Abstract
Guanine oxidation occurs in both DNA and the cellular nucleotide pool, and one of the major products is 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine). The mutagenic potentials of this oxidized base have been examined in various experimental systems. In this review, we summarize the mutagenicity of the base in mammalian cells. We also describe the effects of specialized DNA polymerases, DNA repair proteins, and nucleotide pool sanitization enzymes.

Abstract
Oxidative stress to DNA from smoking was investigated in one randomized smoking cessation study and in 36 cohort studies from excretion of urinary 8-oxo-7-hydrodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). Meta-analysis of the 36 cohort studies showed smoking associated with a 15.7% (95% CL 11.0:20.3, p < 0.0001) increased oxidative stress to DNA, in agreement with the reduction of oxidative stress to DNA found in the smoking cessation study. Meta-analysis of the 22 studies that used chromatography methodology on 1709 persons showed a significant 29.3% increase in smokers (95% CL 17.3;41.3), but meta-analysis of 14 studies on 3668 persons using ELISA methodology showed a non-significant effect of 8.7% [95% CL -1.2;18.6]. Tobacco smoke induces oxidative damage to DNA; however, this is not detected with ELISA methodology. Currently, the use of existing ELISA methodology to measure urinary excretion of 8-oxo-7-hydrodeoxyguanosine cannot be recommended.

Abstract
The formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (G(O), 8-hydroxyguanine) in DNA and in the nucleotide pool results in G:C→T:A and A:T→C:G substitution mutations, respectively, since G(O) can pair with both C and A. In this study, the role of DNA polymerase κ in the mutagenicity of G(O) was investigated, using a supF shuttle plasmid propagated in human U2OS cells. This translesion synthesis DNA polymerase was knocked down by siRNA, and plasmid DNAs containing G(O):C and G(O):A pairs were transfected into the knock-down cells. The supF plasmid DNAs replicated in the cells were then introduced into Escherichia coli. Mutation analyses indicated that the knock-down of DNA polymerase κ by siRNA decreased the frequency of G:C→T:A mutation caused by G(O):C, although no effects of the DNA polymerase κ reduction were observed for the A:T→C:G substitution induced by G(O):A. These results suggested that DNA polymerase κ is involved in the mutagenic bypass of G(O) in living human cells, when the damaged base is generated by direct DNA oxidation.

Effects of base excision repair proteins on mutagenesis by 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-hydroxyguanine) paired with cytosine and adenine. DNA Repair (Amst) 2010; 9:542-50.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxo-Gua, also known as 8-hydroxyguanine) is a major base lesion that is generated by reactive oxygen species in both the DNA and nucleotide pool. The role of DNA glycosylases, which initiate base excision repair, in the mutagenic processes of 8-oxo-Gua in DNA and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-oxo-dGTP, also known as 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate) were investigated using supF shuttle plasmids propagated in human cells. The DNA glycosylases, OGG1, MUTYH, NTH1, and NEIL1, in 293T cells were individually knocked-down by siRNAs and plasmid DNAs containing an 8-oxo-Gua:C/8-oxo-Gua:A pair, and 8-oxo-dGTP plus unmodified plasmid DNA were then introduced into the knocked-down cells. The knock-down of OGG1, MUTYH, NTH1, and NEIL1 resulted in a significant increase in G:C-->T:A transversions caused by the 8-oxo-Gua:C pair in the shuttle plasmid. The knock-down of MUTYH resulted in a reduction in A:T-->C:G transversions induced by 8-oxo-dGTP and the 8-oxo-Gua:A pair, but the knockdown of OGG1, NTH1, and NEIL1 had no effect on mutagenesis. These results indicate that all of the above DNA glycosylases suppress mutations caused by 8-oxo-Gua:C in DNA. In contrast, it appears that MUTYH enhances A:T-->C:G mutations caused by 8-oxo-dGTP.

Abstract
The mutagenicity of an oxidized form of dGTP, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-OH-dGTP), was examined using human 293T cells. Shuttle plasmid DNA containing the supF gene was first transfected into the cells, and then 8-OH-dGTP was introduced by means of osmotic pressure. The DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and then transfected into Escherichia coli. 8-OH-dGTP induced A:T-->C:G substitution mutations in the cells. The knock-downs of DNA polymerases eta and zeta, and REV1 by siRNAs reduced the A:T-->C:G substitution mutations, suggesting that these DNA polymerases are involved in the misincorporation of 8-OH-dGTP opposite A in human cells. In contrast, the knock-down of DNA polymerase iota did not affect the 8-OH-dGTP-induced mutations. The decrease in the induced mutation frequency was more evident by double knock-downs of DNA pols eta plus zeta and REV1 plus DNA pol zeta (but not by that of DNA pol eta plus REV1), suggesting that REV1-DNA pol eta and DNA pol zeta work in different steps. These results indicate that specialized DNA polymerases are involved in the mutagenesis induced by the oxidized dGTP.

