To investigate the possible enhancement of genotoxicity in stress environment, we examined the of effect of genotoxic material in oxidative stress-induced condition using human tell line. Human lymphoblast cell line, TK6 was treated with hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) for induction of oxidative stress, and treated with N'-methyl-N'-nitroguanidine (MNNG), af a genetoxic material. We carried out MTS assay to set treatment doses. TK6 was treated with $H_2O_2$ at 6.75 (low dote) or $13.5\;{\mu}M$ (high dose) for 2 h, and treated with MNNG af 0.117 (low dose), 0.234 (middle dose), $0.468\;{\mu}M$ (high dose) for 2 h. As results, a treatment of MNNG induced DNA dam age as dose dependently. And TK6 treated with $H_2O_2$ at low as well as high dose followed by MNNG treatment showed higher DNA damage compared to MNNG alone treated groups. Malondialdehyde, as a marker of lipid peroxidation was increased in $H_2O_2$ and MNNG treated groups. Real-time RT-PCR analyses for expression of several antioxidative enzymes showed that catalase mRNA and glutathione peroxidase 1 mRNA expression were decreased in $H_2O_2$ and MNNG treated groups. Taken together, we conclude that genotoxicity induced by MNNG is enhanced in a condition of oxidative stress induced by $H_2O_2$ and it suggests that it should be associated with induction of lipid peroxidation and decrease of antioxidant enzymes.

Adenoviruses are icosahedral virions containing double-stranded linea DNA. They are 70 nm to 90 nm in diameter and capsid is composed of 252 capsomeres. Several members of this group, including types commonly associated with respiratory disease in man, are capable of producing malignant tumors in young hamsters and a few types have been shown to be oncogenic in young rat. Previous report involving effect of caffein on transformation induced by Adenovirus type 12 [9] has been carried out. The present report represents a continuation of previous study. To obtain evidence concerning the effect of MNNG (N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroguanidine) on transformation, investigation of adenovirus type 12 of this group was undertaken. For practical consideration it was desirable to investigate the effect of MNNG on the adenovirus type 12 induced transformation in L cell. Results were as following 1. Adeno virus type 12 induced transformation was enhanced in the presence of MNNG. 2. Yields of adeno type 12 virus in L cell were slightly inhibited by treatment of MNNG.
