    Abstract: The ability of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) to induce chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in peripheral lymphocytes was studied in a group of workers occupationally exposed to PCBs during the production of the Czechoslovak PCB products Delor 103 and Delor 106. The effect of PCB exposure was compared between an exposed group (N = 32, 3.25 ± 0.34% aberrant cells, AB.C.), control group 1(N = 20, 1.30 ± 0.29% AB.C.), and control group 2 (N = 20, 1.60 ± 0.31% AB.C.). The length of PCB exposure over 10 yr increased the frequency of AB.C. in a group exposed for 11–15 yr to 3.40% (N = 5) and in a group exposed for 16–25 yr to 5.85% (N = 7) vs. an increase of 1.60% AB.C. in group C 2 and of SCE to 12.6 ± 0.9/cell vs. 6.9 ± 0.7 SCE/cell in C 2 . The clastogenic activity observed in this group may be the result of a high PCB concentration in blood plasma (320 ± 190 μg PCB/1), and it is probably related to its solubility in adipose tissue, when it may act as another mutagen and carcinogen biotransformation inducer.

    Abstract: Background. Ostrava Region in the Northern Moravia (Silesia) is the most polluted region in the Czech Republic by particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (c-PAHs) as benzo[a]pyrene (B[a] P). Sources of this pollution are industry (steel production, coke oven), traffic and local heating. In the most polluted district of Ostrava City Bartovice in the year 2009 was PM10 47.6±42.1 μg/m3, B[a]P was 9.2±4.2 ng/ m3. Objectives. The aim of the study is to gain new knowledge on the mechanisms of the effects of complex mixtures bound on dust particles (c-PAHs) in the ambient air on biomarkers of exposure and effect during the period of inversion in January-February 2010. Molecular epidemiology study. In the Ostrava City were selected 78 volunteers- working in the office, 31 city policemen from the near town Karvina, 12 city policemen from the near town Havirov, and 28 volunteers from Ostrava-Bartovice. As controls were city policemen from Prague (N=65). All volunteers were nonsmokers. The personal monitoring to c-PAHs was carried on in January-February 2010. The determined concentration of B[a]P was in the Ostrava region vs. Prague 14.8±13.3 vs. 2.80±1.87 ng/ m3. The impact of these concentration to biomarkers as DNA adducts, chromosomal aberrations, 8-oxodG, lipid peroxidation, genetic polymorphisms (metabolic and DNA repair genes) and gene expression profiles are followed. DNA adducts were analysed in lymphocytes by 32P-postlabeling assay, chromosomal aberrations by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) by whole chromosome painting #1 and #4, and by the determination of micronuclei, oxidative damage as 8-oxodG and 15-F2t-IsoP. Obtained results indicate no differences between the level of biomarkers determined in the Ostrava region and Prague. But different results were observed in four subjects from Prague, who spent 3 weeks in Ostrava during this inversion (exposed), compared to controls from Prague. Analyzing 6000 cells/subject, the frequency of micronuclei in exposed group increased from 7.96±4.92 to 12.91±6.49 MN/1000 vs. 8.32±1.63 and 8.47±1.55 MN/1000 in controls (p & lt;0.05). Similar tendency was observed using FISH and analysing 5000 cells/subject, genomic frequency of translocations (FG/100) in exposed group increased from 1.44±0.66 to 2.44±1.82 FG/100 vs. 1.51±0.61 and 1.45±0.0.52 FG/100. Conclusion: We may speculate, that high environmental exposure to B[a]P does not correspond to DNA damage according to dose effect relationship in a population affected by these concentrations for years, probably due to a possible adaptive response.

    Abstract: Oxidative stress to placenta DNA may result in negative pregnancy outcomes, including intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and low birth weight (LBW). The aim of our study was to investigate the association between the levels of 8-oxodeoxuanosine (8-oxodG), a marker of oxidative DNA damage, in placenta DNA, exposure to particulate matter & lt;2.5 µm (PM2.5) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a] P) during pregnancy, genetic polymorphisms in 97 genes and pregnancy outcomes in a group of 891 newborns born between the years 1994 and 1999 in the Czech Republic in two districts with different levels of air pollution. We observed a borderline difference in oxidative stress levels between the IUGR and non-IUGR group (median 8-oxodG/105 dG (range): 2.03 (0.29-6.17) and 1.74 (0.20-6.50), p=0.055, for the IUGR and non-IUGR group, respectively) and higher oxidative stress in the LBW newborns (median 8-oxodG/105 dG (range): 2.25 (0.27-6.25) and 1.75 (0.20-6.50), p & lt;0.05, for the LBW and non-LBW group, respectively). Univariate regression analysis revealed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 12 genes (ADH1B, ALDH2, BCL6, CCL2, CTLA4, CXCL10, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, GATA3, IL13, MGMT, XPC) to be associated with 8-oxodG levels; IUGR was associated with SNPs in 6 genes (AHR, C5, CCL24, CTLA4, TLR4, XRCC3), while LBW with SNPs in 18 genes (ADH1C, CCL7, CCL8, CCL18, CYP1A1, ERCC3, HMOX1, IL10, LIG1, LTA, MBL2, STAT4, TOLLIP, TLR2, XPC, TP53, XRCC1, XRCC3). 8-oxodG levels were increased by exposure to PM2.5 in the first four moths of pregnancy; exposure to B[a]P had no effect. Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression revealed that newborns with above-median levels of 8-oxodG ( & gt;1.80 8-oxodG/105 dG) had 64% higher probability of IUGR (OR (95% CI): 1.64 (1.12-2.42), p & lt;0.05) than newborns with below-median levels of oxidative DNA damage. Genetic polymorphisms in ADH1B, C5 and TLR4, as well as body mass index and the length of education of the mother also significantly affected the risk of IUGR. Oxidative DNA damage was not confirmed by multivariate-adjusted logistic regression to be a risk factor of LBW. Variables affecting LBW include genetic polymorphisms in CCL7, HMOX1 and STAT4, gender, mother's smoking and the length of gestation. In summary, our results suggest that oxidative DNA damage increases the risk of IUGR; exposure to air pollution during pregnancy is not a significant independent factor affecting 8-oxodG-related IUGR.
