Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIM: To investigate effects of NADH on mutations of p53 gene and c-erbB2 gene in L02 cells induced by diethylnitrosamine(DENA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The anti-mutagenesis effects of NADH on DENA-induced mutations of p53 gene in L02 cells were investigated by PCR-SSCP and PCR-RFLP analysis. The effect of NADH on c-erbB2 gene amplification was assessed by Southern blotting analysis. RESULTS: PCR-SSCP analysis showed that the mutation rate of p53 exon7 in DL02-Ⅲ and DL02-B cells in NADH protection groups decreased to 33.3%(4/12)and 50%(6/12), respectively. The difference was significant(P<0.01)compared with DENA mutagenesis group. PCR-RFLP analysis showed that NADH decreased the mutation frequency of the 249th codon of p53 in L02 cells induced by DENA. Southern blotting showed that NADH down-regulated the amplification of c-erbB2 gene in L02 cells induced by DENA. CONCLUSION: Reduced coenzyme NADH had anti-mutagenesis effects and could decrease mutation of p53 and inhibit the expression of c-erbB2 in L02 cells induced by DENA.
