The alkaline filter elution technique was used to evaluate single strand breaks (SSB), DNA-DNA (DDCL) and DNA-protein cross-links (DPCL) in liver and lung of male rats (Sprague-Dawley) and male mice (B6C3F1) after exposure to 2000 ppm 1,3-butadiene (BD) for 7 days (7 h/day and/or to 100, 250, 500, 1000) 2000 ppm BD for 7 h. SSB were detected in liver DNA of both species at 2000 ppm. Cross-links are more pronounced in mouse lung than in mouse liver. Elution rates of lung DNA from mice exposed for 7 h to different concentrations of BD revealed an increase in cross-links between 250 and 500 ppm, and a further increase in cross-links up to 2000 ppm. No such signs of genotoxicity could be observed for the lung of rats. Our data support the involvement of reactive metabolites (epoxybutene and especially diepoxybutane) in butadiene-induced carcinogenesis in the mouse but not to that extent in the rat.

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
