Abstract
Each structural form of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) has specific electronic and optical properties, but it has not been possible to achieve spatial or energetic modulation of those properties in controllable ways. We present here a simple method for using chemical reactions with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to accomplish such modulation. When aqueous suspensions of SWCNTs coated with ssDNA are exposed to singlet oxygen under ambient conditions, the nanotubes selectively form covalent bonds to the guanine nucleotides. This locally modulates semiconducting SWCNT energy levels and red-shifts their emission wavelengths by up to 10%. Both the magnitude and spatial pattern of these shifts can be controlled by selecting the nucleotide sequence used to coat the nanotubes. Biomedical, optoelectronic, and single-photon emission applications are foreseen.

Abstract
PURPOSE It has been reported that dacarbazine (DTIC) is photogenotoxic. The purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanism of photogenotoxicity induced by DTIC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined DNA damage induced by UVA-irradiated DTIC using 32P-5'-end-labeled DNA fragments obtained from human genes. Formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in calf thymus DNA was measured by high performance liquid chromatograph with an electrochemical detector. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping experiments were performed to detect radical species generated from UVA-irradiated DTIC. RESULTS UVA-irradiated DTIC caused DNA damage at guanine residues, especially at the 5'-GGT-3' sequence in the presence of Cu(II) and also induced 8-oxodG generation in calf thymus DNA. DTIC-induced photodamage to DNA fragments was partially inhibited by catalase, whereas 8-oxodG formation was significantly increased by catalase. NaN3, a carbene scavenger, inhibited DNA damage and 8-oxodG formation in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that carbene intermediates are involved. The ESR spin-trapping experiments demonstrated the generation of aryl radicals in the process of photodegradation of DTIC. CONCLUSION Photoactivated DTIC generates the carbene and aryl radicals, which may induce both DNA adduct and 8-oxodG formation, resulting in photogenotoxicity. This study could provide an insight into the safe usage of DTIC.

Abstract
Increasing evidence reveals the carcinogenicity of UVA radiation. We demonstrated that UVA-irradiated NADH induced damage to (32)P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the p53 gene in the presence of Cu(II). Formamidopyrimidine glycosylase (Fpg)-sensitive lesions were formed at guanine residues, whereas piperidine-labile lesions occurred frequently at thymine residues. Formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), upon UVA exposure in the presence of Cu(II), increased depending on NADH concentration. Catalase and bathocuproine, a Cu(I)-specific chelator, inhibited the DNA damage, suggesting the involvement of reactive species derived from H(2)O(2) and Cu(I). UVA-irradiated riboflavin induced DNA cleavage through electron transfer at 5' guanine of the 5'-GG-3' sequence with both Fpg and piperidine treatments; Fpg induced less cleavage at the guanine residues than piperidine. These results imply that NADH may participate as an endogenous photosensitizer in UVA carcinogenesis via H(2)O(2) generation, producing metal-mediated mutagenic lesions such as 8-oxodG.

