Role of Active Oxygens on DNA Damage by Low Molecular Carbonyl Compounds Derived from Maillard Reaction

Maillard 반응에서 유래되는 저분자 Carbonyl 화합물의 DNA손상작용에 대한 활성산소종의 역할

The role of the active oxygens on plasmid DNA damage by carbonyl compounds derived from Maillard reaction was investigated. Plasmid DNA extracted from E. coli Hb1O1 was reacted with carbonyl compounds, such as glyoxal, methyl glyoxal, dihydroxyacetone, diacetyl, glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde and furfural with and without the active oxygen scavengers at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours, and then the degree of damage was determined by using 1 ％ agarose gel electro-phoresis. All of the carbonyl compounds except furfural caused to damage of DNA. Among these, glyoxal, methyl glyoxal and dihydroxyacetone markedly induced the damage of DNA. On the other hand, the DNA damage by the carbonyl compounds was greatly inhibited by catalase, superoxide dismutase and $\alpha$-tocopherol it is considered that the damage of DNA is due to active oxygens, such as singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion generated during the autoxidation of carbonyl compounds.

Plasmid pBR322 DNA와 Maillard 반응생성물중 카르보닐화합물인 glyoxal, methyl glyoxal, dihydroxyacetone, diacetyl, glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde 및 furfural 등과 각각 37$^{\circ}C$에서 반응시켰을때 나타나는 DNA 손상능과 활성산소소거제에 의한 DNA손상억제 작용을 agarose gel 전기영동을 통하여 살펴보았다. 카르보닐화합물을 37$^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 반응시켰을 경우, furfural을 제외한 모든 카르보닐화합물에 DNA 손상능이 나타났는데, 그 중에서도 glyoxal, methyl glyoxal 및 dihyd-roxyacetone 이 diacetyl, glyceraldehyde 및 glyco-laldehyde보다 BNA의 손상능이 크게 나타났다. 또한 plasmid DNA와 카르보닐화합물의 반응계에 각종 활성산소소거제의 첨가를 통하여 이들 카르보닐화합물에 대한 DNA의 손상을 검토한 결과 일중항산소, 과산화수소, superoxide anion 등이 주요원인물질로 밝혀졌으며, hydroxyl radical은 그 작용이 미약하거나 거의 영향을 나타내지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
