摘要
The underlying mechanisms of arsenic carcinogenicity are only poorly understood and especially the role of biomethylation is still a matter of debate. Besides the induction of oxidativeDNA damage the interference with DNA repair processes have been proposed to contribute to arsenic-induced carcinogenicity. Within the present study the effects of arsenite and its mono- and dimethylated trivalent and pentavalent metabolites on BPDE-induced DNA adduct formation and repair has been investigated and compared in cultured human lung cells. Whereas only arsenite and MMA(III) increased BPDE-DNA adduct formation, arsenite (greater than or equal to5 muM), the trivalent (greater than or equal to2.5 muM) and the pentavalent (greater than or equal to250 muM) metabolites diminished their repair at non-cytotoxic concentrations. As potential molecular targets, interactions with the zinc finger domain of the human XPA protein (XPAzf) and the Escherichia coli zinc finger protein Fpg, involved in NER and BER, respectively, have been investigated. All trivalent arsenicals were able to release zinc from XPAzf; furthermore, MMA(III) and DMA(III) inhibited the activity of isolated Fpg. Altogether the results suggest that besides arsenite, especially the trivalent methylated metabolites may contribute to diminished NER at low concentrations. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.
