A significant increase of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) was observed in the kidney DNA of rats given a renal carcinogen, the ferric complex of nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA) by single i.p. injection. By contrast, non- or weakly carcinogenic compounds, aluminum-nitrilotriacetate complex (Al-NTA), non-complexed NTA (Na2NTA) and ferric chloride had no effect on 8-OH-dG production in the kidney DNA. These results suggest the involvement of active oxygen radicals in Fe-NTA carcinogenesis.

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
D005290 Ferric Compounds Inorganic or organic compounds containing trivalent iron. Compounds, Ferric
