Abstract:
:Supplementation by beta-carotene has unexpectedly appeared to increase lung cancer risk among smokers. In order to explain this it has been suggested that at high serum levels of beta-carotene, prooxidant characteristics of beta-carotene may become manifest, yielding reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inducing oxidative DNA damage. It has further been hypothesized that cigarette smoke carcinogens such as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and/or B[a]P metabolites, may directly react with beta-carotene. Furthermore, beta-carotene oxidation products may have a role in the bioactivation of B[a]P analogous to the peroxide shunt pathway of cytochrome P450 supported by cumene hydroperoxide. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of beta-carotene on the formation of B[a]P-DNA adducts and oxidative DNA damage in vitro in isolated DNA, applying as metabolizing systems rat liver and lung metabolizing fractions and lung metabolizing fractions from smoking and non-smoking humans. We established that beta-carotene in the presence of various metabolizing systems was unable to induce oxidative DNA damage (8-oxo-dG), although beta-carotene is capable of generating ROS spontaneously in the absence of metabolizing fractions. We also could not find an effect of beta-carotene on DNA adduct formation induced by B[a]P upon metabolic activation. We could, however, provide evidence of the occurrence of a carbon-centered beta-carotene radical which was found to be able to interact with B[a]P and to intercalate in DNA.
