Research articleGenotoxic and cytotoxic effects of the environmental pollutant 3-NITROBENZANTHRONE (cas 17117-34-9) on bladder cancer cells

3-NITROBENZANTHRONE (cas 17117-34-9) (3-NBA), a potential human carcinogen, is present in diesel exhaust. The main metabolite of 3-NBA, 3-aminobenzanthrone, was detected in urine of miners occupationally exposed to diesel emissions. Environmental and occupational factors play an important role in development of bladder cancer (BC), one of the most frequent malignancies. It is expected that exposure of urothelium to 3-NBA and its metabolites may induce BC initiation and/or progression. To test this hypothesis, we studied geno- and cytotoxicity of 3-NBA using an in vitro BC model. 3-NBA induced higher levels of DNA adducts, reactive oxygen species and DNA breaks in aggressive T24 cells than in more differentiated RT4 cells. To understand the nature of this difference we examined the role of several enzymes that were identified as 3-NBA bio activators. However, the difference in DNA adduct formation cannot be directly linked to the different activity of any of the examined enzymes. Conversely, the difference of tested cell lines in p53 status can partly explain the distinct levels of 3-NBA-DNA adducts and DNA damage induced by 3-NBA. Therefore, we assume that more aggressive T24 cells are more predisposed for DNA adduct formation, DNA damage and, possibly, mutations and as a result further tumorigenesis.
