Abstract
Reduced DNA repair capacity is associated with increased risk for a variety of disease processes including carcinogenesis. Thus, DNA repair proteins have the potential to be used as important predictive, prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers in cancer and other diseases. The measurement of the expression level of these enzymes may be an excellent tool for this purpose. Mass spectrometry is becoming the technique of choice for the identification and quantification of proteins. We applied liquid chromatography/ isotope-dilution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the identification and quantification of DNA repair proteins human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) and E. coli formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg), which are involved in base-excision repair of DNA damage. We over-expressed, purified and characterized 15N-labeled analogues of these proteins to be used as internal standards. 15N-labeled whole proteins are ideal internal standards to ensure the accuracy of quantification of proteins by mass spectrometry. DNA glycosylase activities of 15N-labeled hOGG1 and 15N-labeled Fpg were determined and found to be essentially identical to those of their respective unlabeled counterparts, ascertaining that the 15N-labeling did not perturb their catalytic sites. hOGG1, Fpg and their 15N-labeled analogues were digested with trypsin and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. A large number of tryptic peptides of both proteins were identified on the basis of their full-scan mass spectra. These peptides matched the theoretical peptide fragments expected from the trypsin digestion and provided statistically significant protein scores that would unequivocally identify these proteins. We also recorded the product ion spectra (MS/MS spectra) of the tryptic peptides and defined the characteristic product ions. Mixtures of the analyte proteins and their 15N-labeled analogues as internal standards were analyzed by selected-reaction monitoring (SRM) on the basis of the previously identified product ions in the MS/MS spectra. The experimental conditions for these analyses were optimized. The methodology was successfully applied to the measurement of human OGG1 in human cells and Fpg in E.coli. The results obtained in this work suggest that the methodology developed would be highly suitable for the positive identification and accurate quantification of DNA repair proteins in vivo as potential biomarkers for cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80-85% of all cases of lung cancer and is known to be caused by smoking and other carcinogenic agents. Oxidatively induced DNA damage is involved in multiple modifications and mutations in DNA, thereby in pathogenesis of cancer as well as other diseases. In this study, we compared the tumor tissues to the surrounding healthy tissues obtained from 29 NSCLC patients who had undergone surgical resection. The levels of oxidatively induced DNA lesions such as 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua), 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) and (5′S)-8,5′-cyclo-2′-deoxyadenosine (S-cdA) were measured by gas chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectrometry. We found that the level of S-cdA was statistically significantly greater in cancer tissues than that in control tissues (p=0.0063), whereas the levels of FapyGua and 8-OH-Gua showed no significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant correlation between DNA damage and age, smoking or pathological stage. These results provide evidence for significant accumulation of S-cdA in tumor tissues compared to surrounding healthy tissues in NSCLC. The evaluation of the alterations in the levels of DNA lesions may contribute to the elucidation of the DNA repair defects in NSCLC.

Abstract
The DNA repair enzyme NEIL1 is a DNA glycosylase that is involved in the first step of base excision repair (BER) of oxidatively induced DNA damage. NEIL1 exhibits a strong preference for excision of 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua) from DNA with no specificity for 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua). In this study, we report on the significant accumulation of (5'R)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (R-cdA) and (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (S-cdA) in liver DNA of neil1(-/-) mice that were not exposed to exogenous oxidative stress, while no accumulation of these lesions was observed in liver DNA from control or ogg1(-/-) mice. Significant accumulation of FapyGua was detected in liver DNA of both neil1(-/-) and ogg1(-/-) mice, while 8-OH-Gua accumulated in ogg1(-/-) only. Since R-cdA and S-cdA contain an 8,5'-covalent bond between the base and sugar moieties, they cannot be repaired by BER. There is evidence that these lesions are repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER). Since the accumulation of R-cdA and S-cdA in neil1(-/-) mice strongly points to the failure of their repair, these data suggest that NEIL1 is involved in NER of R-cdA and S-cdA. Further studies aimed at elucidating the mechanism of action of NEIL1 in NER are warranted.

