Abstract
Oxidative stress is a ubiquitous cellular challenge implicated in aging, neurodegeneration, and cancer. By studying pathogenic mutations in the tumor suppressor BRCA2, we identify a general mechanism by which oxidative stress restricts mitochondrial (mt)DNA replication. BRCA2 inactivation induces R-loop accumulation in the mtDNA regulatory region and diminishes mtDNA replication initiation. In BRCA2-deficient cells, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are elevated, and ROS scavengers suppress the mtDNA defects. Conversely, wild-type cells exposed to oxidative stress by pharmacologic or genetic manipulation phenocopy these defects. Mechanistically, we find that 8-oxoguanine accumulation in mtDNA caused by oxidative stress suffices to impair recruitment of the mitochondrial enzyme RNaseH1 to sites of R-loop accrual, restricting mtDNA replication initiation. Thus, oxidative stress impairs RNaseH1 function to cripple mtDNA maintenance. Our findings highlight a molecular mechanism that links oxidative stress to mitochondrial dysfunction and is elicited by the inactivation of genes implicated in neurodegeneration and cancer. BRCA2-deficient cells accumulate mtDNA R-loops due to oxidative stress This stress creates 8-oxoguanine lesions impairing RNaseH1 recruitment to mtDNA RNaseH1 impairment triggers R-loop formation and restricts mtDNA replication Other sources of oxidative stress also cripple mtDNA maintenance via this mechanism

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uranium mining and processing are an ancient occupation, recognized as being grueling and accountable for injury and disease. Uranium (U) is a radioactive heavy metal used in many industrial applications. It increases the micronuclei frequencies as well as chromosomal aberration and sister chromatid exchange in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Granzyme B and perforin are stored inside the leukocytes in secretory granules. These proteins are released outside the cells by a cell-to-cell contact under specific conditions for inducing apoptosis. So, this study investigated the potential health hazards with prominence on the biological effects of radiation exposure. METHODS A cross-sectional analytic research was conducted on Egyptian male mining field workers. Leucocytes' genotoxicity was evaluated using DNA fragmentation assay and comet assay. Furthermore, flow cytometric analysis of Granzyme B protein was done. RESULTS A significant increase in dead cells after dual acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) fluorescent staining in radiation-exposed groups was noticed compared to control groups. Moreover, a significant increase in the fragmented DNA was evident in exposed groups relative to the control one. Granzyme B protein levels showed a significant increase concerning control. CONCLUSION A wide variety of adverse human health risks are considered a potential risk to Egyptian uranium miners. For employers working in both mining and processing fields, the most common molecular shift highlighted was the leucocyte damage in blood samples. To preserve the health of all employees, health education and administration of effective hazard management procedures are necessary.

Abstract
Melatonin is mainly secreted by the pineal gland, and it is also produced by various ocular structures such as the lens. It has been recently demonstrated that melatonin ocular synthesis can be induced by blocking the blue component of white light by means of filters. Melatonin exhibits antioxidant properties that can be useful to face light-induced oxidative stress as well as oxidative events associated to ocular pathologies like cataracts. Moreover, as oxidative stress is a main event in cataract development, changes in melatonin levels could happen and be relevant in the progression of this pathology, a subject that remains uncertain. The goal of this work was to analyze the ability of a short wavelength light blocking (yellow) filter to modulate endogenous melatonin concentration and the antioxidant and cytoprotective actions induced by yellow filter's use in lens. Furthermore, we evaluated the potential changes in aqueous humor melatonin concentration from patients with cataracts. In human lens epithelial cells, white light-emitting diode (LED) light challenge reduced melatonin secretion, protein levels of the enzymes involved in melatonin synthesis (hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase and unphosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase) and cell viability whereas increased reactive oxygen species production. Yellow filter exposure precluded melatonin secretion reduction and protected cells from oxidative damage. Consistent with cataract patient's results, significantly lower levels of melatonin were observed in aqueous humor of alloxan-induced diabetic cataract rabbits as compared to those of control rabbits. In contrast, aqueous humor melatonin levels of diabetic cataract animals maintaining in cages covered with a yellow filter resembled control values. This recovery seems to be mediated by the induction of melatonin biosynthetic enzymes protein expression. Yellow filter also preserved Nrf2 lens protein expression and superoxide dismutase protein levels and activity in diabetic animals. Modulation of endogenous ocular melatonin concentration using blocking filters might be a promising approach to prevent premature lens opacification.

Abstract
Although photo-driven advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been developed to treat wastewater, few studies have investigated the feasibility of AOPs to simultaneously remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and micropollutants (MPs). This study employed a modified photo-Fenton process using ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS) to chelate iron(III), thus maintaining the reaction pH in a neutral range. Simultaneous removal of ARB and associated extracellular (e-ARGs) and intracellular ARGs (i-ARGs), was assessed by bacterial cell culture, qPCR and atomic force microscopy. The removal of five MPs was also evaluated by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. A low dose comprising 0.1 mM Fe(III), 0.2 mM EDDS, and 0.3 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was found to be effective for decreasing ARB by 6-log within 30 min, and e-ARGs by 6-log within 10 min. No ARB regrowth occurred after 48-h, suggesting that the proposed process is an effective disinfectant against ARB. Moreover, five recalcitrant MPs (carbamazepine, diclofenac, sulfamethoxazole, mecoprop and benzotriazole at an initial concentration of 10 μg/L each) were >99% removed after 30 min treatment in ultrapure water. The modified photo-Fenton process was also validated using synthetic wastewater and real secondary wastewater effluent as matrices, and results suggest the dosage should be doubled to ensure equivalent removal performance. Collectively, this study demonstrated that the modified process is an optimistic 'one-stop' solution to simultaneously mitigate both chemical and biological hazards.

