Oxidative and nitrative DNA damage in animals and patients with inflammatory diseases in relation to inflammation-related carcinogenesis.
    Biological chemistry, 2006, Volume: 387, Issue:4

    Infection and chronic inflammation are proposed to contribute to carcinogenesis through inflammation-related mechanisms. Infection with hepatitis C virus, Helicobacter pylori and the liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini (OV), are important risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gastric cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, respectively. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and oral diseases, such as oral lichen planus (OLP) and leukoplakia, are associated with colon carcinogenesis and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), respectively. We performed a double immunofluorescence labeling study and found that nitrative and oxidative DNA lesion products, 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), were formed and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was expressed in epithelial cells and inflammatory cells at the site of carcinogenesis in humans and animal models. Antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic drugs dramatically diminished the formation of these DNA lesion markers and iNOS expression. These results suggest that oxidative and nitrative DNA damage occurs at the sites of carcinogenesis, regardless of etiology. Therefore, it is considered that excessive amounts of reactive nitrogen species produced via iNOS during chronic inflammation may play a key role in carcinogenesis by causing DNA damage. On the basis of our results, we propose that 8-nitroguanine is a promising biomarker to evaluate the potential risk of inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis.

Identification of patients with developing ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasia by nitrative DNA damage marker 8-nitroguanin expression in rectal mucosa.
    Journal of clinical gastroenterology, 2013, Volume: 47, Issue:9

    To clarify whether the expression of nitrative and oxidative DNA damage markers in the rectal mucosa of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) could be used to predict UC-associated neoplasia.. A longer duration of UC can increase the risk of developing UC-associated cancer (UCAC). Effective diagnostic markers are being sought to provide more selective screening and treatment strategies for patients with long-standing UC.. A total of 141 patients with UC who underwent a proctocolectomy were enrolled in this study. The expression of 8-nitroguanine (8-NG), 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the rectal mucosa were evaluated using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and assessed relative to the pathogenesis of UC-associated neoplasia.. Eighteen patients (12.8%) had UC-associated neoplasia including low-grade or high-grade dysplasia and UCAC. IHC scores of 8-NG in UC-associated neoplasia group was significantly higher than in non-neoplasia group (P<0.0001). In contrast, IHC score of 8-oxodG in non-neoplasia group was significantly decreased compared with UC-associated neoplasia group (P=0.0028). In logistic regression analysis, duration of disease >8 years, high IHC scores of 8-NG, and low 8-oxodG in the rectal mucosa were significantly associated with the development of UC-associated neoplasia (P<0.01). The expression of 8-NG was more frequently observed in patients with UCAC than in patients with sporadic colorectal cancer (P<0.01).. These results suggest that evaluating the expression levels of 8-NG in the rectal mucosa may be a useful biomarker for detecting patients with UC-associated neoplasia.
