Reaction of chromium(VI) with glutathione or with hydrogen peroxide: identification of reactive intermediates and their role in chromium(VI)-induced DNA damage.

TLDR
The nature of chromium(VI)-induced DNA damage appears to be dependent on the reactive intermediates, i.e. chromium (V) or hydroxyl radical, produced during the reduction of chromation(VI).
Abstract
The types of reactive intermediates generated upon reduction of chromium(VI) by glutathione or hydrogen peroxide and the resulting DNA damage have been determined. In vitro, reaction of chromium(VI...

Protein kinase C signaling and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: KPCs contain unique structural features that are susceptible to oxidative modification, and are a logical candidate for redox modification by oxidants and antioxidants that may in part determine their cancer-promoting and anticancer activities, respectively.

Mechanisms of chromium toxicity, carcinogenicity and allergenicity: Review of the literature from 1985 to 2000

TL;DR: Biochemical studies of the DNA-damaging effects and of the pathogenesis of the allergic reactions to chromium ions have not kept up with advances in understanding of the molecular basis of the effects of other carcinogens and allergens.

Toxic DNA damage by hydrogen peroxide through the Fenton reaction in vivo and in vitro.

TL;DR: An in vitro Fenton system was established that generates DNA strand breaks and inactivates bacteriophage and that also reproduces the suppression of DNA damage by high concentrations of peroxide.

Misreading of DNA templates containing 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine at the modified base and at adjacent residues

TL;DR: The syn-thetic oligodeoxynucleotides, with or without an 8-OH-dG residue in a specified position, were chemically synthesized and used as templates for DNA synthesis under the conditions of the dideoxy chain termination sequencing method.

Hydroxyl Free Radical Adduct of Deoxyguanosine: Sensitive Detection and Mechanisms of Formation

TL;DR: It was found that ferrous ion, but not ferric ion, was effective in forming 8-OH-dG, and the hydroxyl free radical scavenging agents, thiourea and ethanol, were very effective in quenching Fe(11) mediated 8- OH- dG formation, but superoxide dismutase had very little effect.

In vivo formation of single-strand breaks in DNA by hydrogen peroxide is mediated by the Haber-Weiss reaction

TL;DR: The chelator therefore removes iron from the chromatin, and although the Fe-EDTA complex formed is capable of reacting with H2O2, the OH radical generated under these conditions is not close enough to hit DNA.