Abstract
Oxidized RNA precursors formed in the nucleotide pool may be incorporated into RNA. In this study, the incorporation of 8-hydroxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-OH-GTP; 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine 5'-triphosphate) into RNA by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase was examined in vitro, using a primer RNA and a template DNA with defined sequences. 8-OH-GTP was incorporated opposite C and A in the template DNA. Surprisingly, 8-OH-GTP was quite efficiently incorporated by the bacterial RNA polymerase, in contrast to the incorporation of the 2'-deoxyribo counterpart by DNA polymerases, as indicated by the kinetic parameters. The primer was further extended by the addition of a ribonucleotide complementary to the nucleobase adjacent to C or A (the nucleobase opposite which 8-OH-GTP was inserted). Thus, the incorporation of 8-OH-GTP did not completely inhibit further RNA chain elongation. 8-OH-GTP was also incorporated opposite C and A by human RNA polymerase II. These results suggest that 8-OH-GTP in the nucleotide pool can cause the formation of oxidized RNA and disturb the transmittance of genetic information.

Abstract
The genome and its nucleotide precursor pool are under sustained attack by radiation, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, chemical carcinogens, hydrolytic reactions, and certain drugs. As a result, a large and heterogeneous population of damaged nucleotides forms in all cells. Some of the lesions are repaired, but for those that remain, there can be serious biological consequences. For example, lesions that form in DNA can lead to altered gene expression, mutation, and death. This perspective examines systems developed over the past 20 years to study the biological properties of single DNA lesions.

Abstract
Oxidatively damaged DNA precursors (deoxyribonucleotides) are formed by reactive oxygen species. After the damaged DNA precursors are incorporated into DNA, they might be removed by DNA repair enzymes. In this study, to examine whether a nucleotide excision repair enzyme, Escherichia coli UvrABC, could suppress the mutations induced by oxidized deoxyribonucleotides in vivo, oxidized DNA precursors, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate and 2-hydroxy-2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate, were introduced into uvrA, uvrB, and uvrC E. coli strains, and mutations in the chromosomal rpoB gene were analyzed. Unexpectedly, these oxidized DNA precursors induced mutations only slightly in the uvrA and uvrB strains. In contrast, effect of the uvrC-deficiency was not observed. Next, mutT, mutT/uvrA, and mutT/uvrB E. coli strains were treated with H2O2, and the rpoB mutant frequencies were calculated. The frequency of the H2O2-induced mutations was increased in all of the strains tested; however, the increase was three- to four-fold lower in the mutT/uvrA and mutT/uvrB strains than in the mutT strain. Thus, UvrA and UvrB are involved in the enhancement, but not in the suppression, of the mutations induced by these oxidized deoxyribonucleotides. These results suggest a novel role for UvrA and UvrB in the processing of oxidative damage.

Abstract
The mutagenicity of an oxidized form of dGTP, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate (8-OH-dGTP), was examined using COS-7 cells. 8-OH-dGTP and supF shuttle plasmid DNA were cointroduced by means of cationic liposomes, and the DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and then transfected into Escherichia coli. 8-OH-dGTP induced A:T-->C:G substitution mutations in the COS-7 cells. This result agrees with previous observations indicating that DNA polymerases misincorporate 8-OH-dGTP opposite A in vitro, and that the oxidized deoxyribonucleotide induces A:T-->C:G transversions in E. coli. These results constitute the first direct evidence to show that 8-OH-dGTP actually induces mutations in living mammalian cells.

Abstract
We introduce a method to follow DNA repair that is suitable for both clinical and laboratory samples. An episomal construct with a unique 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) base at a defined position was prepared in vitro using single-stranded phage harboring a 678-bp tract from exons 5 to 9 of the human P53 gene. Mixing curve experiments showed that the real-time PCR method has a linear response to damage, suggesting that it is useful for DNA repair studies. The episomal construct with a unique 8-oxoG base was introduced into AD293 cells or human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and plasmids were recovered as a function of time. The quantitative real-time PCR assay demonstrated that repair of the 8-oxoG was 80% complete in less than 48 h in AD293 cells. Transfection of small interfering RNAs down-regulated OGG1 expression in AD293 cells and reduced the repair of 8-oxoG to 30%. Transfection of the episome into unstimulated white blood cells showed that 8-oxoG repair had a half-life of 2 to 5h. This method is a rapid, reproducible, and robust way to monitor repair of specific adducts in virtually any cell type.