Abstract
Photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms (aPDI) is an excellent method to destroy antibiotic-resistant microbial isolates. The use of an exogenous photosensitizer or irradiation of microbial cells already equipped with endogenous photosensitizers makes aPDI a convenient tool for treating the infections whenever technical light delivery is possible. Currently, aPDI research carried out on a vast repertoire of depending on the photosensitizer used, the target microorganism, and the light delivery system shows efficacy mostly on in vitro models. The search for mechanisms underlying different responses to photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms is an essential issue in aPDI because one niche (e.g., infection site in a human body) may have bacterial subpopulations that will exhibit different susceptibility. Rapidly growing bacteria are probably more susceptible to aPDI than persister cells. Some subpopulations can produce more antioxidant enzymes or have better performance due to efficient efflux pumps. The ultimate goal was and still is to identify and characterize molecular features that drive the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation. To this end, we examined several genetic and biochemical characteristics, including the presence of individual genetic elements, protein activity, cell membrane content and its physical properties, the localization of the photosensitizer, with the result that some of them are important and others do not appear to play a crucial role in the process of aPDI. In the review, we would like to provide an overview of the factors studied so far in our group and others that contributed to the aPDI process at the cellular level. We want to challenge the question, is there a general pattern of molecular characterization of aPDI effectiveness? Or is it more likely that a photosensitizer-specific pattern of molecular characteristics of aPDI efficacy will occur?

Abstract
Ever since the "great oxidation event," Earth's cellular life forms had to cope with the danger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) affecting the integrity of biomolecules and hampering cellular metabolism circuits. Consequently, increasing ROS levels in the biosphere represented growing stress levels and thus shaped the evolution of species. Whether the ROS were produced endogenously or exogenously, different systems evolved to remove the ROS and repair the damage they inflicted. If ROS outweigh the cell's capacity to remove the threat, we speak of oxidative stress. The injuries through oxidative stress in cells are diverse. This article reviews the damage oxidative stress imposes on the different steps of the central dogma of molecular biology in bacteria, focusing in particular on the RNA machines involved in transcription and translation.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an effective tumor treatment strategy in which FeII reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) in tumor cells to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radical (. OH) through the Fenton reaction. However, the content of endogenous H2 O2 in cells is limited, and the reaction between FeIII and H2 O2 is inefficient, greatly limiting the efficiency of the Fenton reaction and reducing the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Therefore, in this work, we designed and synthesized a new type of nano-system (CaO2 @TA-FeIII ) for the enhanced CDT of tumors, in which the polyphenolic compound- tannic acid (TA) and FeIII formed a TA-Fe nano-coating on the surface of calcium peroxide (CaO2 ) nanospherical aggregates. When the CaO2 @TA-FeIII nanoconjugates reach the tumor site, the CaO2 contained in the nanoconjugates produces H2 O2 after disintegration in tumor cells, and the carried TA rapidly reduces FeIII to FeII , solving the two major shortcomings in CDT of (1) insufficient content of H2 O2 in cancer cells, and (2) low catalytic efficiency of the Fenton reaction. Additionally, the . OH produced in the Fenton reaction induces oxidative stress for the tumor cells, promoting the occurrence of the "calcium overload" process, and thereby accelerating the death of tumor cells. Experimental results in vitro and in vivo showed that CaO2 @TA-FeIII nanoconjugates can effectively kill cancer cells and display an excellent tumor therapeutic effect. We believe that the CaO2 @TA-FeIII nanoconjugates are a promising new nano-platform for highly effective tumor treatment.

Abstract
Compared with normal cells, cancer cells often have an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. This high level of ROS allows the activation of different pathways essential for cellular transformation and tumorigenesis development. Increase of ROS can be due to increase of production or decrease of detoxification, both situations being well described in various cancers. Oxidative stress is involved at every step of cancer development from the initiation to the metastasis. How ROS arise is still a matter of debates and may vary with tissues, cell types or other conditions and may happen following a large diversity of mechanisms. Both oncogenic and tumor suppressor mutations can lead to an increase of ROS. In this chapter, I review how ROS are produced and detoxified and how ROS can damage DNA leading to the genomic instability featured in cancers.

Abstract
Nanozymes are emerging as a promising strategy for the treatment of tumors. Herein, to cope with the tumor microenvironment (TME), weak acidity (pH 5.6 to 6.8) and trace amounts of overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (100 µM-1 mM), we report nitrogen-doped graphene nanomaterials (N-GNMs), which act as highly efficient catalytic peroxidase (POD)-mimicking nanozymes in the TME for tumor-specific treatment. N-GNMs exhibit POD catalytic properties triggered by a weakly acidic TME and convert H2O2 into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) thus causing the death of tumor cells while in the neutral pH surroundings of normal tissues, such catalysis is restrained and leaves normal cells undamaged thereby achieving a tumor-specific treatment. N-GNMs also display a high catalytic activity and can respond to the trace endogenous H2O2 in the TME resulting in a high efficiency of tumor therapy. Our in vitro chemical and cell experiments illustrated the POD-like activity of N-GNMs and in vivo tumor model experiments confirmed the significant inhibitory effect of N-GNMs on tumor growth.

Abstract
Adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD), a condition characterized by increased oxidative stress, is related to augmented cardiovascular, metabolic and oncological risk. A case-control observational study has been performed to evaluate DNA oxidative damage analysing the production of thymidine-glycol in lymphocytes and its correlation with plasma antioxidant levels, evaluated as Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC). GHD was diagnosed using GHRH 50μg iv+arginine 0,5 g/Kg test, with peak GH response <9 μg/L when BMI was <30 kg/m2 or <4 μg/L when BMI was >30 kg/m2. Three groups were identified: total GHD (n = 16), partial GHD (n = 11), and controls (n = 12). Thymidine-glycol, TAC and IGF-1 have been determined respectively in lymphocytes, plasma and serum samples. When considering thymidine-glycol, we found a significant difference between total vs partial GHD and controls. Unexpectedly thymidine-glycol was lower in total GHD, also accompanied with a significant increase in plasmatic TAC. Our results showed that in adult GHD condition, the production of antioxidant species, in response to increased oxidative stress, could exert a protective effect on thymidine-glycol formation, and consequently on DNA intracellular damages. This pilot study could be inserted in the complex scenario of oxidative damage of GHD, a subtle, yet poorly defined condition, worthy of further insights.

