In the present study, we investigated the effect of the p-Coumaric acid (PCA), a phenolic acid, on potassium bromate (KBrO ) induced oxidative damage, Ras/Raf/MEK signaling, and apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Our findings showed that PCA-treated cells prevented cytotoxicity compared with KBrO treated cells. Furthermore, KBrO -induced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation was attenuated by PCA and it also increased the antioxidant levels such as SOD, CAT, and GPX. Additionally, PCA inhibited the KBrO -induced DNA damage in HepG2 cells. Moreover, PCA treatment suppressed the activation of Ras/Raf/MEK signaling and increased the expression of PRDX-1. In addition, PCA prevented the KBrO -induced apoptosis cascade by altering the expression of proapoptotic, Bax, caspase-3, and antiapoptotic, Bcl-2 proteins. The present study proves that PCA inhibited the KBrO -induced oxidative stress, DNA damage, and apoptotic signaling cascade in HepG2 cells.

8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is a common oxidative DNA lesion that causes G > T substitutions. Determinants of local and regional differences in 8-oxoG-induced mutability across genomes are currently unknown. Here, we show DNA oxidation induces G > T substitutions and insertion/deletion (INDEL) mutations in human cells and cancers.

Potassium bromate (KBrO) is a common dietary additive, pharmaceutical ingredient, and significant by-product of water disinfection. p-coumaric acid (PCA) is a naturally occurring nutritional polyphenolic molecule with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The goal of the current investigation was to examine the protective effects of p-coumaric acid against the liver damage caused by KBrO.

Article Synopsis
  • 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) serves as a biomarker for oxidative stress and a mutagenic alteration in DNA that can lead to specific types of gene mutations.
  • While potassium bromate (KBrO) induces 8-OHdG and exhibits carcinogenic effects, studies showed different mutation patterns between mice's small intestines and rats' kidneys when exposed to KBrO.
  • The current study focused on gpt delta rats treated with KBrO, revealing increased 8-OHdG levels and distinct mutation spectra in the kidney cortex, suggesting that even though 8-OHdG is linked to mutations, its role in gene alterations may be limited.

Oxidative stress accelerates intestinal tumorigenesis by enhancing 8-oxoguanine-mediated mutagenesis in MUTYH-deficient mice.

Oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and its repair systems are related to cancer etiology; however, the molecular basis triggering tumorigenesis is not well understood. Here, we aimed to explore the causal relationship between oxidative stress, somatic mutations in pre-tumor-initiated normal tissues, and tumor incidence in the small intestines of MUTYH-proficient and MUTYH-deficient mice. MUTYH is a base excision repair enzyme associated with human colorectal cancer.

This study explored the effect of naringin (NAR) on HGPRT1 deficiency and hyperuricemia through NOS-cAMP-PKA and BDNF/TrkB signaling pathways induced by caffeine (CAF) and KBrO in a rat model. Sixty-three adult male albino rats were randomly assigned into nine (n = 7) groups. Group I: control animals, Group II was treated with 100 mg/kg KBrO , Group III was treated with 250 mg/kg CAF, Group IV was treated with 100 mg/kg KBrO  + 250 mg/kg CAF, Group V was administered with 100 mg/kg KBrO  + 100 mg/kg haloperidol, Group VI was administered with 100 mg/kg KBrO  + 50 mg/kg NAR, Group VII was administered with 500 mg/kg CAF + 50 mg/kg NAR, and Group VIII was administered with 100 mg/kg KBrO  + 250 mg/kg CAF + 50 mg/kg NAR.
