The renal carcinogen, ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA), is known to induce oxidative stress and the subsequent formation of a type of oxidative DNA damage, 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua), in the rat kidney (Umemura et al., 1990). Using an improved DNA isolation method (Nakae et al., 1995), which reduces the background level of 8-OH-Gua, we found a five-fold increase in the 8-OH-Gua level in kidney DNA after a single i.p. injection of Fe-NTA. On the basis of the report that 8-OH-Gua repair activity is enhanced after cells are exposed to oxidative stress due to ionizing radiation (Bases et al., 1992), the measurement of 8-OH-Gua repair activity will also be useful to assess cellular oxidative stress. The 8-OH-Gua repair enzyme activity was determined with an endonuclease assay using a 22 mer DNA that contains 8-OH-Gua at a specific position. A five-fold increase in the 8-OH-Gua repair activity as compared with the control, was observed in the target organ, the rat kidney, 120 h after Fe-NTA administration. In the non-target organ, the liver, the increase was not as large (two-fold). This simple assay of oxidative DNA damage repair will be useful for evaluating the carcinogenicity of oxygen radical forming chemicals, in addition to chemical analyses of oxidative DNA damage.

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
