Selective 8-hydroxyguanine formation in pancreatic DNA due to a single intravenous administration of 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline 1-oxide in rats.

8-Hydroxyguanine (8-OHG) formation, a possible initiating event, was determined in pancreatic and liver DNA and compared with the genesis of acinar cell and hepatocyte necrosis in male Wistar rats given a single intravenous administration of 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline 1-oxide (4-HAQO). At the non-necrotic but tumorigenic dose of 7.0 mg/kg body weight, 8-OHG was selectively generated in pancreatic DNA, in the absence of acinar cell necrosis, at the 6 and 24 h time points and repaired by the 48 h time point. When rats were exposed to 4-HAQO at a necrotic dose of 14.0 mg/kg body weight, 8-OHG was also selectively formed in pancreatic DNA with the same time-dependence of generation and repair, while acinar cell necrosis became evident at the 24 h time point and progressed thereafter. Whereas no hepatocyte necrosis was detected in any rats, 8-OHG values for liver DNA merely expressed slight increases only at the 24 and 48 h time points in rats given 14.0 mg/kg body weight of 4-HAQO. The present data suggest that formation of oxidative DNA damage, assayed by 8-OHG, in pancreatic DNA is independent from toxicity and may be involved, along with quinoline adducts, in mutational events underlying 4-HAQO-induced rat acinar cell carcinogenesis.[1]
