Dna damage in human mononuclear cells induced by bacterial endotoxin

Abstract: Damage to nuclear DNA in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was studied after in vitro treatment with bacterial endotoxin by alkaline comet assay. It was found that LPS induced DNA damage as soon as over the first 30 min of incubation, while by the 4th hour of incubation DNA damage was found in more than 95% cells. Exogenous superoxide dismutase completely protected DNA, which suggests that superoxide radical is the primary extracellular damaging agent. Polyphenol antioxidant (water-soluble lignin) and s… Show more

“…LPS has been shown to induce DNA damage in several cell types [32]. To determine whether LPS-induced production of TNF-a correlated directly with DNA damage, we performed single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assays) on DNA from M1 and M2 macrophages of Fancc 2/2 and wild-type mice to quantify the DNA strand breaks.…”

“…Another intrinsic age-related state observed in numerous organisms pertains to the buildup of toxins within cells and organs [2324]. The source of such toxins is highly variable and constitutes a significant factor in the etiology of some age-associated diseases.…”

“…While it is recognized that pathogens trigger an immunoinflammatory reaction into the infected sites, much less is known about the long-term effects of bacteria and/or their products on DNA damage. Mounting evidence indicates that persistent exposure to LPS, an outer membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria, causes a genotoxic effect in macrophages [ 90 ], and blood mononuclear cells [ 91 ]. Consistent with this LPS genotoxic effect, a similar response is observed in gingival fibroblasts after the exposure to this Gram-negative membrane component for 48 h in vitro [ 12 ].…”
