AIM: Nitrative and oxidative DNA damage such as 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation has been implicated in initiation and/or promotion of inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis. The aim of this study is to clarify whether these DNA lesions participate in the progression of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS: We investigated the relation of the formation of 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxodG and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) with tumor invasion in 37 patients with intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxodG formation occurred to a much greater extent in cancerous tissues than in non-cancerous tissues. HIF-1a could be detected in cancerous tissues in all patients, suggesting low oxygen tension in the tumors. HIF-1a expression was correlated with inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression (r = 0.369 and P = 0.025) and 8-oxodG formation (r = 0.398 and P = 0.015). Double immunofluorescence study revealed that iNOS and HIF-1a co-localized in cancerous tissues. Notably, the formation of 8-oxodG was correlated significantly with lymphatic invasion (r = 0.386 and P = 0.018). Moreover, 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxodG in non-cancerous tissues were associated significantly with neural invasion (P = 0.042 and P = 0.026, respectively). These results suggest that reciprocal activation between HIF-1a and iNOS mediates persistent DNA damage, which induces tumor invasiveness via mutations, resulting in poor prognosis. CONCLUSION: The formation of 8-nitroguanine and 8-oxodG plays an important role in multiple steps of genetic changes leading to tumor progression, including invasiveness.