Compromised base excision repair pathway in Mycobacterium tuberculosis imparts superior adaptability in the host. PLoS Pathog 2021; 17:e1009452. [PMID: 33740020 PMCID: PMC8011731 DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1009452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a significant public health concern, exacerbated by the emergence of drug-resistant TB. To combat the host’s dynamic environment, Mtb encodes multiple DNA repair enzymes that play a critical role in maintaining genomic integrity. Mtb possesses a GC-rich genome, rendering it highly susceptible to cytosine deaminations, resulting in the occurrence of uracils in the DNA. UDGs encoded by ung and udgB initiate the repair; hence we investigated the biological impact of deleting UDGs in the adaptation of pathogen. We generated gene replacement mutants of uracil DNA glycosylases, individually (RvΔung, RvΔudgB) or together (RvΔdKO). The double KO mutant, RvΔdKO exhibited remarkably higher spontaneous mutation rate, in the presence of antibiotics. Interestingly, RvΔdKO showed higher survival rates in guinea pigs and accumulated large number of SNPs as revealed by whole-genome sequence analysis. Competition assays revealed the superior fitness of RvΔdKO over Rv, both in ex vivo and in vivo conditions. We propose that compromised DNA repair results in the accumulation of mutations, and a subset of these drives adaptation in the host. Importantly, this property allowed us to utilize RvΔdKO for the facile identification of drug targets. Mutation in the genome of bacteria contributes to the acquisition of drug resistance. Mutations in bacteria can arise due to exposures to antibiotics, oxidative, reductive, and many other stresses that bacteria encounter in the host. Mtb has multiple DNA repair mechanisms, including a base excision repair pathway to restore the damaged genome. Here we set out to determine the impact of deleting the Uracil DNA base excision pathway on pathogen adaptability to both antibiotic and host induced stresses. Combinatorial mutant of Mtb UDGs showed higher spontaneous rates of mutations when subjected to antibiotic stress and showed higher survival levels in the guinea pig model of infection. Whole-genome sequence analysis showed significant accumulation of SNPs, suggesting that mutations providing survival advantage may have been positively selected. We also showed that double mutant of Mtb UDGs would be an excellent means to identify antibiotic targets in the bacteria. Competition experiments wherein we pitted wild type and double mutant against each other demonstrated that double mutant has a decisive edge over the wild type. Together, data suggest that the absence of a base excision repair pathway leads to higher mutations and provides a survival advantage under stress. They could be an invaluable tool for identifying targets of new antibiotics.

[PMID: 33727039 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2021.108830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a bifunctional enzyme with multi-substrate peroxidase and phospholipase activities that is involved in cell redox homeostasis and regulates intracellular processes. Previously, recombinant Prdx6 was shown to exert a radioprotective effect during whole-body exposure to a lethal dose of X-ray radiation. Moreover, a mutant form Prdx6-C47S, which lacks peroxidase activity, also had a radioprotective effect, and this indicates that the mechanism of radioprotection is unknown. The present study was aimed to test the hypothesis that the radioprotective effect of Prdx6 and Prdx6-C47S may be mediated through the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. It was demonstrated that exogenously applied Prdx6 protected 3T3 fibroblast cells against LD50 X-ray radiation in vitro. Pretreatment with Prdx6 increased cell survival, stimulated proliferation, normalized the level of reactive oxygen species in culture, and suppressed apoptosis and necrosis. Wild-type Prdx6 and, to a lesser degree, the Prdx6-C47S mutant proteins promoted a significant increase in NF-κB activation in irradiated cells, which likely contributes to the antiapoptotic effect. Pretreatment with TLR4 inhibitors, especially those directed to the extracellular part of the receptor, significantly reduced the radioprotective effect, and this supports the role of TLR4 signaling in the protective effects of Prdx6. Therefore, the radioprotective effect of Prdx6 was related not only to its antioxidant properties, but also to its ability to trigger cellular defense mechanisms through interaction with the TLR4 receptor and subsequent activation of the NF-κB pathway. Recombinant Prdx6 may be useful for the development of a new class of safe radioprotective compounds that have a combination of antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
The present work reveals zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) obtained via green synthesis approach utilizing phytochemicals present in the Leea asiatica plant. The synthesized ZnO NRs was confirmed by various characterization methods like X-ray diffraction, FTIR, SEM-EDX, UV-vis, TEM and Raman spectra analysis. The obtained nanorods show less particle size with a distinctive high surface area. The photodegradation activity of obtained ZnO NRs shows 81.3 % of dye degradation at high concentration whereas 42.9 % in low concentration and also antioxidant test shows a better result for free radical scavenging. To understand the safety of the ZnO NRs zebrafish embryos was utilized as a model and found to be less toxic after assessment. Furthermore, to understand the anticancer activity of ZnO NRs it was assessed against breast cancer cell line through MTT, XTT, NRU, and LDH assay. The ZnO NRs exposed against breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) had resulted in necrosis and apoptosis which was further confirmed by genotoxicity assay. Also, the molecular mechanisms behind the necrosis and apoptosis are also discussed to show the involvement of ZnO NRs towards breast cancer cells (MCF-7). The present study on ZnO NRs gives a wide spectrum understanding of using ZnO NRs as a potential drug for human breast cancer by showing its physiological pathways as well as a novel way to synthesize ZnO NRs using Leea asiatica plant extract.

Abstract
Nowadays, it is well accepted that inflammation is a critical player in cancer, being, in most cases, the main character of the process. Different types of tumor arise from sites of infection or chronic inflammation. This non-resolving inflammation is responsible for tumor development at different levels: it promotes tumor initiation, as well as tumor progression, stimulating both tumor growth and metastasis. Environmental factors, lifestyle and infections are the three main triggers of chronic immune activation that promote or increase the risk of many different cancers. In this review, we focus our attention on tumor onset; in particular, we summarize the knowledge about the cause and the mechanisms behind the inflammation-driven cancer development.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (HO•) is the most reactive toward DNA among the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in aerobic organisms by cellular metabolisms. HO• is generated also by exogenous sources such as ionizing radiations. In this review we focus on the purine DNA damage by HO• radicals. In particular, emphasis is given on mechanistic aspects for the various lesion formation and their interconnections. Although the majority of the purine DNA lesions like 8-oxo-purine (8-oxo-Pu) are generated by various ROS (including HO•), the formation of 5',8-cyclopurine (cPu) lesions in vitro and in vivo relies exclusively on the HO• attack. Methodologies generally utilized for the purine lesions quantification in biological samples are reported and critically discussed. Recent results on cPu and 8-oxo-Pu lesions quantification in various types of biological specimens associated with the cellular repair efficiency as well as with distinct pathologies are presented, providing some insights on their biological significance.