Abstract
UVA, which accounts for approximately 95% of solar UV radiation, can cause mutations and skin cancer. Based mainly on the results of our study, this paper summarizes the mechanisms of UVA-induced DNA damage in the presence of various photosensitizers, and also proposes a new mechanism for its chemoprevention. UVA radiation induces DNA damage at the 5'-G of 5'-GG-3' sequence in double-stranded DNA through Type I mechanism, which involves electron transfer from guanine to activated photosensitizers. Endogenous sensitizers such as riboflavin and pterin derivatives and an exogenous sensitizer nalidixic acid mediate DNA photodamage via this mechanism. The major Type II mechanism involves the generation of singlet oxygen from photoactivated sensitizers, including hematoporphyrin and a fluoroquinolone antibacterial lomefloxacin, resulting in damage to guanines without preference for consecutive guanines. UVA also produces superoxide anion radical by an electron transfer from photoexcited sensitizers to oxygen (minor Type II mechanism), and DNA damage is induced by reactive species generated through the interaction of hydrogen peroxide with metal ions. The involvement of these mechanisms in UVA carcinogenesis is discussed. In addition, we found that xanthone derivatives inhibited DNA damage caused by photoexcited riboflavin via the quenching of its excited triplet state. It is thus considered that naturally occurring quenchers including xanthone derivatives may act as novel chemopreventive agents against photocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
We developed a novel method for the simultaneous extraction and analysis of total tissue RNA and DNA to quantify the RNA and DNA oxidation products 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine using HPLC coupled to electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). The protein denaturing agents guanidine thiocyanate and phenol/chloroform at neutral pH were found to be very efficient for the isolation of RNA and DNA from rat brain, liver and muscle. The method is very fast, allows extraction at 0 degrees C, gives high yields of pure RNA and DNA with low background oxidation levels, and also determines the RNA/DNA ratio. Experiments with isolated RNA and DNA exposed to the Fenton reagents H2O2/ascorbate/Fe3+ (or Cu2+) resulted in significantly greater RNA oxidation. The RNase inhibitor 2-mercaptoethanol, commonly used for RNA extraction, acted as a pro-oxidant during nucleic acid extraction, an effect attenuated by the inclusion of the metal chelator deferoxamine mesylate. In vivo, administration of doxorubicin (an oxidant generator) to Fisher-344 rats resulted in a significant increase in liver RNA oxidation, but no significantly increased DNA oxidation. This new method could be useful to assess oxidatively damaged RNA and DNA simultaneously, and our data show that RNA is more susceptible to oxidative stress than DNA in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
Ozone has been shown to induce lung tumors in mice. The reactivity of ozone with DNA in an aqueous solution was investigated by a DNA sequencing technique using 32P-labeled DNA fragments. Ozone induced cleavages in the deoxyribose-phosphate backbone of double-stranded DNA, which were reduced by hydroxyl radical scavengers, suggesting the participation of hydroxyl radicals in the cleavages. The ozone-induced DNA cleavages were enhanced with piperidine treatment, which induces cleavages at sites of base modification, but the inhibitory effect of hydroxyl radical scavengers on the piperidine-induced cleavages was limited. Main piperidine-labile sites were guanine and thymine residues. Cleavages at some guanine and thymine residues after piperidine treatment became more predominant with denatured single-stranded DNA. Exposure of calf thymus DNA to ozone resulted in a dose-dependent increase of the 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine formation, which was partially inhibited by hydroxyl radical scavengers. ESR studies using 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) showed that aqueous ozone produced the hydroxyl radical adduct of DMPO. In addition, the fluorescein-dependent chemiluminescence was detected during the decomposition of ozone in a buffer solution and the enhancing effect of D2O was observed, suggesting the formation of singlet oxygen. However, no or little enhancing effect of D2O on the ozone-induced DNA damage was observed. These results suggest that DNA backbone cleavages were caused by ozone via the production of hydroxyl radicals, while DNA base modifications were mainly caused by ozone itself and the participation of hydroxyl radicals and/or singlet oxygen in base modifications is small, if any. A possible link of ozone-induced DNA damage to inflammation-associated carcinogenesis as well as air pollution-related carcinogenesis is discussed.

