Abstract
Inducibility of oxidative stress in rat liver in vivo by menadione-associated redox cycling activation under redox enzyme modulating conditions was examined by monitoring hepatocyte injury and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels of liver DNA. In addition, the treatment-associated liver tumor initiating activity was assessed in terms of development of gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase (GGT)- and glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive foci and hyperplastic nodules. With or without following menadione treatment (50 mg/kg, i.g.), redox enzyme modulations of increased cytochrome P450 reductase activity induced by phenobarbital (PB)-Na (100 mg/kg, i.p. for 5 days), inhibition of DT-diaphorase by dicumarol (25 mg/kg, i.p.) and depletion of glutathione by phorone (200 mg/kg, i.p.), with or without further supplement of iron EDTA-Na-Fe(III) (70 mg/kg, i.p.), caused both substantial hepatocyte necrosis and 8-OHdG production in Fischer 344 male rats. Subsequent feeding with a 0.05% PB diet for 64 weeks resulted in slightly increased development of GGT-positive foci but not GST-P positive lesions or hyperplastic nodules, suggesting a lack of tumor-initiating activity of the oxidative DNA damage associated with redox enzyme modulations with or without menadione.
