Abstract:
:Micromolar concentrations of fecapentaene-12, a mutagen found in human feces, decrease survival measured as colony-forming efficiency and membrane integrity of cultured human fibroblasts. Fecapentaene-12 also decreases the content of cellular free low-molecular-weight thiols including glutathione. Fecapentaene-12 reacts directly with glutathione by causing both decreased levels of free thiol and some concomitant formation of oxidized glutathione, indicating that thiol depletion is a result of both alkylation and oxidative reactions. Exposure of cells to 2 or 5 microM fecapentaene-12 causes significant amounts of DNA-interstrand cross-links and DNA-single strand breaks, respectively, whereas exposure to a higher concentration of fecapentaene-12, i.e., 10 microM, also causes significant DNA-protein cross-links. Results from the reaction of fecapentaene-12 with isolated plasmid DNA parallel the cellular pattern of DNA damage; primarily interstrand cross-links and strand breaks occur also in plasmid DNA. Taken together, these studies show that fecapentaene-12 is a potent cytotoxic and genotoxic agent which can react with cellular thiols and cause several types of DNA damage.
