Diepoxybutane (DEB)-and mitomycin C (MMC)-associated toxicity was investigated in embryos from the sea urchin (SU) species Sphaerechinus granularis. DEB-and MMC-induced toxicity resulted in S. granularis embryos and larvae at concentrations ranging 10 5 to 10 4 M DEB, and 3 10 3International Atomic Energy Agency, Quai 6 to 3 10 5 M MMC, in terms of larval malformations, developmental arrest and mortality. The formation of DNA oxidative damage, 8-hydroxy-20-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured in DEB-and in MMC-exposed embryos (at gastrula stage). A dose-dependent increase in 8-OHdG levels was observed that was significantly correlated with DEB-and MMC-induced developmental defects. The results lend further support to the body of evidence associating both DEB and MMC toxicity with oxidative stress, including DNA oxidative damage.
