5-(Hydroxymethyl)uracil may be formed during the course of the two processes: oxidation/hydroxylation of thymine with resultant formation of 5-hydroxymethyluracil paired with adenine (produced by reactive oxygen species) and reacting of reactive oxygen species with 5-methylcytosine forming 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, followed by its deamination to 5-hydroxymethyluracil mispaired with guanine. Determination and quantification of hydroxymethyl uracil in urine serve as a potential biomarker of oxidative DNA damage. It was discovered, that urinary 5-hydroxymethyluracil might reflect the oxidative stress/chronic inflammation in colorectal cancer although the diagnostic performance for early-detection is moderate.

The effect of 5-hydroxymethyluracil (0.01-10 μg/ml) on the mitogenic response of donor peripheral blood T cells under conditions of lymphocyte stimulation through T-cell receptor (antiCD3 monoclonal antibodies) or through T-cell receptor and CD28 co-receptor molecule (antiCD3 and antiCD28 monoclonal antibodies) was studied. It was shown, that 5-hydroxymethyluracil suppressed the mitogenic response of T cells stimulated with antiCD3 antibodies, which was paralleled by an increase in the count of silent cells and decrease in the count of dividing lymphocytes, but not by stimulation of apoptosis of activated cells.
