Abstract
The 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), an oxidized nucleoside of DNA, not only is a widely used biomarker for the measurement of endogenous oxidative DNA damage, but might also be a risk factor for many diseases including cancer. Elevated level of urinary 8-OHdG has been detected in patients with various malignancies. In the present study, the level of urinary 8-OHdG was examined in 116 Chinese children with acute leukemia (94 acute lymphoid leukemia, ALL, 22 acute myeloid leukemia, AML), and its correlation with urinary metal elements was investigated. Our result showed that the level of urinary 8-OHdG in children with acute leukemia before treatment was significantly elevated compared with that in normal controls (11.92 +/- 15.42 vs. 4.03 +/- 4.70 ng/mg creatinine, P < 0.05). In particular, urinary 8-OHdG was higher in children with acute leukemia aged under 3 years (20.86 +/- 21.75 ng/mg creatinine) than in those aged 3-15 years (8.09 +/- 9.65 ng/mg creatinine), whereas no differences were shown in terms of gender, parental smoking and education, household income, place of residence, and use of paracetamol. In addition, urinary 8-OHdG levels were similar among different subtypes of acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) patients. Furthermore, linear regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between urinary 8-OHdG and urinary Cr, but not Fe or As, in group aged <3 years compared with group aged 3-15 years (P = 0.041), indicating that the metal elements may be involved in increasing urinary 8-OHdG level in younger children with acute leukemia. Our results suggest that children with acute leukemia undergo an increased risk of oxidative DNA damage, which may be correlated with high level of Cr exposure in Chinese children with acute leukemia.

Abstract
Oxygen-derived free radicals play important roles in pathophysiological processes in critically ill patients, but the data characterizing relationships between radicals and neuroendocrine system response are sparse. To search the cue to reduce the oxidative cellular damage from the point of view of neuroendocrine system response, we studied the indicators of neuroendocrine and inflammatory responses excreted in urine in 14 burn patients (42.3 +/- 31.4 years old, and 32.3 +/- 27.6% burn of total body surface area [%TBSA]) during the first seven days post burn. The daily mean amounts of urinary excretion of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxy-guanosine (8-OHdG), a marker of oxidative cellular damage, were above the upper limit of the standard value during the studied period. The total amount of urinary excretion of 8-OHdG in the first day post burn correlated with burn severity indices: %TBSA (r = 0.63, p = 0.021) and burn index (r = 0.70, p = 0.008). The daily urinary excretion of 8-OHdG correlated with the daily urinary excretion of norepinephrine and nitrite plus nitrate (NOx) during the studied period except day 2 post burn, and correlated with the daily urinary excretion of 17-hydroxycorticosteriod (17-OHCS) in days 2, 3, and 7 post burn. These data suggest that oxidative cellular damage correlates with burn severity and neuroendocrine system response modulates inflammation and oxidative cellular damage. Modulation of neuroendocrine system response and inflammation in the treatment in the early phase of burn may be useful to reduce the oxidative cellular damage and to prevent multiple organ failures in patients with extensive burn.

Abstract
The specific light-induced, non-enzymatic photolysis of mOGG1 by porphyrin-conjugated or rose bengal-conjugated streptavidin and porphyrin-conjugated or rose bengal-conjugated first specific or secondary anti-IgG antibodies is reported. The porphyrin chlorin e6 and rose bengal were conjugated to either streptavidin, rabbit anti-mOGG1 primary specific antibody fractions or goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody fractions. Under our experimental conditions, visible light of wavelengths greater than 600 nm induced the non-enzymatic degradation of mOGG1 when this DNA repair enzyme either directly formed a complex with chlorin e6-conjugated anti-mOGG1 primary specific antibodies or indirectly formed complexes with either streptavidin-chlorin e6 conjugates and biotinylated first specific anti-mOGG1 antibodies or first specific anti-mOGG1 antibodies and chlorin e6-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibodies. Similar results were obtained when rose bengal was used as photosensitizer instead of chlorin e6. The rate of the photochemical reaction of mOGG1 site-directed by all three chlorin e6 antibody complexes was not affected by the presence of the singlet oxygen scavenger sodium azide. Site-directed photoactivatable probes having the capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) while destroying the DNA repair system in malignant cells and tumors may represent a powerful strategy to boost selectivity, penetration and efficacy of current photodynamic (PDT) therapy methodologies.

Abstract
8-Hydroxyguanine (8-OH-G) was discovered in 1983 in our laboratory at the National Cancer Center Research Institute, Tokyo. Since it could be formed in DNA not only in vitro but also in vivo by oxygen radical forming agents, we immediately hypothesized the importance of this discovery in connection with its biological consequence. Further intensive efforts by us from 1983 to 1990 confirmed that 8-OH-G is a highly significant oxidated DNA lesion involved in mutation and/or carcinogenesis in mammals, including humans. With the subsequent entry of many investigators to this research field the number of publications on 8-OH-G increased exponentially, reaching more than several thousands by the end of 2005. In this article, a summary is given of the important works carried out in the early days, and further notable contributions by many investigators are reviewed, focusing on 8-OH-G in the mammalian system. A special emphasis is given to research on knockout mice that are deficient in genes involved in the repair systems of the 8-OH-G lesion. Lastly, our own recent work is summarized involving a one-year carcinogenesis study of Ogg1 (the gene for 8-OH-G specific glycosylase/AP lyase) knockout mice that have been exposed to oxidative stress.