Abstract
Members of the NBS-LRR gene family impart resistance to a wide variety of pathogens and are often found clustered within a plant genome. This clustering of homologous sequences can complicate PCR-based characterizations, especially the study of transgenes. We have developed allele-specific PCR and RT-PCR assays for the potato late blight resistance gene RB. Our assay utilizes two approaches toward primer design, allowing discrimination between the RB transgene and both the endogenous RB gene and numerous RB homeologs. First, a reverse primer was designed to take advantage of an indel present in the RB transgene but absent in rb susceptibility alleles, enhancing specificity for the transgene, though not fully discriminating against RB homeologs. Second, a forward primer was designed according to the principles of mismatch amplification mutation assay (MAMA) PCR, targeting SNPs introduced during the cloning of RB. Together, the indel reverse primer and the MAMA forward primer provide an assay that is highly specific for the RB transgene, being capable of distinguishing the transgene from all RB endogenous gene copies and from all RB paralogs in a diverse collection of wild and cultivated potato genotypes. These primers have been successfully multiplexed with primers of an internal control. The multiplexed assay is useful for both PCR and RT-PCR applications. Double MAMA-PCR, in which both PCR primers target separate transgene-specific SNPs, was also tested and shown to be equally specific for the RB transgene. We propose extending the use of MAMA for the characterization of resistance transgenes.

Abstract
Thymidine glycol (Tg), which is also known as 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine, and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) are two major types of DNA damage products induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we report the synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing both Tg and 8-oxodG. The dual incorporation of the two single-base lesions was achieved by using a phosphoramidite building block of 8-oxodG with ultramild base protecting group and a building block of Tg whose nucleobase hydroxyl groups were protected with acetyl functionality. The availability of ODNs carrying neighboring 8-oxodG and Tg provided authentic substrates for assessing the formation and examining the replication and repair of this kind of tandem lesions. In addition, thermodynamic parameters derived from melting temperature data revealed that tandem lesions destabilized the double helix to a greater extent than either of the two single-base lesions alone. The thermodynamic results could offer a basis for understanding the repair of the tandem base lesions.

Abstract
Investigations were carried out to determine whether both DNA strands involved in Escherichia coli chromosomal DNA replication are replicated with similar accuracy. Experiments consisted of measuring the forward mutation rate from tonB(+) to tonB(-) in pairs of polA deficient strains in which the chromosomal target gene tonB was oriented in the two possible directions relative to the origin of replication, oriC. Within these pairs, the tonB sequence would be subjected to leading strand replication in one orientation and to lagging strand replication in the other. The most common tonB mutations in the polA1 strain were deletions followed by frameshifts. Among the deletions, a strong hotspot site with a 13-base deletion in the polA1 strains accounted for 18 of the 33 deletions in the one orientation, and 31 of the 58 deletions in the other. The results suggested that the two strands were replicated with equal or similar accuracy for deletion formation.

Abstract
Oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing 8-hydroxyguanine and 2-hydroxyadenine, purine lesions produced in cells by reactive oxygen species, were synthesized and inserted into vector DNAs to introduce each lesion at a predetermined site. The manipulated DNAs were transfected into living cells, and the mutants induced by each DNA lesion were collected and analyzed. In addition, the mutations induced by damaged DNA precursors with the two oxidized purine bases were studied by the use of chemically synthesized nucleoside triphosphates. In this review article, the author summarizes the mutagenic potentials of the two oxidized purine bases, by focusing on experiments examined by the author and his collaborators.

Abstract
DNA and DNA precursors (deoxyribonucleotides) suffer damage by reactive oxygen/nitrogen species. They are important mutagens for organisms, due to their endogenous formation. Damaged DNA and nucleotides cause alterations of the genetic information by the mispairing properties of the damaged bases, such as 8-hydroxyguanine (7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine) and 2-hydroxyadenine. Here, the author reviews the mutagenic potentials of damaged bases in DNA and of damaged DNA precursors formed by reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, focusing on the results obtained with synthetic oligonucleotides and 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphates.

