Ability of hypochlorous acid and N -chloramines to chlorinate DNA and its constituents

Myeloperoxidase is a heme enzyme released by activated phagocytes that is responsible for the generation of the strong oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Although HOCl has potent bactericidal properties and plays an important role in the human immune system, this oxidant also causes damage to tissues, particularly under inflammatory conditions. There is a strong link between chronic inflammation and the incidence of many cancers, which may be associated with the ability of HOCl and related oxidants such as N-chloramines to damage DNA. However, in contrast to HOCl, little is known about the reactivity of N-chloramines with DNA and its constituents. In this study, we examine the ability of HOCl and various N-chloramines to form chlorinated base products on nucleosides, nucleotides, DNA, and in cellular systems. Experiments were performed with N-chloramines formed on Nα-acetyl-histidine (His-C), Nα-acetyl-lysine (Lys-C), glycine (Gly-C), taurine (Tau-C), and ammonia (Mono-C). Treatment of DNA and related materials with HOCl and His-C resulted in the formation of 5-chloro-2'-deoxycytidine (5CldC), 8-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (8CldA) and 8-chloro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8CldG). With the nucleosides, 8CldG was the favored product in each case, and HOCl was the most efficient chlorinating agent. 5Cl(d)C was the most abundant product on exposure of the nucleotides and DNA to HOCl and His-C, with only low levels of chlorinated products observed with Lys-C, Gly-C, Tau-C, and Mono-C. 5CldC was also formed on exposure of smooth muscle cells to either HOCl or His-C. Cellular RNA was also a target for HOCl and His-C, with evidence for the formation of 5-chloro-cytidine (5ClC). This study shows that HOCl and the model N-chloramine, His-C, are able to chlorinate cellular genetic material, which may play a role in the development of various inflammatory cancers.

Effects of 8-chlorodeoxyadenosine on DNA synthesis by the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I

8-Chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine (8-Cl-dAdo) was incorporated into synthetic DNA oligonucleotides to determine its effects on DNA synthesis by the 3′-5′ exonuclease-free Klenow fragment of Escherichia coli DNA Polymerase I (KF-). Single nucleotide insertion experiments were used to determine the coding potential of 8-Cl-dAdo in a DNA template. KF- inserted TTP opposite 8-Cl-dAdo in the template, but with decreased efficiency relative to natural deoxyadenosine. Running-start primer extensions with KF- resulted in polymerase pausing at 8-Cl-dAdo template sites during DNA synthesis. The 2′-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate analogue, 8-Cl-dATP, was incorporated opposite thymidine (T) approximately two-fold less efficiently than dATP.