Abstract
Human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) efficiently removes mutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine when paired with cytosine in oxidatively damaged DNA. Excision of 8-oxoGua mispaired with adenine may lead to G-->T transversions. Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation could affect the cellular distribution and enzymatic activity of OGG1. Mutations and polymorphisms of OGG1 may affect the enzymatic activity and have been associated with increased risk of several cancers. In this study, we used double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides containing 8-oxoGua:Cyt or 8-oxoGua:Ade pairs, as well as gamma-irradiated calf thymus DNA, to investigate the kinetics and substrate specificity of several known OGG1 polymorphic variants and phosphomimetic Ser-->Glu mutants. Among the polymorphic variants, A288V and S326C displayed opposite-base specificity similar to that of wild-type OGG1, whereas OGG1-D322N was 2.3-fold more specific for the correct opposite base than the wild-type enzyme. All phosphomimetic mutants displayed approximately 1.5-3-fold lower ability to remove 8-oxoGua in both assays, whereas the substrate specificity of the phosphomimetic mutants was similar to that of the wild-type enzyme. OGG1-S326C efficiently excised 8-oxoGua from oligodeoxynucleotides and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine from gamma-irradiated DNA, but excised 8-oxoG rather inefficiently from gamma-irradiated DNA. Otherwise, kcat values for 8-oxoGua excision obtained from both types of experiments were similar for all OGG1 variants studied. It is known that the human AP endonuclease APEX1 can stimulate OGG1 activity by increasing its turnover rate. However, when wild-type OGG1 was replaced by one of the phosphomimetic mutants, very little stimulation of 8-oxoGua removal was observed in the presence of APEX1.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) exists in mammalian tissues in vivo at high concentrations and plays an important protective role against oxidatively induced damage to biological molecules, including DNA. We investigated oxidatively induced damage to DNA by GSH depletion in different organs of rabbits in vivo. Rabbits were treated subcutaneously with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an effective GSH-depleting compound. GSH levels were measured in heart, brain, liver, and kidney of animals. BSO treatment significantly reduced GSH levels in heart, brain, and liver, but not in kidney. DNA was isolated from these tissues to test whether GSH depletion causes oxidatively induced DNA damage in vivo. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with isotope dilution methods were applied to measure typical products of oxidatively induced damage in isolated DNA samples. Several such products were identified and quantified in all organs. BSO treatment caused significant formation of 8-hydroxyguanine, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine, 8-hydroxyadenine, and (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA of organs of rabbits. Animals were fed with the semiessential amino acid 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (taurine) during BSO treatment. Taurine significantly inhibited GSH depletion and also formation of DNA products. Depletion of GSH correlated well with formation of DNA products, indicating the role of GSH in preventing oxidatively induced DNA damage. Our findings might contribute to the understanding of pathologies associated with DNA damage, oxidative stress, and/or defective antioxidant responses and improve our understanding of the effect of BSO in increasing the efficacy of anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
We have generated a strain of mice lacking two DNA N-glycosylases of base excision repair (BER), NTH1 and NEIL1, homologs of bacterial Nth (endonuclease three) and Nei (endonuclease eight). Although these enzymes remove several oxidized bases from DNA, they do not remove the well-known carcinogenic oxidation product of guanine: 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OH-Gua), which is removed by another DNA N-glycosylase, OGG1. The Nth1-/-Neil1-/- mice developed pulmonary and hepatocellular tumors in much higher incidence than either of the single knockouts, Nth1-/- and Neil1-/-. The pulmonary tumors contained, exclusively, activating GGT-->GAT transitions in codon 12 of K-ras of their DNA. Such transitions contrast sharply with the activating GGT-->GTT transversions in codon 12 of K-ras of the pathologically similar pulmonary tumors, which arose in mice lacking OGG1 and a second DNA N-glycosylase, MUTY. To characterize the biochemical phenotype of the knockout mice, the content of oxidative DNA base damage was analyzed from three tissues isolated from control, single and double knockout mice. The content of 8-OH-Gua was indistinguishable among all genotypes. In contrast, the content of 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua) derived from adenine and guanine, respectively, were increased in some but not all tissues of Neil1-/- and Neil1-/-Nth1-/- mice. The high incidence of tumors in our Nth1-/-Neil1-/- mice together with the nature of the activating mutation in the K-ras gene of their pulmonary tumors, reveal for the first time, the existence of mutagenic and carcinogenic oxidative damage to DNA which is not 8-OH-Gua.

