DNA damage was evaluated using the comet assay. The results of pre- and post-treatment showed a significant decrease in DNA damage produced by H2O2 in the obese group. This decrease was not significant in control group probably due to a small number of subjects in this pilot study. More prominent attenuation was noted in the pre-treatment with DHQ (250 μg/ml). Analysis of antioxidant properties revealed that DHQ's remarkable reducing power, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity, and potent∙OH scavenging properties may contribute to strong attenuation of H2O2-induced DNA damage. Also, B showed strong reducing power, DPPH, and ∙OH scavenging ability, while reducing power and DPPH scavenger effects were increased in the presence of DHQ. Conclusively, DHQ and B may reduce H2O2-induced DNA damage in PBMCs from obese subjects when challenged in vitro, and could be valuable tools in future research against oxidative damage-related conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":18889,"journal":{"name":"Mutagenesis","volume":" ","pages":"318-326"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141633980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has resulted in negative outcomes in an OECD aligned Ames Test alone (standard or enhanced) no longer being considered sufficient by regulatory authorities to assess potential carcinogenic risk of NAs if present as impurities in drug products. Consequently, extensive follow-up in vivo testing can be required to characterise the potential mutagenicity and genotoxic carcinogenicity of NA impurities (i.e., beyond that defined in the ICH M7 guideline for non-NA impurities). We previously demonstrated that the mutagenicity of alkyl-nitrosamines can be detected by the appropriately designed, OECD aligned Ames Test and identified those conditions that contributed most to assay sensitivity. This OECD aligned Ames Test design was used to assess seven NAs, i.e. (methyl(neopentyl)nitrosamine, N-methyl-N-nitroso-2-propanamine, N-nitrosodiisopropylamine, bis(2-methoxyethyl)nitrosoamine, N-nitroso-N-methyl-4-fluoroaniline, dinitrosoethambutol, (R,R)- and mononitrosocaffeidine) that were reported to be negative in historical Ames Tests but positive in rodent carcinogenicity studies. All seven of the NAs were demonstrated to be mutagenic in the OECD aligned Ames test and therefore these compounds should no longer be considered as discordant (false negatives) with respect to the correlation of the Ames Test and rodent carcinogenicity. These results confirm the sensitivity of the OECD aligned Ames Test for the detection of NA mutagenicity and provides further support of its pivotal placement within the ICH M7 framework for the assessment of mutagenic impurities in pharmaceuticals to limit potential carcinogenic risk.

Because microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression on multiple levels, their role in chemoresistance development is reasonably certain. In our previous study, miR-122-5p and miR-142-5p were identified as diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers for primary and metastatic rectal cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether these miRNAs can also reflect the disease course of colon cancer (CC) patients. Further, we focused on a deeper understanding of their involvement in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemoresistance development. The expression analysis of both miRNAs was analysed in repeated whole plasma samplings (n=3, approximately every 6 months) of CC patients (n=49) by RT-qPCR. Expression levels of both miRNAs were determined in the 5-FU sensitive and resistant CC cell lines. From RNA-seq profiles of both sensitive and 5-FU resistant DLD-1 cell lines, the expression levels of miR-122-5p and miR-142-5p validated target genes were detected and compared. Significant differences in the expression levels of both miRNAs between T0 and T1 or T2 samplings were observed. Further, an association between the occurrence of relapse and miR-122-5p expression levels was noticed. Patients who did not relapse had higher expression of miR-122-5p at T1 (p=0.01; 3.16-fold change) and T2 (p=0.04; 2.79-fold change) samplings in comparison with T0 sampling. Out of all miR-122-5p validated targets (n=102), 25 genes were significantly differentially expressed between sensitive and 5-FU-resistant cell lines. Our data suggest that miR-122-5p may represent a predictive marker of tumour relapse in CC patients. In vitro data suggests that this aspect may be linked to the potential therapeutic targets of miR-122-5p related to 5-FU-based chemoresistance.
