Abstract
The influence of DNA duplex structural destabilization introduced by a single base-pair modification was investigated by nanopore measurements. A series of 11 modified base pairs were introduced into the context of an otherwise complementary DNA duplex formed by a 17-mer and a 65-mer such that the overhanging ends comprised poly(dT)23 tails, generating a representative set of duplexes that display a range of unzipping mechanistic behaviors and kinetic stabilities. The guanine oxidation products 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), guanidinohydantoin (Gh), and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) were paired with either cytosine (C), adenine (A), or 2,6-diaminopurine (D) to form modified base pairs. The mechanism and kinetic rate constants of duplex dissociation were determined by threading either the 3' or 5' overhangs into an α-hemolysin (α-HL) channel under an electrical field and measuring the distributions of unzipping times at constant force. In order of decreasing thermodynamic stability (as measured by duplex melting points), the rate of duplex dissociation increases, and the mechanism evolves from a first-order reaction to two sequential first-order reactions. These measurements allow us to rank the kinetic stability of lesion-containing duplexes relative to the canonical G:C base pair in which the OG:C, Gh:C, and Sp:C base pairs are, respectively, 3-200 times less stable. The rate constants also depend on whether unzipping was initiated from the 3' versus 5' side of the duplex. The kinetic stability of these duplexes was interpreted in terms of the structural destabilization introduced by the single base-pair modification. Specifically, a large distortion of the duplex backbone introduced by the presence of the highly oxidized guanine products Sp and Gh leads to a rapid two-step unzipping. The number of hydrogen bonds in the modified base pair plays a lesser role in determining the kinetics of duplex dissociation.

Abstract

Metabolic
activation of the proximate carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-trans-dihydrodiol (B[a]P-7,8-trans-dihydrodiol) by aldo-keto
reductases (AKRs) leads to B[a]P-7,8-dione that is
both electrophilic and redox-active. B[a]P-7,8-dione
generates reactive oxygen species resulting in oxidative DNA damage
in human lung cells. However, information on the formation of stable
B[a]P-7,8-dione-DNA adducts in these cells is lacking.
We studied stable DNA adduct formation of B[a]P-7,8-dione
in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, human bronchoalveolar H358
cells, and immortalized human bronchial epithelial HBEC-KT cells.
After treatment with 2 μM B[a]P-7,8-dione,
the cellular DNA was extracted from the cell pellets subjected to
enzyme hydrolysis and subsequent analysis by LC-MS/MS. Several stable
DNA adducts of B[a]P-7,8-dione were only detected
in A549 and HBEC-KT cells. In A549 cells, the structures of stable
B[a]P-7,8-dione-DNA adducts were identified as hydrated-B[a]P-7,8-dione-N2-2′-deoxyguanosine
and hydrated-B[a]P-7,8-dione-N1-2′-deoxyguanosine.
In HBEC-KT cells, the structures of stable B[a]P-7,8-dione-DNA
adducts were identified as hydrated-B[a]P-7,8-dione-2′-deoxyadenosine,
hydrated-B[a]P-7,8-dione-N1- or N3-2′-deoxyadenosine,
and B[a]P-7,8-dione-N1- or N3-2′-deoxyadenosine.
In each case, adduct structures were characterized by MSn spectra. Adduct structures were also compared to
those synthesized from reactions of B[a]P-7,8-dione
with either deoxyribonucleosides or salmon testis DNA in vitro but were found to be different.

Abstract
Telomere shortening occurs during oxidative and inflammatory stress with guanine (G) as the major site of damage. In this work, a comprehensive profile of the sites of oxidation and structures of products observed from G-quadruplex and duplex structures of the human telomere sequence was studied in the G-quadruplex folds (hybrid (K(+)), basket (Na(+)), and propeller (K(+) + 50% CH3CN)) resulting from the sequence 5'-(TAGGGT)4T-3' and in an appropriate duplex containing one telomere repeat. Oxidations with four oxidant systems consisting of riboflavin photosensitization, carbonate radical generation, singlet oxygen, and the copper Fenton-like reaction were analyzed under conditions of low product conversion to determine relative reactivity. The one-electron oxidants damaged the 5'-G in G-quadruplexes leading to spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 2,2,4-triamino-2H-oxazol-5-one (Z) as major products as well as 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) in low relative yields, while oxidation in the duplex context produced damage at the 5'- and middle-Gs of GGG sequences and resulted in Gh being the major product. Addition of the reductant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to the reaction did not alter the riboflavin-mediated damage sites but decreased Z by 2-fold and increased OG by 5-fold, while not altering the hydantoin ratio. However, NAC completely quenched the CO3(•-) reactions. Singlet oxygen oxidations of the G-quadruplex showed reactivity at all Gs on the exterior faces of G-quartets and furnished the product Sp, while no oxidation was observed in the duplex context under these conditions, and addition of NAC had no effect. Because a long telomere sequence would have higher-order structures of G-quadruplexes, studies were also conducted with 5'-(TAGGGT)8-T-3', and it provided oxidation profiles similar to those of the single G-quadruplex. Lastly, Cu(II)/H2O2-mediated oxidations were found to be indiscriminate in the damage patterns, and 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2Ih) was found to be a major duplex product, while nearly equal yields of 2Ih and Sp were observed in G-quadruplex contexts. These findings indicate that the nature of the secondary structure of folded DNA greatly alters both the reactivity of G toward oxidative stress as well as the product outcome and suggest that recognition of damage in telomeric sequences by repair enzymes may be profoundly different from that of B-form duplex DNA.

Abstract
The term "cell-free DNA" (cfDNA) was recently coined for DNA fragments from plasma/serum, while DNA present in in vitro cell culture media is known as extracellular DNA (ecDNA). Under oxidative stress conditions, the levels of oxidative modification of cellular DNA and the rate of cell death increase. Dying cells release their damaged DNA, thus, contributing oxidized DNA fragments to the pool of cfDNA/ecDNA. Oxidized cell-free DNA could serve as a stress signal that promotes irradiation-induced bystander effect. Evidence points to TLR9 as a possible candidate for oxidized DNA sensor. An exposure to oxidized ecDNA stimulates a synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that evokes an adaptive response that includes transposition of the homologous loci within the nucleus, polymerization and the formation of the stress fibers of the actin, as well as activation of the ribosomal gene expression, and nuclear translocation of NF-E2 related factor-2 (NRF2) that, in turn, mediates induction of phase II detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes. In conclusion, the oxidized DNA is a stress signal released in response to oxidative stress in the cultured cells and, possibly, in the human body; in particular, it might contribute to systemic abscopal effects of localized irradiation treatments.

