Abstract
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a petrochemical manufactured in high volumes. It is a human carcinogen and can induce lymphohematopoietic cancers, particularly leukemia, in occupationally-exposed workers. BD is an air pollutant with the major environmental sources being automobile exhaust and tobacco smoke. It is one of the major constituents and is considered the most carcinogenic compound in cigarette smoke. The BD concentrations in urban areas usually vary between 0.01 and 3.3 μg/m3 but can be significantly higher in some microenvironments. For BD exposure of the general population, microenvironments, particularly indoor microenvironments, are the primary determinant and environmental tobacco smoke is the main contributor. BD has high cancer risk and has been ranked the second or the third in the environmental pollutants monitored in most urban areas, with the cancer risks exceeding 10-5. Mutagenicity/carcinogenicity of BD is mediated by its genotoxic metabolites but the specific metabolite(s) responsible for the effects in humans have not been determined. BD can be bioactivated to yield three mutagenic epoxide metabolites by cytochrome P450 enzymes, or potentially be biotransformed into a mutagenic chlorohydrin by myeloperoxidase, a peroxidase almost specifically present in neutrophils and monocytes. Several urinary BD biomarkers have been developed, among which N-acetyl-S-(4-hydroxy-2-buten-1-yl)-L-cysteine is the most sensitive and is suitable for biomonitoring BD exposure in the general population. Exposure to BD has been associated with leukemia, cardiovascular disease, and possibly reproductive effects, and may be associated with several cancers, autism, and asthma in children. Collectively, BD is a ubiquitous pollutant that has been associated with a range of adverse health effects and diseases with children being a subpopulation with potentially greater susceptibility. Its adverse effects on human health may have been underestimated and more studies are needed.

Abstract
1-Chloro-2-hydroxy-3-butene (CHB) is a possible metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, a carcinogenic air pollutant. To demonstrate its formation in vivo, it is desirable to develop a practical biomarker and the corresponding analysis method. CHB can undergo alcohol dehydrogenase- and cytochromes P450 enzymes (P450)-mediated oxidation to yield 1-chloro-3-buten-2-one (CBO), which readily forms glutathione conjugates. We hypothesized that CBO-derived mercapturic acids, which are the expected biotransformed products of CBO-glutathione conjugates, could be used as CHB biomarkers. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the in vivo biotransformation of CHB into CBO-derived mercapturic acids. Because the reaction of CBO with N-acetyl-l-cysteine yields two products, 1,4-bis(N-acetyl-S-cysteinyl)-2-butanone (NC1) and 1-chloro-4-(N-acetyl-S-cysteinyl)-2-butanone (NC2), we first developed an isotope dilution LC/ESI--MS-MS method to quantitate urinary NC1 and NC2, and then determined their concentrations in urine of C57BL/6 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats administered CHB. Since no NC2 was detected in samples, the LC/ESI--MS-MS method was optimized specifically for NC1. NC1 was enriched through solid phase extraction with the recovery being 75-82%. The limits of detection and quantitation were 6.8 and 34 fmol/0.1 mL for mouse urine, and 4.5 and 7.1 fmol/0.1 mL for rat urine, respectively. In urine of animals before CHB administration, no NC1 was detected; in mice administered CHB at 10 and 30 mg/kg, and rats at 5 and 15 mg/kg, NC1 was detected and its concentrations in urine from animals given higher doses were 3-6 fold higher than those given lower doses. Moreover, the NC1 concentrations in urine during 0-8 h were 4-6 fold and 10-11 fold higher than those during 8-24 h for mice and rats, respectively. The results demonstrated that CHB could be in vivo biotransformed into NC1, which could be used as a practical CHB biomarker.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke contains many harmful chemicals that contribute to the pathogenesis of smoking-related diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Many studies have been done to identify cytotoxic chemicals in cigarette smoke and elucidate the onset of the above-mentioned diseases caused by smoking. However, definitive mechanisms for cigarette smoke toxicity remain unknown. As candidates for cytotoxic chemicals, we have recently found methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and acetic anhydride in nicotine/tar-free cigarette smoke extract (CSE) using L-tyrosine (Tyr), an amino acid with highly reactive hydroxyl group. The presence of MVK and acetic anhydride in CSE was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). We also found new reaction products formed in B16-BL6 mouse melanoma (B16-BL6) cells treated with CSE using LC/MS. These were identified as glutathione (GSH) conjugates of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, MVK, crotonaldehyde (CA), and acrolein (ACR), by the mass value and product ion spectra of these new products. ACR and MVK are type-2 alkenes, which are well known as electron acceptors and form Michael-type adducts to nucleophilic side chain of amino acids on peptides. These α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds may have a key role in CSE-induced cell death.

