Tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for lung cancer causing, among other effects, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Malondialdehyde (MDA)-DNA adducts can be induced by direct DNA oxidation and by lipid peroxidation. We measured the relationship between bronchial MDA-DNA adducts and tobacco smoking, cancer status, and selected polymorphisms in 43 subjects undergoing a bronchoscopic examination for diagnostic purposes. MDA-DNA adducts were higher in current smokers than in never smokers (frequency ratio (FR) = 1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-2.26). MDA-DNA adducts were also increased in lung cancer cases with respect to controls, but only in smokers (FR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.16-2.51). Subjects with GA and AA cyclin D1 (CCND1) genotypes showed higher levels of MDA-DNA adducts than those with the wild-type genotype (FR = 1.51 (1.04-2.20) and 1.45 (1.02-2.07)). Lung cancer cases with levels of MDA-DNA adducts over the median showed a worse, but not statistically significant, survival, after adjusting for age, gender, and packyears (hazard ratio = 2.48, 95% CI 0.65-9.44). Our findings reinforce the role of smoking in lung carcinogenesis through oxidative stress. Subjects who carry at least one variant allele of the CCND1 gene could accumulate DNA damage for altered cell-cycle control and reduced DNA repair proficiency.

To further explore the pharmacological effect of pachymaran, this article studied the inhibition of pachymaran on oxidative stress and genetic damage induced by formaldehyde. 40 adult Kunming male mice were randomly divided into four groups with different interventions. One week later, the contents of serum SOD, GR, MDA, DNA-protein crosslink (DPC), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHDG) and DNA adduct were determined by ELISA.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, lethal disease of which the etiology is still not fully understood. Current treatment comprises two FDA-approved drugs that can slow down yet not stop or reverse the disease. As IPF pathology is associated with an altered redox balance, adding a redox modulating component to current therapy might exert beneficial effects.

Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes results in the formation of reactive aldehydes in the lung, which are capable of forming adducts with several proteins and DNA. Acetaldehyde and malondialdehyde are the major aldehydes generated in high levels in the lung of subjects with alcohol use disorder who smoke cigarettes. In addition to the above aldehydes, several other aldehydes like 4-hydroxynonenal, formaldehyde and acrolein are also detected in the lung due to exposure to toxic gases, vapors and chemicals.

Food plants provide important phytochemicals which help improve or maintain health through various biological activities, including antioxidant effects. Cigarette smoke-induced oxidative stress leads to the formation of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) and their decomposition product malondialdehyde (MDA), both of which cause oxidative damage to DNA. Two hundred forty-five heavy cigarette smokers completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to investigate the effect of noni juice on LOOH- and MDA-DNA adducts in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs).

Our current study aimed to evaluate the chemotherapeutic efficacy of baicalein (BE) in Swiss albino mice, which is exposed to benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] for its ability to alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction and systolic failure. Here, we report that oral administration of B(a)P (50 mg/kg body weight)-induced pulmonary genotoxicities in mice was assessed in terms of elevation in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and DNA damage in lung mitochondria. MDA-DNA adducts were formed in immunohistochemical analysis, which confirmed nuclear DNA damage.