Abstract
Human genome stability requires efficient repair of oxidized bases, which is initiated via damage recognition and excision by NEIL1 and other base excision repair (BER) pathway DNA glycosylases (DGs). However, the biological mechanisms underlying detection of damaged bases among the million-fold excess of undamaged bases remain enigmatic. Indeed, mutation rates vary greatly within individual genomes, and lesion recognition by purified DGs in the chromatin context is inefficient. Employing super-resolution microscopy and co-immunoprecipitation assays, we find that acetylated NEIL1 (AcNEIL1), but not its non-acetylated form, is predominantly localized in the nucleus in association with epigenetic marks of uncondensed chromatin. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) revealed non-random AcNEIL1 binding near transcription start sites of weakly transcribed genes and along highly transcribed chromatin domains. Bioinformatic analyses revealed a striking correspondence between AcNEIL1 occupancy along the genome and mutation rates, with AcNEIL1-occupied sites exhibiting fewer mutations compared to AcNEIL1-free domains, both in cancer genomes and in population variation. Intriguingly, from the evolutionarily conserved unstructured domain that targets NEIL1 to open chromatin, its damage surveillance of highly oxidation-susceptible sites to preserve essential gene function and to limit instability and cancer likely originated ∼500 million years ago during the buildup of free atmospheric oxygen.

Abstract
Introduction Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are applied as the therapeutic agents, e.g., in the tumor radiation therapy. Purpose of the Study To evaluate the human adipose MSC early response to low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR). Materials and Methods We investigated different LDIR (3, 10, and 50 cGy) effects on reactive oxygen species production, DNA oxidation (marker 8-oxodG), and DNA breaks (marker ɣ H2AX) in the two lines of human adipose MSC. Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and fluorescence microscopy, we determined expression of genes involved in the oxidative stress development (NOX4), antioxidative response (NRF2), antiapoptotic and proapoptotic response (BCL2, BCL2A1, BCL2L1, BIRC2, BIRC3, and BAX1), in the development of the nuclear DNA damage response (DDR) (BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and P53). Cell cycle changes were investigated by genes transcription changes (CCND1, CDKN2A, and CDKN1A) and using proliferation markers KI-67 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Results Fifteen to 120 min after exposure to LDIR in MSCs, transient oxidative stress and apoptosis of the most damaged cells against the background of the cell cycle arrest were induced. Simultaneously, DDR and an antiapoptotic response were found in other cells of the population. The 10-cGy dose causes the strongest and fastest DDR following cell nuclei DNA damage. The 3-cGy dose induces a less noticeable and prolonged response. The maximal low range dose, 50 cGy, causes a damaging effect on the MSCs. Conclusion Transient oxidative stress and the death of a small fraction of the damaged cells are essential components of the MSC population response to LDIR along with the development of DDR and antiapoptotic response. A scheme describing the early MSC response to LDIR is proposed.

Abstract
Photoactivatable diazidodihydroxido Pt(iv) complex trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (1; py = pyridine) is a promising anticancer agent which can be activated by visible light to induce cancer cell death. DNA has been thought to be involved in the mechanism of action of this kind of Pt(iv) prodrug. However, the detailed photodecomposition pathways of complex 1 and its interaction modes with DNA are complex. Herein we report that upon light irradiation complex 1 can bind to all four nucleosides covalently with the reduced Pt(ii) species. Moreover, apart from the covalent coordination, various oxidation adducts of these four nucleosides induced by the reactive oxidative species (ROS) generated during the photoactivation of the complex 1 have also been identified, especially the induced oxidation of adenosine and cytidine which was firstly reported for this kind of photoactivatable Pt(iv) prodrug. Such dual-action may contribute to the highly potent photo-antiproliferativity of complex 1 towards cancer cells, which may account for the unique mechanism of action of the photoactivatable diazido Pt(iv) anticancer complexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of tube voltage on image quality in coronary CT angiography (CCTA), the estimated radiation dose, and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in peripheral blood lymphocytes to optimize the use of CCTA in the era of low radiation doses. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 240 patients who were divided into 2 groups according to the DNA DSB analysis methods, i.e., immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Each group was subdivided into 4 subgroups: those receiving CCTA only with different tube voltages of 120, 100, 80, or 70 kVp. Objective and subjective image quality was evaluated by analysis of variance. Radiation dosages were also recorded and compared. RESULTS There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics between the 2 groups and 4 subgroups in each group (all p > 0.05). As tube voltage decreased, both image quality and radiation dose decreased gradually and significantly. After CCTA, γ-H2AX foci and mean fluorescence intensity in the 120-, 100-, 80-, and 70-kVp groups increased by 0.14, 0.09, 0.07, and 0.06 foci per cell and 21.26, 9.13, 8.10, and 7.13 (all p < 0.05), respectively. The increase in the DNA DSB level in the 120-kVp group was higher than those in the other 3 groups (all p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in the DSBs levels among these latter groups (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The 100-kVp tube voltage may be optimal for CCTA when weighing DNA DSBs against the estimated radiation dose and image quality, with further reductions in tube voltage being unnecessary for CCTA.

