, respectively, versus control group set to 100%). This was also found to occur to a lower extent, in the liver. Interestingly, higher levels of 8-oxodGuo, a biomarker of DNA oxidation, were measured in the kidney of diabetic rats. Therefore, the modification in the binding efficiency of Sp1 or NF-kappaB could be related to reactive oxygen species-mediated DNA damage.

Mechanism of metal-mediated DNA damage induced by metabolites of carcinogenic 2-nitropropane.

2-Nitropropane (2-NP), a widely used industrial solvent, is carcinogenic to rats. To clarify the mechanism of carcinogenesis by 2-NP, we investigated DNA damage by 2-NP metabolites, N-isopropylhydroxylamine (IPHA) and hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HAS), using 32P-5'-end-labelled DNA fragments obtained from genes that are relevant to human cancer. In the presence of Fe(III) EDTA, both IPHA and HAS caused DNA damage at every nucleotide position without marked site preference. The damage was inhibited by free hydroxyl radical (-*OH) scavengers, catalase and deferoxamine mesilate, an iron chelating agent. These results suggest that the DNA damage was caused by -*OH generated via H(2)O(2) by both IPHA and HAS. In contrast, in the presence of Cu(II), IPHA frequently caused DNA damage at thymine. The Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage caused by IPHA was inhibited by catalase, methional and bathocuproine, a Cu(I)-specific chelator, suggesting the involvement of H(2)O(2) and Cu(I). These results suggest that the DNA damage induced by IPHA in the presence of Cu(II) was caused by a reactive oxygen species like the Cu(I)-hydroperoxo complex. On the other hand, HAS most frequently induced DNA damage at 5'-TG-3', 5'-GG-3' and 5'-GGG-3' sequences. Catalase and methional only partly inhibited the Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage caused by HAS, suggesting that the reactive oxygen species and another reactive species participate in this process. Formation of 8-oxodG by IPHA or HAS increased in the presence of metal ions. This study suggests that metal-mediated DNA damage caused by 2-NP metabolites plays an important role in the mutagenicity and the carcinogenicity of 2-NP.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids promote 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine formation through lipid peroxidation under the glutamate-induced GSH depletion in rat glioma cells.

It has been reported that glutamate decreased the intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentration and thereby induced cell death in C6 rat glioma cells. Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic acid, gamma-linolenic acid, and linoleic acid enhanced lipid peroxidation promoting 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) formation under the glutamate-induced GSH-depletion. The enhancement of lipid peroxidation by polyunsaturated fatty acids was species-dependent. Some antioxidants capable of scavenging oxygen and lipid radicals and some iron or copper scavengers inhibited both the lipid peroxidation and the 8-OH-dG formation, consequently protecting against cell death induced by glutamate-induced GSH depletion. These results suggest that GSH depletion caused by glutamate induces lipid peroxidation and consequently 8-OH-dG formation and that polyunsaturated fatty acids enhance lipid peroxidation associated with mediated 8-OH-dG formation through a chain reaction.

In isolated DNA, formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase-sensitive sites determined by electrophoresis correspond to the amount of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine by HPLC-ECD.

Several methods have been developed for determining the amount of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in DNA. In the present study, we compared an electrophoretic method that uses formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (FPG protein) with a HPLC-ECD method. Firstly, we produced 8-oxodG in lambda DNA with methylene blue and visible light and cleaved it in one-half of the modified DNA enzymatically with FPG protein. Then, we determined the number of FPG protein-sensitive sites by electrophoresis (Y) and the number of 8-oxodGs by HPLC-ECD (X) per 10(5)dG of isolated DNA. Simple regression analysis of the data showed Y=1.07X+1.52 to be the most likely relationship. The correlation coefficient was 0.97. The values obtained by the two methods were very similar. This result is noteworthy because the number of FPG protein-sensitive sites determined by other methods have not yet come close to the number obtained by HPLC-ECD. Thus, this method might be more quantitative than other methods that measure FPG protein-sensitive sites. Another reason this electrophoresis method might be more useful than HPLC-ECD is that we can determine some other types of oxidative DNA damage well, by changing the DNA glycosylase.
