title: DNA damage induced by hypochlorite and hypobromite with reference to inflammation-associated carcinogenesis.
abstract: Hypohalites (OCl-, OBr-) are formed at inflammation sites as antimicrobial agents. OCl- is also used for the disinfection of water supplies and the association of drinking chlorinated water with cancer risk is pointed out. In this study, OCl- itself induced 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation, while OBr- damaged DNA only when glutathione (GSH) was added. OCl- caused oxidative DNA damage more efficiently than OBr-/GSH. In experiment with 32P-labeled DNA fragments, OCl- strongly caused piperidine-labile sites at guanine residues than piperidine-inert 8-oxodG, whereas OBr-/GSH caused no piperidine-labile sites. Endogenous OCl- may play a role in genotoxicity close to the site of inflammation.
