Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The iron chelators o-phenanthroline and desferrioxamine were tested for their ability to protect Chinese hamster ovary cells against the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of normobaric hyperoxia. Desferrioxamine added at sub-toxic concentrations (up to 2.5 microM) over a period of several days had no protective effect on hyperoxia-induced clonogenic cell killing and growth inhibition. The clastogenic effect of hyperoxia was strongly potentiated by desferrioxamine, while the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) by hyperoxia was unaffected. Similarly, o-phenanthroline (up to 0.25 microM) had no protective effect on hyperoxia-induced cell killing, growth inhibition, and SCE induction, while also this compound potentiated the clastogenic effect of hyperoxia. These results do not support a critical role for cellular iron in the mechanism of toxicity by normobaric hyperoxia in CHO cells. However, the results may still be consistent with a critical involvement of particular iron fraction(s) not susceptible to the chelators used. Furthermore, our results show that concentrations of iron chelators known to protect against short-term (up to 1 h) toxic exposure to oxidative stress become toxic themselves when applied chronically, i.e., in the order of days.
