3(')-Azido-3(')-deoxythymidine (AZT) is carcinogenic to experimental animals and can cause the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2(')-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in humans and animals. To clarify the mechanism of carcinogenesis by AZT, we investigated DNA damage induced by its photodegradation products, using 32P-5(')-end-labeled DNA fragments obtained from human genes. Following exposure to UVB, AZT induced DNA damage in the presence of Cu(II). Catalase inhibited DNA damage, indicating the involvement of H(2)O(2). UVB-exposed AZT plus Cu(II) induced 8-oxodG formation in a dose-dependent manner. Mass spectrum of UVB-exposed AZT demonstrated the generation of a hydroxylamine derivative. The colorimetric determination suggested that AZT was converted into the hydroxylamine derivative depending on UVB doses. UVB-exposed AZT induced double base damage at the 5(')-ACG-3(') sequence, complementary to a hot spot of the p53 gene. The basic compound, hydroxylamine, showed similar site specificity. The hydroxylamine derivative produced by photodegradation and/or possible metabolism of AZT induces oxidative DNA damage, which may participate in carcinogenesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010777 Photochemistry A branch of physical chemistry which studies chemical reactions, isomerization and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light. Photochemistries
D011905 Genes, ras Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (ras) originally isolated from Harvey (H-ras, Ha-ras, rasH) and Kirsten (K-ras, Ki-ras, rasK) murine sarcoma viruses. Ras genes are widely conserved among animal species and sequences corresponding to both H-ras and K-ras genes have been detected in human, avian, murine, and non-vertebrate genomes. The closely related N-ras gene has been detected in human neuroblastoma and sarcoma cell lines. All genes of the family have a similar exon-intron structure and each encodes a p21 protein.

D003849 Deoxyguanosine A nucleoside consisting of the base guanine and the sugar deoxyribose.
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
