Generation of putative intrastrand cross-links and strand breaks was investigated in salmon sperm DNA exposed to Fenton-type oxygen radical-generating systems. 32P-Postlabeling analysis of DNA treated with hydrogen peroxide and either copper(II), chromium(VI), cobalt(II), iron(II), nickel(II), or vanadium(III) resulted in the detection of between four and eight radioactive TLC spots that are probably hydroxyl radical-mediated oxidative DNA lesions. The copper Fenton system generated the highest total yield of these DNA lesions (75.6 per 10(8) nucleotides), followed by cobalt (47.5), nickel (26.2), chromium (25.1), iron (21.7), and vanadium (17.1). Two spots, common to all these Fenton systems, were the major oxidation products in each case. Similar Fenton-type treatment of the purine dinucleotides dApdG and dApdA resulted in products that were chromatographically identical on anion-exchange TLC and on reverse-phase HPLC to the two major products generated in DNA. These results extend our earlier studies suggesting that these products were the result of a free radical-mediated intrastrand cross-linking reaction. Incubations involving cadmium(II), chromium(III), or zinc(II) ions with hydrogen peroxide did not generate DNA oxidation products at levels greater than in incubations with hydrogen peroxide alone. Generation of the putative intrastrand cross-links increased in a concentration-dependent manner up to 1 mM cobalt, nickel, or chromium(VI) ions. However, in experiments with copper, iron, or vanadium ions, maximum levels were obtained at 250, 150, and 150 microM, respectively, and the yield declined with higher concentrations of these three metal ions. Agarose gel electrophoresis demonstrated extensive DNA strand breakage with copper, iron, chromium(III), or vanadium, but not with nickel, chromate(VI), cobalt, cadmium, or zinc Fenton systems. The results demonstrate that generation of the putative intrastrand cross-links and strand breaks in DNA, mediated by Fenton reactions, occurs by independent mechanisms.
