Association of mitochondrial DNA Transversion mutations with familial medullary thyroid carcinoma/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndrome
Oncogene, 2006Co-Authors: K K Abu-amero, A S Alzahrani, M Zou, Y ShiAbstract:Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a malignant tumour of the calcitonin-secreting parafollicular C cells of the thyroid, and occurs sporadically or as a component of the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2/familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC) syndromes. In the present study, we investigated the frequency of mtDNA mutations in 26 MTC tumour specimens (13 sporadic and 13 familial MTC) and their matched normal tissues by sequencing the entire coding regions of mitochondrial genome. Nonsynonymous mutations were detected in 20 MTC samples (76.9%): nine out of 13 sporadic MTC (69.2%) and 11 out of 13 (84.6%) familial MTC/MEN2. Both transition and Transversion types of mutations were found in the samples. Interestingly, 76.2% (16/21) of Transversion mutations were found in FMTC/MEN2 patients, whereas 66.7% (12/18) of transition mutations were in sporadic MTC. Synonymous mutations were found in 12 MTC samples. In total, we identified 27 Transversion mutations (21 nonsynonymous and six synonymous) in MTC. Of them, 22 (81.5%) were from FMTC/MEN2, and five (18.5%) were from sporadic MTC. The association of Transversion mutation with familial MTC/MEN2 was statistically significant ( P =0.0015, binomial test). Majority of the mutations were involved in the genes located in the complex I of the mitochondrial genome, and were often resulting in a change of a moderately or highly conserved amino acid of their corresponding protein. Mitochondrial respiratory function was also compromised in a TT cell line, which carries mtDNA mutation at nt 4917 and 11 720, and in peripheral lymphocytes of MTC patients with mtDNA mutations. These data suggest that mtDNA mutation may be involved in MTC tumourigenesis and progression. Given that mtDNA mutation spectra are different between sporadic and familial MTC, different mechanisms of oxidative DNA damage may occur in the disease process.

oxidative stress driven mutagenesis in the small intestine of the gpt delta mouse induced by oral administration of potassium bromate
Mutation Research-genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2020Co-Authors: Yasunobu Aoki, Yosuke Taniguchi, Michiyo Matsumoto, Michi Matsumoto, Mizuki Ohno, Kenichi Masumura, Shigeki Sasaki, Teruhisa Tsuzuki, Masayuki Yamamoto, Takehiko NohmiAbstract:Abstract Tumorigenesis induced by oxidative stress is thought to be initiated by mutagenesis, but via an indirect mechanism. The dose-response curves for agents that act by this route usually show a threshold, for unknown reasons. To gain insight into these phenomena, we have analyzed the dose response for mutagenesis induced by the oral administration of potassium bromate, a typical oxidative-stress-generating agent, to gpt delta mice. The agent was given orally for 90 d to either Nrf2+ or Nrf2-knockout (KO) mice and mutants induced in the small intestine were analyzed. In Nrf2+mice, the mutant frequency was significantly greater than in the vehicle controls at a dose of 0.6 g/L but not at 0.2 g/L, indicating that a practical threshold for mutagenesis lies between these doses. At 0.6 g/L, the frequencies of G-to-T Transversions (landmark mutations for oxidative stress) and G-to-A transitions were significantly elevated. In Nrf2-KO mice, too, the total mutant frequency was increased only at 0.6 g/L. G-to-T Transversions are likely to have driven tumorigenesis in the small intestine. A site-specific G-to-T Transversion at guanine (nucleotide 406) in a 5′-TGAA-3′ sequence in gpt, and our primer extension reaction showed that formation of the oxidative DNA base modification 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) at nucleotide 406 was significantly increased at doses of 0.6 and 2 g/L in the gpt delta mice. In the Apc oncogene, guanine residues in the same or similar sequences (TGAA or AGAA) are highly substituted by thymine (G-to-T Transversions) in potassium bromate-induced tumors. We propose that formation of 8-oxo-dG in the T(A)GAA sequence is an initiating event in tumor formation in the small intestine in response to oxidative stress.

Change over time of the mutagenicity in the lungs of gpt delta transgenic mice by extract of airborne particles collected from ambient air in the Tokyo metropolitan area
Genes and Environment, 2018Co-Authors: Yasunobu Aoki, Michiyo Matsumoto, Michi Matsumoto, Kenichi Masumura, Daisuke Nakajima, Mayuko Yagishita, Rie Yanagisawa, Sumio Goto, Takehiko NohmiAbstract:Background Previously we found that DNA adducts were accumulated in the lungs of the rats exposed to ambient air in the Tokyo metropolitan area. To examine chronological change in in vivo mutagenicity of airborne particles, extracts produced from samples of total suspended particulates (TSP) collected from urban air in 1980, 1990, and 2010 in the Tokyo metropolitan area were intratracheally administered into the lungs of gpt delta mice, and differences in mutation and mutant frequency were determined by using the gpt assay. In vivo mutations induced by the extracts were characterized and mutation hotspots were identified by DNA sequencing of the mutated gpt gene. Results Administration of the 1990 extract at a dose of 0.3 mg/animal significantly elevated total mutant frequency to 3.3-times that in vehicle control, and the in vivo mutagenicity of the extract (induced mutation frequency per milligram extract) was estimated to be 2.0- and 2.4-times higher than that of the 2010 and 1980 extract, respectively. G-to-A transition was the most common base substitution in the vehicle control mice. However, administration of the 1990 extract increased the frequency of G-to-T Transversion, which is a landmark base substitution induced by oxidative stress; furthermore, when the extract was administered at a dose of 0.15 mg, the mutant and mutation frequencies of G-to-T Transversion were significantly increased to frequencies comparable with those of G-to-A transition. Similar increases in the mutant and mutation frequencies of G-to-T Transversion were observed after administration of the 2010 extract. Hotspots (mutation foci identified in three or more mice) of G-to-A transition mutations at nucleotides 64 and 110 were induced by the 1980, 1990, and 2010 extracts; a hotspot of G-to-T Transversions at nucleotide 406 was also induced by the 2010 extract. Previously, we showed that diesel exhaust particles or their extract, as well as 1,6-dinitropyrene, administered to mice induced these hotspots of G-to-A transitions. Conclusions The results of the present study suggested that mutagenesis induced by extracts produced from TSP collected in the Tokyo metropolitan area induced in vivo mutagenicity via the same mechanism underlying the induction of in vivo mutagenicity by components of diesel exhaust.

