BACKGROUND & AIMS: Dietary exposure to aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)), in addition to other known factors' increases risk for human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCCs from AFB(1)-exposed individuals frequently have distinct TP53 Mutations, Such as G to T transversions in the second guanine of codon 249 (AGG to AGT), and a characteristic mutational spectrum predominated by G:C to T:A mutations. METHODS: To recapitulate the distinctive features of TP53 mutations in AFB(1)-associated HCC, we investigated AFB(1)-induced DNA adduction in relation to muragenesis in transgenic mouse fibroblasts exposed to AFB(1) in vitro. RESULTS: Immunodotblot determination of DNA adducts in the overall genome of AFB(1)-exposed cells revealed the dose-dependant formation of persistent imidazole ring-opened AFB(1)-DNA adducts. DNA footprinting analysis of the cII transgene in AFB(1)-exposed. cells verified the dose-dependent and sequence-specific formation of DNA adducts. The preferential formation of AFB(1)-induced DNA adducts along the cII transgene was almost exclusively localized to guanine-containing sequences encompassing CpG dinucleotides. Mutation analysis of the cII transgene in AFB(1)-exposed cells revealed a dose-dependent induction of cII mutant Frequency (P < .001) and a unique induced mutational spectrum characterized by predominant induction of G:C to T:A transversions that Occurred within CpG sequence contexts. Notably, codons 42 and 45 of the cII transgene, which have identical sequence contexts to that of codon 249 of human TP53, constituted 2 frequently mutated sites in AFB(1)-exposed cells that contained the G to T transversion signature mutation at their third base positions. CONCLUSIONS: In this model system, AFB(1)-induced DNA adduction and mutagenesis recapitulate the unique mutational features of TP53 in AFB(1)-associated human HCC.