Abstract
We reported previously that KG-1, a human acute leukemia cell line, has mutational loss of 8-oxoguanine (8-hydroxyguanine; oh8Gua) glycosylase 1 (OGG1) activity and undergoes apoptotic death after treatment with 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodeoxyguanosine, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine; oh8dG). In our present study, we further characterized the effects of oh8dG in KG-1 cells and found that, in addition to apoptosis, oh8dG induced the arrest of KG-1 at the G1 phase. Simultaneously, oh8dG-treated KG-1 showed an increase in the oh8Gua content of DNA, upregulation of p21 (an inhibitor of cdk), and Ras inactivation. Moreover, the upregulation of p21 was followed by the inactivations of cdk4 and cdk2, the hypophosphorylation of Rb, and a marked decline in the expression of c-myc (a gene regulated by E2F that is a transcription factor whose activity is suppressed when it is bound to hypophosphorylated Rb). Ras inactivation was also followed by the inactivation of ERK kinase (MEK) and the inactivation of AP-1, a downstream target of the Ras signaling pathway. The specific MEK inhibitors, PD98059 and U0126, also induced G1 arrest. These findings suggest that p21 upregulation and Ras inactivation contribute to G1 arrest. An increase of oh8Gua content in DNA does not seem to be a principal contributor to G1 arrest, however, because the kinetics of increases of oh8Gua content in DNA and of G1 cell number did not coincide. We report that oh8dG induces the arrest of KG-1 growth at the G1 phase mainly by upregulating p21 and inactivating Ras.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) is a major DNA repair enzyme in mammalian cells. OGG1 participates in the repair of 8-oxoG, the most abundant known DNA lesion induced by endogenous reactive oxygen species in aerobic organisms. In this study, antibodies directed against purified recombinant human OGG1 (hOGG1) or murine (mOGG1) protein were chemically conjugated to either the photosensitizer Rose Bengal or the fluorescent dye Texas red. These dye-protein conjugates, in combination with binding assays, were used to identify associations between mOGG1 and the cytoskeleton of NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Results from these binding studies showed that mOGG1 associates with the cytoskeleton by specifically binding to the centriole and microtubules radiating from the centrosome at interphase and the spindle assembly at mitosis. Similar results were obtained with hOGG1. Together results reported in this study suggest that OGG1 is a microtubule-associated protein itself or that OGG1 utilizes yet to be identified motor proteins to ride on microtubules as tracks facilitating the movement and redistribution of cytoplasmic OGG1 pools during interphase and mitosis and in response to oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
The generation of reactive oxygen species may be both beneficial to cells, performing a function in inter- and intracellular signalling, and detrimental, modifying cellular biomolecules, accumulation of which has been associated with numerous diseases. Of the molecules subject to oxidative modification, DNA has received the greatest attention, with biomarkers of exposure and effect closest to validation. Despite nearly a quarter of a century of study, and a large number of base- and sugar-derived DNA lesions having been identified, the majority of studies have focussed upon the guanine modification, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG). For the most part, the biological significance of other lesions has not, as yet, been investigated. In contrast, the description and characterisation of enzyme systems responsible for repairing oxidative DNA base damage is growing rapidly, being the subject of intense study. However, there remain notable gaps in our knowledge of which repair proteins remove which lesions, plus, as more lesions identified, new processes/substrates need to be determined. There are many reports describing elevated levels of oxidatively modified DNA lesions, in various biological matrices, in a plethora of diseases; however, for the majority of these the association could merely be coincidental, and more detailed studies are required. Nevertheless, even based simply upon reports of studies investigating the potential role of 8-OH-dG in disease, the weight of evidence strongly suggests a link between such damage and the pathogenesis of disease. However, exact roles remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
OGG1 is a major DNA glycosylase in mammalian cells, participating in the repair of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoguanine, 8-oxoG), the most abundant known DNA lesion induced by endogenous reactive oxygen species in aerobic organisms. 8-oxoG is therefore often used as a marker for oxidative DNA damage. In this study, polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were raised against the purified wild-type recombinant murine 8-oxoG DNA glycosylase (mOGG1) protein and their specificity against the native enzyme and the SDS-denatured mOGG1 polypeptide were characterized. Specific antibodies directed against the purified wild-type recombinant mOGG1 were used to localize in situ this DNA repair enzyme in established cell lines (HeLa cells, NIH3T3 fibroblasts) as well as in primary culture mouse embryo fibroblasts growing under either normal or oxidative stress conditions. Results from these studies showed that mOGG1 is localized to the nucleus and the cytoplasm of mammalian cells in culture. However, mOGG1 levels increase and primarily redistribute to the nucleus and its peripheral cytoplasm in cells exposed to oxidative stress conditions. Immunofluorescent localization results reported in this study suggest that susceptibility to oxidative DNA damage varies among mammalian tissue culture cells and that mOGG1 appears to redistribute once mOGG1 cell copy number increases in response to oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoguanine; 8-oxo-G), one of the major oxidative DNA adducts, is highly susceptible to further oxidation by radicals. We confirmed the higher reactivity of 8-oxo-G toward reactive oxygen (singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical) or nitrogen (peroxynitrite) species as compared to unmodified base. In this study, we raised the question about the effect of this high reactivity toward radicals on intramolecular and intermolecular DNA damage. We found that the amount of intact nucleoside in oligodeoxynucleotide containing 8-oxo-G decreased more by various radicals at higher levels of 8-oxo-G incorporation, and that the oligodeoxynucleotide damage and plasmid cleavage by hydroxyl radical were inhibited in the presence of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG). We conclude that 8-oxo-G within DNA induces intramolecular DNA base damage, but that free 8-oxo-G protects intermolecular DNA from oxidative stress. These results suggest that 8-oxo-G within DNA must be rapidly released to protect DNA from overall oxidative damage.

Abstract
To study the status of oxidative DNA damage in Helicobacter pylori infection in more detail, we examined oxidative DNA damage to individual genes by determining the loss of PCR product of a targeted gene before and after gastric mucosal DNA was treated with 8-hydroxyguanine glycosylase, which cleaves DNA at the 8-hydroxyguanine residues. The results showed that, of the 5 genes tested, p53, insulin-like growth factor II receptor and transforming growth factor-beta receptor type II showed significant oxidative DNA damage in H. pylori-positive tissues and that the BAX and beta-ACTIN genes were relatively undamaged. These results suggest that in H. pylori infection, oxidative DNA damage does not occur homogeneously throughout the genomic DNA but, rather, in a gene-specific manner. We conclude that the progressive accumulation of preferential oxidative DNA damage in certain genes, such as p53, likely contributes to gastric carcinogenesis.

Abstract
8-Hydroxyguanine (7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine, abbreviated as 8-OH-G or 8-oxoG) is the site of a frequent mutagenic DNA lesion produced by oxidative damage. MutM of E. coli and OGG1 of Saccharomyces cervisiae are known to possess 8-OH-G glycosylase and apurinic (AP) site lyase activity. cDNA clones of four isoforms (types 1a, 1b, 1c, and 2) of human OGG1 homologs (hMMH) were isolated. In order to examine whether expression of hMMH (hOGG1) protein actually occurs in human cells, we prepared type 1a specific antibody, and by using this antibody, we showed that type 1a protein isolated from HeLaS3 has 8-OH-G glycosylase/lyase activity. Furthermore, we showed that type 1a protein is a major enzyme for repair of the 8-OH-G lesion in human cells. In our second study, we generated a mouse line carrying an inactivated mutant Mmh allele by targeted gene disruption. Liver extracts of Mmh homozygous mutant mice were found to have loss of the nicking activity for the 8-OH-G site. In addition, the amount of endogenous 8-OH-G in liver DNA of the homozygous mice increased linearly with age, reaching 7-fold increase in 14 week old mice, over that of wild-type or heterozygous mice. Furthermore, when homozygous mice were fed the oxygen radical-forming agent KBrO3, to provide oxidative stress, the level of 8-OH-G in kidney DNA was tremendously increased: more than 200-fold as that of control mice without oxidative stress after 12 weeks of age. These results indicate that Ogg1/Mmh plays an essential role in the repair of the 8-OH-G residue in DNA produced by oxidative stress.