Abstract
![]()
Oxidative damage to DNA has many origins, including irradiation,
inflammation, and oxidative stress, but the chemistries are not the
same. The most oxidizable base in DNA is 2-deoxyguanosine (dG), and
the primary oxidation products are 8-oxodG and 2-amino-imidazolone.
The latter rapidly converts to 2,2-diamino-oxazolone (Ox), and 8-oxodG
is further oxidized to spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and guanidinohydantoin
(Gh). In this study, we have examined the dose–response relationship
for the formation of the above four products arising in calf thymus
DNA exposed to gamma irradiation, photoactivated rose bengal, and
two sources of peroxynitrite. In order to carry out these experiments,
we developed a chromatographic system and synthesized isotopomeric
internal standards to enable accurate and precise analysis based upon
selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry. 8-OxodG was the most
abundant products in all cases, but its accumulation was highly dependent
on the nature of the oxidizing agent and the subsequent conversion
to Sp and Gh. Among the other oxidation products, Ox was the most
abundant, and Sp was formed in significantly greater yield than Gh.

Abstract
Purpose The standard of care in Locally-Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (LA-NSCLC) is chemotherapy and radiation; however, Radiation-Induced Lung Injury (RILI), which may be prevented by the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties of Flaxseed (FS), impedes its maximum benefit. Materials and Methods Patients with LA-NSCLC requiring definitive RT were randomized to one FS or control muffin daily from start to 2 weeks after RT. Blood and urine were collected to quantify plasma FS metabolites, Enterodione (ED) and Enterolactone (EL), and urinary oxidative stress biomarkers, 8, 12-iso-iPF2a-VI (isoprostane) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dGuo). Tolerability was defined as consuming ≥ 75% of the intended muffins and no ≥ grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicities. Results Fourteen patients (control,7; FS,7) were enrolled. The tolerability rates were 42.9 versus 71.4% (p=0.59) for FS and control, respectively. Mean percentages of intended number of muffins consumed were 37% versus 73% (p=0.12). ED and EL increased at onset of FS and decreased with discontinuation, confirming bioavailability. Isoprostane and 8-oxo-dGuo were detectable. There was a trend towards decreased rates of pneumonitis in FS. Conclusions This is the first study to report FS bioavailability and quantify oxidative stress markers in NSCLC patients. FS in the administered muffin formulation did not meet tolerability criteria. Given the promising mechanism of FS as a radioprotectant, further investigations should focus on the optimal method for administration of FS.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants. They are procarcinogens requiring metabolic activation to elicit their deleterious effects. Aldo-keto reductases (AKR) catalyze the oxidation of proximate carcinogenic PAH trans-dihydrodiols to yield electrophilic and redox-active PAH o-quinones. AKRs are also found to be capable of reducing PAH o-quinones to form PAH catechols. The interconversion of o-quinones and catechols results in the redox-cycling of PAH o-quinones to give rise to the generation of reactive oxygen species and subsequent oxidative DNA damage. On the other hand, PAH catechols can be intercepted through phase II metabolism by which PAH o-quinones could be detoxified and eliminated. The aim of the present review is to summarize the role of human AKRs in the metabolic activation/detoxication of PAH and the relevance of phase II conjugation reactions to human lung carcinogenesis.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG) is the most common base damage found in cells, where it resides in many structural contexts, including the nucleotide pool, single-stranded DNA at transcription forks and replication bubbles, and duplex DNA base-paired with either adenine (A) or cytosine (C). OG is prone to further oxidation to the highly mutagenic hydantoin products spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) and 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) in a sharply pH-dependent fashion within nucleosides. In the present work, studies were conducted to determine how the structural context affects OG oxidation to the hydantoins. These studies revealed a trend in which the Sp yield was greatest in unencumbered contexts, such as nucleosides, while the Gh yield increased in oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) contexts or at reduced pH. Oxidation of oligomers containing hydrogen-bond modulators (2,6-diaminopurine, N(4)-ethylcytidine) or alteration of the reaction conditions (pH, temperature, and salt) identify base stacking, electrostatics, and base pairing as the drivers of the key intermediate 5-hydroxy-8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (5-HO-OG) partitioning along the two hydantoin pathways, allowing us to propose a mechanism for the observed base-pairing effects. Moreover, these structural effects cause an increase in the effective pK(a) of 5-HO-OG, following an increasing trend from 5.7 in nucleosides to 7.7 in a duplex bearing an OG·C base pair, which supports the context-dependent product yields. The high yield of Gh in ODNs underscores the importance of further study on this lesion. The structural context of OG also determined its relative reactivity toward oxidation, for which the OG·A base pair is ~2.5-fold more reactive than an OG·C base pair, and with the weak one-electron oxidant ferricyanide, the OG nucleoside reactivity is >6000-fold greater than that of OG·C in a duplex, leading to the conclusion that OG in the nucleoside pool should act as a protective agent for OG in the genome.

Abstract
Adenosine deaminases (ADA) are key enzymes that deaminate adenosine (A) or deoxyadenosine (dA) and produce inosine or deoxyinosine (dI), respectively. While ADA only deaminates free dA, reactive nitrogen species (RNS) or reactive oxygen species (ROS) deaminate adenine base on the DNA and leave dI, which is a pre-mutagenic lesion. Therefore, dI adduct in the genomic DNA has been considered a biomarker of DNA damage caused by RNS or by ROS. In the presented study, genomic DNA was isolated from frozen calf thymus in low or room temperature, with or without an addition of antioxidant. The number of dI in the DNA was measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. While low temperature (LT) work-up with an addition of antioxidant in reagents helped to prevent artifactual formation of oxidative DNA lesions in the calf thymus DNA (CTD), it also significantly inhibited activities of proteinase, which in turn resulted in significant ADA contamination in the final DNA samples. ADA remained in LT-CTD completely deaminated most dA when the DNA was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis to single nucleosides. The ADA contamination in the DNA was significantly reduced when DNA was isolated from pre-isolated nuclear fraction rather than from entire tissue homogenates. However, enzymes used for DNA hydrolysis were confirmed to contain significant amounts of ADA. Therefore, these enzymes would increase deamination of dA during DNA hydrolysis. Artifactual dI production by contaminated ADA was dramatically reduced by an addition of EHNA (erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine), which is a potent inhibitor of ADA. However, time- and temperature-dependent dI production from dA in phosphate buffer solution was observed. More importantly, TEMPO, an antioxidant commonly used to prevent DNA oxidation, was found to deaminate dA independent to ADA. Overall, these findings indicate that assay methods measuring dI or other dA DNA adducts in genomic DNA should be carefully validated to minimize artificial errors caused by dA deamination. Recommendations to overcome those technical challenges were discussed in this presentation.