Abstract
Formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg) and endonuclease VIII (Nei) share an overall common three-dimensional structure and primary amino acid sequence in conserved structural motifs but have different substrate specificities, with bacterial Fpg proteins recognizing formamidopyrimidines, 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) and its oxidation products guanidinohydantoin (Gh), and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and bacterial Nei proteins recognizing primarily damaged pyrimidines. In addition to bacteria, Fpg has also been found in plants, while Nei is sparsely distributed among the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Phylogenetic analysis of Fpg and Nei DNA glycosylases demonstrated, with 95% bootstrap support, a clade containing exclusively sequences from plants and fungi. Members of this clade exhibit sequence features closer to bacterial Fpg proteins than to any protein designated as Nei based on biochemical studies. The Candida albicans (Cal) Fpg DNA glycosylase and a previously studied Arabidopsis thaliana (Ath) Fpg DNA glycosylase were expressed, purified and characterized. In oligodeoxynucleotides, the preferred glycosylase substrates for both enzymes were Gh and Sp, the oxidation products of 8-oxoG, with the best substrate being a site of base loss. GC/MS analysis of bases released from gamma-irradiated DNA show FapyAde and FapyGua to be excellent substrates as well. Studies carried out with oligodeoxynucleotide substrates demonstrate that both enzymes discriminated against A opposite the base lesion, characteristic of Fpg glycosylases. Single turnover kinetics with oligodeoxynucleotides showed that the plant and fungal glycosylases were most active on Gh and Sp, less active on oxidized pyrimidines and exhibited very little or no activity on 8-oxoG. Surprisingly, the activity of AthFpg1 on an AP site opposite a G was extremely robust with a k(obs) of over 2500min(-1).

Abstract
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a premature aging condition characterized by sensitivity to UV radiation. However, this phenotype does not explain the progressive neurodegeneration in CS patients. It could be due to the hypersensitivity of CSB-deficient cells to oxidative stress. So far most studies on the role of CSB in repair of oxidatively induced DNA lesions have focused on 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine. This study examines the role of CSB in the repair of formamidopyrimidines 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua) and 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde), which are substrates for endonuclease VIII-like (NEIL1) DNA glycosylase. Results presented here show that csb(-/-) mice have a higher level of endogenous FapyAde and FapyGua in DNA from brain and kidney than wild type mice as well as higher levels of endogenous FapyAde in genomic DNA and mtDNA from liver. In addition, CSB stimulates NEIL1 incision activity in vitro, and CSB and NEIL1 co-immunoprecipitate and co-localize in HeLa cells. When CSB and NEIL1 are depleted from HeLa cells by short hairpin RNA knockdown, repair of induced FapyGua is strongly inhibited. These results suggest that CSB plays a role in repair of formamidopyrimidines, possibly by interacting with and stimulating NEIL1, and that accumulation of such modifications may have a causal role in the pathogenesis of CS.

Abstract
Formamidopyrimidines, 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua), are among major lesions in DNA generated by hydroxyl radical attack, UV radiation, or photosensitization in vitro and in vivo. FapyAde and FapyGua exist in living cells at detectable background levels and are formed by exposure of cells to DNA-damaging agents. Numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA glycosylases exist for the repair of formamidopyrimidines by base excision repair pathways in cells, indicating their biological significance. Moreover, they are premutagenic lesions, albeit to different extents, revealing a possible role in disease processes. Methodologies using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with capillary columns have been developed to accurately measure FapyAde and FapyGua in DNA in vitro and in vivo. Stable isotope-labeled analogues of these compounds have been synthesized and are commercially available to be used as internal standards for accurate quantification. GC/MS with isotope dilution provides excellent sensitivity and selectivity for positive identification and accurate quantification, and has widely been applied in the past to the measurement of formamidopyrimidines under numerous experimental conditions. This paper reports on the details of this GC/MS methodology.

