Oxidative damage in chemical teratogenesis

Mutation Research
Peter G WellsL M Winn

Abstract

The teratogenicity of many xenobiotics is thought to depend at least in part upon their bioactivation by embryonic cytochromes P450, prostaglandin H synthase (PHS) and lipoxygenases (LPOs) to electrophilic and/or free radical reactive intermediates that covalently bind to or oxidize cellular macromolecules such as DNA, protein and lipid, resulting in in utero death or teratogenesis. Using as models the tobacco carcinogens benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin, structurally related anticonvulsants (e.g. mephenytoin, nirvanol, trimethadione, dimethadione) and the sedative drug thalidomide, we have examined the potential teratologic relevance of free radical-initiated, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative molecular target damage, genotoxicity (micronucleus formation) and DNA repair in mouse and rabbit models in vivo and in embryo culture, and in vitro using purified enzymes or cultured rat skin fibroblasts. These teratogens were bioactivated by PHS and LPOs to free radical reactive intermediary metabolites, characterized by electron spin resonance spectrometry, that initiated ROS formation, including hydroxyl radicals, which were characterized...Continue Reading
