| Research Abstract |
Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) metabolizes acetaldehyde produced from ethanol into acetate and plays a major role in the oxidation of acetaldehyde in vivo. Half of Japanese have inactive ALDH2. In order to investigate the mutagenicity of acetaldehyde, micronucleus (MN) assay and T cell receptor (TCR) gene mutation assay were performed in Aldh2 KO mice and wild type (Aldh2 WT) mice exposed to acetaldehyde or ethanol in vivo. We also observed the urine 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), hemoglobin-associated acetaldehyde (Hb-AA), and mutation on tRNA gene of mitochondrial DNA. In results, frequencies of micronuclei in reticulocytes significantly increased by acetaldehyde exposure in Aldh2 KO mice, but not in Aldh2 WT mice. In addition, frequencies of micronuclei, TCR mutation, and 8-OHdG levels in urine were significantly high in Aldh2 KO mice than in Aldh2 WT mice even in control groups. These results indicate that Aldh2 plays a major role not only in acetaldehyde detoxification but also in oxidative stress in mice.