Abstract
To obtain information on the effects of nongenotoxic carcinogens at low doses for human cancer risk assessment, the carcinogenic potential of the organochlorine insecticide, 1,1-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane (DDT), in the liver was assessed in F344 rats. In experiment 1, 240 male animals, 21 days old, were administered 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 20, 100 and 500 ppm DDT in the diet for 16 weeks. Experiment 2 was conducted to elucidate the carcinogenic potential of DDT at lower levels using 180 rats given doses of 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 ppm. The livers of all animals were immunohistochemically examined for expression of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P), putative preneoplastic lesions. Quantitative values for GST-P-positive foci in the liver were increased dose-dependently in rats given 20 ppm DDT and above with statistical significance as compared with the concurrent control value. In contrast, doses of 0.005 and 0.01 ppm were associated with a tendency for decrease below the control value, although not significantly. Western blotting analysis show that cytochrome P-450 3A2 (CYP3A2) protein expression tended to decrease at 0.005 and 0.01 ppm, a good correlation being observed with the change in the number of GST-P-positive foci. These findings suggest that a DDT hepatocarcinogenicity may show nonlinear response, that is, hormetic response at low doses. Furthermore, since CYP3A2 protein expression appears to be important for the effects of phenobarbital and the alpha-isomer of benzene hexachloride, mRNAs for IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) and TNF-alpha receptor type 1 (TNFR1) whose ligands have roles not only in downregulating CYP3A2 expression but also in inducing antiproliferative effect or apoptosis in hepatocyte were examined. Increase was observed at low doses of DDT. Oxidative stress in liver DNA, assessed in terms of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine as a marker, was also decreased. These findings suggest that the possible hormetic effect that was observed in our detailed low-dose study of DDT carcinogenesis, although not statistically significant, may be linked to levels of oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
We developed a facile, cost-effective competitive binding assay for the analysis of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) in DNA, using a polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against an 8-oxodGuo hapten coupled to bovine serum albumin and radiolabeled synthetic ligand containing multiple 8-oxodGuo residues. This radioimmunoassay (RIA) displays a high affinity for 8-oxodGuo in DNA, with a detection limit of approximately 1 adduct in 10(5) bases of DNA. 8-oxodGuo standards for RIA were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection in DNA diluted in methylene blue and exposed to visible light. As an initial application we quantified 8-oxodGuo in dosimeters deployed at increasing depths in the Southern Ocean during the austral spring of the 1998 field season or at the surface at Palmer Station, Antarctica, throughout the 1999 field season. Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) were quantified using an established RIA. We found that the frequency of both photoproducts decreased with depth. However, CPD induction was attenuated at a faster rate than 8-oxodGuo, correlating with the differential attenuation of solar ultraviolet wavelengths in the water column. CPD induction was closely related with ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) attenuation, whereas the lower attenuation of 8-oxodGuo suggests that oxidative damage is more closely related to ultraviolet-A radiation (UVA) irradiance. The ratio of 8-oxodGuo: CPD was also found to covary with changes in stratospheric ozone concentrations at Palmer Station. These data demonstrate the usefulness of these assays for environmental photobiology and the potential for their use in studying the relative impacts of UVB versus UVA, including ozone depletion events.

Abstract
Cumulating evidence suggests that enhanced oxidative stress may contribute to diabetic angiopathy. The levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OHG), indicators of oxidative DNA damage, in tissue or body fluid are increased in diabetic patients. However, it is unclear whether plasma 8-OHG correlates with tissue 8-OHdG and whether insulin or antioxidant treatment reduces plasma 8-OHG in diabetic state. In this study, we measured the 8-OHG levels in plasma as well as the 8-OHdG levels in liver and kidney in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (DR) treated with insulin (DR+I), insulin and probucol (DR+I/P), or insulin and vitamin E (DR+I/E). There was a correlation between plasma 8-OHG levels and tissue 8-OHdG levels (plasma 8-OHG vs. liver 8-OHdG: r = 0.64, P < 0.001; plasma 8-OHG vs. kidney 8-OHdG: r = 0.38, P = 0.06). DR had levels of plasma 8-OHG that were three times higher than control rats (CR), whereas they had levels of tissue 8-OHdG that were approximately 1.5-2 times higher. Plasma 8-OHG levels in DR were almost normalized by insulin treatment, although insulin partially corrected hyperglycemia (plasma 8-OHG: CR 3.3 +/- 2.7 pmol/ml; DR 10.4 +/- 2.3 pmol/ml, P < 0.05 vs. CR; DR with insulin 3.6 +/- 1.0 pmol/ml, P < 0.05 vs. DR). However, tissue 8-OHdG levels in DR were significantly decreased by combined treatment with insulin and antioxidant (probucol or vitamin E), but not by insulin treatment alone. This data suggests that plasma 8-OHG could be a useful biomarker of oxidative DNA damage in diabetic subjects. The mechanism of differential response of plasma 8-OHG and tissue 8-OHdG to insulin and antioxidant treatment remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) is a DNA repair enzyme that excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) from DNA. Since 8oxoG is a highly mispairing lesion, decreased OGG1 expression level could lead to a higher background mutation frequency and could possibly increase the cancer risk of an individual under oxidative stress. In order to analyse the natural variation of OGG1, we measured the DNA repair activity in human lymphocytes of healthy individuals by means of an 8oxoG-containing oligonucleotide assay. The data obtained revealed a two fold interindividual variation of OGG1 activity in lymphocytes. There was no difference in OGG1 activity due to gender and smoking behaviour. Transcriptional analyses of OGG1 showed the expression of two isoforms, 1a and b, in lymphocytes. Structural analysis of the human OGG1 (hOGG1) gene revealed a Ser326/Cys326 polymorphism in the Caucasian population with allele frequencies of 75% for Ser326 and 25% for Cys326. This polymorphism was not associated with altered OGG1 activity. The described routine test system for measuring OGG1 activity in cryopreserved lymphocytes provided highly reproducible results and is a useful tool for risk assessment associated with alterations in the repair of oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
8-Oxoguanine is one of the major premutagenic oxidative base legions in vivo and is suspected to play a crucial role in various pathophysiological processes, such as cancer and aging. Mammalian 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) is thought to play a major role in the removal of 8-oxoguanine adducts in vivo. We have identified several inbred mouse strains with a spontaneous mutation, OGG1-R336H or double mutations, OGG1-R304W/R336H. R304W mutation caused a complete loss of OGG1 activity, while the R336H mutation led to disruption of nuclear localization of the enzyme although the activity remained normal. Among the double mutants was SAMP1, which exhibits accelerated senescence and short lifespan. We assessed the possible implication of the mutant OGG1 and 8-oxoguanine in aging utilizing SAMP1 mice. SAMP1 retained 1.5- to 1.9-fold increase in 8-oxoguanine level of hepatic nuclear DNA as compared with normal mice, until at least 12 months of age. A genetic association study, however, indicated that the mutant Ogg1 gene per se is not responsible for the accelerated senescence and short lifespan of SAMP1. Mutant OGG1 may be associated with pathologic conditions in other mouse strains.