Abstract
Oxidatively induced damage to DNA results in a plethora of lesions comprising modified bases and sugars, DNA-protein cross-links, tandem lesions, strand breaks, and clustered lesions. Formamidopyrimidines, 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyAde) and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua), are among the major lesions generated in DNA by hydroxyl radical attack, UV radiation, or photosensitization under numerous in vitro and in vivo conditions. They are formed by one-electron reduction of C8-OH-adduct radicals of purines and thus have a common precursor with 8-hydroxypurines generated upon one-electron oxidation. Methodologies using mass spectrometry exist to accurately measure FapyAde and FapyGua in vitro and in vivo. Formamidopyrimidines are repaired by base excision repair. Numerous prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA glycosylases are highly specific for removal of these lesions from DNA in the first step of this repair pathway, indicating their biological importance. FapyAde and FapyGua are bypassed by DNA polymerases with the insertion of the wrong intact base opposite them, leading to mutagenesis. In mammalian cells, the mutagenicity of FapyGua exceeds that of 8-hydroxyguanine, which is thought to be the most mutagenic of the oxidatively induced lesions in DNA. The background and formation levels of the former in vitro and in vivo equal or exceed those of the latter under various conditions. FapyAde and FapyGua exist in living cells at significant background levels and are abundantly generated upon exposure to oxidative stress. Mice lacking the genes that encode specific DNA glycosylases accumulate these lesions in different organs and, in some cases, exhibit a series of pathological conditions including metabolic syndrome and cancer. Animals exposed to environmental toxins accumulate formamidopyrimidines in their organs. Here, we extensively review the mechanisms of formation, measurement, repair, and biological effects of formamidopyrimidines that have been investigated in the past 50 years. Our goal is to emphasize the importance of these neglected lesions in many biological and disease processes.

Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder characterized by recurrent, inflammatory self-limited episodes of fever and other symptoms. This disease is caused by more than 25 mutations in the gene MEFV. During fever attacks, there is a substantial influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes into the affected tissues. Attack-free periods are accompanied by the up-regulation of neutrophil and monocyte phagocytic activity and oxidative burst. These facts led us to hypothesize that oxidative damage by free radicals to DNA may accumulate in FMF patients. To test this hypothesis, we investigated oxidative DNA damage in polymorphonuclear leukocytes of FMF patients during the attack-free period in comparison with FMF-free control individuals. DNA was isolated from polymorphonuclear leukocytes of 17 FMF patients and 10 control individuals. DNA samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to measure the levels of various typical oxidatively induced products of DNA. We show, for the first time, that FMF patients accumulate statistically significant levels of these lesions in their DNA when compared to FMF-free control individuals. This work suggests that the persistent oxidative stress with excess production of free radicals in FMF patients may lead to accumulation of oxidative DNA damage. Defective DNA repair may also contribute to this phenomenon, perhaps due to mutations in the MEFV gene. The accumulation of mutagenic and cytotoxic DNA lesions may contribute to increased mutations and apoptosis in FMF patients, thus to worsening of the disease and well-being of the patients. Future research should deal with prevention of oxidative DNA damage and apoptosis in FMF patients, and also the elucidation of a possible role of DNA repair in this disease.