Abstract
Oxidatively damaged thymine, 5-formyluracil (5-fU), was incorporated into a predetermined site of double-stranded shuttle vectors. The nucleotide sequences in which the modified base was incorporated were 5'-CFTAAG-3' and 5'-CTFAAG-3' (F represents 5-fU), the recognition site for the restriction enzyme AflII (5'-CTTAAG-3'). The 5-fU was incorporated into a template strand of either the leading or lagging strand of DNA replication. The modified DNAs were transfected into simian COS-7 cells, and the DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and were analyzed after the second transfection into Escherichia coli. The 5-fU did not block DNA replication in mammalian cells. The 5-fU residues were weakly mutagenic, and their mutation frequencies in double-stranded vectors were 0.01-0.04%. The T --> G and T --> A transversions were the mutations found most frequently, suggesting the formation of 5-fU.C and 5-fU.T base pairs, respectively. This is the first report that clearly shows the induction of transversion mutations by an oxidized pyrimidine base in DNA in mammalian cells.

Abstract
We investigated the thermodynamic stability of double-stranded DNAs with an oxidative DNA lesion, 2-hydroxyadenine (2-OH-Ade), in two different sequence contexts (5'-GA*C-3' and 5'-TA*A-3', A* represents 2-OH-Ade). When an A*-N pair (N, any nucleotide base) was located in the center of a duplex, the thermodynamic stabilities of the duplexes were similar for all the natural bases except A (N = T, C and G). On the other hand, for the duplexes with the A*-N pair at the end, which mimic the nucleotide incorporation step, the stabilities of the duplexes were dependent on their sequence. The order of stability is T > G > C >> A in the 5'-GA*C-3' sequences and T > A > C > G in the 5'-TA*A-3' sequences. Because T/G/C and T/A are nucleotides incorporated opposite to 2-OH-Ade in the 5'-GA*C-3' and 5'-TA*A-3' sequences, respectively, these results agree with the tendency of mutagenic misincorporation of the nucleotides opposite to 2-OH-Ade in vitro. Thus, the thermodynamic stability of the A*-N base pair may be an important factor for the mutation spectra of 2-OH-Ade.

Abstract
A large proportion of human cancers result from exposure of individuals to environmental or occupational carcinogens. The early detection of carcinogen-induced mutations is a prerequisite for the identification of individuals at risk for developing cancer. Short G-rich repetitive sequences have been previously identified as hot-spots for frameshift mutagenesis induced by a large variety of carcinogens belonging to several families of widespread environmental pollutants. In order to test if these sequences, when mutated, might serve as biomarkers for carcinogen exposure, we designed a sensitive PCR-based strategy that allows the detection of rare mutational events within a whole genome. 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo(4,5-b)pyridine (PhIP), the most abundant carcinogenic heterocyclic amine generated in cooked meat, induces mammary and colon carcinoma in F344 rats. About 25% of male rats exposed to 400 p.p.m. PhIP in the diet for >43 weeks present colon tumors with specific -1G mutations within 5'-GGGA-3' sequences of the APC: gene. Using our PCR assay we have assessed the occurrence of such specific events in rats exposed to PhIP for only 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks. A specific amplification signal was already observed in the 1 week-treated population and increases in a treatment time-dependent manner. These data validate this approach for the early detection of mutations and demonstrate its usefulness for molecular epidemiology and early diagnosis.

Abstract
To test the possibility that the Escherichia coli MutY or MutM protein acts as a 2-hydroxyadenine (2-OH-Ade) glycosylase, we treated double-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing 2-OH-Ade with the E. coli MutY or MutM protein in vitro. We found that a strand with 2-OH-Ade was a very poor substrate of MutY, irrespective of the base in the complementary strand. Moreover, a strand containing adenine or guanine opposite 2-OH-Ade was also rarely cleaved by MutY. The cleavage of oligonucleotides with 2-OH-Ade by MutM was not observed. These results indicate that neither MutY nor MutM plays an important role in the removal of 2-OH-Ade from DNA.

Abstract
A major pathway of mutagenesis in Escherichia coli is mediated by the inducible SOS response. Current models of SOS mutagenesis invoke the interaction of RecA and UmuD'(2)C proteins with a stalled DNA replication complex at sites of DNA lesions or poorly extendable terminal mismatches, resulting in an (error-prone) continuation of DNA synthesis. The precise mechanisms of SOS-mediated lesion bypass or mismatch extension are not known. Here, we have studied mutagenesis on the E. coli chromosome in recA730 strains. In recA730 strains, the SOS system is expressed constitutively, resulting in a spontaneous mutator effect (SOS mutator) because of reduced replication fidelity. We investigated whether during SOS mutator activity replication fidelity might be altered differentially in the leading and lagging strand of replication. Pairs of recA730 strains were constructed differing in the orientation of the lac operon relative to the origin of replication. The strains were also mismatch-repair defective (mutL) to facilitate scoring of replication errors. Within each pair, a given lac sequence is replicated by the leading-strand machinery in one orientation and by the lagging-strand machinery in the other orientation. Measurements of defined lac mutant frequencies in such pairs revealed large differences between the two orientations. Furthermore, in all cases, the frequency bias was the opposite of that seen in normal cells. We suggest that, for the lacZ target used in this study, SOS mutator activity operates with very different efficiency in the two strands. Specifically, the lagging strand of replication appears most susceptible to the SOS mutator effect.

