8-hydroxy-2--deoxyguanosine and Thyroid-Neoplasms

Phenols have been shown to influence the cellular proliferation and function of thyroid in experimental models. However, few human studies have investigated the association between phenol exposure and thyroid cancer, and the underlying mechanisms are also poorly understood. We conducted a case-control study by age- and sex-matching 143 thyroid cancer and 224 controls to investigate the associations between phenol exposures and the risk of thyroid cancer, and further to explore the mediating role of oxidative stress. We found that elevated urinary triclosan (TCS), bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS) levels were associated with increased risk of thyroid cancer (all P for trends < 0.05), and the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) comparing the extreme exposure groups were 3.52 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.08, 5.95), 2.06 (95% CI: 1.06, 3.97) and 7.15 (95% CI: 3.12, 16.40), respectively. Positive associations were also observed between urinary TCS, BPA and BPS and three oxidative stress biomarkers measured by 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 8-iso-prostaglandin F

The aim of this study was to determine levels of serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as an indicator of oxidant-induced DNA damage and oxidant status in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma before and after surgery. This study included 25 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and age-matched 27 healthy controls. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH), and 8-OHdG levels were measured. 8-OHdG levels were significantly higher in the preoperative papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) group compared with the healthy control group (p < 0.001) and were significantly lower after operation in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (p = 0.004). Oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were significantly higher in both preoperative and postoperative PTC patients compared with the healthy control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). TOS levels were higher in the preoperative and postoperative PTC groups compared to the healthy control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). TAS levels was lower in the preoperative PTC groups compared to the healthy control group (p = 0.011). Serum LOOH levels were higher in both preoperative and postoperative PTC groups compared to the healthy control group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Correlation analysis yielded that serum 8-OHdG levels were positively correlated with OSİ and LOOH levels in patients with PTC before surgery (r = 0.668, p < 0.001; r = 0.446, p = 0.025, respectively) and had a negative correlation with TAS levels (r = -0.616, p = 0.001). We have shown severe oxidative DNA damage and impaired antioxidant status in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

This study assessed the presence of oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation in thyroid neoplasia.. Using tissue microarrays and immunohistochemistry, we assessed levels of DNA damage (8-oxo-dG) and lipid peroxidation (4-HNE) in 71 follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA), 45 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and 17 follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and matched normal thyroid tissue.. Cytoplasmic 8-oxo-dG and 4-HNE expression was significantly higher in FTA, FTC, and PTC tissue compared to matched normal tissue (all p values < .001). Similarly, elevated nuclear levels of 8-oxo-dG were seen in all in FTA, FTC, and PTC tissue compared to matched normal (p values < .07, < .001, < .001, respectively). In contrast, a higher level of 4-HNE expression was detected in normal thyroid tissue compared with matched tumor tissue (p < .001 for all groups). Comparing all 3 groups, 4-HNE levels were higher than 8-oxo-dG levels (p < .001 for all groups) except that cytoplasmic levels of 8-oxo-dG were higher than 4-HNE in all (p < .001). These results were independent of proliferation status.. High levels of DNA damage and lipid peroxidation in benign and malignant thyroid neoplasia indicates this damage is an early event that may influence disease progression.

Amitrole (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) is a widely used herbicide. Amitrole induces thyroid and liver tumors in rodents. However, the mechanism of carcinogenesis by amitrole remains to be clarified. To clarify the mechanism of carcinogenesis induced by amitrole, we investigated the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a characteristic of oxidatively generated DNA damage, by an amitrole metabolite, 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (AMT), in the presence of Cu(II). The amount of 8-oxodG was increased by AMT in the presence of Cu(II). AMT-induced 8-oxodG formation was enhanced in deuterium oxide (D₂O), which prolongs the half life of singlet oxygen (¹O₂), more than that in H₂O. Sodium azide and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]-octane (DABCO), potent and relatively specific scavengers of ¹O₂, inhibited AMT-mediated 8-oxodG formation. Bathocuproine, a Cu(I) chelator, also inhibited the 8-oxodG formation. On the other hand, typical OH scavengers did not inhibit the generation of 8-oxodG. AMT plus Cu(II) also induced piperidine-labile DNA lesions frequently at every guanine residue. These results suggest that ¹O₂ and Cu(I) play an important role in DNA damage induced by AMT. It is concluded that oxidatively generated DNA damage induced by AMT via the generation of ¹O₂ may contribute to carcinogenicity of amitrole.

To clarify the in vivo genotoxic potential of kojic acid (KA), formation of DNA adducts and 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in the thyroids of male rats subjected to dietary administration of 2% KA for 2 weeks were assessed by 32P-postlabeling analysis and with a high-performance liquid chromatography system coupled to an electrochemical detector (ECD), respectively. In addition, to investigate possible tumor initiation activity, male F344 rats were given diet containing 0, 0.02, 0.2 or 2% kojic acid for 8 weeks followed by administration of 0.1% sulfadimethoxine (SDM), a thyroid tumor promoter, in the drinking water for 23 weeks with a subsequent 13-week recovery period (two-stage thyroid tumorigenesis model). Rats given four times by s.c. injection of N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine (DHPN; 700 mg/kg bw) during the initiation period followed by administration of 0.1% SDM and rats given diet containing 2% KA for the initial 8 weeks or for the entire 31 weeks of the experiment, or basal diet alone were provided as controls. DNA adducts were not formed, and the 8-OHdG level was not increased in the thyroids of rats given 2% KA for 2 weeks. In the two-stage thyroid tumorigenesis model, neither adenomas nor carcinomas were induced in the groups given 0, 0.02, 0.2 or 2% KA followed by 0.1% SDM administration, and incidences and multiplicities of focal follicular cell hyperplasias did not demonstrate any significant intergroup differences at the end of administration and recovery periods. In contrast, incidences and multiplicities of focal follicular cell hyperplasias, adenomas and carcinomas were all significantly increased in the DHPN + 0.1% SDM group. Although the incidences and multiplicities of focal follicular cell hyperplasias in the group given 2% KA for 31 weeks were greater than those in the 2% KA + 0.1% SDM group and an adenoma was observed in a rat at the end of the recovery period, no development of carcinomas was evident at either time point. No thyroid proliferative lesions were induced in the group given 2% KA for the initial 8 weeks only. The results of the present studies indicate that KA has neither in vivo genotoxic potential nor tumor initiation activity in the thyroid, and strongly suggest that the earlier observed thyroid tumorigenic activity of KA is attributable to a non-genotoxic mechanism.