Abstract
3(')-Azido-3(')-deoxythymidine (AZT) is carcinogenic to experimental animals and can cause the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2(')-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in humans and animals. To clarify the mechanism of carcinogenesis by AZT, we investigated DNA damage induced by its photodegradation products, using 32P-5(')-end-labeled DNA fragments obtained from human genes. Following exposure to UVB, AZT induced DNA damage in the presence of Cu(II). Catalase inhibited DNA damage, indicating the involvement of H(2)O(2). UVB-exposed AZT plus Cu(II) induced 8-oxodG formation in a dose-dependent manner. Mass spectrum of UVB-exposed AZT demonstrated the generation of a hydroxylamine derivative. The colorimetric determination suggested that AZT was converted into the hydroxylamine derivative depending on UVB doses. UVB-exposed AZT induced double base damage at the 5(')-ACG-3(') sequence, complementary to a hot spot of the p53 gene. The basic compound, hydroxylamine, showed similar site specificity. The hydroxylamine derivative produced by photodegradation and/or possible metabolism of AZT induces oxidative DNA damage, which may participate in carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Homocysteine is considered to be an important risk factor for cancer as well as cardiovascular diseases. To clarify whether homocysteine has potential carcinogenicity, we investigated formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), which is known to be correlated with the incidence of cancer, induced by homocysteine in human cultured cell lines. Homocysteine increased the amount of 8-oxodG in human leukemia cell line HL-60, whereas the amount of 8-oxodG in its hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-resistant clone HP100 was not increased. We investigated the mechanism for oxidative DNA damage by homocysteine using (32)P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from human tumor suppressor genes and a proto-oncogene. There were two mechanisms by which homocysteine caused DNA damage in the presence of Cu(II). A low concentration of homocysteine (20 microM) frequently induced piperidine-labile sites at thymine residues, whereas a high concentration of homocysteine (100 microM) resulted in damage principally to guanine residues. Catalase inhibited DNA damage by 20 microM homocysteine, indicating the participation of H(2)O(2), but was ineffective in preventing DNA damage by 100 microM homocysteine. Experiments using a singlet oxygen probe showed that 100 microM homocysteine enhanced chemiluminescence intensity in deuterium oxide more than that in H(2)O. These results indicated that the metal-dependent DNA damage through H(2)O(2) is likely to be a more relevant mechanism for homocysteine carcinogenicity.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX), an antineoplastic agent, demonstrates phototoxicity. The mechanism of damage to biomacromolecules induced by photoirradiated MTX was examined using 32P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from a human gene. Photoirradiated MTX caused DNA cleavage specifically at the underlined G in 5'-GG and 5'-GGG sequences in double-stranded DNA only when the DNA fragments were treated with piperidine, which suggests that DNA cleavage was caused by base modification with little or no strand breakage. With denatured single-stranded DNA the damage occurred at most guanine residues. The amount of formation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo), an oxidative product of 2'-deoxyguanosine, in double-stranded DNA exceeded that in single-stranded DNA. These results suggest that photoirradiated MTX participates in 8-oxodGuo formation at the underlined G in 5'-GG and 5'-GGG sequences in double-stranded DNA through electron transfer, and then 8-oxodGuo undergoes further oxidation into piperidine-labile products. Fluorescence measurement, high-pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry have demonstrated that photoexcited MTX is hydrolyzed into 2,4-diamino-6-(hydroxymethyl)pteridine (DHP). DNA damage induced by DHP was observed in a similar manner as was the damage induced by MTX. The extent of DNA damage and the formation of 8-oxodGuo by DHP were much larger than those induced by MTX. The kinetic analysis, based on the time course of DNA oxidation by photoirradiated MTX, suggests that DNA damage is caused by photoexcited DHP rather than by photoexcited MTX. In conclusion, photoexcited MTX undergoes hydrolysis through intramolecular electron transfer, resulting in the formation of DHP, which exhibits a phototoxic effect caused by oxidation of biomacromolecules through photoinduced electron transfer.

Abstract
Reactive species generated by chemicals and UV radiation can cause sequence-specific DNA damage and play important roles in mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and aging. We have investigated sequence specificity of oxidative stress-mediated DNA damage by using 32P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the human c-Ha-ras-1 and p53 genes. Free hydroxyl radical causes DNA damage with no marked site specificity. Reactive nitrogen species, sulfate radicals, nitrogen-centered radicals, benzoyloxyl radical and alkoxyl radical show different sequence specificity. Benzoyloxyl radical specifically causes damage to the 5'-G in GG sequence. UVA radiation also causes DNA damage at this site through electron transfer in the presence of certain photosensitizers. The 5'-G in GG sequence is easily oxidized because a large part of the highest occupied molecular orbital is distributed on this site. On the basis of these findings, the sequence specificity of DNA damage is presumably determined by (a) redox potential of reactive species; (b) ionization potential of DNA bases; and (c) site-specific binding of metal ion to DNA. Here we discuss the mechanisms of sequence-specific DNA damage in relation to carcinogenesis and aging.