Abstract
The 8,5'-cyclopurine-2'-deoxynucleosides (cPu) are unique oxidatively induced DNA lesions in that they are specifically repaired by NER. In the absence of NER, a possible mechanism for cPu removal is spontaneous glycosidic bond hydrolysis followed by enzymic processing. Such a mechanism could be significant if the glycosidic bond in cPu were substantially destabilized, as shown for other DNA lesions. Therefore, we investigated the stability of the glycosidic bond in a cPu, (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (S-cdA) against acid hydrolysis. For comparison, we also studied 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyadenosine (8-OH-dA). We found that the glycosidic bond in S-cdA is approximately 40-fold more resistant to glycosidic bond hydrolysis compared to dA. Interestingly, under the same conditions, the glycosidic bond in 8-OH-dA was even more stable than in S-cdA. These studies effectively rule out any mechanism for the removal of S-cdA or 8-OH-dA from DNA that requires spontaneous glycosidic bond hydrolysis, and further support the proposed role of cPu in the neurodegeneration observed in xeroderma pigmentosum patients who lack NER. Of broader significance, since NER does not function in non-transcribed DNA sequences of terminally differentiated cells, including neurons, cPu are expected to accumulate in such sequences even in individuals with normal NER, which could be important in the ageing process.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Although the causes of this disease are largely unknown, inefficient repair of oxidatively induced DNA lesions has been thought to play a major role in the transformation of normal breast tissue to malignant breast tissue. Previous studies have revealed higher levels of 8-hydroxyguanine in malignant breast tissue compared to non-malignant breast tissue. Furthermore, some breast cancer cell lines have greatly reduced capacity to repair this lesion suggesting that oxidatively induced DNA lesions may be elevated in breast cancer cells. We used liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to measure the levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyadenosine, (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine, and 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine in MCF-7 and HCC1937 breast cancer cell lines before and after exposure to H(2)O(2) followed by a DNA repair period. We show that H(2)O(2)-treated HCC1937 and MCF-7 cell lines accumulate significantly higher levels of these lesions than the untreated cells despite a 1 h repair period. In contrast, the four lesions did not accumulate to any significant level in H(2)O(2)-treated non-malignant cell lines, AG11134 and HCC1937BL. Furthermore, MCF-7 and HCC1937 cell lines were deficient in the excision repair of all the four lesions studied. These results suggest that oxidatively induced DNA damage and its repair may be critical in the etiology of breast cancer.

Abstract
In mammalian cells, the repair of DNA bases that have been damaged by reactive oxygen species is primarily initiated by a series of DNA glycosylases that include OGG1, NTH1, NEIL1, and NEIL2. To explore the functional significance of NEIL1, we recently reported that neil1 knock-out and heterozygotic mice develop the majority of symptoms of metabolic syndrome (Vartanian, V., Lowell, B., Minko, I. G., Wood, T. G., Ceci, J. D., George, S., Ballinger, S. W., Corless, C. L., McCullough, A. K., and Lloyd, R. S. (2006) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 103, 1864-1869). To determine whether this phenotype could be causally related to human disease susceptibility, we have characterized four polymorphic variants of human NEIL1. Although three of the variants (S82C, G83D, and D252N) retained near wild type levels of nicking activity on abasic (AP) site-containing DNA, G83D did not catalyze the wild type beta,delta-elimination reaction but primarily yielded the beta-elimination product. The AP nicking activity of the C136R variant was significantly reduced. Glycosylase nicking activities were measured on both thymine glycol-containing oligonucleotides and gamma-irradiated genomic DNA using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Two of the polymorphic variants (S82C and D252N) showed near wild type enzyme specificity and kinetics, whereas G83D was devoid of glycosylase activity. Although insufficient quantities of C136R could be obtained to carry out gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analyses, this variant was also devoid of the ability to incise thymine glycol-containing oligonucleotide, suggesting that it may also be glycosylase-deficient. Extrapolation of these data suggests that individuals who are heterozygous for these inactive variant neil1 alleles may be at increased risk for metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by severe growth, mental retardation and pronounced cachexia. CS is most frequently due to mutations in either of two genes, CSB and CSA. Evidence for a role of CSB protein in the repair of oxidative DNA damage has been provided recently. Here, we show that CSA is also involved in the response to oxidative stress. CS-A human primary fibroblasts and keratinocytes showed hypersensitivity to potassium bromate, a specific inducer of oxidative damage. This was associated with inefficient repair of oxidatively induced DNA lesions, namely 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) and (5'S)-8,5'-cyclo 2'-deoxyadenosine. Expression of the wild-type CSA in the CS-A cell line CS3BE significantly decreased the steady-state level of 8-OH-Gua and increased its repair rate following oxidant treatment. CS-A cell extracts showed normal 8-OH-Gua cleavage activity in an in vitro assay, whereas CS-B cell extracts were confirmed to be defective. Our data provide the first in vivo evidence that CSA protein contributes to prevent accumulation of various oxidized DNA bases and underline specific functions of CSB not shared with CSA. These findings support the hypothesis that defective repair of oxidative DNA damage is involved in the clinical features of CS patients.