Abstract
Various therapeutic techniques have been studied for treating cancer precisely and effectively, such as targeted drug delivery, phototherapy, tumor-specific catalytic therapy, and synergistic therapy, which, however, evoke numerous challenges due to the inherent limitations of these therapeutic modalities and intricate biological circumstances as well. With the remarkable advances of nanotechnology, nanoplatform-based cascade engineering, as an efficient and booming strategy, has been tactfully introduced to optimize these cancer therapies. Based on the designed nanoplatforms, pre-supposed cascade processes could be triggered under specific conditions to generate/deliver more therapeutic species or produce stronger tumoricidal effects inside tumors, aiming to achieve cancer therapy with increased anti-tumor efficacy and diminished side effects. In this review, the recent advances in nanoplatform-based cascade engineering for cancer therapy are summarized and discussed, with an emphasis on the design of smart nanoplatforms with unique structures, compositions and properties, and the implementation of specific cascade processes by means of endogenous tumor microenvironment (TME) resources and/or exogenous energy inputs. This fascinating strategy presents unprecedented potential in the enhancement of cancer therapies, and offers better controllability, specificity and effectiveness of therapeutic functions compared to the corresponding single components/functions. In the end, challenges and prospects of such a burgeoning strategy in the field of cancer therapy will be discussed, hopefully to facilitate its further development to meet the personalized treatment demands.

Abstract
The protective ozone layer is continually depleting due to the release of deteriorating environmental pollutants. The diminished ozone layer contributes to excessive exposure of cells to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This leads to various cellular responses utilized to restore the homeostasis of exposed cells. DNA is the primary chromophore of the cells that absorbs sunlight energy. Exposure of genomic DNA to UV light leads to the formation of multitude of types of damage (depending on wavelength and exposure time) that are removed by effectively working repair pathways. The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge considering cellular response to UV radiation with special focus on DNA damage and repair and to give a comprehensive insight for new researchers in this field. We also highlight most important future prospects considering application of the progressing knowledge of UV response for the clinical control of diverse pathologies.

Abstract
Redox homeostasis is regulated by critical molecules that modulate antioxidant and redox signaling (ARS) within the cell. Imbalances among these molecules can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cell functions, causing a variety of diseases. Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1), also known as SMARCA4, is the central ATPase catalytic subunit of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex, which plays a core role in DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcriptional regulation. Numerous recent studies show that BRG1 is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes associated with ARS. BRG1, as a major factor in chromatin remodeling, is essential for the repair of oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and the activation of antioxidant genes under oxidative stress. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of the roles of BRG1 in redox homeostasis is crucial to understand the normal functioning as well as pathological mechanisms. In this review, we summarized and discussed the role of BRG1 in the regulation of ARS.

Abstract
Nitrosamine metabolites resulting from cigarette smoking and E-cigarette (E-cig) vaping cause DNA damage that can lead to genotoxicity. While DNA adducts of metabolites of nitrosamines 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) are well-known tobacco-related cancer biomarkers, only a few studies implicate NNN and NNK in DNA oxidation in humans. NNK and NNN were found in the urine of E-cigarette users who never smoked cigarettes. This paper proposes the first chemical pathways of DNA oxidation driven by NNK and NNN metabolites in redox reactions with Cu2+ and NADPH leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS). A microfluidic array with thin films of DNA and metabolic enzymes that make metabolites of NNN and NNK in the presence of Cu2+ and NADPH was used to estimate relative rates of DNA oxidation. Detection by electrochemiluminescence (ECL) employed a new ECL dye [Os(tpy-benz-COOH)2]2+ that is selective for and sensitive to the primary DNA oxidation product 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in DNA. Enzyme-DNA films on magnetic beads were used to produce nitrosamine metabolites that enter ROS-forming redox cycles with Cu2+ and NADPH, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to quantify 8-oxodG and identify metabolites. ROS were detected by optical sensors. Metabolites of NNK and NNN + Cu2+ + NADPH generated relatively high rates of DNA oxidation. Lung is the exposure route in smoking and vaping, human lung tissue contains Cu2+ and NADPH, and lung microsomal enzymes gave the highest rates of DNA oxidation in this study. Also, E-cigarette vapor contains 6-fold more copper than that in cigarette smoke, which could exacerbate DNA oxidation.

Abstract
Mechanistic details of hydroxyl radical (•OH) mediated oxidations of 2-aminopurine (2AP) in the aqueous phase have been established in this study via a combination of DFT calculations (at the M05-2X/6-311+G(d,p) level with SMD solvation) and sonochemical end product analyses by the LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS method. Rate constants and branching ratios for single electron transfer (SET), two H-abstractions (HA), and seven radical adduct formation (RAF) reactions of •OH with 2AP were evaluated using transition state theory (TST). The RAF at the C8-position of 2AP is noted as the dominant process, which constitutes almost 46.1% of overall reaction routes. The SET mechanism accounts for the second major pathway (39.6%) followed by RAF at the C6-position (14.3%). Formations of 14 transformation products (TPs, i.e., the nonradical end products) in the sonochemical reactions of •OH with 2AP have been identified by means of the LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technique. Among the 14 TPs (designated as TP1 to TP14), the lowest and highest mass to charge ratio (m/z) were respectively observed at 129 and 269 in ESI-MS positive ionization mode. The identities of all TPs have been proposed on the basis of elemental composition of [M + H]+ ions and their respective MS-MS fragmentation pattern. Four TPs (including guanine) are considered as obtained directly from primary transients by radical elimination, radical-radical combination/disproportionation reactions. The remaining 10 TPs are postulated as a result of successive self- and/or cross-reactions of primary transients/four first generation TPs with reagents such as •OH, O2, and solvent H2O molecules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are by-products of normal cellular metabolic processes, such as mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. While low levels of ROS are important signalling molecules, high levels of ROS can damage proteins, lipids and DNA. Indeed, oxidative DNA damage is the most frequent type of damage in the mammalian genome and is linked to human pathologies such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Although oxidative DNA damage is cleared predominantly through the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway, recent evidence suggests that additional pathways such as Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) and Mismatch Repair (MMR) can also participate in clearance of these lesions. One of the most common forms of oxidative DNA damage is the base damage 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), which if left unrepaired may result in G:C to A:T transversions during replication, a common mutagenic feature that can lead to cellular transformation. OBJECTIVE Repair of oxidative DNA damage, including 8-oxoG base damage, involves the functional interplay between a number of proteins in a series of enzymatic reactions. This review describes the role and the redox regulation of key proteins involved in the initial stages of BER of 8-oxoG damage, namely Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endonuclease 1 (APE1), human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (hOGG1) and human single-stranded DNA binding protein 1 (hSSB1). Moreover, the therapeutic potential and modalities of targeting these key proteins in cancer are discussed. CONCLUSION It is becoming increasingly apparent that some DNA repair proteins function in multiple repair pathways. Inhibiting these factors would provide attractive strategies for the development of more effective cancer therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiation exposure of tissues is associated with inflammatory cell influx. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an enzyme expressed in granulocytes, such as neutrophils (PMN) and macrophages, responsible for active chlorine species (ACS) generation. The present study aimed to: 1) determine whether exposure to γ-irradiation induces MPO-dependent ACS generation in murine PMN; 2) elucidate the mechanism of radiation-induced ACS generation; and 3) evaluate the effect of the synthetic lignan LGM2605, known for ACS scavenging properties. METHODS MPO-dependent ACS generation was determined by using hypochlorite-specific 3'-(p-aminophenyl) fluorescein (APF) and a highly potent MPO inhibitor, 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (ABAH), and confirmed in PMN derived from MPO-/- mice. Radiation-induced MPO activation was determined by EPR spectroscopy and computational analysis identified tyrosine, serine, and threonine residues near MPO's active site. RESULTS γ-radiation increased MPO-dependent ACS generation dose-dependently in human MPO and in wild-type murine PMN, but not in PMN from MPO-/- mice. LGM2605 decreased radiation-induced, MPO-dependent ACS. Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) and protein serine/threonine phosphatase (PSTP) inhibitors decreased the radiation-induced increase in ACS. Peroxidase cycle results demonstrate that tyrosine phosphorylation blocks MPO Compound I formation by preventing catalysis on H2O2 in the active site of MPO. EPR data demonstrate that γ-radiation increased tyrosyl radical species formation in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that γ-radiation induces MPO-dependent generation of ACS, which is dependent, at least in part, by protein tyrosine and Ser/Thr dephosphorylation and is reduced by LGM2605. This study identified for the first time a novel protein dephosphorylation-dependent mechanism of radiation-induced MPO activation.

