| Popis: | Catechol estrogens (CEs), such as 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE2), undergo redox cycling during which reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2*-) and the chemically reactive estrogen semiquinone (CE-SQ) and quinone (CE-Q) intermediates are produced. The quinone's putative mutagenicity may be enhanced by ROS and/or reactive nitrogen species. High concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) present during inflammatory conditions may react with (O2*-) to form peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a potent oxidant implicated in many pathological conditions. In this study, the possible generation of peroxynitrite from the interaction of CEs and NO and its effect on plasmid DNA and intact cells were investigated. A combination of 4-OHE2 and NO increased the level of single strand breaks (SSB) in plasmid DNA by more than 60% compared to vehicle controls in a metal-free buffer system. 4-OHE2 alone or NO alone had no effect. Results obtained from use of different antioxidants and ROS scavengers suggested a role of peroxynitrite in oxidative stress. In cells, 4-OHE2 or NO alone induced dose-dependent DNA damage as assessed by single cell gel electrophoresis. Co-treatment with 4-OHE2 and NO had an additive effect at lower doses. Generation of intracellular ROS was measured by the oxidation of carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate to the fluorescent compound carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein. NO alone, in oxygenated media, generated little ROS whereas 4-OHE2 produced approximately 70% increase in fluorescence. When added together 4-OHE2 and NO, produced a 2-fold increase in ROS. The generation and involvement ofperoxynitrite to this increase was implied since uric acid inhibited it. Generation ofperoxynitrite was also observed by use of dihydrorhodamine 123. Therefore, we conclude that combined treatments with 4-OHE2 and NO generated peroxynitrite seen from increased fluorescence and its inhibition by uric acid or combined SOD and catalase treatments. Results reported here suggest a role of peroxynitrite in causing damage to biomolecules when CEs and NO are present simultaneously. This may have biological relevance as high concentrations of NO formed during inflammatory conditions may exacerbate cancers due to estrogens. |