Abstract
We have previously shown that 1-chloro-3-buten-2-one (CBO), a potential reactive metabolite of 1,3-butadiene (BD), exhibits potent cytotoxicity and genotoxicity that have been attributed in part to its reactivity toward DNA. In an effort to identify the DNA adducts of CBO, we characterized the CBO reactions with 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG), 2'-deoxycytidine (dC), and 2'-deoxyadenosine (dA) under in vitro physiological conditions (pH 7.4, 37 °C). In the present study, we investigated the CBO reaction with 2'-deoxythymidine (dT) and compared the rate constants of the reactions of CBO with dA, dC, dG, and dT at both individual- and mixed-nucleosides levels. We also investigated the reactions of CBO with single- and double-stranded DNA using HPLC with UV detection after adducts were released by either acid or enzymatic hydrolysis of DNA. Consistent with the results from the nucleoside reactions and the rate constant experiments, 1,N6-(1-hydroxy-1-chloromethylpropan-1,3-diyl)adenine (A-2D) was identified as the major DNA adduct detected after acid hydrolysis, followed by N7-(4-chloro-3-oxobutyl)guanine (CG-2H) and a small amount of 1,N6-(1-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)adenine (A-1D). After enzymatic hydrolysis, 1,N6-(1-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-dexoyadenosine (dA-1), 3,N4-(1-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxycytidine (dC-1/2), and 1,N2-(3-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-dexoyguanosine (CG-1) were detected, with dA-1 being the major product, followed by dC-1/2. When a nontoxic concentration of CBO (1 μM) was incubated with HepG2 cells, no adducts could be detected by LC-MS. However, pretreatment of cells with l-buthionine sulfoximine to deplete GSH levels allowed A-2D to be consistently detected in cellular DNA. These results may contribute to a better understanding of the role of the DNA adducts in CBO genotoxicity and mutagenicity. It also suggests that A-2D could be developed as a biomarker of CBO formation after BD exposure in vivo.

Abstract
1-Chloro-3-buten-2-one (CBO) is an in vitro metabolite of 1,3-butadiene (BD), a carcinogenic air pollutant. CBO exhibited potent cytotoxicity and genotoxicity that have been attributed in part to its reactivity toward DNA. Previously, we have characterized the CBO adducts with 2'-deoxycytidine and 2'-deoxyguanosine. In the present study, we report on the reaction of CBO with 2'-deoxyadenosine (dA) under in vitro physiological conditions (pH 7.4, 37 °C). We used the synthesized standards and their decomposition and acid-hydrolysis products to characterize the CBO-DNA adducts formed in human cells. The fused-ring dA adducts (dA-1 and dA-2) were readily synthesized and were structurally characterized as 1,N(6)-(1-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine and 1,N(6)-(1-hydroxy-1-chloromethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine, respectively. dA-1 exhibited a half-life of 16.0 ± 0.7 h and decomposed to dA at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. At similar conditions, dA-2 decomposed to dA-1 and dA, and had a half-life of 0.9 ± 0.1 h. These results provide strong evidence for dA-1 being a degradation product of dA-2. dA-1 is formed by replacement of the chlorine atom of dA-2 by a hydroxyl group. The slow decomposition of dA-1 to dA, along with the detection of hydroxymethyl vinyl ketone (HMVK) as another degradation product, suggested equilibrium between dA-1 and a ring-opened carbonyl-containing intermediate that undergoes a retro-Michael reaction to yield dA and HMVK. Acid hydrolysis of dA-1 and dA-2 yielded the corresponding deribosylated products A-1D and A-2D, respectively. In the acid-hydrolyzed reaction mixture of CBO with calf thymus DNA, both A-1D and A-2D could be detected; however, the amount of A-2D was significantly larger than that of A-1D. Interestingly, only A-2D could be detected by LC-MS analysis of acid-hydrolyzed DNA from cells incubated with CBO, suggesting that dA-2 was stable in DNA and thus may play an important role in the genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of BD. In addition, A-2D could be developed as a biomarker of CBO formation in human cells.