Abstract
7,8-Dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dGuo) is a useful biomarker of oxidative stress. However, its analysis can be challenging because 8-oxo-dGuo must be quantified in the presence of dGuo, without artifactual conversion to 8-oxo-dGuo. Urine is the ideal biological fluid for population studies, because it can be obtained noninvasively and it is less likely that artifactual oxidation of dGuo can occur because of the relatively low amounts that are present compared with hydrolyzed DNA. Stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography-selected reaction monitoring/mass spectrometry (LC-SRM/MS) with 8-oxo-[(15)N(5)]dGuo as internal standard provided the highest possible specificity for 8-oxo-dGuo analysis. Furthermore, artifact formation was determined by addition of [(13)C(10)(15)N(5)]dGuo and monitoring of its conversion to 8-oxo-[(13)C(10)(15)N(5)]dGuo during the analytical procedure. 8-Oxo-dGuo concentrations were normalized for interindividual differences in urine flow by analysis of creatinine using stable isotope dilution LC-SRM/MS. A significant increase in urinary 8-oxo-dGuo was observed in tobacco smokers compared with nonsmokers either using simple urinary concentrations or after normalization for creatinine excretion. The mean levels of 8-oxo-dGuo were 1.65ng/ml and the levels normalized to creatinine were 1.72μg/g creatinine. Therefore, stable isotope dilution LC-SRM/MS analysis of urinary 8-oxo-dGuo complements urinary isoprostane (isoP) analysis for assessing tobacco-smoking-induced oxidative stress. This method will be particularly useful for studies that employ polyunsaturated fatty acids, in which a reduction in arachidonic acid precursor could confound isoP measurements.

Abstract
The unzipping kinetics for lesion-containing DNA duplexes was studied in an α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore. The lesion of focus was the guanine two-electron oxidation product, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), and its further oxidation products, the hydantoins guanidinohydantoin (Gh) and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp). The voltage-driven unzipping of individual duplex DNA molecules with symmetrical overhangs was carried out by pulling one strand of the duplex through the α-HL channel using an electrical field. Entry from the 3' or 5' end produced distinct current blockages, allowing directional effects on unzipping kinetics to be investigated. We find that the strand dissociation of complementary duplexes or duplexes containing the slightly destabilizing lesion OG follows a first-order kinetic model, while opening of duplexes that contain the highly destabilizing lesions Gh or Sp is described by two sequential first-order reactions, in which the intermediate state is proposed to correspond to the duplex unzipped to the lesion site within the channel. The rate constants for strand separation of the duplexes containing single lesions were obtained from kinetic model fits to histograms of unzipping duration. For all duplexes, the rate constants for strand separation displayed a significant dependence on the direction of entry into the nanopore. For duplexes containing Gh, truncated duplexes were used to assign the measured rate constants for the first and second unzipping steps of symmetrically designed duplexes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human blood normally contains circulating cell-free DNA (cirDNA). Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) present in cell culture medium is termed extracellular DNA (ecDNA). Its concentration, GC content and oxidation level depend on physiological state of the organism. cirDNA could probably be one of the aggressive factors encountered by therapeutic stem cells. The authors hypothesize that oxidized cirDNA could influence their survival rate. They aimed to uncover the effects of oxidized ecDNAs, including ecDNA of cultivated primary tumor cells and cirDNA from blood plasma of cancer patients on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). AREAS COVERED Increased concentrations of cfDNA stimulate a rapid increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesis and up-regulate antioxidant response genes (NRF2, KEAP1, SOD1, BRCA1, BCL2) in MSCs. This response is more prominent when cfDNA contains higher proportions of 8-oxo-dG. Within an hour, oxidized DNA induces a decrease in ROS production while NRF2 mRNA levels continue to augment and the NRF2 protein translocates into the nucleus. Additionally, oxidized DNA up-regulates PPRAG2 with no apparent induction of adipogenesis. This kind of response is specific for MSCs. EXPERT OPINION Oxidized cfDNA up-regulates NRF2 and PPARG2 and reduces ROS production in MSCs. These effects should be taken into account when considering therapeutic applications of stem cells.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dione (B[a]P-7,8-dione) is produced in human lung cells by the oxidation of (±)-B[a]P-7,8-trans-dihydrodiol, which is catalyzed by aldo-keto reductases (AKRs). However, information relevant to the cell-based metabolism of B[a]P-7,8-dione is lacking. We studied the metabolic fate of 2 μM 1,3-[(3)H(2)]-B[a]P-7,8-dione in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells, human bronchoalveolar H358 cells, and immortalized human bronchial epithelial HBEC-KT cells. In these three cell lines, 1,3-[(3)H(2)]-B[a]P-7,8-dione was rapidly consumed, and radioactivity was distributed between the organic and aqueous phase of ethyl acetate-extracted media, as well as in the cell lysate pellets. After acidification of the media, several metabolites of 1,3-[(3)H(2)]-B[a]P-7,8-dione were detected in the organic phase of the media by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet-radioactivity monitoring (HPLC-UV-RAM). The structures of B[a]P-7,8-dione metabolites varied in the cell lines and were identified as B[a]P-7,8-dione conjugates with glutathione (GSH) and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), 8-O-monomethylated-catechol, catechol monosulfate, and monoglucuronide, and monohydroxylated-B[a]P-7,8-dione by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We also obtained evidence for the first time for the formation of an adenine adduct of B[a]P-7,8-dione. Among these metabolites, the identity of the GSH-B[a]P-7,8-dione and the NAC-B[a]P-7,8-dione was further validated by comparison to authentic synthesized standards. The pathways of B[a]P-7,8-dione metabolism in the three human lung cell lines are formation of GSH and NAC conjugates, reduction to the catechol followed by phase II conjugation reactions leading to its detoxification, monohydroxylation, as well as formation of the adenine adduct.