Abstract
Keratinocytes and melanocytes, two cutaneous cell types located within the epidermis, are the origin of most skin cancers, namely carcinomas and melanomas. These two types of tumors differ in many ways. First, carcinomas are almost 10 times more frequent than melanomas. In addition, the affected cellular pathways, the mutated genes and the metastatic properties of the tumors are not the same. This review addresses another specificity of melanomas: the role of photo-oxidative stress. UVA efficiently produces reactive oxygen species in melanocytes, which results in more frequent oxidatively generated DNA lesions than in other cell types. The question of the respective contribution of UVB-induced pyrimidine dimers and UVA-mediated oxidatively generated lesions to mutagenesis in melanoma remains open. Recent results based on next-generation sequencing techniques strongly suggest that the mutational signature associated with pyrimidine dimers is overwhelming in melanomas like in skin carcinomas. UVA-induced oxidative stress may yet be indirectly linked to the genotoxic pathways involved in melanoma through its ability to hamper DNA repair activities.

Abstract
Acrolein (2-propenal) is an environmental pollutant, food contaminant, and endogenous toxic by-product formed in the thermal decomposition and peroxidation of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Like other α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, acrolein undergoes Michael addition of nucleophiles such as basic amino acids residues of proteins and nucleobases, triggering aging associated disorders. Here, we show that acrolein is also a potential target of the potent biological oxidant, nitrosating and nitrating agent peroxynitrite. In vitro studies revealed the occurrence of 1,4-addition of peroxynitrite (k2 = 6 × 103 M-1 s-1, pH 7.2, 25 °C) to acrolein in air-equilibrated phosphate buffer. This is attested by acrolein concentration-dependent oxygen uptake, peroxynitrite consumption, and generation of formaldehyde and glyoxal as final products. These products are predicted to be originated from the Russell termination of •OOCH=CH(OH) radical which also includes molecular oxygen at the singlet delta state (O21Δg). Accordingly, EPR spin trapping studies with the 2,6-nitrosobenzene-4-sulfonate ion (DBNBS) revealed a 6-line spectrum attributable to the 2-hydroxyvinyl radical adduct. Singlet oxygen was identified by its characteristic monomolecular IR emission at 1,270 nm in deuterated buffer, which was expectedly quenched upon addition of water and sodium azide. These data represent the first report on singlet oxygen creation from a vinylperoxyl radical, previously reported for alkyl- and formylperoxyl radicals, and may contribute to better understand the adverse acrolein behavior in vivo.

Abstract
8‐Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase1 (OGG1)‐initiated base excision repair (BER) is the primary pathway to remove the pre‐mutagenic 8‐oxo‐7,8‐dihydroguanine (8‐oxoG) from DNA. Recent studies documented 8‐oxoG serves as an epigenetic‐like mark and OGG1 modulates gene expression in oxidatively stressed cells. For this new role of OGG1, two distinct mechanisms have been proposed: one is coupled to base excision, while the other only requires substrate binding of OGG1––both resulting in conformational adjustment in the adjacent DNA sequences providing access for transcription factors to their cis‐elements. The present study aimed to examine if BER activity of OGG1 is required for pro‐inflammatory gene expression. To this end, Ogg1/OGG1 knockout/depleted cells were transfected with constructs expressing wild‐type (wt) and repair‐deficient mutants of OGG1. OGG1's promoter enrichment, oxidative state, and gene expression were examined. Results showed that TNFα exposure increased levels of oxidatively modified cysteine(s) of wt OGG1 without impairing its association with promoter and facilitated gene expression. The excision deficient K249Q mutant was even a more potent activator of gene expression; whereas, mutant OGG1 with impaired substrate recognition/binding was not. These data suggested the interaction of OGG1 with its substrate at regulatory regions followed by conformational adjustment in the adjacent DNA is the primary mode to modulate inflammatory gene expression.