Abstract
To demonstrate DNA damages in the early stage of diesel exhaust exposure, an inhalation study of 1 through 12 months was conducted. The lung burden of diesel soot increased with increase in exposure duration. Histologically, hyperplastic foci of alveolar epithelia were found at 6-month exposure and became prominent at the 12th month, with slight nuclear atypia and positive p53 staining. The level of 8-OH-hydroxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) in the exposed rat lungs showed an increase from 1 month of exposure, followed by a gradual increase, reaching almost a plateau level at the 9th month. An in vitro experiment demonstrated significant 8-OH-dG formation when diesel particles and H(2)O(2) were added to the DNA solution. The level of bulky aromatic DNA adducts peaked at the 1st month of exposure, followed by a decrease. By the end of the observation period of 30 months, lung tumors developed even in the 6-month exposure group, and the earliest lung tumors were found only in rats that survived longer than 18 months. In conclusion, persisting oxidative stress on DNA induced in the early phase of diesel exhaust exposure, together with inflammation, seems to play an important role in carcinogenesis at advance ages after a long latent period.

Abstract
We tested the cytotoxic action of 8-hydroxyguanine (8ohG) by observing the viability of several leukemic cell lines (KG-1, U937, Jurkat and K 562) in the presence of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8ohdG), a nucleoside of 8ohG. It was found that 8ohdG showed cytotoxic action only to KG-1 and that only KG-1 showed a homozygous arginine 209 to glutamine mutation in the hOGG1 gene with an almost negligible hOGG1 enzyme activity. Possibly, the selective cytotoxicity in 8ohdG to KG-1 may be due to its low capacity to cope with an increase in the 8ohG level in DNA resulting from the incorporation of 8ohdG present in the culture media. The mutational impairment of hOGG1 in KG-1 is the first report in leukemic cell lines. Using KG-1 with impaired hOGG1, we demonstrated cytotoxicity of 8ohdG probably due to its incorporation into cellular DNA. This new property of KG-1 may allow it to serve as an useful tool for studies of OGG1, oxidative DNA damage and the cytotoxic action of 8ohG. Oncogene (2000) 19, 4476 - 4479.

Abstract
A type of oxidative DNA damage, 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua) formation, and the activity for its subsequent repair, 8-OH-Gua endonuclease activity, were examined in an ischemia-reperfusion model of isolated rat hearts. The level of 8-OH-Gua in myocardial DNA was measured by a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with an electrochemical detector, and the 8-OH-Gua endonuclease activity was analysed by the endonuclease nicking assay using a synthetic double-stranded oligonucleotide containing an 8-OH-Gua residue as a substrate. The Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were subjected to 30 or 60 min of global ischemia, followed by reperfusion with an oxygenated or a nitrogenated Krebs-Henseleit solution. The 8-OH-Gua content in the DNA of the ischemic hearts reperfused with an oxygenated solution was three to four times higher than that of the control hearts. The levels of 8-OH-Gua did not increase either in the ischemic hearts reperfused with a nitrogenated solution or in the ischemic-reperfused hearts treated with SOD, mannitol or allopurinol. When the myocardial extract was incubated with the 8-OH-Gua-containing oligonucleotide substrate, a specific cleavage at the site of an 8-OH-Gua residue was detected. The endonuclease activity responsible for this cleavage increased two-fold in the ischemic-reperfused hearts, compared to the control. This study demonstrates that the formation of 8-OH-Gua in DNA as well as the level of its repair process, 8-OH-Gua endonuclease activity, increase in the ischemic-reperfused rat hearts in response to oxidative stress due to higher levels of oxygen free radicals.

Abstract
The 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), presently the most popular marker for oxidative DNA damage, level has been reported to be elevated in patients with various malignancies. In the present study, urinary 8-OHdG was examined in 44 patients with hematological disorders (13 malignant lymphoma, 11 adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), 10 acute leukemia, and 10 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)) by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The pre-therapy level of urinary 8-OHdG in ATL patients was significantly elevated compared with normal controls (25.3+/-12.9 vs. 11.9+/-7.3 ng/mg, P<0.05). Although patients with lymphoma, acute leukemia and MDS also showed higher urinary 8-OHdG levels than normal controls, the differences were not significant. However, two patients with refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation (RAEB-t) having extreme monocytosis and neutrophilia showed exceptionally high urinary 8-OHdG levels (161.0 and 218.9 ng/mg). Urinary 8-OHdG excretion increased transiently with chemotherapy, and this fluctuation was significant irrespective of the disorder (P<0.05). Interestingly, lymphoma patients with high LDH, advanced stage, poor performance status or International Prognostic Index (IPI) of high/high-intermediate risk had significantly elevated urinary 8-OHdG levels (P<0.05-<0.001). These latter results suggest that urinary 8-OHdG may be a reliable prognostic marker in lymphoma patients and should encourage large scale and long term follow up studies.

Abstract
Oxidative damage to cellular biomolecules, in particular DNA, has been proposed to play an important role in a number of pathological conditions, including carcinogenesis. A much studied consequence of oxygen-centred radical damage to DNA is 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). Using numerous techniques, this lesion has been quantified in various biological matrices, most notably DNA and urine. Until recently, it was understood that urinary 8-oxodG derives solely from DNA repair, although the processes which may yield the modified deoxynucleoside have never been thoroughly discussed. This review suggests that nucleotide excision repair and the action of a specific endonuclease may, in addition to the nucleotide pool, contribute significantly to levels of 8-oxodG in the urine. On this basis, urinary 8-oxodG represents an important biomarker of generalised, cellular oxidative stress. Current data from antioxidant supplementation trials are examined and the potential for such compounds to modulate DNA repair is considered. It is stressed that further work is required to link DNA, serum and urinary levels of 8-oxodG such that the kinetics of formation and clearance may be elucidated, facilitating greater understanding of the role played by oxidative stress in disease.

Abstract
Recent studies show an increase in DNA oxidation in brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and decreased levels of the free repair product in CSF in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This is a study of the activity of the base excision repair enzyme, 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (responsible for the excision of 8-oxoguanine), and DNA helicase activity in nuclear protein samples from four brain regions of 10 AD and eight age-matched control subjects. Statistically significant (p<0.05) decreases in 8-oxoguanine glycosylase activity were observed in the nuclear fraction of AD hippocampal and parahippocampal gyri (HPG), superior and middle temporal gyri (SMTG), and inferior parietal lobule (IPL). DNA helicase activity was elevated in all nuclear samples except the IPL with statistically significant elevations in the HPG and CER. Statistically significant depletion of helicase activity was observed in the nuclear fraction in AD IPL. Our results demonstrate that the repair capabilities for 8-oxoguanine are decreased in AD. The modest increase in DNA helicase activity in some brain regions in AD may interfere with base excision repair mechanisms. Overall, the decreased repair of DNA damage could be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in AD.

