pubmed:abstractText |
Using a procedure aimed at isolation of genes that are inactivated during nickel-induced carcinogenesis in Chinese hamster cells, a homolog of genes encoding human and mouse heme containing peroxidases has been cloned. Northern blot analysis of normal cultured fibroblasts and two nickel-transformed cell lines confirmed that this gene was expressed in normal but not in transformed cells. Nickel-transformed cells also tested negative for peroxidase activity using a sensitive fluorescence assay. Cultured embryo cells or fibroblasts that express peroxidase activity and their nickel-transformed peroxidase-deficient counterparts were employed to investigate the role of peroxidase-catalyzed processes in cytotoxicity induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide or cumene hydroperoxide. It has been found that peroxidase-deficient cells were significantly more resistant to cytotoxic effect of these compounds suggesting that cytotoxic effect of hydroperoxides may be mediated in part by free radicals generated in the course of peroxidase-catalyzed reactions.
