The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is more vulnerable to effects by the outside environment, and experiences oxidative stress. A wide diversity of GI disorders can be partially attributed to oxidative stress. However, the mechanism of oxidative stress-caused GI pathological changes is not clear. In the present study, human gastric epithelial cells (hGECs) were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and oxidative stress was determined. The effect of oxidative stress on the levels of some antioxidative enzymes, proliferation, nuclear DNA damage, apoptosis, expression of ten-eleven translocation (TET), and level of DNA methylation was determined in these cells. The results showed that H₂O₂ treatment caused oxidative stress, increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA), decreased the level of glutathione (GSH), inhibited proliferation, caused nuclear DNA damage and apoptosis, upregulated the expression of TET1 gene, and ultimately led to active DNA demethylation in hGECs. The present study presents a mechanism by which oxidative stress induces active DNA demethylation in hGECs. We propose that TET inhibitors can be used to restore the oxidative stress-induced DNA demethylation, and thus inhibit possible malignant transformation of GI cells.