Abstract
We examined the viability of Escherichia coli transformants harboring various carotenoids synthesizing genes in a medium containing an enzymatic singlet oxygen generating system, which contained myeloperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide and Br(-) at pH 4.5. Singlet oxygen quenching activities of various carotenoids in phosphatidyl choline micelles in aqueous media were also studied using the same enzymatic singlet oxygen generating system. Viability of the transformants producing carotenoids was higher than that of the wild type E. coli in the singlet oxygen generation mixture. Of the transformants tested, the viability of zeaxanthin-diglucoside producing transformant was the highest. Carotenoids in increasing order of k(q) values were beta-carotene, a cyclic carotene<zeaxanthin with hydroxy groups < or =lycopene, an acyclic carotene<canthaxanthin and astaxanthin with keto groups <<zeaxanthin-diglucoside. The k(q) value of zeaxanthin-diglucoside was 3.5 times higher than that of beta-carotene. These results suggest that orientation of the carotenoids in lipid layers of micelles and also in phospholipid membrane of bacteria is important for quenching of singlet oxygen. Furthermore, the viability of transformants producing lycopene and phytoene was almost as high as that of the transformant producing zeaxanthin-glucoside.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibacterials, which have been used for the treatment of a variety of infectious diseases, are reported to be photocarcinogenic. We investigated the mechanisms of DNA damage by UVA radiation (365 nm) plus fluoroquinolone antibacterials using 32P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the human c-Ha-ras-1 proto-oncogene and the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Photocarcinogenic nalidixic acid (NA), which is an old member of synthetic quinolone antibacterials, caused DNA damage specifically at 5'-GG-3' sequences, whereas lomefloxacin (LFLX) did not exhibit the site preference for consecutive guanines. LFLX-induced DNA photodamage was inhibited by sodium azide and enhanced in D2O, suggesting that singlet oxygen plays the key role in the DNA damage. LFLX plus UVA induced the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) depending on LFLX concentrations, and 8-oxodG formation was enhanced in single-stranded DNA. In contrast, NA induced larger amounts of 8-oxodG in double-stranded DNA. ESR spin destruction method revealed that NA induced DNA photodamage through electron transfer but LFLX did not. These findings indicate that DNA damage induced by photoactivated LFLX and NA plays an important role in expression of their photocarcinogenicity.

Abstract
On irradiation at UVB wavelengths, in aerated neutral aqueous solution, the anti-inflammatory drug suprofen (SP) photosensitizes the production of alkali-labile cleavage sites in DNA much more efficiently than direct strand breaks. It is active at submillimolar concentrations despite having no significant binding affinity for DNA. Gel sequencing studies utilizing 32P-end-labeled oligonucleotides have revealed that piperidine-sensitive lesions are formed predominantly at the positions of guanine (G) bases, with the extent of modification being UV dose- and SP concentration-dependent. Quite distinct patterns of G-specific damage are observed in single-stranded and duplex DNA molecules. The uniform attack at all G residues in single-stranded DNA, which is enhanced in D2O, is compatible with a Type-II mechanism. SP is a known generator of singlet oxygen whose participation in the reaction is supported by the effects of quenchers and scavengers. In duplex DNA, piperidine-induced cleavage occurs with high selectivity at the 5'-G of GG and (less prominently) GA doublets. This behavior is characteristic of a Type-I process involving electron transfer from DNA to photoexcited SP molecules. The ability of SP to sensitize the formation of Type-I and Type-II photo-oxidation products from 2'-deoxyguanosine attests to the feasibility of competing mechanisms in DNA.

Abstract
Copper in the presence of excess 1,10-phenanthroline, a reducing agent, and H2O2 causes DNA base damage as well as strand breakage. We have reported in previous work that a strong chemiluminescence was followed by DNA base damage in this system, which is characteristic of guanine. In the present work, the mechanism of the chemiluminescence was studied. Results show that the luminescence was inhibited by all three classes of reactive oxygen species (*OH, O2-, (1)O2) scavengers to different degrees. Singlet oxygen scavengers showed the most powerful inhibition while the other two classes of scavengers were relatively weaker. The emission intensity in D2O was 3-fold that in H2O. Comparing the effect of scavengers on the luminescence of DNA with that of dGMP, the ratio of inhibition was similar. On the other hand, DNA breakage analysis showed that inhibition by the singlet oxygen scavenger NaN3 of strand breakage was strong and comparable to that of the scavengers of the two oxygen radicals. The results suggest that singlet oxygen may be a major factor for the chemiluminescence of guanine, while DNA strand breakage may be caused by many active species.