Abstract
1-nitropyrene (1-NP) is a key component of diesel exhaust-sourced fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Our recent study demonstrated that gestational 1-NP exposure caused placental proliferation inhibition and fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This study aimed to investigate the role of genotoxic stress on 1-NP-induced placental proliferation inhibition and fetal IUGR. Human trophoblasts were exposed to 1-NP (10 μM). Growth index was reduced and PCNA was downregulated in 1-NP-exposed placental trophoblasts. More than 90% of 1-NP-exposed trophoblasts were arrested in either G0/G1 or G2/M phases. CDK1 and cyclin B, two G2/M cycle-related proteins, and CDK2, a G0/G1 cycle-related protein, were reduced in 1-NP-exposed trophoblasts. Phosphorylated Rb, a downstream molecule of CDK2, was inhibited in 1-NP-exposed trophoblasts. Moreover, DNA double-strand break was observed and γ-H2AX, another indicator of DNA double-strand break, was upregulated in 1-NP-exposed trophoblasts. Phosphorylated ATM, a key molecule of genotoxic stress, and its downstream molecule Chk2 were elevated. By contrast, Cdc25A, a downstream target of Chk2, was reduced in 1-NP-exposed trophoblasts. Phenyl-N-t-butylnitrone (PBN), a free radical scavenger, inhibited 1-NP-induced genotoxic stress and trophoblast cycle arrest. Animal experiment showed that N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant, rescued 1-NP-induced placental proliferation inhibition and fetal IUGR in mice. These results provide evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cellular genotoxic stress partially contributes to 1-NP-induced placental proliferation inhibition and fetal IUGR.

Abstract
Light is a key environmental parameter known to influence fish throughout various stages of their life, from embryonic development to sexually mature adults. In a recent study, the effects of different light conditions on the growth of Dicentrarchus labrax larvae were investigated using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a light source. Here, pathological examinations were carried out to assess whether variations in light affected the visual system of the larvae, including any negative impacts on the retina or the growth rate. Although light did not affect the total thickness (TT) of the retina, the thickness of the retinal pigment epithelium layer (PRE), photoreceptor layer (PRos/is), outer nuclear layer (ONL), and inner nuclear layer (INL), and the PRE/TT and ONL/TT ratios were all significantly higher in larvae exposed to blue light than in larvae exposed to white light. Additionally, the thickness of PRE and the outer nuclear layer and the RPE/TT and ONL/TT ratios of larvae exposed to 2.0 W m-2 were significantly lower than in larvae exposed to 0.3 W m-2. By contrast, the INL/TT ratio in larvae exposed to 2.0 W m-2 was significantly higher than in larvae exposed to 0.3 W m-2. Additionally, the INL and ganglion cell layer nuclei density of larvae exposed to 2.0 W m-2 were significantly higher than in those exposed to 0.3 W m-2 (p < 0.05). Transmission electron microscopy revealed different levels of abnormalities in the photoreceptor layers in all treatment groups. Considering the growth of the larvae, the results of the study suggest that continuous LED exposure induced damage to photoreceptor cells but was not relevant to the growth performance of D. labrax larvae. Moreover, the results obtained here also support the high plasticity of retinal development in response to altered environmental light conditions.

Abstract
The growing clinical and epidemiological significance of gestational diabetes mellitus results from its constantly increasing worldwide prevalence, obesity, and overall unhealthy lifestyle among women of childbearing age. Oxidative stress seems to be the most important predictor of gestational diabetes mellitus development. Disturbances in the cell caused by oxidative stress lead to different changes in biomolecules, including DNA. The nucleobase which is most susceptible to oxidative stress is guanine. Its damage results in two main modifications: 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosineor 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine. Their significant level can indicate pathological processes during pregnancy, like gestational diabetes mellitus and probably, type 2 diabetes mellitus after pregnancy. This review provides an overview of current knowledge on the use of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosineand/or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine as a biomarker in gestational diabetes mellitus and allows us to understand the mechanism of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosineand/or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine generation during this disease.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) accumulation in rice is a principal route of As exposure for rice based population. We have tested physiochemical and molecular parameters together to identify low As accumulating rice cultivars with normal growth and vigor. The present study examined potential toxicity caused by arsenate (AsV) among four rice cultivars tested that varied with respect to accumulation of total arsenic, arsenite (AsIII) and their differential translocation rate which had deleterious impact on growth and metabolism. Intracellular homeostasis of rice cultivars viz., TN-1, IR-64, IR-20 and Tulaipanji was hampered by 21 days long As(V) treatment due to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inadequate activity of catalase (CAT; EC 1.11.1.6). Upregulation of oxidative stress markers viz., H2O2, proline and MDA along with alteration in enzymatic antioxidants profile were conspicuously pronounced in cv. Tulaipanji while cv. TN-1 was least affected under As(V) challenged environment. In addition to that genomic template stability and band sharing indices were qualitatively measured by DNA profiling of all tested cultivars treated with 25 μM, 50 μM, and 75 μM As(V). In rice cv. Tulaipanji genetic polymorphism was significantly detected with the application of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) tool and characterized as susceptible cultivar of As compared to cvs. TN-1, IR-64 and IR-20 that is in correlation with data obtained from cluster analysis. Hence, identified As tolerant cultivars viz., TN-1, IR64 and IR-20 especially TN-1 could be used in As contaminated agricultural field after appropriate field trial. This study could help to gather information regarding cultivar-specific tolerance strategy to avoid pollutant induced toxicity.

Abstract
We report a kinetics and mechanistic study on the 1O2 oxidation of 9-methylguanine (9MG) and the cross-linking of the oxidized intermediate 2-amino-9-methyl-9H-purine-6,8-dione (9MOGOX) with Nα-acetyl-lysine-methyl ester (abbreviated as LysNH2) in aqueous solutions of different pH. Experimental measurements include the determination of product branching ratios and reaction kinetics using mass spectrometry and absorption spectroscopy, and the characterization of product structures by employing collision-induced dissociation. Strong pH dependence was revealed for both 9MG oxidation and the addition of nucleophiles (water and LysNH2) at the C5 position of 9MOGOX. The 1O2 oxidation rate constant of 9MG was determined to be 3.6 × 107 M-1·s-1 at pH 10.0 and 0.3 × 107 M-1·s-1 at pH 7.0, both of which were measured in the presence of 15 mM LysNH2. The ωB97XD density functional theory coupled with various basis sets and the SMD implicit solvation model was used to explore the reaction potential energy surfaces for the 1O2 oxidation of 9MG and the formation of C5-water and C5-LysNH2 adducts of 9MOGOX. Computational results have shed light on reaction pathways and product structures for the different ionization states of the reactants. The present work has confirmed that the initial 1O2 addition represents the rate-limiting step for the oxidative transformations of 9MG. All of the downstream steps are exothermic with respect to the starting reactants. The C5-cross-linking of 9MOGOX with LysNH2 significantly suppressed the formation of spiroiminodihydantoin (9MSp) resulting from the C5-water addition. The latter became dominant only at the low concentration (∼1 mM) of LysNH2.

