Formation of trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal- and other enal-derived cyclic DNA adducts from omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and their roles in DNA repair and human p53 gene mutation
Abstract
The cyclic 1,N(2)-propanodeoxyguanosine adducts, derived from alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes or enals, including acrolein (Acr), crotonaldehyde (Cro), and trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), have been detected as endogenous DNA lesions in rodent and human tissues. Collective evidence has indicated that the oxidative metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is an important pathway for endogenous formation of these adducts. In a recent study, we examined the specific role of different types of fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs, in the formation of cyclic adducts of Acr, Cro, and HNE. Our studies showed that the incubation of deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate with omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids under oxidative conditions in the presence of ferrous sulfate yielded different amounts of Acr, Cro, and HNE adducts, depending on the types of fatty acids. We observed that Acr- and Cro-dG adducts are primarily formed from omega-3, and the adducts derived from longer chain enals, such as HNE, were detected exclusively from omega-6 fatty acids. Acr adducts are also formed from omega-6 fatty acids, but to a lesser extent; the yields of Acr adducts are proportional to the number of double bonds present in the PUFAs. Two previously unknown cyclic adducts, one from pentenal and the other from heptenal, were detected as products from omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, respectively. Because omega-6 PUFAs are known to be involved in the promotion of tumorigenesis, we investigated the…
