Basal levels of endogenously generated oxidative DNA modifications such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) are present in apparently all mammalian cells, but their relevance for the generation of spontaneous cancers remains to be established. Both the 8-oxoG levels and the resulting spontaneous mutations are increased in the livers of Csb(m/m)/Ogg1(-/-) mice, which are deficient in the repair of 8-oxoG. In order to determine the consequences of these additional oxidative DNA modifications and mutations and thus assess the tumor initiating potency of this type of endogenous DNA damage, we treated Csb(m/m)/Ogg1(-/-) mice and repair-proficient controls with the peroxisome proliferator WY-14,643 (0.025% ad libitum), a potent inducer of liver cell proliferation. The treatment did not generate any additional oxidative DNA damage; the elevated levels of 8-oxoG in the Csb(m/m)/Ogg1(-/-) mice even decreased. Also, the spontaneous mutation frequencies observed in the lacI gene of BigBlue Csb(m/m)/Ogg1(-/-) mice, which were approximately 3-fold higher than in the repair-proficient mice, declined by 39% under the treatment, whereas the frequencies in the livers of the repair-proficient animals remained unchanged. Preneoplastic lesions (staining positive or negative for glucose-6-phoshatase) developed in the livers of both wild-type and Csb(m/m)/Ogg1(-/-) mice after 30 weeks. Both the numbers and the total volumes of the lesions were approximately 6-fold higher in the repair-deficient mice than in the wild-type mice. The results indicate that spontaneous mutations generated from endogenous oxidative DNA base damage efficiently translate into increased tumorigenesis when cell proliferation is stimulated.
