Nickel carbonate induces DNA-protein crosslinks and DNA strand breaks in rat kidney

R B Ciccarelli et al. Cancer Lett. 1981 May.

Abstract

DNA lesions were observed in kidney nuclei isolated from rats 20 h after i.p. injection with nickel carbonate. Dose-dependent, nickel-induced DNA crosslinks and DNA single strand breaks were detected using the alkaline elution technique. The DNA crosslinks were determined to be completely DNA-protein in nature. The DNA damage induced by nickel carbonate is discussed relative to the carcinogenicity of nickel compounds.