Abstract
Free hydroxyl radicals (free (.)OH), singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)), or (. )OH produced by DNA-copper-hydroperoxo complexes are possible DNA-damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the reaction system containing copper, catechol, and DNA. para-Chlorobenzoic acid (pCBA) degradation studies revealed that CuCl(2) mixed with catechol produced free (.)OH. In the presence of DNA, however, inhibition of the pCBA degradation suggested that another ROS is responsible for the DNA degradation. Of a series of ROS scavengers investigated, only KI, NaN(3), and Na-formate-all of the salts tested-strongly inhibited the DNA degradation, suggesting that the ionic strength rather than the reactivity of the individual scavengers could be responsible for the observed inhibition. The ionic strength effect was confirmed by increasing the concentration of phosphate buffer, which is a poor (.)OH scavenger, and was interpreted as the result of destabilization of DNA-copper-hydroperoxo complexes. Piperidine-labile site patterns in DNA degraded by copper and catechol showed that the mixture of Cu(II) and catechol degrades DNA via the intermediate formation of a DNA-copper-hydroperoxo complex. Replacement of guanine by 7-deazaguanine did not retard the DNA degradation, suggesting that the DNA-copper-hydroperoxo complexes do not bind to the guanine N-7 as proposed in the literature.

Abstract
A tetracationic anthraquinone derivative (27AQS2) binds to hairpin DNA and irradiation of the bound quinone leads to selective strand cleavage. NMR spectroscopy reveals that 27AQS2 binds at the loop and to the stem-loop junction of hairpin DNA. UV irradiation of the bound quinone causes cleavage of the DNA in the loop region and at guanines in the stem region. Inclusion of ethidium bromide in the reaction mixture leads to a greatly increased selectivity for loop cleavage. Spectroscopic and chemical evidence suggests a three component mechanism for reaction. The ability to target single-stranded regions of DNA structures is an important property of this photonuclease.

Abstract
meso-Tetrakis[4-(carboxymethyleneoxy)phenyl]porphyrin (H2T4CPP) cleaves pBR322 plasmid DNA to single strand breaks in the presence of molecular oxygen and visible light. The above photocleavage was much more efficient in D2O buffer of sodium phosphate (pD = 7.4) than H2O buffer of sodium phosphate (pH = 7.4). In addition this photocleavage of plasmid DNA was inhibited in the presence of sodium azide, lipoic acid, tert-butanol or mannitol suggesting the involvement of 1O2 and.OH in the photocleavage of plasmid DNA. The photocleavage was observed to be more efficient in the presence of H2T4CPP than in the presence of H2CPP [meso-tetrakis (4-carboxy-phenyl)porphyrin]. Our spectral studies using UV-visible, fluorescence and circular dichroism techniques suggest that H2T4CPP binds to DNA while H2CPP does not. Thus, the difference in photocleavage may be caused by the nonbinding of H2CPP and by the binding of H2T4CPP to calf thymus (CT) DNA.

Abstract
In the present article, we report that ultraviolet (UV 254 nm) radiation substantially induced the formation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in purified DNA. The formation of 8-OHdG, a hallmarker of oxidative DNA damage, increased linearly up to 25 kJ/m2 and was dependent on the presence of oxygen in the solution. Deoxygenation by nitrogen significantly reduced the yield of 8-OHdG by UV radiation, whereas oxygenation with 100% oxygen substantially enhanced the yield. The hydroxyl radical (HO.) scavenger dimethysulfoxide (DMSO) dramatically quenched the formation of 8-OHdG by the ionizing radiation and Fenton reaction, but enhanced the formation of UV-induced 8-OHdG. Further studies showed that DMSO and mannitol, two predominant HO. scavengers, enhanced the levels of UV-induced 8-OHdG in a dose-dependent fashion, suggesting that UV-induced 8-OHdG is independent of the generation of HO.. The use of deuterium oxide (D2O), which prolongs the half life of singlet oxygen (1O2), substantially enhanced the yield of 8-OHdG by UV radiation, but not that by Fenton reaction. In contrast, sodium azide, a more and less specific 1O2 quencher, substantially reduced the levels of 8-OHdG by both UV radiation and Fenton reaction, indicating that sodium azide lacks the quenching specificity of 1O2 and HO.. It is proposed that UV induced 8-OHdG proceeds through a singlet oxygen involvement mechanism, rather than the generation of hydroxyl radicals.

