Comparative analysis of the cytotoxicity, transformation efficiency, induction of alkali labile sites (ALS) and DNA methylation in human foreskin fibroblasts was carried out with two dimethylhydrazine (DMH) regioisomers (1,1-DMH and 1,2-DMH) and the acetate (A) derivative of the metabolite methylazoxymethanol (MAM) of 1,2-DMH. Effective ED50 cytotoxic doses for MAMA, 1,1-DMH and 1,2-DMH were 0.056, 6.83 and 6.30 mM, respectively. MAMA and 1,1-DMH were more effective transformers than 1,2-DMH. However, methylation of purines accounted for less than 1% of the total radiolabel associated with DNA for all 3 agents. 1,2-DMH, 1,1-DMH and MAMA induced O6MeGua/N7MeGua ratio of 0.04, 0.32 and 0.18, respectively. Only MAMA induced measurable alkali labile lesions at transforming doses. These results suggest that other mechanisms may play a role in the initiation of transformation events by hydrazine analogues.
利用两种二甲基肼(DMH)区域异构体(1,1-DMH和1,2-DMH)以及1,2-DMH代谢产物甲基偶氮甲醇(MAM)的乙酸酯(A)衍生物,对人包皮成纤维细胞的细胞毒性、转化效率、碱不稳定位点(ALS)诱导及DNA甲基化进行了比较分析。MAMA、1,1-DMH和1,2-DMH的有效ED50细胞毒性剂量分别为0.056、6.83和6.30 mM。MAMA和1,1-DMH比1,2-DMH更有效地诱导细胞转化。然而,对于所有3种试剂,嘌呤甲基化占与DNA相关的总放射性标记的比例不到1%。1,2-DMH、1,1-DMH和MAMA诱导的O6MeGua/N7MeGua比值分别为0.04、0.32和0.18。只有MAMA在转化剂量下诱导了可测量的碱不稳定损伤。这些结果表明,其他机制可能在肼类似物引发转化事件中起作用。
