Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage induced by bleomycin-Fe(II) in vitro: formation of 8-hydroxyguanine residues in DNA. 1989

K Kohda, and H Kasai, and T Ogawa, and T Suzuki, and Y Kawazoe

Treatment of calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with bleomycin-Fe(II) at 0 degree C for 5 min resulted in the formation of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) residues in DNA in a dose dependent manner, in addition to the formation of base propenal, a DNA-degradation product. The amount of 8-OH-Gua was about one-hundredth of that of base propenal. Treatment of cellular DNA with bleomycin did not result in any increase of 8-OH-Gua even under conditions of 100% cell killing.

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
