Objective: The objectives of this study were to assess cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome (CBMN Cyt) assay parameters and also oxidative DNA damage in patients with active acromegaly and controls and to assess the relationship between age, serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, pituitary adenoma diameters, 8-hydroxy-2 '-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels and CBMN Cyt assay parameters in patients with active acromegaly.Design: The study population included 30 patients with active acromegaly and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. CBMN Cyt assay parameters in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with active acromegaly and controls were evaluated and plasma 8-OHdG levels were measured.Results: Frequencies of micronucleus (MN), nucleoplasmic bridges (NPBs) and nuclear buds (NBUDs) in lymphocytes of patients with acromegaly were found to be significantly higher than those in controls (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). The frequencies of apoptotic and necrotic cells in lymphocytes of patients with acromegaly were found to be significantly higher than those in controls (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001 respectively). No statistically significant differences in the number of cells in metaphase, the number of bi-nucleated cells (M2), the number of tri-nucleated cells (M3), the number of tetra-nucleated cells (M4) and nuclear division index (NDI) values were observed between patients and controls (p > 0.05). Plasma 8-OHdG (ng/ml) levels in patients with acromegaly were found to be significantly higher than those in controls (p < 0.005). MN frequency in the lymphocytes of patients with acromegaly increased with elevated serum IGF-1 levels (p < 0.05), whereas the number of NPBs and the frequency of apoptotic cells decreased with elevated serum IGF-1 levels (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05 respectively).Conclusions: Both the increase in chromosomal/oxidative DNA damage and the positive association between MN frequency and serum IGF-1 levels may predict an increased risk of malignancy in acromegalic patients. Long-term follow-up of patients with acromegaly will be necessary to establish the degree of cancer risk in this population. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
