Nonenzymatic Reduction of Nitro Derivative of a Heterocyclic Amine IQ by NADH and Cu(II) Leads to Oxidative DNA Damage

Abstract: Nitro derivative (nitro-IQ) of a carcinogenic heterocyclic amine 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) is known to be a potent mutagen as well as IQ, and nitro-IQ is believed to be activated enzymatically by nitroreductase. We investigated nonenzymatic reduction of nitro-IQ by an endogenous reductant NADH and the ability of inducing DNA damage by nitro-IQ. Nitro-IQ caused DNA damage including 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine in the presence of NADH and Cu(II). Catalase and bathocuproine, a Cu(I)-spec… Show more

“…In view of the molecular mechanisms, two types of direct DNA adducts, the major N ‐(deoxyguanosin‐8‐yl)‐IQ and the minor 5‐(deoxyguanosin‐ N 2 ‐yl)‐IQ, are thought to be responsible for IQ‐mutagenesis [19,36]. It has also been suggested that oxidative DNA damage with 8‐OHdG formation as a result of nonenzymatic reduction of nitro‐IQ may play a role in carcinogenesis [37]. Although, we could not determine which type of DNA lesion was responsible for the IQ‐induced hepatocarcinogenesis, recent work with a panel of biomarkers for detecting oxidative stress, DNA damage, and expression of DNA repair enzymes in IQ‐treated BigBlue rats pointed to specific DNA adducts rather than oxidative DNA damage as responsible for IQ initiation of hepatocarcinogenesis [38].…”

“…26,27 This nitro-IQ was reported to cause DNA damage, including the formation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine , in the presence of NADH and Cu 21 in vitro, indicating that oxidative DNA damage may be involved in the carcinogenicity of nitro-IQ. 28 As HCAs and nitrite are present in food, particularly in cooked red meats 29 and vegetables, 10 it is important to investigate combination effects of IQ and NaNO 2 to access human risk.…”

“…The concentration of NAD(P)H in certain tissue has been estimated to be as high as 100 -200 M (23). The biological importance of NADH and NADPH as nuclear reductants (24) has been demonstrated before (25,26). This non-enzymatic reduction of 1-NOP by NADH, causing oxidative DNA damage, is yet another example of its relevance.…”
