8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine level - the DNA oxidative stress marker - recognized by fluorescence image analysis in sporadic uterine adenocarcinomas in women.
In the case of carcinogenesis in human endometrium no information exists on tissue concentration of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, the DNA oxidative stress marker This was the main reason to undertake the investigation of this DNA modification in human uterine estrogen-dependent tissue cancers.. In order to estimate the level of oxidative damage, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine was determined directly in cells of tissue microscope slides using OxyDNA Assay Kit, Fluorometric. Cells were investigated under confocal microscope. Images of individual cells were captured by computer-interfaced digital photography and analyzed for fluorescence intensities (continuous inverted 8-bit gray-scale = 0 [black]-255 [white]). Fluorescence scores were calculated for each of 13 normal endometrial samples and 31 uterine adenocarcinoma specimens. Finally the level of the oxidative stress marker was also analyzed according to histological and clinical features of the neoplasms.. The obtained data revealed that: 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine levels were higher in uterine adenocarcinomas than in normal endometrial samples (48,32 vs. 38,64; p<0,001); in contrast to normal endometrium there was no correlation between age and DNA oxidative modification content in uterine cancer; highest mean fluorescence intensity was recognized in G2 endometrial adenocarcinomas; level of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine does not depend on Body Mass Index (BMI) and cancer uterine wall infiltration or tumor FIGO stage.. Our study indicates that accumulation of the oxidized DNA base may contribute to the development of endometrial neoplasia, however oxidative DNA damage does not seem to increase with tumor progression.

The level of oxidative stress and the expression of genes involved in DNA-damage signaling pathways in depressive patients with colorectal carcinoma.
This study investigated the connection among the oxidative stress, depression and expression of specific genes involved in DNA-damage signaling pathways in patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC).. A unique Dukes'C subset of patients with newly diagnosed colorectal adenocarcinoma were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and other multiple-item questionnaires. Oxidative-stress-related parameters in sera and the expression of genes were monitored during a pretreatment period.. Eighty-two eligibility cases were divided into 2 groups based on an HAMD score cutoff of 20: the mean score was 28.29 in Group A (depression, n=52) and 16.50 in Group B (nondepression, n=30). The serum total antioxidant capacity, catalase, and superoxide dismutase concentrations were lower in Group A, whereas those of nitric oxide and malondialdehyde were higher in Group A. Importantly, the 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine level was higher in Group A than in Group B (P<.05). Microarray analysis revealed that the expressions of p34, PA26, and ABL were higher in Group A, whereas those of HRAD51, CR6, and XRCC3 were higher in Group B.. Oxidative stress is capable of causing neuronal toxicity via lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, and abnormalities of gene expression, and therefore is a possible pathogenic mechanism underlying depression in patients with CRC.
