Detection of DNA damage after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy

Mutagenesis
C DennogG Speit

Abstract

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is successfully used for the treatment of a variety of conditions. However, exposure to high concentrations of oxygen is known to induce damage to cells, possibly due to an increased oxygen radical production. As reactive oxygen species also cause DNA damage, we investigated the DNA-damaging effect of HBO with the alkaline version of the single cell gel test (comet assay). Oxidative DNA base modifications were determined by converting oxidized DNA bases to strand breaks using bacterial formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (FPG), a DNA repair enzyme, which specifically nicks DNA at sites of 8-oxo-guanines and formamidopyrimidines. HBO treatment under therapeutic conditions clearly and reproducibly induced DNA damage in leukocytes of all test subjects investigated. Increased DNA damage was found immediately at the end of the treatment, while 24 h later, no effect was found. Using FPG protein we detected significant oxidative base damage after HBO treatment. DNA damage was detected only after the first treatment and not after further treatments under the same conditions, indicating an increase in antioxidant defences. DNA damage did not occur when the HBO treatment was started with a reduced treatmen...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
