title: Dietary hydrogen peroxide enhances hepatocarcinogenesis in trout: correlation with 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine levels in liver DNA.
abstract: The tumor-enhancing effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-initiated rainbow trout hepatocarcinogenesis was investigated and correlated with the levels of the mutagenic DNA adduct 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (oh8dG). In addition, the protective role of vitamin E was examined in relation to tumor enhancement and oh8dG levels in liver DNA. Trout were fed diets containing two levels of vitamin E (1000 or 20 mg/kg wet wt), each of which were made up to contain three levels of H2O2 (0, 600 or 3000 p.p.m.). Dietary vitamin E levels had no significant effect on tumor incidence or levels of oh8dG in liver DNA. On the other hand, dietary H2O2 enhanced liver tumors in a dose-dependent manner. Liver tumor incidence correlated significantly with the mean level of liver DNA oh8dG content (r = 0.87). We conclude that the H2O2 tumor-enhancing effect coincides with higher levels of oh8dG in the trout liver genome. Thus, rainbow trout may be a useful model for the study of the relationship of oh8dG levels in vivo to enhancement or promotion of carcinogenesis and its modulation by dietary enhancers and inhibitors of oxidative stress.