Abstract
One of the leading etiologic hypotheses regarding Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the involvement of free radical-mediated oxidative stress in neuronal degeneration. Although several recent studies show an increase in levels of brain DNA oxidation in both aging and AD, there have been no studies of levels of markers of DNA oxidation in ventricular CSF. This is a study of levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), the predominant marker of oxidative DNA damage, in intact DNA and as the "free" repair product that results from repair mechanisms. Free 8-OHdG was isolated from CSF from nine AD and five age-matched control subjects using solid-phase extraction columns and measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with selective ion monitoring. Intact DNA was isolated from the same samples and the levels of 8-OHdG determined in the intact structures. Quantification of results was carried out using stable isotope-labeled 8-OHdG. By using this sensitive methodology, statistically significant elevations (p < 0.05) of 8-OHdG were observed in intact DNA in AD subjects compared with age-matched control subjects. In contrast, levels of free 8-OHdG, removed via repair mechanisms, were depleted significantly in AD samples (p < 0.05). Our results demonstrate an increase in unrepaired oxygen radical-mediated damage in AD DNA as evidenced by the increased presence of 8-OHdG in intact DNA and decreased concentrations of the free repair product. These data suggest that the brain in AD may be subject to the double insult of increased oxidative stress, as well as deficiencies in repair mechanisms responsible for removal of oxidized bases.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of physical exercise on the level of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua), a form of oxidative DNA damage, and its repair activity in human peripheral leukocytes. Whole blood samples were collected by venipuncture from 21 healthy male volunteers (10 trained athletes and 13 untrained men), aged 19-50 years, both before and after physical exercise. Trained athletes showed a lower level of 8-OH-Gua (2.4+/-0.5/10(6) Gua, p = 0.0032) before exercise when compared to that of untrained men (6.2+/-3.5). The mean levels of 8-OH-Gua of untrained subjects decreased significantly (p = 0.0057) from 6.2+/-3.5/10(6) Gua (mean+/-SD/10(6) Gua) to 3.3+/-1.4/10(6) Gua after physical exercise. On the other hand, the mean levels of repair activity of untrained subjects significantly increased after exercise (p = 0.0093) from 0.037+/-0.024 (mean DNA cleavage ratio+/-SD) to 0.056+/-0.036. In the trained athletes 8-OH-Gua level and its repair activity were not changed before and after the exercise. We also observed inter-individual differences in 8-OH-Gua levels and its repair activities. These results suggest that physical exercise causes both rapid and long-range reduction of oxidative DNA damage in human leukocytes, with individually different efficiencies.

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
We found previously that 8-hydroxyguanine (oh8Gua) endonuclease in E. coli is induced in response to oxidative stress in a fashion similar to the oxidative response of the Mn-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). In this study, attempts were made to identify the genes involved in the co-regulation of E. coli endonuclease and MnSOD (sodA). oh8Gua nuclease is induced by molecular oxygen and a superoxide radical generator (paraquat) but not by H2O2, suggesting that the regulation of this endonuclease is dependent on SoxRS but independent of OxyR. This enzyme was induced by paraquat in all of the soxRS mutant strains used (soxR-, soxS- and soxRc), whereas glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (a member of the soxRS regulon) showed the expected responses; therefore, this possibility was excluded. The presence of metal chelators in the growth medium caused the induction of this enzyme, and this induction was suppressed by the addition of Fe++. Consistent with this finding, this enzyme was expressed under anaerobiosis in all of the mutant strains of fnr in particular, as well as fur, arcA, and combinations thereof. These findings suggest that the oxidative regulation of oh8Gua endonuclease is under control of fnr, fur, and arcA, where fnr plays a predominant role. The multiple involvement of regulatory genes as well as co-regulation with antioxidant enzyme will enhance the efficiency of cellular growth and survival in the aerobic environment.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage is generated by reactive oxygen species. The mutagenic base, 8-oxoguanine, formed by this process, is removed from oxidatively damaged DNA by base excision repair. Genes coding for DNA repair enzymes that recognize 8-oxoguanine have been reported in bacteria and yeast. We have identified and characterized mouse and human cDNAs encoding homologs of the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (ogg1) gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Escherichia coli doubly mutant for mutM and mutY have a mutator phenotype and are deficient in 8-oxoguanine repair. The recombinant mouse gene (mOgg1) suppresses the mutator phenotype of mutY/mutM E. coli. Extracts prepared from mutY/mutM E. coli expressing mOgg1 contain an activity that excises 8-oxoguanine from DNA and a beta-lyase activity that nicks DNA 3' to the lesion. The mouse ogg1 gene product acts efficiently on DNA duplexes in which 7, 8-dihydroxy-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) is paired with dC, acts weakly on duplexes in which 8-oxodG is paired with dT or dG, and is inactive against duplexes in which 8-oxodG is paired with dA. Mouse and human ogg1 genes contain a helix-hairpin-helix structural motif with conserved residues characteristic of a recently defined family of DNA glycosylases. Ogg1 mRNA is expressed in several mouse tissues; highest levels were detected in testes. Isolation of the mouse ogg1 gene makes it possible to modulate its expression in mice and to explore the involvement of oxidative DNA damage and associated repair processes in aging and cancer.

Abstract
A wide range of cytotoxic and mutagenic DNA bases are removed by different DNA glycosylases, which initiate the base excision repair pathway. DNA glycosylases cleave the N-glycosylic bond between the target base and deoxyribose, thus releasing a free base and leaving an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site. In addition, several DNA glycosylases are bifunctional, since they also display a lyase activity that cleaves the phosphodiester backbone 3' to the AP site generated by the glycosylase activity. Structural data and sequence comparisons have identified common features among many of the DNA glycosylases. Their active sites have a structure that can only bind extrahelical target bases, as observed in the crystal structure of human uracil-DNA glycosylase in a complex with double-stranded DNA. Nucleotide flipping is apparently actively facilitated by the enzyme. With bacteriophage T4 endonuclease V, a pyrimidine-dimer glycosylase, the enzyme gains access to the target base by flipping out an adenine opposite to the dimer. A conserved helix-hairpin-helix motif and an invariant Asp residue are found in the active sites of more than 20 monofunctional and bifunctional DNA glycosylases. In bifunctional DNA glycosylases, the conserved Asp is thought to deprotonate a conserved Lys, forming an amine nucleophile. The nucleophile forms a covalent intermediate (Schiff base) with the deoxyribose anomeric carbon and expels the base. Deoxyribose subsequently undergoes several transformations, resulting in strand cleavage and regeneration of the free enzyme. The catalytic mechanism of monofunctional glycosylases does not involve covalent intermediates. Instead the conserved Asp residue may activate a water molecule which acts as the attacking nucleophile.