Abstract
Carcinogens are generally mutagens, which is understandable given that tumor cells grow uncontrollably because they have mutations in critical genes involved in growth control. Carcinogens often induce a complex pattern of mutations (e.g., GC-->TA, GC-->AT, etc.). These mutations are thought to be initiated when a DNA polymerase encounters a carcinogen-DNA adduct during replication. In principle, mutational complexity could be due to either a collection of different adducts each inducing a single kind of mutation (Hypothesis 1a), or a single adduct inducing different kinds of mutations (Hypothesis 1b). Examples of each are discussed. Regarding Hypothesis 1b, structural factors (e.g., DNA sequence context) and biological factors (e.g., differing DNA polymerases) that can affect the pattern of adduct mutagenesis are discussed. This raises the question: how do structural and biological factors influence the pattern of adduct mutagenesis. For structural factors, three possibilities are considered: (Hypothesis 2a) a single conformation of an adduct giving rise to multiple mutations -- dNTP insertion by DNA polymerase being influenced by (e.g.) the surrounding DNA sequence context; (Hypothesis 2b) a variation on this ("dislocation mutagenesis"); or (Hypothesis 2c) a single adduct adopting multiple conformations, each capable of giving a different pattern of mutations. Hypotheses 2a, 2b and 2c can each in principle rationalize many mutational results, including how the pattern of adduct mutagenesis might be influenced by factors, such as DNA sequence context. Five lines of evidence are discussed suggesting that Hypothesis 2c can be correct for base substitution mutagenesis. For example, previous work from our laboratory was interpreted to indicate that [+ta]-B[a]P-N(2)-dG in a 5'-CGG sequence context (G115) could be trapped in a conformation giving predominantly G-->T mutations, but heating caused the adduct to equilibrate to its thermodynamic mixture of conformations, leading to a decrease in the fraction of G-->T mutations. New work is described suggesting that [+ta]-B[a]P-N(2)-dG at G115 can also be trapped predominantly in the G-->A mutational conformation, from which equilibration can also occur, leading to an increase in the fraction of G-->T mutations. Evidence is also presented that the fraction of G-->T mutations is higher when [+ta]-B[a]P-N(2)-dG at G115 is in ss-DNA ( approximately 89%) vs. ds-DNA ( approximately 66%), a finding that can be rationalized if the mixture of adduct conformations is different in ss- and ds-DNA. In summary, the factors affecting adduct mutagenesis are reviewed and five lines of evidence that support one hypothesis (2c: adduct conformational complexity can cause adduct mutational complexity) are discussed.

Abstract
Replication through a single DNA lesion may give rise to a panel of translesion synthesis (TLS) events, which comprise error-free TLS, base substitutions and frameshift mutations. In order to determine the genetic control of the various TLS events induced by a single lesion, we have chosen the major N2-dG adduct of (+)-anti-Benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxide [(+)-anti-BPDE] adduct located within a short run of guanines as a model lesion. Within this sequence context, in addition to the major event, i.e. error-free TLS, the adduct also induces base substitutions (mostly G --> T transversions) and -1 frameshift mutations. The pathway leading to G --> T base substitution mutagenesis appears to be SOS independent, suggesting that TLS is most probably performed by the replicative Pol III holoenzyme itself. In contrast, both error-free and frameshift TLS pathways are dependent upon SOS-encoded functions that belong to the pool of inducible DNA polymerases specialized in TLS (translesional DNA polymerases), namely umuDC (Pol V) and dinB (Pol IV). It is likely that, given the diversity of conformations that can be adopted by lesion-containing replication intermediates, cells use one or several translesional DNA polymerases to achieve TLS.