Abstract
Mutations in breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 predispose women to a high risk of these cancers. Here, we show that lymphoblasts of women with BRCA1 mutations who had been diagnosed with breast cancer are deficient in the repair of some products of oxidative DNA damage, namely, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and 8,5'-cyclopurine-2'-deoxynucleosides. Cultured lymphoblasts from 10 individuals with BRCA1 mutations and those from 5 control individuals were exposed to 5 Gy of ionizing radiation to induce oxidative DNA damage and then allowed to repair this damage. DNA samples isolated from these cells were analyzed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to measure 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, (5'-S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine, (5'-R)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine, and (5'-S)-8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine. After irradiation and a subsequent period of repair, no significant accumulation of these lesions was observed in the DNA from control cells. In contrast, cells with BRCA1 mutations accumulated statistically significant levels of these lesions in their DNA, providing evidence of a deficiency in DNA repair. In addition, a commonly used breast tumor cell line exhibited the same effect when compared to a relevant control cell line. The data suggest that BRCA1 plays a role in cellular repair of oxidatively induced DNA lesions. The failure of cells with BRCA1 mutations to repair 8,5'-cyclopurine-2'-deoxynucleosides indicates the involvement of BRCA1 in nucleotide-excision repair of oxidative DNA damage. This work suggest that accumulation of these lesions may lead to a high rate of mutations and to deleterious changes in gene expression, increasing breast cancer risk and contributing to breast carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Base damage flanking a radiation-induced DNA double-strand break (DSB) may contribute to DSB complexity and affect break repair. However, to date, an isolated radiation-induced DSB has not been assessed for such structures at the molecular level. In this study, an authentic site-specific radiation-induced DSB was produced in plasmid DNA by triplex forming oligonucleotide-targeted (125)I decay. A restriction fragment terminated by the DSB was isolated and probed for base damage with the E. coli DNA repair enzymes endonuclease III and formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase. Our results demonstrate base damage clustering within 8 bases of the (125)I-targeted base in the DNA duplex. An increased yield of base damage (purine > pyrimidine) was observed for DSBs formed by irradiation in the absence of DMSO. An internal control fragment 1354 bp upstream from the targeted base was insensitive to enzymatic probing, indicating that the damage detected proximal to the DSB was produced by the (125)I decay that formed the DSB. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified three types of damaged bases in the approximately 32-bp region proximal to the DSB. These base lesions were 8-hydroxyguanine, 8-hydroxyadenine and 5-hydroxycytosine. Finally, evidence is presented for base damage >24 bp upstream from the (125)I-decay site that may form via a charge migration mechanism.

Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) C is involved in the recognition of a variety of bulky DNA-distorting lesions in nucleotide excision repair. Here, we show that XPC plays an unexpected and multifaceted role in cell protection from oxidative DNA damage. XP-C primary keratinocytes and fibroblasts are hypersensitive to the killing effects of DNA-oxidizing agents and this effect is reverted by expression of wild-type XPC. Upon oxidant exposure, XP-C primary keratinocytes and fibroblasts accumulate 8,5'-cyclopurine 2'-deoxynucleosides in their DNA, indicating that XPC is involved in their removal. In the absence of XPC, a decrease in the repair rate of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) is also observed. We demonstrate that XPC-HR23B complex acts as cofactor in base excision repair of 8-OH-Gua, by stimulating the activity of its specific DNA glycosylase OGG1. In vitro experiments suggest that the mechanism involved is a combination of increased loading and turnover of OGG1 by XPC-HR23B complex. The accumulation of endogenous oxidative DNA damage might contribute to increased skin cancer risk and account for internal cancers reported for XP-C patients.