Abstract
Cancer is a disease of aging, and so with the increasing age of the US population, the incidence of cancer is also increasing. Furthermore the global burden of cancer continues to increase largely because of aging and growth of the world population together with increasing smoking rates in economically developing countries. Tumor formation is critically dependent upon two processes--initiation and progression. The initiation step is mediated by DNA damage, which causes activating mutations in proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in many cancers. This is then thought to facilitate tumor progression and metastasis. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is upregulated at an early stage in tumorigenesis and has been implicated as an important mediator of proliferation through the increased formation of bioactive arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites such as prostaglandin E(2). Significantly, we have found that COX-2-mediated AA metabolism also results in the formation of heptanone-etheno (Hε)-DNA adducts. Furthermore, we showed that the Hε-DNA adducts arose from the reaction of DNA with the lipid hydroperoxide-derived bifunctional electrophile, 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal (ONE). Similarly, 5-lipoxoygenase-mediated AA metabolism also results in the formation of ONE-derived DNA adducts. The resulting Hε-DNA adducts are highly mutagenic in mammalian cell lines suggesting that these pathways could be (in part) responsible for the somatic mutations observed in tumorigenesis. As approximately 80% of cancers arise from somatic mutations, this provides an additional link between the upregulation of COX-2 and tumorigenesis.

Abstract
A broad scientific community is involved in investigations aimed at delineating the mechanisms of formation and cellular processing of oxidatively generated damage to nucleic acids. Perhaps as a consequence of this breadth of research expertise, there are nomenclature problems for several of the oxidized bases including 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua), a ubiquitous marker of almost every type of oxidative stress in cells. Efforts to standardize the nomenclature and abbreviations of the main DNA degradation products that arise from oxidative pathways are reported. Information is also provided on the main oxidative radicals, non-radical oxygen species, one-electron agents and enzymes involved in DNA degradation pathways as well in their targets and reactivity. A brief classification of oxidatively generated damage to DNA that may involve single modifications, tandem base modifications, intrastrand and interstrand cross-links together with DNA-protein cross-links and base adducts arising from the addition of lipid peroxides breakdown products is also included.

Abstract
Abasic site-containing DNA duplex is a versatile structural motif that can be used for the design of purine aptamers and sensors. In this study, several modifications were introduced to the abasic site to explore possible specific binding of free 8-oxoG, a product of DNA base excision repair. The nucleoside opposite the abasic site was replaced by pyrrolo-dC as a reporter group. Binding of 8-oxoG quenched pyrrolo-dC fluorescence by as much as 70%. In contrast, adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine showed only minimal fluorescence quenching effect. The best aptamer binds 8-oxoG with a dissociation constant of 5.5±0.8μM. This sensor can be used to accurately measure 8-oxoG concentrations in the presence of guanine.

Abstract
Multi-drug resistance protein (MRP) 4, an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, has broad substrate specificity. It facilitates the transport of bile salt conjugates, conjugated steroids, nucleoside analogs, eicosanoids, and cardiovascular drugs. Recent studies in liver carcinoma cells and hepatocytes showed that MRP4 expression is regulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). The AhR has particular importance in the lung and is most commonly associated with the up-regulation of cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-mediated metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) to reactive intermediates. Treatment of H358, human bronchoalveolar, cells with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) or (-)-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dihydro-7,8-diol (B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol), the proximate carcinogen of B[a]P, revealed that MRP4 expression was increased compared to control. This suggested that MRP4 expression might contribute to the paradoxical decrease in (+)-7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene-2'-deoxyguanosine ((+)-anti-trans-B[a]PDE-dGuo) DNA-adducts observed in TCDD-treated H358 cells. We have now found that decreased MRP4 expression induced by a short hairpin RNA (shRNA), or chemical inhibition with probenecid, increased (+)-anti-trans-B[a]PDE-dGuo formation in cells treated with (-)-B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol, but not the ultimate carcinogen (+)-anti-trans-B[a]PDE. Thus, up-regulation of MRP4 increased cellular efflux of (-)-B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol, which attenuated DNA-adduct formation. This is the first report identifying a specific MRP efflux transporter that decreases DNA damage arising from an environmental carcinogen.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine is a ubiquitous oxidative base lesion. We report here on the effect of this lesion on the structure and stability of quadruplexes formed by the human telomeric DNA sequence 5'-dG(3)(TTAG(3))(3) in NaCl and KCl. CD, PAGE and absorption-based thermodynamic stability data showed that replacement of any of the tetrad-forming guanines by 8-oxoguanine did not hinder the formation of monomolecular, antiparallel quadruplexes in NaCl. The modified quadruplexes were, however, destabilized in both salts, the extent of this depending on the position of the lesion. These results and the results of previous studies on guanine-to-adenine exchanges and guanine abasic lesions in the same quadruplex show a noticeable trend: it is not the type of the lesion but the position of the modification that determines the effect on the conformation and stability of the quadruplex. The type of lesion only governs the extent of changes, such as of destabilization. Most sensitive sites were found in the middle tetrad of the three-tetrad quadruplex, and the smallest alterations were observed if guanines of the terminal tetrad with the diagonal TTA loop were substituted, although even these substitutions brought about unfavorable enthalpic changes. Interestingly, the majority of these base-modified quadruplexes did not adopt the rearranged folding induced in the unmodified dG(3)(TTAG(3))(3) by potassium ions, an observation that could imply biological relevance of the results.

Abstract
Inhalation of vanadium pentoxide clearly increases the incidence of
alveolar/bronchiolar neoplasms in male and female B6C3F1 mice at all
concentrations tested (1, 2 or 4 mg/m3), whereas responses in F344/N
rats was, at most, ambiguous. While vanadium pentoxide is mutagenic in
vitro and possibly in vivo in mice, this does not
explain the species or site specificity of the neoplastic response. A nose-only
inhalation study was conducted in female B6C3F1 mice (0, 0.25, 1 and
4 mg/m3, 6 h/day for 16 days) to explore histopathological,
biochemical (α-tocopherol, glutathione and F2-isoprostane) and genetic (comet
assays and 9 specific DNA-oxo-adducts) changes in the lungs. No treatment
related histopathology was observed at 0.25 mg/m3. At 1 and
4 mg/m3, exposure-dependent increases were observed in lung
weight, alveolar histiocytosis, sub-acute alveolitis and/or granulocytic
infiltration and a generally time-dependent increased cell proliferation rate of
histiocytes. Glutathione was slightly increased, whereas there were no
consistent changes in α-tocopherol or 8-isoprostane F2α. There was no evidence
for DNA strand breakage in lung or BAL cells, but there was an increase in
8-oxodGuo DNA lesions that could have been due to vanadium pentoxide induction
of the lesions or inhibition of repair of spontaneous lesions. Thus, earlier
reports of histopathological changes in the lungs after inhalation of vanadium
pentoxide were confirmed, but no evidence has yet emerged for a genotoxic mode
of action. Evidence is weak for oxidative stress playing any role in lung
carcinogenesis at the lowest effective concentrations of vanadium pentoxide.