Abstract
The dinB gene of Escherichia coli is known to be involved in the untargeted mutagenesis of lambda phage. Recently, we have demonstrated that this damage-inducible and SOS-controlled gene encodes a novel DNA polymerase, DNA Pol IV, which is able to dramatically increase the untargeted mutagenesis of F' plasmid. At the amino acid level, DNA Pol IV shares sequence homologies with E. coli UmuC (DNA Pol V), Rev1p, and Rad30p (DNA polymerase eta) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human Rad30A (XPV) proteins, all of which are involved in translesion DNA synthesis. To better characterize the Pol IV-dependent untargeted mutagenesis, i.e., the DNA Pol IV mutator activity, we analyzed the genetic requirements of this activity and determined the forward mutation spectrum generated by this protein within the cII gene of lambda phage. The results indicated that the DNA Pol IV mutator activity is independent of polA, polB, recA, umuDC, uvrA, and mutS functions. The analysis of more than 300 independent mutations obtained in the wild-type or mutS background revealed that the mutator activity clearly promotes single-nucleotide substitutions as well as one-base deletions in the ratio of about 1:2. The base changes were strikingly biased for substitutions toward G:C base pairs, and about 70% of them occurred in 5'-GX-3' sequences, where X represents the base (T, A, or C) that is mutated to G. These results are discussed with respect to the recently described biochemical characteristics of DNA Pol IV.

Abstract
The accumulation of genetic changes is considered as the main factor that determines the development of cancer. Recent progresses in genetics and molecular biology led to the discovery of many new molecular markers and to the development of techniques able to monitor these markers. As a consequence, molecular epidemiology has emerged as a powerful approach to study the ternary relationship between the environment, the behaviour and the genetic predisposition of each individual. Susceptibility to cancer is determined at different levels such as the genetic polymorphism of enzymes involved in the activation and detoxification of carcinogens, the polymorphism of genes that maintains the genome stability, like those involved in DNA repair or recombination processes, and finally the polymorphism in oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes. Consequently, the full assessment of each individual's genetic predisposition is a long and difficult task. As the accumulation of mutations in somatic cells integrates all these parameters, its measurement would facilitate the evaluation of the individual predisposition status, provided that a marker common to a large spectrum of carcinogens could be found. Our current studies on the molecular mechanisms of carcinogen-induced mutagenesis has revealed that G-rich repetitive sequences are mutational hot spots for several major classes of environmental genotoxins such as aromatic and heterocyclic amines, polycyclic hydrocarbons and oxidative agents. We thus consider the possibility that these sequences form a new class of biomarkers for carcinogen exposure. In order to validate this hypothesis, we designed a sensitive PCR-based assay able to detect specific mutations induced by a common food-borne carcinogen in the colon epithelium of rats exposed for a short period to this carcinogen. This assay is sensitive enough to allow early detection of induced mutations and therefore allows to differentiate between unexposed animal and those exposed for a period as short as 1 week.

Abstract
Base excision repair (BER) is a very important repair mechanism to cope with oxidative DNA damage. One of the most predominating oxidative DNA damages after exposure to ionizing radiation is 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8oxoG). This damage is repaired by formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg), a DNA glycosylase which is part of BER. Correct repair of 8oxoG is of great importance for cells, because 8oxoG has strong miscoding properties. Mispairing of 8oxoG with adenine instead of cytosine results in G:C to T:A transversion mutations. To determine the effect of a Fpg-deficiency on the spontaneous and gamma-radiation-induced mutation spectrum in the lacZ gene, double-stranded (ds) M13 DNA, with the lacZalpha gene inserted as mutational target, was irradiated with gamma-rays in aqueous solution under oxic conditions. Subsequently, the DNA was transfected into a wild-type Escherichia coli strain (JM105) and an isogenic Fpg-deficient E. coli strain (BH410). Although the overall spontaneous mutation spectra between JM105 and BH410 seemed similar, remarkable differences could be observed when the individual base pair substitutions were viewed. The amount of C to A transversions, which are most probably caused by unrepaired 8oxoG, has increased 3. 5-fold in the spontaneous BH410 spectrum. When the gamma-radiation-induced mutation spectra of JM105 and BH410 were compared, there was even a larger increase of C to A transversions in the BH410 strain (7-fold). We can therefore conclude that the straightforward approach used in this study confirms the importance of Fpg in repair of gamma-radiation-induced damage, and most probably especially in the repair of 8oxoG.

