Abstract：
:We have investigated the activation of p-cresol to form DNA adducts using horseradish peroxidase, rat liver microsomes and MnO(2). In vitro activation of p-cresol with horseradish peroxidase produced six DNA adducts with a relative adduct level of 8.03+/-0.43 x 10(-7). The formation of DNA adducts by oxidation of p-cresol with horseradish peroxidase was inhibited 65 and 95% by the addition of either 250 or 500 microM ascorbic acid to the incubation. Activation of p-cresol with phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes with NADPH as the cofactor; resulted in the formation of a single DNA adduct with a relative adduct level of 0.28+/-0.08 x 10(-7). Similar incubations of p-cresol with microsomes and cumene hydroperoxide yielded three DNA adducts with a relative adduct level of 0.35+/-0.03 x 10(-7). p-Cresol was oxidized with MnO(2) to a quinone methide. Reaction of p-cresol (QM) with DNA produced five major adducts and a relative adduct level of 20.38+/-1.16 x 10(-7). DNA adducts 1,2 and 3 formed by activation of p-cresol with either horseradish peroxidase or microsomes, are the same as that produced by p-cresol (QM). This observation suggests that p-cresol is activated to a quinone methide intermediate by these activation systems. Incubation of deoxyguanosine-3'-phosphate with p-cresol (QM) resulted in a adduct pattern similar to that observed with DNA; suggesting that guanine is the principal site for modification. Taken together these results demonstrate that oxidation of p-cresol to the quinone methide intermediate results in the formation of DNA adducts. We propose that the DNA adducts formed by p-cresol may be used as molecular biomarkers of occupational exposure to toluene.