Abstract
The aim of this investigation is the evaluation of DNA interaction of with tetraruthenated porphyrin (TRP) and of DNA damage in the presence of light. Direct-fluorescence and electronic absorption measurements after incubation of DNA with TRP indicate strong binding between pBR322 DNA or calf thymus DNA with the modified porphyrin. Exposure of pBR322 DNA to TRP (up to 3 microM) and light leads to single-strand break formation as determined by the conversion of the supercoiled form (form I) of the plasmid into the nicked circular form (form II). Oxidative DNA base damage was evaluated by the detection of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) after irradiation of calf thymus DNA in the presence of the TRP. The data demonstrated a dose and time dependence with each type of DNA damage. These data indicate (1) a specificity of the binding mode and (2) type I and II photoinduced mechanisms leading to strand scission activity and 8-oxodGuo formation. Accordingly, singlet molecular oxygen formation, after TRP excitation, was confirmed by near-infrared emission. From these investigations a potential application of TRP in photodynamic therapy is proposed.

Abstract
In order to obtain information concerning the mechanism(s) of metallo-phthalocyanine (MePcS4) photosensitized damage of DNA constituents, the EPR-spin trapping method in conjunction with liquid chromatography was used to study thymidine (dThd) free radicals formed during photosensitization or exposure to gamma-radiation in solution. Under specified conditions two dThd free radical species, 5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine-6-yl and 6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine-5-yl, were formed both during exposure to ionizing radiation and photosensitization. These results imply that identical reactive intermediates (*OH radicals) are involved in the radiolytic and photosensitized oxidation of dThd. A light-dependent, Fenton-type mechanism is proposed to explain the generation of hydroxyl radicals during MePcS4 photosensitization.

Abstract
Although numerous photosensitizers have been used experimentally to decontaminate viruses in cellular blood components, little is known about their mechanisms of photoinactivation. Using M13 bacteriophage and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) as model viruses, we have investigated alteration of the viral genome, protein and envelope after phototreatment. Methylene blue (MB) and aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonate (AlPcS4) phototreatment inactivated bacteriophage M13 and decreased the fraction of single-stranded circular genomic DNA (sc-DNA) by converting it to linear form. This conversion was enhanced by treating the extracted DNA with piperidine at 55 degrees C. Piperidine-labile breaks were well correlated to phage survival (5.1% sc-DNA at 1.7% phage survival for MB) under conditions where only minor differences were seen in the relative abundance of M13 coat protein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Neither aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc) nor merocyanine 540 (MC540) inactivated M13 nor were there significant changes observed in DNA and coat protein. Methylene blue, AlPcS4 and AlPc inactivated VSV and inhibited fusion of the virus envelope to Vero cells at pH 5.7 (i.e. with plasma membrane). However, the degree of this inhibition was small compared to the extent of virus inactivation (43% inhibition vs. 4.7 log10 or 99.998% inactivation, for MB). In contrast, an antibody to VSV G-spike protein inhibited fusion at pH 5.7 by 52% with a concomitant decline in VSV infectivity of 0.15 log10 (30%). Few changes were observed in the relative abundance of G protein for MB and AlPcS4 phototreated samples and no additional protein bands were observed on SDS-PAGE.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Human NHIK 3025 cells were sensitized to light by incubation with Photofrin II (PII) and aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulphonate (AlPCS4). Light exposure of sensitized cells at 1 degree C induced DNA strand breaks causing unwinding of DNA in alkali. Subsequent to light exposure, cells were treated with deoxyribonuclease I (DNAse I) which produces DNA strand breaks in active chromatin. The combination of photo-damage, killing > 95% of the cells, and treatment with DNAse I caused the same degree of DNA unwinding as DNAse I treatment alone. This was not the case for X-irradiation. Thus, the photosensitized DNA strand breaks were selectively induced in or close to DNAse I-sensitive sites.

Abstract
In the present investigation, cultures of rat hepatocytes were treated with Photosan 3 (PS 3) and examined for possible mutagenic effects in the absence of light. Hepatocytes are particularly useful in genotoxicity studies because of their capacity to metabolize a large variety of promutagenic/procarcinogenic compounds. The cytogenetic endpoints determined were chromosomal aberrations and the induction of micronuclei. Three hours of incubation with PS 3 (at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 micrograms ml-1) induced significantly elevated levels of chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei already at the lowest concentration of 0.1 micrograms ml-1 compared with the controls. A concentration of 100 micrograms ml-1 PS 3 appeared to be cytotoxic: no mitotic figures could be detected.