Abstract
Genotoxic end-points are routinely measured in various sentinel organisms in aquatic environments in order to monitor the impact of water pollution on organisms. As a first step towards the evaluation of oxidative DNA damage (8-oxodG) in organisms exposed to chemical water pollution, we have optimized the association between the comet assay and the hOGG1 enzyme for use on zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) gill cells by in vitro exposure to H₂O₂. Firstly, we observed that in vitro exposure of D. polymorpha gill cells to benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P, 98.4nM) induced an increase of the Olive Tail Moment (OTM) in both the comet-hOGG1 and comet-Fpg assays, indicating that B[a]P causes oxidative DNA damage. By contrast, methylmethane sulfonate (MMS, 33μM) only induced an increase of the Fpg-sensitive sites, indicating that MMS caused alkylating DNA damage and confirming that hOGG1 does not detect alkylating damage. Thus, the hOGG1 enzyme seems to be more specific towards oxidative DNA damage, such as 8-oxodG than Fpg. Secondly, as was observed in vitro, the in vivo exposure of D. polymorpha to B[a]P (24.6 and 98.4nM) increased oxidative DNA damage in gill cells, whereas only Fpg-sensitive sites were detected in mussels exposed to MMS (240μM). These results show that the comet-hOGG1 assay detects oxidative DNA lesions induced in vitro by H₂O₂ and in vivo with BaP. The comet-hOGG1 assay will be used to detect oxidative DNA lesions (8-oxodG) in mussels exposed in situ.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspect human lung carcinogens and can be metabolically activated to remote quinones, for example, benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-dione (B[a]P-1,6-dione) and B[a]P-3,6-dione by the action of either P450 monooxygenase or peroxidases, and to non-K region o-quinones, for example B[a]P-7,8-dione, by the action of aldo keto reductases (AKRs). B[a]P-7,8-dione also structurally resembles 4-hydroxyequilenin o-quinone. These three classes of quinones can redox cycle, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and produce the mutagenic lesion 8-oxo-dGuo and may contribute to PAH- and estrogen-induced carcinogenesis. We compared the ability of a complete panel of human recombinant AKRs to catalyze the reduction of PAH o-quinones in the phenanthrene, chrysene, pyrene, and anthracene series. The specific activities for NADPH-dependent quinone reduction were often 100-1000 times greater than the ability of the same AKR isoform to oxidize the cognate PAH-trans-dihydrodiol. However, the AKR with the highest quinone reductase activity for a particular PAH o-quinone was not always identical to the AKR isoform with the highest dihydrodiol dehydrogenase activity for the respective PAH-trans-dihydrodiol. Discrete AKRs also catalyzed the reduction of B[a]P-1,6-dione, B[a]P-3,6-dione, and 4-hydroxyequilenin o-quinone. Concurrent measurements of oxygen consumption, superoxide anion, and hydrogen peroxide formation established that ROS were produced as a result of the redox cycling. When compared with human recombinant NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) and carbonyl reductases (CBR1 and CBR3), NQO1 was a superior catalyst of these reactions followed by AKRs and last CBR1 and CBR3. In A549 cells, two-electron reduction of PAH o-quinones causes intracellular ROS formation. ROS formation was unaffected by the addition of dicumarol, suggesting that NQO1 is not responsible for the two-electron reduction observed and does not offer protection against ROS formation from PAH o-quinones.

Abstract
This survey focuses on the critical evaluation of the main methods that are currently available for monitoring single and complex oxidatively generated damage to cellular DNA. Among chromatographic methods, HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and to a lesser extent HPLC-ECD which is restricted to a few electroactive nucleobases and nucleosides are appropriate for measuring the formation of single and clustered DNA lesions. Such methods that require optimized protocols for DNA extraction and digestion are sensitive enough for measuring base lesions formed under conditions of severe oxidative stress including exposure to ionizing radiation, UVA light and high intensity UVC laser pulses. In contrast application of GC-MS and HPLC-MS methods that are subject to major drawbacks have been shown to lead to overestimated values of DNA damage. Enzymatic methods that are based on the use of DNA repair glycosylases in order to convert oxidized bases into strand breaks are suitable, even if they are far less specific than HPLC methods, to deal with low levels of single modifications. Several other methods including immunoassays and (32)P-postlabeling methods that are still used suffer from drawbacks and therefore are not recommended. Another difficult topic is the measurement of oxidatively generated clustered DNA lesions that is currently achieved using enzymatic approaches and that would necessitate further investigations.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species attack both base and sugar moieties in DNA with a preference among the bases for reaction at guanine. In the present study, 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) was oxidized by a copper-mediated Fenton reaction with the reductants ascorbate or N-acetyl-cysteine, yielding oxidation on both the base and the sugar. The primary oxidized lesions observed in these studies include the 2'-deoxyribonucleosides of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (dOG), spiroiminodihydantoin (dSp), guanidinohydantoin (dGh), oxazolone (dZ), and 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (d2Ih), as well as the free base guanine. d2Ih was the major product observed in the nucleoside, single- and double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide contexts and is proposed to arise from oxidation at C5 of guanine. Product distribution studies provide insight into the role of the reductant in partitioning of dG base oxidation along the C5 and C8 pathways.

Abstract
Oxidative metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) are implicated in inflammation. Thus, we evaluated cycloxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOs) mediated metabolism of AA to eicosanoids in equine plasma. Eicosanoids were extracted from plasma by two liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) steps; first was by chloroform/isopropanol and second by methyl-tert-butyl ether. For identification and quantification of 25 eicosanoids, a highly specific, selective and sensitive stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography (LC) multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometric (MS) method was developed. To avoid artifact formation of eicosanoids, deferoxamine was added to plasma to chelate residual transition metal ions. The calibration curve showed excellent linearity within 0.1 to 10 ng/mL. Slopes of the calibration curves generated by adding known quantities of eicosanoids in plasma were higher than those prepared in methanol/mobile phase A. Addition of deferoxamine decreased the slope of calibration curves generated using plasma. Limit of detection (LOD) was 1-10 pg on-column for 25 different eicosanoids. Inter-day accuracy was 86-111%, whereas intra-day accuracy was from 88-110%, and precision did not exceed 15% for all quality control (QC) samples. To evaluate the formation of eicosanoids, AA was exogenously added or endogenous AA was released from esterified lipids by calcium ionophore (CI) A23187 treatment of equine whole blood. Pre-treatment of equine whole blood with dexamethasone (DEX) significantly inhibited AA or CI A23187- mediated formation of eicosanoids. The validated method is now employed in studies undertaken to better understand the mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of eicosanoids after administration of glucocorticoids to horses. This method is reliably reproducible.

