We have investigated the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bleomycin (BLM)-induced gene mutations in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells using a superoxide dismutase (SOD) inhibitor, triethylenetetramine (TRIEN), and a SOD mimic, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEM-POL), to lower and increase intracellular 'SOD activity', respectively. Pretreatment of CHO cells with TRIEN (1 mM) for 1 h enhanced the mutagenic response of BLM (5-50 micrograms/ml, 1 h treatment) in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) locus in CHO cell clone K1-BH4 (CHO/HPRT assay) and the xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (gpt) gene in a CHO-K1 cell derivative AS52 (AS52/GPT assay). Pretreatment with TEMPOL (1 mM) for 1 h decreased the BLM (20-100 micrograms/ml, 1 h treatment) mutagenicity in the AS52/GPT assay. The mutagenic response of BLM appears to be modulated by the intracellular level of 'SOD activity' and hence the intracellular level of ROS. These data provide further evidence for the involvement of ROS in bleomycin mutagenesis in mammalian cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007041 Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate and hypoxanthine, guanine, or MERCAPTOPURINE to the corresponding 5'-mononucleotides and pyrophosphate. The enzyme is important in purine biosynthesis as well as central nervous system functions. Complete lack of enzyme activity is associated with the LESCH-NYHAN SYNDROME, while partial deficiency results in overproduction of uric acid. EC 2.4.2.8.