DNA strand breaks, measured by alkaline elution, and hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) mutation were studied in V79 cells after photochemical treatment (PCT) or exposure to X-rays. Cells were incubated with the photosensitizers Photofrin II (PII) and three closely related porphyrins tetra-(3-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (3THPP), meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphine (TPPS4) and meso-tetra-(N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphine (TMPyPH2). These dyes are assumed to act on cellular targets mainly via singlet oxygen when excited by light. While the hydrophilic TPPS4 and TMPyPH2 did not photoinduce mutants to any significant extent, both lipophilic dyes, 3THPP and PII, were significantly mutagenic when excited by light. On the other hand, TPPS4 was the most efficient sensitizer of alkali-labile DNA strand breaks, while TMPyPH2 did not induce any significant amount of either type of DNA damage. Surprisingly, no correlation between the two parameters was found for PCT, either after exposures inactivating 50% of the cells or after exposures inactivating 90% of them. The lack of correlation between the yields of DNA strand breaks and of mutants could not be explained by differences in the intracellular localization pattern of the dyes.

Abstract
The light-induced reactions of methylene blue and related phenothiazinium dyes with biological substrates are described. The properties of the excited states of the dyes, their reactions with nucleic acids and their photosensitised chemical modifications of nucleic acid bases are examined. Reports on phenothiazinium dye-induced damage to proteins, lipids, biological membranes, organelles, viruses, bacteria, mammalian cells and carcinomas are reviewed.

Abstract
DNA strand breaks and hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) mutants were measured in parallel in photochemically treated (PCT) cells and compared at the same level of cell survival. Chinese hamster fibroblasts (V79 cells) were either incubated with the lipophilic dyes tetra(3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (3THPP) and Photofrin II (PII), the anionic dye meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (TPPS4) or the cationic dye meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphine (p-TMPyPH2) before light exposure. In the cells, the lipophilic dyes were localized in membranes, including the nuclear membrane, while the hydrophilic dyes were taken up primarily into spots in the cytoplasm. In addition, the hydrophilic TPPS4 was distributed homogeneously throughout the whole cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. According to the HPRT mutation test, the mutagenicity of light doses survived by 10% of the cells was a factor of six higher in the presence of 3THPP than of PII, whereas for X-rays it was a factor of three higher than for PCT with 3THPP. Light exposure in the presence of the hydrophilic dyes TPPS4 and p-TMPyPH2 was not significantly mutagenic. There was no correlation between the induced rates of HPRT mutants and of DNA strand breaks. Thus, TPPS4 was the most efficient sensitizer with regard to DNA strand breaks when compared at the same level of cell survival, followed by 3THPP, PII and p-TMPyPH2. Hence, the rate of DNA strand breaks cannot be used to predict the mutagenicity of PCT.

Abstract
The specific recognition of DNA modifications by repair endonucleases was used to characterize the DNA damage induced by photosensitizers in the presence of visible light. Under cell-free conditions, chemically unrelated photosensitizers (methylene blue, acridine orange, proflavin, riboflavin, hematoporphyrin) induce the same type of DNA damage. It is characterized by a high number of base modifications sensitive to the repair endonuclease FPG protein (formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase), while both the number of DNA strand breaks and the number of sites of base loss (sensitive to exonuclease III or endonuclease IV) is low. Therefore the damage is markedly different from that induced by hydroxyl radicals. Mechanistically, the generation of the base modifications sensitive to FPG protein involves singlet oxygen in some, but possibly not all cases, as substituting D2O for H2O increases the reaction yield six-fold in the case of methylene blue, but only 1.4-fold in the case of acridine orange. In plasmids from Salmonella typhimurium strains treated with methylene blue or acridine orange plus light and from Escherichia coli strains treated with acridine orange or proflavin plus light, the same type of damage was observed as under cell-free conditions. In L1210 mouse leukemia cells exposed to acridine orange plus light, the numbers of modifications sensitive to FPG protein and exonuclease III were quantified, in addition to strand breaks, by a modified alkaline elution assay. Again, the number of base modifications sensitive to FPG protein was found to be several-fold higher than the number of strand breaks and sites of base loss. It has to be concluded that the DNA damage in the intact cells is not mediated by hydroxyl radicals or cellular nucleases, but by the same mechanism as operates under cell-free conditions with these agents.
