OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of selenium on DNA damage induced by benzo[a] pyrene (BaP) in mouse lung cells. METHODS Sodium selenite was given to Kunming male mice by i.p. and BaP was given by oral gavage. The control group was given solvent only with the same method. DNA damage was detected by single cell gel electrophoresis (or comet assay). RESULTS The damage degrees in mice treated with 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg of BaP were more severe than that of control (P < 0.01). The rates of comet cells in the BaP-treated groups (43.50%, 84.00%, 95.63%) were significantly higher than that of control (9.75%, P < 0.01), and there was obvious dose-response relationship. 0.75, 1.50 and 3.00 mg/kg of sodium selenite presented antagonistic effects against DNA damage induced by 250 mg/kg of BaP in mouse's lung cells. The antagonistic effect of sodium selenite at the dose of 1.50 mg/kg was better than those of sodium selenite at the doses of 0.75, 3.00 mg/kg. CONCLUSIONS BaP at the doses of 125 approximately 500 mg/kg could significantly induce DNA damage of lung cells in mice. 0.75 approximately 3.00 mg/kg of sodium selenite could inhibit DNA damage of lung cells in mice induced by 250 mg/kg of BaP.

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
