Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a para-chlorophenolic mycotoxin produced by strains of Aspergillus and Penicillium that is widely found as a contaminant of improperly stored food products. The toxin is a potent renal carcinogen in rats, especially male, and has an implicated role in the etiology of Balkan endemic nephropathy and its associated urinary tract tumours. Although the mechanism of OTA-mediated tumour formation is not fully understood, and represents a hotly debated topic, bioactivation and subsequent DNA adduction through covalent attachment of electrophilic OTA species remains a viable mechanism for OTA-mediated carcinogenesis. In this paper we outline the established chemistry for the bioactivation of chlorophenol carcinogens and demonstrate how this chemistry relates to the bioactivation of OTA. From this basis it is predicted that OTA will form a benzoquinone electrophile following activation by cytochrome P450 enzymes and radical species following activation by enzymes with peroxidase activities. These electrophiles react preferentially with deoxyguanosine (dG) to form benzetheno adducts and C8- dG adducts, respectively. Analysis of OTA-mediated DNA adduction using the 32P-postlabelling method correlates with OTA chemistry and adduct spots derived from the quinone electrophile are generated following activation by cytochrome P450, while a C8-OTA adduct is formed following activation of OTA by peroxidase enzymes. These same adduct spots are also produced in animal (rat and pig) and human tumoral kidney tissue. This model for OTAmediated carcinogenesis is consistent with established structure-activity relationships for covalent attachment of OTA analogues and OTA toxicity. The model also provides a rationale for the synergistic effect observed for OTA in the presence of the mycotoxin citrinin and for the sexual differences observed in rat carcinogenesis where the male is particularly susceptible to OTA-mediated tumour formation.
