Catechol is a genotoxic agent assumed to induce DNA damage via the oxidative pathway. Using the comet assay and the repair-specific enzymes formamido pyrimidine glycosylase (Fpg) and endonuclease III (Endo 111), we examined the ability of catechol to induce DNA damage in extended-term cultures of human lymphocytes and mouse lymphoma cells. Our results suggest that mouse lymphoma cells are somewhat more sensitive towards catechol-induced DNA damage than the extended-term cultures of human lymphocytes. At high concentrations, the catechol-induced damage seemed to be independent of both Fpg and Endo 111, possibly indicating a non-oxidative pathway for the DNA damage (involving, for example, a bulky adduct). The fact that Endo 111, but not Fpg, enhanced the DNA damaging effect of catechol, suggests that this metabolite of benzene either mediates oxidation of pyrimidines rather than purines, or that oxidised purines are repaired more efficiently, at least in human lymphocytes. In the latter cells, low concentrations of catechol were found to reduce the DNA migration. Considering the role of Fpg and it's adduct specific detection of 8-oxoguanine, this suggests that a low concentration of catechol has an antioxidative effect reducing the background levels of oxidized purines.