Abstract
The ability to detect DNA damage within the context of the surrounding sequence is an important goal in medical diagnosis and therapies, but there are no satisfactory methods available to detect a damaged base while providing sequence information. One of the most common base lesions is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, which occurs during oxidation of guanine. In the work presented here, we demonstrate the detection of a single oxidative damage site using ion channel nanopore methods employing α-hemolysin. Hydantoin lesions produced from further oxidation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine, as well as spirocyclic adducts produced from covalently attaching a primary amine to the spiroiminodihydantoin lesion, were detected by tethering the damaged DNA to streptavidin via a biotin linkage and capturing the DNA inside an α-hemolysin ion channel. Spirocyclic adducts, in both homo- and heteropolymer background single-stranded DNA sequences, produced current blockage levels differing by almost 10% from those of native base current blockage levels. These preliminary studies show the applicability of ion channel recordings not only for DNA sequencing, which has recently received much attention, but also for detecting DNA damage, which will be an important component to any sequencing efforts.

Abstract
In industrialized countries, people spend more time indoors and are therefore increasingly exposed to volatile organic compounds that are emitted at working places and from consumer products, paintings, and furniture, with chlorobenzene (CB) and 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) being representatives of the halogenated arenes. To unravel the molecular effects of low concentrations typical for indoor and occupational exposure, we exposed human lung epithelial cells to CB and DCB and analyzed the effects on the proteome level by 2-D DIGE, where 860 protein spots were detected. A set of 25 and 30 proteins were found to be significantly altered due to exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of 10(-2) g/m(3) of CB or 10(-3) g/m(3) of DCB (2.2 and 0.17 ppm), respectively. The most enriched pathways were cell death signaling, oxidative stress response, protein quality control, and metabolism. The involvement of oxidative stress was validated by ROS measurement. Among the regulated proteins, 28, for example, voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 2, PDCD6IP protein, heat shock protein beta-1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, nucleophosmin, seryl-tRNA synthetase, prohibitin, and protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1, could be correlated with the molecular pathway of cell death signaling. Caspase 3 activation by cleavage was confirmed for both CB and DCB by immunoblotting. Treatment with CB or DCB also caused differential protein phosphorylation, for example, at the proteins HNRNP C1/C2, serine-threonine receptor associated protein, and transaldolase 1. Compared to previous results, where cells were exposed to styrene, for the chlorinated aromatic substances besides oxidative stress, apoptosis was found as the predominant cellular response mechanism.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that DNA oxidative damage be related to the chemical constituents of ambient particles. The purpose of this study was to examine whether particulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and quinone-structure chemicals increase body burden of oxidative stress in human exposed to heavy traffic volume. We recruited two nonsmoking security guards who worked at a university campus gate near a heavily trafficked road. Each subject wore a personal air sampler for 24h per day to estimate exposures to 24 PAHs and anthraquinone (AnQ) in PM(2.5). Daily pre- and post-work shift spot urines were collected for 29d from each subject. Urine samples were analyzed for 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). Additionally, using 19 organic tracers other than 24 PAHs and AnQ, a receptor source apportionment model of chemical mass balance was applied to determine the contributions of sources on the PM: gasoline vehicle, diesel vehicle, coal burning, vegetable debris, cooking, natural gas and biomass burning. The relationship among urinary 8-OHdG, individual PAH, and AnQ was demonstrated as follows: the average urinary concentration of 8-OHdG was increased more than three times after 8-h work-shift than those before the work shift. All the 24 PAH and AnQ levels were positively and significantly associated with the post-work urinary 8-OHdG. The results from source apportionment suggest vehicular emission to be the dominant source of personal exposure to PM(2.5). Our finding indicates that personal air exposures to 24 individual PAHs and AnQ originating from traffic emissions are important in increasing oxidative burdens in human body.

Abstract
Environmental carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), require metabolic activation to DNA-reactive metabolites in order to exert their tumorigenic effects. Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a prototypic PAH, is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (P450) 1A1/1B1 and epoxide hydrolase to (-)-B[a]P-7,8-dihydro-7,8-diol (B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol). B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol then undergoes further P4501A1/1B1-mediated metabolism to the ultimate carcinogen, (+)-anti-7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-B[a]P (B[a]PDE), which forms DNA-adducts primarily with 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) to form (+)-anti-trans-B[a]PDE-N(2)-dGuo (B[a]PDE-dGuo) in DNA. Pretreatment of cells with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is known to induce P4501A1/1B1 mRNA expression through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway. This causes increased B[a]PDE-dGuo formation in liver cells. In contrast, TCDD induction of H358 lung cells surprisingly caused a decrease in (-)-B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol-mediated (+)-B[a]PDE-dGuo adduct formation when compared with the non-TCDD-induced cells. Furthermore, treatment of the TCDD-induced cells with (±)-B[a]PDE also resulted in decreased (+)-B[a]PDE-dGuo adduct formation when compared with the non-TCDD-induced cells. These data suggested that it was a detoxification pathway that had been up-regulated rather than an activation pathway that had been down-regulated. LC-MS was used to analyze B[a]PDE-dGuo and B[a]PDE-GSH-adducts in H358 lung and HepG2 liver cells. There was a significant increase in the (-)-B[a]PDE-GSH-adduct with high enantiomeric excess after treatment of the TCDD-induced H358 cells with (±)-B[a]PDE when compared with the noninduced cells. This could explain why increased activation of (-)-B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol through TCDD up-regulation of P4501A1/1B1 did not lead to increased (+)-B[a]PDE-dGuo adducts in the H358 lung cells. In addition, TCDD did not induce B[a]PDE-GSH-adduct formation in HepG2 liver cells. (±)-B[a]PDE-GSH-adducts were formed at much lower levels in both TCDD-induced and noninduced HepG2 cells when compared with (-)-B[a]PDE-GSH-adducts in the H358 lung cells. Therefore, our study has revealed that there is a subtle balance between activation and detoxification of B[a]P in lung-derived compared with liver-derived cells and that this determines how much DNA damage occurs.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that salvage of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanine (8-oxoGua) can contribute substantially to levels of 8-oxoGua in DNA and RNA. However, it remains to be determined if this mechanism contributes to mutagenesis and disease. This review covers the predominant methods for detecting 8-oxoGua and its derivatives, summarizes some of the relevant recent DNA repair studies and discusses the mechanisms for metabolism of oxidized guanine derivatives in the (2'-deoxy)ribonucleoside and (2'-deoxy)ribonucleotide pools.

