Ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA) induces renal proximal tubular damage that ultimately leads to a high incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in rats. The RCCs are characterized by 1) high incidence of pulmonary metastasis and peritoneal invasion, 2) high incidence of tumor-associated mortality and 3) possible involvement of reactive oxygen species in carcinogenesis. The present study investigated the possible role of Tsc2 and VHL tumor suppressor genes in this model. Thirty-four Fe-NTA-induced primary RCCs and 20 other primary or metastatic tumors of rats were searched for genetic alteration in all the coding exons of both genes by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand-conformation polymorphism analysis and sequencing in conjunction with morphological evaluation. In the Fe-NTA-induced RCCs, frequency of metastasis or invasion was proportionally associated with the nuclear grade of the tumor (grades 1-3). Only one Fe-NTA-induced RCC of grade 1 revealed missense mutations with loss of heterozygosity in exon 10 of the Tsc2 gene (codons 334, GTG (Val) to GCG (Ala), and 336, TAT (Tyr) to CAT (His)). No mutation was found in the VHL gene. The results suggest that 1) high-grade RCCs can develop in the absence of mutations in the Tsc2 and VHL genes in rats, and that 2) Tsc2 gene somatic mutation can nonetheless be one of the causes of non-Eker rat RCCs.

An iron chelate, ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA), induces renal proximal tubular damage, a consequence of iron-catalysed Fenton-like reactions, that finally leads to a high incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in rodents. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a family of enzymes that play an important role in detoxification of hydrophobic and electrophilic molecules, and has been associated with putative preneoplastic foci of rat hepatocarcinogenesis and chemotherapy-resistance of human cancers. Our previous study revealed an induction of π-class glutathione S-transferase (Yp) mRNA in the kidney 3 h after administration of Fe-NTA. In the present study, expression of GST isozymes were further investigated in the Fe-NTA-induced RCCs of rats which are characterized by (1) high incidence of metastasis and invasion, (2) high incidence of tumour-associated mortality, and (3) possible involvement of reactive oxygen species in carcinogenesis. In the Fe-NTA-induced RCCs, the levels of α-class GST (Ya) mRNA and proteins were markedly decreased with no apparent change in the copy number of the gene. In contrast, GST-Yp mRNA and proteins were significantly increased in the RCCs while the total GST enzymatic activity was decreased. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed intense staining of GST-Yp not only in the primary RCCs and its metastatic sites, but also in their non-tumorous part of proximal tubules. The contrastive expression of GST isozymes in this renal carcinogenesis model suggests an alteration of its transcription mechanisms and warrants further investigation of this particular detoxifying enzyme from the viewpoint of reactive oxygen species-induced carcinogenesis.

4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is one of the major components of lipid peroxidation product and has been shown to react with proteins to form HNE-protein adducts. HNE-protein adducts are relatively stable and can be used as a marker of radical-mediated cellular damage. We report herein the immunohistochemical analysis of HNE-protein adducts in human alcoholic liver diseases using a specific monoclonal antibody HNEJ-2. Cytoplasm of hepatocytes and bile duct epithelia was positively stained for HNE-protein adducts, and the nucleus was negligibly stained. The immunohistochemical intensity of hepatocytes was classified into three groups: strong, moderate, and faint staining. Strong staining was found in 43% of alcoholic liver diseases and in 4% of viral liver diseases. Hepatocytes of alcoholic liver diseases contained a higher amount of HNE-protein adducts than those of viral liver diseases, and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.005; chi(2) test). Semiquantitative analysis of the histological intensities of HNE-protein adducts and iron indicated a significant positive correlation (p = 0.084; Spearman's rank correlation). The localization of HNE-protein adducts and iron in hepatocytes appeared to be identical. These data suggested the correlation between HNE-protein adducts and iron. Our results indicate that HNE-protein adducts, a marker of oxidative stress-induced damage, are increased in human alcoholic liver damage, and that hepatic siderosis may act on the production of free radicals.
