Hepatocyte cultures were isolated from young, middel-aged, and old male Fischer (F344) rats which were maintained on either an ad libitum (AL) or a CR diet (60% of AL). Hepatocyte cultures from old AL rats, treated with 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF), aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁), 7,12-dimethylbenz[<em>a</em>]anthracene (DMBA) and dimethylnitrosamine (DMN), exhibited age-related decreases in DNA repair as compared to young AL rats. By contrast, cultures from young CR rats exhibited significant diet-related decreases in DNA repair with 2-AAF, AFB₁, DMBA and DMN, when compared to results from young AL diet-fed rats. Old CR F344 rat derived cultures exhibited no significant age-related dose-dependent decrease in the DNA repair response with any of the chemicals tested. However, in cultures from old CR rats 10.0 μM AFB₁ produced an age-related decrease in DNA repair from the response observed in young CR rats. When hepatocytes were isolated from Aroclor 1254-induced rats, increases in DNA repair were observed. These data indicate an age- and diet-related decrease in DNA repair and/or DNA damage and suggest that this decrease is due to a decrease in metabolic activation of these carcinogens to genotoxic species.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100937,"journal":{"name":"Mutation Research/DNAging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0921-8734(93)90008-Q","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18680827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both reactive oxygen species fulfill essential prerequisites to be a genotoxic agent. Due to their continuous production the represent and ever-present threat to all vital cellular molecules, especially DNA. As might be anticipated from the difference in character between these reactive species (non-radical versus radical) the pattern of DNA modifications caused by singlet oxygen is different from that produced by OH radicals. All cells possess an elaborate defense system against oxidative damage. This paper focuses mainly on the effect of thiols such as glutathione, which are thought to play a role as antioxidants. Under certain conditions thiols can repair chemically, probably by H-donation, some of the DNA damage caused by ^.OH; for instance breaks can be rather easily prevented in this way. This process will complete with fixation of damage by oxygen. However, there is ample evidence that H-atom donation does not always lead to ‘correct’ repair. Moreover under aerobic conditions thiyl peroxy radicals might increase DNA damage. Although the repair/fixation process could be examined in the case of ¹O₂ yet, it could be demonstrated that reactive species can be formed out of the reaction of thios with ¹O₂ capable of enhancing the number of DNA modifications such as 8-oxoguanine and single-strand breaks, probably arising from different pathways. Although it si quite clear that thiols are to some extent excellent antioxidants they possess unexpected properties which, depending on the conditions, can have genotoxic consequences.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100937,"journal":{"name":"Mutation Research/DNAging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0921-8734(93)90006-O","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18680298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since profiles of these adduct-like derivatives are species-, strain-, sex-, and tissue-specific, we explored this apparent CR/I-compound relationship in a comparative study between male B-N and male Fischer 344 (F-344) rats, the latter having a shorter life expectancy and high incidence of renal disease.

Regression analyses indicated linear relationships between most CR relative adduct labeling values (both total and individual fractions) and age, whereas many AL values exhibited this type of link with log age.
