Inflammation has been postulated as a risk factor for several cancers. 3-Nitrotyrosine is a biochemical marker for inflammation. We investigated the ability of nitrotyrosine and nitrotyrosine-containing peptides (nitroY-peptide) to induce DNA damage by the experiments using P-32-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the human p53 tumor suppressor gene and an HPLC-electrochemical detector. Nitrotyrosine and nitroY-peptide caused Cu(II)-dependent DNA damage in the presence of P450 reductase, which is considered to yield nitroreduction. Catalase inhibited DNA damage, suggesting the involvement of H2O2. Nitrotyrosine and nitroY-peptide increased 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation, an indicator of oxidative DNA damage. Nitrotyrosine-containing peptides of histone induced 8-oxodG formation more efficiently than free nitrotyrosine. We propose the possibility that nitrotyrosine-induced H2O2 formation and DNA damage contribute to inflammation-associated carcinogenesis. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
