abstract = {The plant extract aristolochic acid (AA), containing
aristolochic acids I (AAI) and II (AAII) as major
components, causes aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) and
Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), unique renal diseases
associated with upper urothelial cancer. Recently (Chemical
Research in Toxicology 33(11), 2804-2818, 2020), we showed
that the in vivo metabolism of AAI and AAII in Wistar rats
is influenced by their co-exposure (i.e., AAI/AAII mixture).
Using the same rat model, we investigated how exposure to
the AAI/AAII mixture can influence AAI and AAII DNA adduct
formation (i.e., AA-mediated genotoxicity). Using
32P-postlabelling, we found that AA-DNA adduct formation was
increased in the livers and kidneys of rats treated with
AAI/AAII mixture compared to rats treated with AAI or AAII
alone. Measuring the activity of enzymes involved in AA
metabolism, we showed that enhanced AA-DNA adduct formation
might be caused partially by both decreased AAI
detoxification as a result of hepatic CYP2C11 inhibition
during treatment with AAI/AAII mixture and by hepatic or
renal NQO1 induction, the key enzyme predominantly
activating AA to DNA adducts. Moreover, our results indicate
that AAII might act as an inhibitor of AAI detoxification in
vivo. Consequently, higher amounts of AAI might remain in
liver and kidney tissues, which can be reductively
activated, resulting in enhanced AAI DNA adduct formation.
Collectively, these results indicate that AAII present in
the plant extract AA enhances the genotoxic properties of
AAI (i.e., AAI DNA adduct formation). As patients suffering
from AAN and BEN are always exposed to the plant extract
(i.e., AAI/AAII mixture), our findings are crucial to better
understanding host factors critical for AAN- and
BEN-associated urothelial malignancy.},