Abstract
The 1-carbamoyl-2-oxo-4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidine modification of cytosine is a known base modification produced in vitro by oxidative stress. However, the presence of this modification in vivo has not been established. In this study the introduction of this base modification into dinucleoside monophosphates was accomplished using the Fenton reaction. Subsequently, the modification was produced in short isotopically labeled oligomers. Labeled tetramers bearing the lesion were used as internal standards for LC-MS/MS determinations of the base modification in the DNA of white blood cells from healthy donors. The background level of the 1-carbamoyl-2-oxo-4,5-dihydroxyimidazolidine modification of cytosine was found to be larger than the levels of the formamide and thymine glycol base modifications.

Abstract
This work is an attempt to investigate the chemical stability of 1,N2-propano-2'-deoxyguanosine (pdG-HNE) and 1,N2-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine (epsilondG) DNA adducts against hydrolysis and upon oxidation reactions. It includes both kinetic issues together with proposed degradation pathways. While both chemicals are stable in the 3.5-9 pH range, the results suggest that pdG-HNE adduct is less prone to in vitro oxidative transformation than epsilondG adduct. EpsilondG and pdG-HNE behave differently upon hydroxyl radical and one electron oxidation reactions. The exocyclic ring of epsilondG is mainly affected by oxidative processes leading to the regeneration of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) while the integrity of the exocyclic ring is preserved for pdG-HNE. Consequently, pdG-HNE might be a better biomarker than epsilondG for monitoring oxidative stress during environmental or occupational exposures to chemicals. Understanding the in vitro routes of etheno and propano DNA adduct degradation would probably help to guide the development of analytical methodologies for the reliable detection of these endogenous adducts.

Abstract
The biological aldehydes, malondialdehyde and base propenal, react with DNA to form a prevalent guanine adduct, M1dG. The exocyclic ring of M1dG opens to the acyclic N2-OPdG structure when paired with C but remains closed in single-stranded DNA or when mispaired with T. M1dG is a target of nucleotide excision repair (NER); however, NER is absent in mitochondria. An in vitro transcription system with purified human mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) and transcription factors, mtTFA and mtTFB2, was used to determine the effect of M1dG on POLRMT elongation. DNA templates contained a single adduct opposite either C or T downstream of either the light-strand (LSP) or heavy-strand (HSP1) promoter for POLRMT. M1dG in the transcribed strand arrested 60–90% POLRMT elongation complexes with greater arrest by the adduct when opposite T. POLRMT was more sensitive to N2-OPdG and M1dG after initiation at LSP, which suggests promoter-specific differences in the function of POLRMT complexes. A closed-ring analog of M1dG, PdG, blocked ≥95% of transcripts originating from either promoter regardless of base pairing, and the transcripts remained associated with POLRMT complexes after stalling at the adduct. This work suggests that persistent M1dG adducts in mitochondrial DNA hinder the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

Abstract
Search for the formation of oxidatively base damage in cellular DNA has been a matter of debate for more than 40 years due to the lack of accurate methods for the measurement of the lesions. HPLC associated with either tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) or electrochemical detector (ECD) together with optimized DNA extraction conditions constitutes a relevant analytical approach. This has allowed the accurate measurement of oxidatively generated single and clustered base damage in cellular DNA following exposure to acute oxidative stress conditions mediated by ionizing radiation, UVA light and one-electron oxidants. In this review the formation of 11 single base lesions that is accounted for by reactions of singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical or high intensity UVC laser pulses with nucleobases is discussed on the basis of the mechanisms available from model studies. In addition several clustered lesions were found to be generated in cellular DNA as the result of one initial radical hit on either a vicinal base or the 2-deoxyribose. Information on nucleobase modifications that are formed upon addition of reactive aldehydes arising from the breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides is also provided.

Abstract
The ability to conduct validated analyses of glutathione (GSH)-adducts and their metabolites is critically important in order to establish whether they play a role in cellular biochemical or pathophysiological processes. The use of stable isotope dilution (SID) methodology in combination with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) provides the highest bioanalytical specificity possible for such analyses. Quantitative studies normally require the high sensitivity that can be obtained by the use of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)/MS rather than the much less sensitive but more specific full scanning methodology. The method employs a parent ion corresponding to the intact molecule together with a prominent product ion that obtained by collision induced dissociation. Using SID LC-MRM/MS, analytes must have the same relative LC retention time to the heavy isotope internal standard established during the validation procedure, the correct parent ion and the correct product ion. This level of specificity cannot be attained with any other bioanalytical technique employed for biomarker analysis. This review will describe the application of SID LC-MR/MS methodology for the analysis of GSH-adducts and their metabolites. It will also discuss potential future directions for the use of this methodology for rigorous determination of their utility as disease and exposure biomarkers.

Abstract
The ability to conduct validated analyses of biomarkers is critically important in order to establish the sensitivity and selectivity of the biomarker in identifying a particular disease. The use of stable-isotope dilution (SID) methodology in combination with LC–MS/MS provides the highest possible analytical specificity for quantitative determinations. This methodology is now widely used in the discovery and validation of putative exposure and disease biomarkers. This review will describe the application of SID LC–MS methodology for the analysis of small-molecule and protein biomarkers. It will also discuss potential future directions for the use of this methodology for rigorous biomarker analysis.

Abstract
Increased amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), generally termed oxidative stress, are frequently hypothesized to be causally associated with many diseases. Analyses of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in DNA and urine are widely used biomarkers for oxidative stress. Over the years it became clear that analysis of 8-oxo-dG in DNA is challenging due to artifactual formation during sample work up. The present study demonstrates that 8-oxo-dG can be measured reliably and accurately when appropriate precautions are taken. First, the presence of an antioxidant, metal chelator, or free radical trapping agent during sample preparation improves reproducibility. Second, sample enrichment by HPLC fraction collection was used to optimize sensitivity. Third, heat assisted electrospray ionization (HESI) eliminated potential interferences and improved assay performance and sensitivity. Subsequently, the UPLC-HESI-MS/MS method was applied to show the biphasic dose response of 8-oxo-dG in H(2)O(2)-treated HeLa cells. Application of this method to human lymphocyte DNA (n=156) gave a mean+/-SD endogenous amount of 1.57+/-0.88 adducts per 10(6) dG, a value that is in agreement with the suggested amount previously estimated by European Standard Committee on Oxidative DNA Damage (ESCODD) and others. These results suggest that the present method is well suited for application to molecular toxicology and epidemiology studies investigating the role of oxidative stress.

