The appearance of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) was examined immunohistochemically using an 8-oxodG-monoclonal antibody in 28 cases of arsenic-related human skin tumors and in 20 cases of arsenic-unrelated human skin cancer to determine if the induction of oxidative stress participates in skin tumorigenesis caused by arsenics. The rate of 8-oxodG-positive was significantly higher in arsenic-related human skin cancer (28 of 28, 100%) than in arsenic-unrelated human skin cancer (3 of 20, 15%, P < 0.01 by chi(2) test). Moreover, in all the arsenic-related skin samples, 8-oxodG was detected not only in tumor tissues but also in keratosis and normal tissues. These results suggest that the induction of oxidative stress m ay play an important role in arsenic carcinogenesis. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