Abstract
Ratios of urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine to urinary creatinine (8-OHdG/creatinine) have been considered as a good biological indicator of DNA oxidation. Urinary 8-OHdG/creatinine levels of lung cancer patients were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a monoclonal antibody N45.1 during radiotherapy and chemotherapy. An increase in urinary 8-OHdG/creatinine was found in non-small-cell carcinoma (non-SCC) patients during the course of radiotherapy. SCC patients showed higher levels of urinary 8-OHdG/creatinine than the controls. Furthermore, SCC patients with complete or partial response to the chemotherapy showed a significant decrease in urinary 8-OHdG/creatinine while patients with no change or progressive disease showed an increase.

Abstract
8-hydroxyguanine (oh8Gua) is a major form of oxygen free radical-induced DNA damage. The oh8Gua nucleotide can pair with cytosine (C) and adenine (A) nucleotides which can cause G:C to T:A transversions. It is known that multiple repair systems for the correction of the oh8Gua exist in both mammalian and bacterial cells. Using the technique of gel mobility shift assay, protein(s) bound to the oh8Gua:C base pair in short fragments of DNA was detected in cell-free extracts of a human small-cell lung cancer cell line. This DNA binding activity was specific, since it was poorly detected with an unmodified G:C base pair containing oligonucleotide duplex and was affected by neither the unmodified G:C base pair nor an oh8Gua:A base pair containing oligonucleotide duplex. The partially purified protein which selectively binds to the oh8Gua:C base pair was shown by gel filtration column chromatography to have an apparent molecular mass of 52 kDa. The column fraction which showed the highest binding activity to the oh8Gua:C base pair was found to possess an enzymatic activity that specifically cleaves the oh8Gua containing oligonucleotide strand at both the 5' and 3' sides of the oh8Gua residue. These results indicate the presence of a protein(s) that is involved in a DNA repair pathway for the correction of the oh8Gua residue in human cells.

Abstract
It has been suggested that 8-hydroxyguanine (oh8Gua), a DNA adduct formed by active oxygens, impairs the maintenance of genetic integrity, oh8Gua glycosylase removes oh8Gua residues as a free base from DNA strands. In E. coli, it has been demonstrated that oh8Gua glycosylase is induced in response to oxidative stress, but the oxidative inducibility in mammalian tissues has not yet been studied. In the present study, the inducibility of oh8Gua glycosylase was tested by comparing activity changes of this enzyme in the kidney and the liver of rats treated with potassium bromate (KBrO3). KBrO3 is known to cause oxidative damage to the kidney but not to other organs. With a single dose of KBrO3 (80 mg/kg, i.p.), activity in the kidney was found to increase significantly at 3 h compared to that at zero time. At 6 h, activity peaked, showing a 6-fold increase over that at zero time. Thereafter, it decreased and returned to its zero time level at 12 h. With increasing doses of KBrO3 (up to 160 mg/kg, i.p.), activity increased linearly with increased dosage, and over 40 mg/kg, i.p., activity increased to a level significantly higher than that in the control. In contrast to the time- and dose-dependent changes in activity in the kidney, no significant change was observed in the liver under the same conditions as above. These results show that oh8Gua glycosylase is also induced oxidatively in mammalian tissues. The induction in this tissue as well as in E. coli indicates that the adaptive response of this enzyme to oxidative stress is a general phenomenon in aerobic organisms and implies that the repair of oh8Gua residues in DNA is a process important for the survival of organisms in an aerobic environment.

Abstract
The induction of 8-hydroxyguanine (oh8Gua) endonuclease, a DNA repair enzyme for an oxidatively modified guanine, oh8Gua was studied in various growth conditions in Escherichia coli (AB1157). Anaerobically grown E. coli were found to have a very low activity of this enzyme while aerobically grown cells showed activity about 20 times that of the anaerobic level. Under the same condition, superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed about 6-fold increase in activity. A shift in growth conditions from anaerobic to aerobic resulted in rapid induction of this enzyme, and this induction was blocked (but not completely) by chloramphenicol. It is indicated that molecular oxygen is an effective stimulator to the induction of this enzyme and its induction depends partly on protein synthesis. Superoxide-producing compounds such as paraquat and menadione also increased the activity of endonuclease as well as SOD, but H2O2 showed no effect. Thus, superoxides are also implied as a stimulator. In contrast, hyperoxia induced only SOD not the endonuclease. This induction of the endonuclease by hyperoxia was only observed in a SOD-deficient strain (QC774). The aerobic activity of the endonuclease in QC774 was the same as that of wild types (AB1157, GC4468). It is implied that the responsiveness of oh8Gua endonuclease to superoxides is less sensitive than that of SOD. The endonuclease was also induced by a temperature shift from 30 to 43 degrees C and treatment with nalidixic acid. Among the stimuli used, molecular oxygen seems to be most effective for its induction. The inducible nature of this enzyme will serve as an important mechanism for the protection of oxidative DNA damage in the aerobic environment.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage is the most frequent type of damage encountered by aerobic cells and may play an important role in biological processes such as mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and aging in humans. Oxidative damage generates a myriad of modifications in DNA. We investigated the cellular repair of DNA base damage products in DNA of cultured human lymphoblast cells, which were exposed to oxidative stress by H2O2. This DNA-damaging agent is known to cause base modifications in genomic DNA of mammalian cells [Dizdaroglu, M., Nackerdien, Z., Chao, B.-C., Gajewski, E. and Rao, G. (1991) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 285, 388-390]. Following treatment with H2O2, the culture medium was freed from H2O2 and cells were incubated for time periods ranging from 10 min to 6 h. DNA was isolated from control cells, hydrogen peroxide-treated cells and cells incubated after H2O2 exposure. DNA samples were analyzed by gas chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectrometry. Eleven modified bases were identified and quantified. The results showed a significant formation of these DNA base products upon H2O2-treatment of cells. Subsequent incubation of cells caused a time-dependent excision of these products from cellular DNA. The cell viability did not change significantly by various treatments. There were distinct differences between the kinetics of excision of individual products. The observed excisions were attributed to DNA repair in cells. The rate of repair of purine lesions was slower than that of pyrimidine lesions. Most of the identified products are known to possess various premutagenic properties. The results of this work may contribute to the understanding of the cellular repair of oxidative DNA damage in human and other mammalian cells.