Abstract
Reciprocal interactions between the stroma and epithelium are considered to be intimately associated with the development of breast cancer. In studies of whole breast tissues, a keen interest exists in the occurrence of the mutagenic DNA lesions 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyadenosine. However, there is an apparent lack of information on the presence of these lesions in the DNA of the stroma, epithelium, and myoepithelium, despite the fact that these oxidation products may significantly influence reciprocal interactions between these cell types implicated in carcinogenesis. We report age-related increases in concentrations of both lesions in the stromal DNA, which occur roughly commensurate with the known rise in breast cancer incidence between 30 and 40 years of age. However, no further increases in these concentrations occurred in the older women. Plots of lesion concentrations revealed an uneven distribution, with some younger women having relatively high concentrations and some older women having relatively low concentrations. This finding implies that while increased age is a probable factor in lesion accumulations, other factors may also be influential [e.g., cellular concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS)]. Distinct differences were found between the base and backbone structures of the stromal DNA from younger women (ages 17 - 30), compared to older women (ages 50 - 62). In addition, comparisons of matched stromal, epithelial, and myoepithelial DNA (from the same individual) showed no differences in DNA damage, suggesting a random attack by the hydroxyl radical on all three groups. Collectively, the findings imply that the structural changes in DNA described may potentially disrupt normal reciprocal interactions between the cell types, thus increasing breast cancer risk.

Abstract
Fish living in contaminated environments accumulate toxic chemicals in their tissues. Biomarkers are needed to identify the resulting health effects, particularly focusing on early changes at a subcellular level. We used a suite of complementary biomarkers to signal contaminant-induced changes in the DNA structure and cellular physiology of the livers and gills of English sole (Parophrys vetulus) . These sediment-dwelling fish were obtained from the industrialized lower Duwamish River (DR) in Seattle, Washington, and from Quartermaster Harbor (QMH) , a relatively clean reference site in south Puget Sound. Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) , and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) identified potentially deleterious alterations in the DNA structure of the DR fish livers and gills, compared with the QMH fish. Expression of CYP1A (a member of the cytochrome P450 multigene family of enzymes) signaled changes in the liver associated with the oxidation of organic xenobiotics, as previously found with the gill. The FT-IR models demonstrated that the liver DNA of the DR fish had a unique structure likely arising from exposure to environmental chemicals. Analysis by LC/MS and GC/MS showed higher concentrations of DNA base lesions in the liver DNA of the DR fish, suggesting that these base modifications contributed to this discrete DNA structure. A comparable analysis by LC/MS and GC/MS of base modifications provided similar results with the gill. The biomarkers described are highly promising for identifying contaminant-induced stresses in fish populations from polluted and reference sites and, in addition, for monitoring the progress of remedial actions.

Abstract
(5'S)-8,5'-Cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (S-cdA), which arises from the reaction of the hydroxyl radical (*OH) with 2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA, is a lesion comprising a base-sugar linkage that distorts the DNA backbone. This structure impedes transcription and blocks polymerase action. Further, a single S-cdA lesion in the TATA box reduces gene expression. Considering the ability of S-cdA to disrupt DNA structure, which is likely associated with increased cancer risk, we determined S-cdA concentrations in the DNA of stroma, epithelium, and myoepithelium from normal breast tissues using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). We also identified differences in the base and backbone structures using Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. LC/MS revealed that the lowest concentration of S-cdA in the stroma (0.04 +/- 0.02 lesions/10(6) bases) occurred in women ages 17 to 30. The highest concentration (0.13 +/- 0.07 lesions/10(6) bases) was found in women 33 to 46. FT-IR spectroscopy showed significant base and backbone differences in the stromal DNA between the women under 30 and those over 50. These findings imply that distortions in the geometry of the helix increase with age, reaching significant proportions in older women. No differences were found in the S-cdA concentrations between the three cell types, suggesting that the *OH attack on the base structure may be essentially random. Initial insight is provided on changes in DNA structure that potentially affect gene expression and increase breast cancer risk.