Abstract
8-Hydroxyguanine is one of the major products formed by the reactive oxygen species which are generated in living cells as a consequence of either the normal metabolic pathways or an exogeneous chemical or physical stress. The production of the oxidative damage is described and the different repair pathways of the oxidative lesions are analyzed from bacteria to human cells. Analysis of repair in human cells harboring different deficiencies in the nucleotide excision repair mechanism such as xeroderma pigmentosum cells from different complementation groups and cells from Cockayne's syndrome patients allows us to emphasize the possibility of the intervention of this repair mechanism on the elimination of oxidative damages. Finally, a repair model of oxidative lesions is proposed.

Abstract
Nucleotide excision repair is both a 'wide spectrum' DNA repair pathway and the sole system for repairing bulky damages such as UV lesions or benzo[a]pyrene adducts. The mechanisms of nucleotide excision repair are known in considerable detail in Escherichia coli. Similarly, in the past 5 years important advances have been made towards understanding the biochemical mechanisms of excision repair in humans. The overall strategy of the repair is the same in the two species: damage recognition through a multistep mechanism involving a molecular matchmaker and an ATP-dependent unwinding of the damaged duplex; dual incisions at both sides of the lesion by two different nucleases, the 3' incision being followed by the 5'; removal of the damaged oligomer; resynthesis of the repair patch, whose length matches the gap size. Despite these similarities, the two systems are biochemically different and do not even share structural homology. E. coli excinuclease employs three proteins in contrast to 16/17 polypeptides in man; the excised fragment is longer in man: the procaryotic excinuclease is not able by itself to remove the excised oligomer whereas the human enzyme does. Thus, the excinuclease mode of action is well conserved throughout evolution, but not the biochemical tools: this represents a case of evolutionary convergence.

Abstract
We have investigated the question whether during chromosomal DNA replication in Escherichia coli the two DNA strands may be replicated with differential accuracy. This possibility of differential replication fidelity arises from the distinct modes of replication in the two strands, one strand (the leading strand) being synthesized continuously, the other (the lagging strand) discontinuously in the form of short Okazaki fragments. We have constructed a series of lacZ strains in which the lac operon is inserted into the bacterial chromosome in the two possible orientations with regard to the chromosomal replication origin oriC. Measurement of lac reversion frequencies for the two orientations, under conditions in which mutations reflect replication errors, revealed distinct differences in mutability between the two orientations. As gene inversion causes a switching of leading and lagging strands, these findings indicate that leading and lagging strand replication have differential fidelity. Analysis of the possible mispairs underlying each specific base pair substitution suggests that the lagging strand replication on the E. coli chromosome may be more accurate than leading strand replication.

Abstract
Oxygen radicals are known to play a role in causing cellular DNA damage, which is involved in carcinogenesis. 8-Hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) is a major form of oxidative DNA damage and is known as a useful marker of DNA oxidation. Recently, we found another type of oxidative DNA damage, 2-hydroxyadenine (2-OH-Ade), which has a mutation frequency comparable to that of 8-OH-Gua. We compared the repair activities for two types of oxidative DNA damage, 8-OH-Gua and 2-OH-Ade, in 7-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat organs. The repair activities were measured by an endonuclease nicking assay using 22 mer [32P]-end-labeled double-stranded DNA substrates, which contained either 8-OH-Gua (opposite C) or 2-OH-Ade (opposite T or C). In all of the SD rat organs we studied, the nicking activity for 2-OH-Ade was not detected, while that for 8-OH-Gua was clearly detected with the same conditions. Moreover, the 2-OH-Ade nicking activity was not induced in Wistar rat kidney extracts prepared after ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA) treatment, which is known to increase 8-OH-Gua repair activity. These results suggest that 2-OH-Ade might not be repaired by the glycosylase type mechanism in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Two major ultraviolet-induced photolesions of TpT, a (6-4) photoproduct [T(6-4)T] and a cis-syn cyclobutane TT dimer (T=T), were incorporated into a predetermined site of one of the leading and lagging template strands of a double-stranded vector, and the modified DNAs were transfected into simian COS-7 cells. The DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and were transfected again into Escherichia coli. The DNA replication efficiencies of plasmids containing T(6-4)T and T=T in the template strand for lagging strand synthesis were 93 and 79%, respectively, as compared with the unmodified DNA. Similar inhibitory effects were observed in the cases of the photoproducts in the template strand for leading strand synthesis (71 and 58%, respectively). These results indicated that T(6-4)T blocked DNA replication more weakly than T=T during leading and lagging strand syntheses in mammalian cells. The mutation frequencies of T(6-4)T were 2.3 and 4.7% in the leading and lagging template strands, respectively. The T=T lesion was less mutagenic and induced mutations with 0.2-0.7% frequencies. The T(6-4)T lesion primarily elicited 3'-T-->C substitutions, and T=T induced various types of mutations. These results indicate that T(6-4)T is more mutagenic than T=T during leading and lagging strand syntheses in simian cells. Moreover, this is the first evidence that shows T(6-4)T mainly elicits targeted substitutions at its 3'-T site in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species are formed constantly in living organisms, as products of the normal metabolism, or as a result of many different environmental influences. Here we review the knowledge of formation of DNA damage, the mutations caused by reactive oxygen species and the role of the excision repair processes, that protect the organism from oxidative DNA damage. In particular, we have focused on recent studies that demonstrate the important role of nucleotide excision repair. We propose two major roles of nucleotide excision repair as 1) a backup when base excision repair of small oxidative lesions becomes saturated, and as 2) a primary repair pathway for DNA damage produced by lipid peroxidation products.