Relative contribution of DNA strand breaks and DNA adducts to the genotoxicity of benzo[a]pyrene as a pure compound and in complex mixtures. Mutat Res 2009; 671:67-75.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) produced upon incomplete combustion of organic matter are suspected to be carcinogenic to humans. In the present work, we especially studied the genotoxicity of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), pure or in mixtures, with emphasis placed on the contribution of oxidative stress and alkylation. A comparison was made between the extent of DNA strand breaks as determined by the Comet assay and the number of DNA adducts to the diol epoxide metabolite of B[a]P measured by HPLC-mass spectrometry. HepG2 cultured human hepatocytes were treated with either pure B[a]P or particulate matter extracted from air samples collected in an urban peri-industrial site or in a metallurgic plant. Treatment with pure B[a]P did not induce increase in Comet measurements below a concentration of 1 microM whereas adducts were observed for concentrations as low as 0.025 microM. Very different results were obtained with environmental samples. Increase in the Comet score was observed with both urban and industrial mixtures containing 0.16 microM of B[a]P, especially for samples of urban origin. Comparison with the effect of the reconstituted PAH fraction of the mixtures allowed us to conclude that the induction of strand breaks results from the action of other components of the samples. In addition, a 30% potentialization and a 90% inhibition in the level of DNA adducts with respect to exposure to 0.16 microM pure B[a]P were observed for cells exposed to industrial and urban mixtures, respectively. These results contrast with the 6-fold enhancement in the yield of BPDE adducts in cells exposed to the reconstituted PAH fraction with respect to pure BaP. Altogether, our data emphasize that (i) a combination of analytical approaches is required to assess the genotoxicity of complex mixtures and (ii) risk assessment based on additivity consideration such as toxic equivalent factors may be misleading.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical impedimetric immunosensor based on O-carboxymethylchitosan surface modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (denoted as OCMCS-Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles) was developed for rapid detection of Campylobacter jejuni, which is becoming the most common cause of gastroenteritis in developed countries and raising major public health concerns worldwide. In the present study, anti-FlaA monoclonal antibodies 2D12 (denoted as 2D12McAbs) were immobilized on OCMCS-Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles. The detection was performed by measuring relative change in impedance before and after 2D12McAbs-Campylobacter jejuni reaction with the technique of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Under the optimized conditions, the relative change in impedance was proportional to the logarithmic value of Campylobacter jejuni concentrations in the range of 1.0x10(3) to 1.0x10(7) CFU/mL (r=0.991). The advantages of the OCMCS-Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticle-based immunosensor are simplicity of use, fast response, wide linear range, acceptable reproducibility and long stability. Moreover, the immunosensor could be regenerated by being treated with glycine-HCl buffer solution (pH 2.8). We demonstrate the convenient application of the novel immunosensor for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni in diarrhea patients' stool samples.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) o-quinones produced by aldo-keto reductases are ligands for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) (Burczynski, M. E., and Penning, T. M. (2000) Cancer Res. 60, 908-915). They induce oxidative DNA lesions (reactive oxygen species-mediated DNA strand breaks and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dGuo) formation) in human lung cells. We tested whether the AhR enhances PAH o-quinone-mediated oxidative DNA damage by translocating these ligands to the nucleus. Using the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay to detect DNA strand breaks in murine hepatoma Hepa1c1c7 cells and its AhR- and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-deficient variants, benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dione (B[a]P-7,8-dione) produced fewer DNA strand breaks in AhR-deficient cells compared with aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-deficient and wild type Hepa1c1c7 cells. Decreased DNA strand breaks were also observed in human bronchoalveolar H358 cells in which the AhR was silenced by siRNA. The antioxidant alpha-tocopherol and the iron chelator/antioxidant desferal decreased the formation of B[a]P-7,8-dione-mediated DNA strand breaks indicating that they were reactive oxygen species-dependent. By coupling the comet assay to 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (hOGG1), which excises 8-oxo-Gua, strand breaks dependent upon this lesion were measured. hOGG1 treatment produced more DNA single strand breaks in B[a]P-7,8-dione-treated Hepa cells and H358 cells than in its absence. The levels of hOGG1-dependent DNA strand breaks mediated by B[a]P-7,8-dione were lower in AhR-deficient Hepa and AhR knockdown H358 cells. The AhR antagonist alpha-naphthoflavone also attenuated B[a]P-7,8-dione-mediated DNA strand breaks. The decrease in 8-oxo-dGuo levels in AhR-deficient Hepa cells and AhR knockdown H358 cells was validated by immunoaffinity capture stable isotope dilution ([(15)N(5)]8-oxo-dGuo) liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/multiple reaction monitoring/mass spectrometry. We conclude that the AhR shuttles PAH o-quinone genotoxins to the nucleus and enhances oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
Mutation in p53 tumor suppressor gene is a hallmark of human cancers. Six major mutational hotspots in p53 contain methylated CpG (mCpG) sites, and C →T transition is the most common mutation at these sites. It was hypothesized that the formation of 5-methylcytosine glycol induced by reactive oxygen species, its spontaneous deamination to thymine glycol and the miscoding property of the latter may account, in part, for the ubiquitous C →T mutation at CpG site. Here, we assessed the kinetics of deamination for two diastereomers of 5-methylcytosine glycol in duplex DNA. Our results revealed that the half-lives for the deamination of the (5S,6S) and (5R,6R) diastereomers of 5-methylcytosine glycol in duplex DNA at 37°C were 37.4 ± 1.6 and 27.4 ± 1.0 h, respectively. The deamination rates were only slightly lower than those for the two diastereomers in mononucleosides. Next, we assessed the formation of 5-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine glycol in the form of its deaminated product, namely, thymidine glycol (Tg), in methyl-CpG-bearing duplex DNA treated with Cu(II)/H2O2/ascorbate. LC-MS/MS quantification results showed that the yield of Tg is similar as that of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2′-deoxycytidine. Together, our data support that the formation and deamination of 5-methylcytosine glycol may contribute significantly to the C →T transition mutation at mCpG dinucleotide site.
