Background & Aims: The luminal microenvironment including acid and nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in Barrett's esophagus carcinogenesis. We investigated the ability of acid and NO to induce DNA damage in esophageal cells. Methods: Transformed and primary Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma cells were exposed to either acid, (pH 3.5), +/- antioxidant or NO from a donor or generated by acidification of nitrite in the presence of ascorbate +/- NO scavenger. Phosphorylation of histone H2AX and the neutral comet assay were used to detect DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and NO were detected with fluorescent dyes. Mitochondrial viability was measured with a rhodamine dye. Long-term survival was assessed by clonogenic assay. Results: Exposure to acid (pH 3.5) for >= 15 minutes induced DSBs in all cell lines (P 25 mu mol/L) and cell-dependent manner (adenocarcinoma >Barrett's esophagus, P
