AIM: To study the regulatory effect of expression of hMTH1 and hOGG1 genes on the oxidative DNA-adduct 8-OHdG levels in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and non-tumourous liver tissue in order to elucidate the role of the DNA repair enzymes in hepatocarcinogenesis.
METHODS: A reverse transcription (RT)/real-time-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was used to semi-quantify mRNA of hMTH1 and hOGG1 in HCC and non-tumourous liver tissue from 23 patients with HCC. 8-OHdG levels were determined by HPLC/ECD.
RESULTS: The median of 8-OHdG levels in non-tumourousliver tissue was significantly (133 vs 56 nmol/g DNA, P < 0.01) higher than that in HCC tissue. This was correlated with the severity of inflammation in non-tumourous liver tissues. The expression of hMTH1 was significantly (0.476 vs 0.256, P < 0.05) higher in HCC tissue than that in non-tumourous liver tissue. No difference of expression of hOGG1 between non-tumourous liver and HCC tissue was seen. A significant correlation was detected between the expression of hMTH1 and hOGG1 (r = 0.81, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Elevated 8-OHdG levels in non-tumourousliver are likely due to the increased generation of reactive oxygen intermediates by infiltrating inflammatory cells. The expression of DNA repair enzymes hOGG1 and hMTH1 may involve cooperatively in the repair oxidative DNA adduct 8-OHdG and have a potential role in hepatocarcinogenesis.