Abstract
The postulated importance of oxidative damage to DNA in aging and age-related degenerative pathologies such as cancer has prompted efforts to develop sensitive quantitation methods. 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is a widely used marker for oxidative damage to DNA. To develop an immunoassay for quantitation of 8-OHdG, two monoclonal antibodies have been developed and characterized by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Antibody 1F7 has 50% inhibition at 5 pmol 8-OHdG and 1 x 10(5) pmol dG, while antibody 1F11 has 50% inhibition at 2.5 pmol 8-OHdG and 2000 pmol dG. Both antisera crossreact with guanosine and several structurally related derivatives, including 6- and 8-mercaptoguanosine, 8-bromoguanosine, 8-methylguanine, and 7-methylguanosine. Immunoaffinity columns were prepared with antibody 1F7, which exhibits higher selectivity than 1F11, to isolate 8-OHdG from DNA hydrolyzates followed by ELISA quantitation with antibody 1F11. This method allows the analysis of approximately one 8-OHdG/10(5) dG using 100 micrograms DNA. To validate the assay, DNA extracted from human placental tissues were assayed by both ELISA and HPLC with electrochemical detection. Values by both methods correlated well (r = 0.87, p < 0.001), but the levels determined by ELISA were approximately sixfold higher than those determined by HPLC. This may be due to oligonucleotides detected by the ELISA but not the HPLC method or crossreactivity with other damaged bases present in the immunoaffinity purified material. Placental samples from current smokers had significantly higher 8-OHdG by ELISA than those from nonsmokers (p < 0.05). The method of immunoaffinity purification combined with ELISA quantitation has sufficient sensitivity for detecting 8-OHdG in human DNA samples. Although absolute values are higher than those determined by HPLC, the method provides a good alternative to the HPLC-EC method for monitoring relative oxidative damage in molecular epidemiological studies.

Abstract
Under oxidative stress 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a damaged base with mutagenic potential, and single-strand breaks (SSB) are formed in DNA. Both lesions are frequently used as a parameter for oxidative damage of DNA. Here we report on results from the evaluation of a modified nick translation assay, where 8-oxodG and SSB formation in cellular DNA of cultured human fibroblasts were simultaneously detected. The assay is based on a method previously described by others, with several modifications in reaction conditions and type of substrate. We used formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (FPG) in our assay in order to measure the formation of FPG-sensitive lesions (which include 8-oxodG) in DNA of human fibroblasts in response to ionising radiation. The quantification of the DNA damage was based on calibration experiments with plasmid DNA pUC19. Dose-response curves of SSB and FPG-sensitive lesion formation in human fibroblasts VH-10 were established. A very low background level of 8-oxodG was detected in unirradiated fibroblasts (approx. 500 residues per cell).

Abstract
A simple means of measuring of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OHGua) levels in urine was developed. Rat and human urine samples were purified by means of strong cation exchange chromatography (Amberlite CG-120), followed by cellulose partition chromatography (Whatman CF-11). Thereafter, 8-OHGua was determined by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using an electro-chemical detector. The level of 8-OHGua in rat urine increased by a factor of 2 to 4 after an intraperitoneal administration of 2-nitropropane (25 mg/kg), paraquat (11.3 mg/kg), or hydroquinone (11 mg/kg). On the other hand, the urine of smokers and persons exposed to air polluted with car exhaust also contained 1.9 and 3.8 fold more 8-OHGua, respectively, than that of control nonsmokers. These results indicated that the amount of 8-OHGua in urine is useful marker for monitoring the level of in vivo oxidative stress.

Abstract
This review presents and evaluates evidence relevant to the mechanisms of metal carcinogenicity with special emphasis on the emerging hypothesis of the oxidative nature of metals' effect on DNA. The carcinogenic transition metals are capable of in vivo binding with the cell nucleus and causing promutagenic damage that includes DNA base modifications, inter- and intramolecular crosslinking of DNA and proteins, DNA strand breaks, rearrangements, and depurination. The chemistry of that damage and the resulting mutations observed in vitro and in metal-induced tumors are both characteristic for oxidative attack on DNA. The underlying mechanism involves various kinds of active oxygen and other radical species arising from metal-catalyzed redox reactions of O2, H2O2, lipid peroxides, and others, with certain amino acids, peptides, and proteins. Other metal-mediated pathogenic effects, such as enhancement of lipid peroxidation, stimulation of inflammation, inhibition of cellular antioxidant defenses, and inhibition of DNA repair, may also contribute to that mechanism. Thus far, published data revealing the oxidative character of metal-induced promutagenic DNA alterations are particularly strong for two of the most powerful human metal carcinogens, chromium and nickel. However, without excluding contribution of other effects, the promotion of oxidative damage tends to take the leading role in explaining mechanisms of carcinogenicity and acute toxicity of certain other metals as well.

Abstract
Differential hybridization was used to detect repair defects in xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) that are not amenable to current analyses. cDNA libraries were constructed from cytoplasmic RNA of normal and XP fibroblast strains (complementation groups A and D) and analyzed for differential gene expression. More than 40,000 lambda gt10 cDNA clones were differentially screened with in vitro transcripts made from cDNA in the pBluescript vector. Six differential clones were detected in the libraries of the XP group A and D strains which caused stronger or weaker signals when probed with transcripts from XP strains than with those from the normal strains. Two clones coded for mitochondrial genes: mitochondrial 16 S rRNA and ATPase 6L. Overexpression of mitochondrial genes in XP may indicate that functions of the ATP-generating system are impaired since such functions are intensified whenever they become insufficient, for example as a consequence of DNA damage. It is tempting to assume that abnormal mitochondria are one of the causes for the neurological malfunctions in XP. Furthermore, densitometric analysis of Northern blots revealed that mRNA of lactate dehydrogenase, chain M, was less abundant in four XP group A strains (extent of reduction: 70%) and in two XP group D strains (extent of reduction: 58%). Enzyme activity was also diminished. In addition, mRNA of the gene for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was less expressed in the same XP group A and D fibroblast strains investigated (reduction in both complementation groups: 50%). Both glycolytic enzymes have nuclear functions apart from their role in sugar metabolism. Lactate dehydrogenase, chain M, is identical to a helix-destabilizing protein; it is closely associated with chromatin and unfolded DNA, suggesting a role in DNA synthesis and transcription. The 37-kDa subunit of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is involved in transcription and was shown to be identical to uracil-DNA glycosylase, a base-excision repair enzyme. We presume that the nuclear functions of these glycolytic enzymes may be thwarted in the XP strains investigated and may account for malfunctions in XP, particularly for neurological disturbances.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been implicated as a major contributor to coffee mutagenicity and genotoxicity in vitro. We have used three assays to show the gradual formation of H2O2 in freshly prepared roasted ground coffee and in instant coffees over time reaching levels of 400-450 microM after a 1-h incubation period. Formation of H2O2 occurs through an auto-oxidation process where polyphenolics, in the presence of transition metals, reduce atmospheric oxygen. However, because of these polyphenolics, coffee also possesses in vitro antioxidant activity as shown by its capacity to inhibit lipid peroxidation in Fenton-catalysed hydroxylation reactions. The pro- and antioxidative effects of coffee are also reflected in its mutagenic and antimutagenic activity in the Ames test. Coffee is directly mutagenic in strains TA100 and TA102 due to H2O2 formation. However, coffee is also an antioxidant and antimutagen. This beverage exerts a strong protective effect against the mutagenicity and cytotoxicity induced by the oxidant t-butylhydroperoxide (t-BOOH). Thus, coffee, like many antioxidants, exhibits dual effects in vitro which are highly dependent upon parameters such as dose, atmospheric oxygen, transition metals as well as the biological and chemical endpoints used for measurement. Consequently, the data obtained on the pro- and antioxidant properties of foods and beverages from in vitro bioassays must be interpreted with caution and the results are not easily extrapolated in vivo to assess the impact on human health.