Abstract
Electron transfer induced decomposition mechanism of nitroimidazole and a selection of analogue molecules in collisions with neutral potassium (K) atoms from 10 to 1000 eV have been thoroughly investigated. In this laboratory collision regime, the formation of negative ions was time-of-flight mass analyzed and the fragmentation patterns and branching ratios have been obtained. The most abundant anions have been assigned to the parent molecule and the nitrogen oxide anion (NO2–) and the electron transfer mechanisms are comprehensively discussed. This work focuses on the analysis of all fragment anions produced and it is complementary of our recent work on selective hydrogen loss from the transient negative ions produced in these collisions. Ab initio theoretical calculations were performed for 4-nitroimidazole (4NI), 2-nitroimidazole (2NI), 1-methyl-4- (Me4NI) and 1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (Me5NI), and imidazole (IMI) in the presence of a potassium atom and provided a strong basis for the assignment of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals accessed in the collision process.

Abstract
Accumulation of DNA lesions causing transcription stress is associated with natural and accelerated aging and culminates with profound metabolic alterations. Our understanding of the mechanisms governing metabolic redesign upon genomic instability, however, is highly rudimentary. Using Ercc1-defective mice and Xpg knock-out mice, we demonstrate that combined defects in transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) and in nucleotide excision repair (NER) directly affect bioenergetics due to declined transcription, leading to increased ATP levels. This in turn inhibits glycolysis allosterically and favors glucose rerouting through the pentose phosphate shunt, eventually enhancing production of NADPH-reducing equivalents. In NER/TCR-defective mutants, augmented NADPH is not counterbalanced by increased production of pro-oxidants and thus pentose phosphate potentiation culminates in an over-reduced redox state. Skin fibroblasts from the TCR disease Cockayne syndrome confirm results in animal models. Overall, these findings unravel a mechanism connecting DNA damage and transcriptional stress to metabolic redesign and protective antioxidant defenses. ERCC1 is involved in a number of DNA repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair. Here the authors showed that reduced transcription in Ercc1-deficient mouse livers and cells increases ATP levels, suppressing glycolysis and rerouting glucose into the pentose phosphate shunt that generates reductive stress.

Abstract
Oxidative damage to DNA leads to a number of two-electron oxidation products of guanine such as 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8oxoG). 5-Carboxyamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2Ih) is another two-electron oxidation product that forms in competition with 8oxoG. The pathways for the formation of 2Ih have been studied by density functional theory using the ωB97XD functional with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set and SMD implicit water solvation plus a small number of explicit water molecules positioned to help stabilize charged species and facilitate reaction steps. For oxidative conditions that produce hydroxyl radical, such as Fenton chemistry, hydroxy radical can add at C4, C5, or C8. Addition at C4 or C5 followed by loss of H2O produces guanine radical. Guanine radical can also be produced directly by oxidation of guanine by reactive oxygen species (ROS). A C5-OH intermediate can be formed by addition of superoxide to C5 of guanine radical followed by reduction. Alternatively, the C5-OH intermediate can be formed by hydroxy radical addition at C5 and oxidation by 3O2. The competition between oxidative and reductive pathways depends on the reaction conditions. Acyl migration of the C5-OH intermediate yields reduced spiroiminodihydantoin (Spred). Subsequent water addition at C8 of Spred and N7-C8 ring opening produces 2Ih. Hydroxy radical addition at C8 can lead to a number of products. Oxidation and tautomerization produces 8oxoG. Alternatively, addition of superoxide at C5 and reduction results in a C5, C8 dihydroxy intermediate. For this species, the low energy pathway to 2Ih is N7-C8 ring opening followed by acyl migration. Ring opening occurs more easily at C8-N9 but leads to a higher energy analogue of 2Ih. Thus, the dominant pathway for the production of 2Ih depends on the nature of the reactive oxygen species and on the presence or absence of reducing agents.

Abstract
This rebuttal letter is aimed at refuting the poor and false arguments elaborated by Chatgilialoglu (preceding article) in his response to the position article (Cadet et al. Free Radic Res 2019;53:574-577) that focussed on the putative reliability of the HPLC-MS/MS measurements of five radiation-induced damage to cellular DNA, which included 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyadenosine and the (5'R) and (5'S) diastereomers of 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine and 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (Krokidis et al. Free Radic Res 2017;51:470-482). Unfortunately, none of the main issues we raised on the suitability of the analytical approach and the shortcomings associated with DNA extraction in HPLC based measurement methods of oxidatively generated damage in cells were properly considered in Chatigilialolu's letter. The main questionable issues include the lack of information on the sensitivity of HPLC-MS/MS analysis, the absence of a dose curve that is essential in the formation of damage and the nonconsideration of artifactual oxidation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a widely used medicinal treatment for the cancer therapy that utilizes the combination of a photosensitizer (PS) and light irradiation. In this study, we synthesized two novel C60 fullerene derivatives, compounds 1 and 2, with a psoralen moiety that can covalently bind to DNA molecules via cross-linking to pyrimidine under photoirradiation. Along with several fullerene derivatives, the biological properties of several novel compounds have been evaluated. Compounds 1 and 2, which have been shown to induce the production of hydroxyl radicals using several ROS detecting reagents, induced DNA strand breaks with relatively weak activities in the in vitro detection system using a supercoiled plasmid. However, the psoralen-bound fullerene with carboxyl groups (2) only showed genotoxicity in the genotoxicity assay system of the umu test. Compound 2 was also seen to have cytotoxic activities in several cancer cell lines at higher doses compared to water-soluble fullerenes.