genotoxicity of nano microparticles in in vitro micronuclei in vivo comet and mutation assay systems
Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2009Co-Authors: Yukari Totsuka, Shuich Masuda, Takashi Higuchi, Akiyoshi Nishikawa, Tatsuya Kato, Naohide Kinae, Toshio Imai, Takehiko Nohmi, Kyoko Hiyoshi, Masanobu KawanishiAbstract:Recently, manufactured nano/microparticles such as fullerenes (C60), carbon black (CB) and ceramic fiber are being widely used because of their desirable properties in industrial, medical and cosmetic fields. However, there are few data on these particles in mammalian mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. To examine genotoxic effects by C60, CB and kaolin, an in vitro micronuclei (MN) test was conducted with human lung cancer cell line, A549 cells. In addition, DNA damage and mutations were analyzed by in vivo assay systems using male C57BL/6J or gpt delta transgenic mice which were intratracheally instilled with single or multiple doses of 0.2 mg per animal of particles. In in vitro genotoxic analysis, increased MN frequencies were observed in A549 cells treated with C60, CB and kaolin in a dose-dependent manner. These three nano/microparticles also induced DNA damage in the lungs of C57BL/6J mice measured by comet assay. Moreover, single or multiple instillations of C60 and kaolin, increased either or both of gpt and Spi- mutant frequencies in the lungs of gpt delta transgenic mice. Mutation spectra analysis showed Transversions were predominant, and more than 60% of the base substitutions occurred at G:C base pairs in the gpt genes. The G:C to C:G Transversion was commonly increased by these particle instillations. Manufactured nano/microparticles, CB, C60 and kaolin, were shown to be genotoxic in in vitro and in vivo assay systems.

in vivo mutagenesis induced by benzo a pyrene instilled into the lung of gpt delta transgenic mice
Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 2005Co-Authors: Akiko H Hashimoto, Takehiko Nohmi, Kyoko Hiyoshi, Kenichi Masumura, Kimiko Amanuma, Hirohisa Takano, Yasunobu AokiAbstract:Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a ubiquitous airborne pollutant whose mutagenicity has been evaluated previously by oral and intraperitoneal administration to experimental animals. In this study, mutagenesis in the lungs, the target organ of air pollutants, was examined after a single intratracheal instillation of 0–2 mg B[a]P into gpt delta transgenic mice. Intratracheal injection of B[a]P resulted in a statistically significant and dose-dependent increase in gpt mutant frequency as measured by 6-thioguanine selection. The mutant frequencies at B[a]P doses of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg were 2.8, 4.2, and 6.8 times higher than the frequency seen in nontreated mice (0.60 ± 0.13 × 10−5). The most frequent mutations induced by B[a]P treatment were G:CT:A Transversions, which are characteristic of B[a]P mutagenesis in other models, and single-base deletions of G:C base pairs. To characterize the hotspots of B[a]P-induced mutations in the gpt gene, we analyzed sequences adjacent to the mutated G:C base pairs. Guanine bases centered in the nucleotide sequences CGT, CGA, and CGG were the most frequent targets of B[a]P. Our results indicate that intratracheal instillation of B[a]P into gpt delta mice causes a dose-dependent increase in gpt mutant frequency in the lung, and that the predominant mutation induced is G:CT:A Transversion.

The activity of yeast Apn2 AP endonuclease at uracil-derived AP sites is dependent on the major carbon source
Current Genetics, 2021Co-Authors: Kasey Stokdyk, Alexandra Berroyer, Zacharia A. Grami, Nayun KimAbstract:Yeast Apn2 is an AP endonuclease and DNA 3′-diesterase that belongs to the Exo III family with homology to the E. coli exonuclease III, Schizosaccharomyces pombe eth1, and human AP endonucleases APEX1 and APEX2. In the absence of Apn1, the major AP endonuclease in yeast, Apn2 can cleave the DNA backbone at an AP lesion initiating the base excision repair pathway. To study the role and relative contribution of Apn2, we took advantage of a reporter system that was previously used to delineate how uracil-derived AP sites are repaired. At this reporter, disruption of the Apn1-initiated base excision repair pathway led to a significant elevation of A:T to C:G Transversions. Here we show that such highly elevated A:T to C:G Transversion mutations associated with uracil residues in DNA are abolished when apn1∆ yeast cells are grown in glucose as the primary carbon source. We also show that the disruption of Apn2, either by the complete gene deletion or by the mutation of a catalytic residue, results in a similarly reduced rate of the uracil-associated mutations. Overall, our results indicate that Apn2 activity is regulated by the glucose repression pathway in yeast.