The present study was performed to assess the roles of hepatocellular oxidative damage to DNA and constituents other than DNA in rat liver carcinogenesis caused by a choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined (CDAA) diet by examining the effects of the antioxidant N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD). The parameters used for cellular oxidative damage were the level of 8-hydroxy-guanine (8-OHGua) for DNA and that of 2-thiobarbituric acid-reacting substance (TBARS) for constituents other than DNA. A total of 40 male Fischer 344 rats, 6 weeks old, were fed the CDAA diet for 12 weeks with or without DPPD (0.05, 0.10 or 0.20%) or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, 0.25%). In the livers of the rats, the numbers and sizes of glutathione S-transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) placental form (GSTP)- and/or gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT, EC 2.3.2.2)-positive lesions and levels of 8-OHGua and TBARS were determined. The GSTP-positive lesions of 0.08 mm2 or larger were all stained positively for GGT as well in cross-sectional area, whereas the smaller lesions were generally negative for GGT. DPPD and BHT reduced the size of the GSTP-positive lesions without affecting their total numbers. At the same time, they reduced TBARS generation without affecting 8-OHGua formation in DNA. The present results indicate that oxidative DNA damage (represented by 8-OHGua formation) and damage to constituents other than DNA (represented by TBARS generation) may play different roles in rat liver carcinogenesis caused by the CDAA diet; the former appears to be involved in the induction of phenotypically altered hepatocyte populations while the latter may be related to the growth of such populations.

Abstract
8-Hydroxyguanine is one of the major base lesions implicated in mutagenesis induced by ionizing radiation and radiomimetic agents. This lesion appears to be repaired by human cells via multiple pathways including the one that involves a base glycosylase. Mouse N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase, responsible for the removal of N-alkylpurines in DNA that are induced by simple monofunctional alkylating agents, also releases 8-hydroxyguanine from DNA in vitro and in vivo in Escherichia coli. The human N-methylpurine-DNA glycosylase, with a lower preference for N-alkylguanine than the mouse protein, removes the oxidized base less efficiently than the mouse protein. The recombinant mammalian glycosylases can rescue E. coli lacking MutM (Fpg) protein, the DNA glycosylase that is primarily responsible for removing 8-hydroxyguanine from the bacterial DNA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the extent of genomic DNA damage and killing of lymphocytes by reactive oxygen intermediates in autoimmune diseases. METHODS 8-Oxo-7-hydrodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a promutagenic DNA lesion induced by reactive oxygen intermediates, was measured by high performance liquid chromatography, coupled with electrochemical detection, in hydrolysates of DNA which had been extracted from lymphocyte and polymorphonuclear leucocyte fractions of human blood. In addition, human primary blood lymphocytes stimulated by concanavalin A were assayed for cytotoxicity induced by hydrogen peroxide on day 0, by assessing cell proliferation during seven days of culture. RESULTS Constitutive 8-oxodG was detectable (mean (2 SEM) moles 8-oxodG/10(6) moles deoxyguanosine) in DNA isolated from normal human blood lymphocytes (68 (8), n = 26) and polymorphonuclear leucocytes (118 (24), n = 24). Lymphocyte DNA from donors with the following inflammatory autoimmune diseases contained significantly higher levels of 8-oxodG than that from healthy donors: rheumatoid arthritis (98 (16)), systemic lupus erythematosus (137 (28)), vasculitis (100 (32)), and Behçet's disease (92 (19)). Lymphocyte 8-oxodG levels in non-autoimmune controls and patients with scleroderma were not significantly different from those of healthy controls. The levels of 8-oxodG were significantly higher in the DNA from normal polymorphonuclear leucocytes than in paired DNA samples from normal lymphocytes, but there were no differences between levels of 8-oxodG in polymorphonuclear leucocytes from normal subjects and the patients studied. Levels of 8-oxodG did not correlate with disease duration, disease severity, or age. Lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, but not those with scleroderma, also showed cellular hypersensitivity to the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide. CONCLUSION There was increased genomic DNA damage, and increased susceptibility to cytotoxic killing by hydrogen peroxide, in lymphocytes from patients with certain autoimmune diseases. These results might be explained by defective repair of DNA damage or by increased production of reactive oxygen intermediates in inflammation. Although more direct studies are needed, the evidence available favours the former explanation.

Abstract
Oxidative damage to DNA is one of the most important causes of spontaneous mutations and may play a role in aging and related diseases, such as cancer, in humans. Oxidative damage results from the attack of biomolecules by free radicals and reactive oxygen species formed as byproducts of normal cell metabolism or during oxidative stress. To counteract the lethal and mutagenic effects of oxidative lesions in DNA, cells have developed defence strategies including DNA repair systems. In Escherichia coli, the repair of oxidized bases in DNA is mostly mediated by the base excision repair pathway. The first step in this DNA repair pathway is catalysed either by the NTH protein which excises oxidized pyrimidines or by the FPG protein which excises oxidized purines. The nucleotide excision repair pathway mediated by the UvrABC complex may also play a role when the DNA glycosylases are inactive or saturated. This review summarizes the structural and catalytic properties of the NTH and FPG proteins of Escherichia coli and presents evidence to indicate that these two enzymes constitute an important component of the cellular defence against oxidative stress in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Abstract
Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats, a mutant strain originating from Long-Evans rats, spontaneously develop hereditary hepatitis followed by hepatocellular carcinoma. The hepatic disorder in LEC rats is associated with their abnormal copper metabolism; metal-catalyzed reactions often give rise to oxygen radicals, which may be related to the carcinogenesis. By means of high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, cellular DNA damage caused by oxygen radicals can be assessed in terms of the amount of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (oh8dG). We assayed the amount of oh8dG in DNA of liver, kidneys, and brain of LEC and Long-Evans Agouti (LEA) control rats in seven groups (n = 3 to 6) aged from 5 weeks to 24 months. Control rats, a healthy sibling line, were age-matched. The amount of oh8dG was correlated with the severity of the age-related clinical symptoms in LEC rats. The amount was higher in LEC rats than in the controls, especially in the liver at the acute stage of hepatitis. These findings suggest that oxygen radicals may be important in the carcinogenesis that occurs in LEC rats.
