Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage by NAD(P)H in the presence of metal ions has been characterized by using 32P 5‘ end-labeled DNA fragments obtained from human p53 tumor suppressor gene and c-Ha-ras-1 protooncogene. NADH, as well as other endogenous reductants, induced DNA damage in the presence of Cu(II). The order of inducing effect on Cu(II)-dependent DNA damage was ascorbate > reduced glutathione (GSH) > NADH > NADPH. Although NADH caused no or little DNA damage in the presence of Fe(III)-EDTA, the addition of H2O2 induced the DNA damage. The Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage induced by NADH was inhibited by catalase and bathocuproine, a Cu(I)-specific chelator; but not by scavengers of hydroxyl free radical (•OH), suggesting the involvement of active species derived from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Cu(I) rather than •OH. The predominant cleavage sites were thymine residues located 5‘ and/or 3‘ to guanine. The cleavage pattern was similar to that induced by Cu(II) plus GSH, Cu(II) plus ascorbate, or Cu(I) plus H2O2. Formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2‘-deoxyguanosine by NADH increased with its concentration in the presence of Cu(II). UV−visible spectroscopy indicated the facilitation of reduction of Cu(II) by NADH under some conditions. ESR spin-trapping experiments and mass spectrometry showed that the carbon-centered radical was formed during the reaction of NADH with Cu(II). These results suggest that optimal molar ratios of DNA/metal ion yield copper with a high redox potential which catalyzes NADH autoxidation to NAD• being further oxidized to NAD+ with generation of superoxide radical and that H2O2 reacts with Cu(I) to form active oxygen species such as copper(I)−peroxide complex causing DNA damage.Keywords