Abstract
We have developed a new strategy for the evaluation of the mutagenicity of a damaged DNA precursor (deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate) in Escherichia coli. 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine triphosphate (8-OH-dGTP) and 2-hydroxydeoxyadenosine triphosphate (2-OH-dATP) were chosen for this study because they appear to be formed abundantly by reactive oxygen species in cells. We introduced the oxidatively damaged nucleotides into competent E. coli and selected mutants of the chromosomal lacI gene. Both damaged nucleotides induced lacI gene mutations in a dose-dependent manner, whereas unmodified dATP and dGTP did not appear to elicit the mutations. The addition of 50 nmol of 8-OH-dGTP and 2-OH-dATP into an E. coli suspension induced 12- and 9-fold more substitution mutations than the spontaneous event, respectively. The 8-OH-dGTP induced A.T --> C.G transversions, and the 2-OH-dATP elicited G.C --> T.A transversions. These results indicate that the two oxidatively damaged nucleotides are mutagenic in vivo and suggest that 8-OH-dGTP and 2-OH-dATP were incorporated opposite A and G residues, respectively, in the E. coli DNA. This new method enables the evaluation and comparison of the mutagenic potentials of damaged DNA precursors in vivo.

Abstract
An oxidatively damaged base, 2-hydroxyadenine (2-OH-Ade), was incorporated into a predetermined site of one of the strands {(+)- or (-)-strand} of the double-stranded shuttle vector, pSVK3, and the modified DNAs were transfected into simian COS-7 cells. The nucleotide sequences in which the modified base was incorporated were 5'-GTCGA*C and 5'-CTTA*AG (A* represents 2-OH-Ade). The former is the recognition site for the restriction enzyme SalI, and the latter is that for AflII. The DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and were transfected again into Escherichia coli. The DNAs recovered from the COS-7 cells transfected with a plasmid containing 2-OH-Ade at either site of the (+)-strand (a template strand for lagging strand synthesis) formed colonies about 50%-70% as frequently as the unmodified DNA. This indicated that the base weakly blocked DNA replication during lagging strand synthesis. On the other hand, the base in the (-)-strand did not appear to affect the efficiency of leading strand synthesis in COS-7 cells. The mutation frequencies of 2-OH-Ade in COS-7 cells were 0.6%-0.1%, depending on the sequence and the strand location. Although the mutation spectra of 2-OH-Ade also differed with sequences and strands, the base elicited substitution and deletion mutations in mammalian cells, as in E. coli. These results indicate that 2-OH-Ade is mutagenic in eukaryotic cells as well as in prokaryotic cells.

Abstract
By means of specific mutation assays, we show here that in vitro treatment of double-stranded plasmid DNA with methylene blue and white light efficiently promotes frameshift mutagenesis in Escherichia coli. The assays detect either -1 or -2 frameshift mutations within previously characterized hot spot sequences for frameshift mutagenesis induced by the chemical carcinogen N-2-acetylaminofluorene, namely, short runs of contiguous guanines and alternating GpC sequences, respectively. The SOS and umuDC dependences of these mutagenic processes have been investigated. Both -1 and -2 frameshift mutagenesis are increased when the host SOS functions are induced. However, and although functional UmuDC proteins are required for maximal mutation induction, the inducibility of both -1 and -2 frameshift mutagenesis is partially independent upon the integrity of the umuDC operon. In addition, results obtained using plasmids with a site specifically located 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dGuo) residue show that this lesion, the major methylene blue plus light induced lesion characterized so far, is inefficient in promoting frameshift mutagenesis. Together, these results led us to conclude that methylene blue plus light treatment of DNA induces, at relatively high rates, lesion(s) other than 8-oxo-dGuo, that efficiently promote(s) frameshift mutagenesis in E. coli.
