Effects of Heavy Metal Co-Exposure on the formation of DNA Adducts from Aristolochic Acid I: Implications for Balkan Endemic Nephropathy Development
CHEMICAL RESEARCH IN TOXICOLOGY(2024)
摘要
Accumulated evidence has shown that Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a multifactorial environmental disease, with exposure to aristolochic acids (AA), and the associated DNA adduct formation, as a key causative factor of BEN development. Here, we show that coexposure to arsenic, cadmium, and iron increases the DNA adduct formation of AA in cultured kidney cells, while exhibiting both an exposure concentration and duration dependence. In contrast, coexposure to calcium and copper showed a decreasing DNA adduct formation. Because DNA damage is responsible for both the nephrotoxicity and carcinogenicity of AA, these results shed greater light on the endemic nature of BEN.
