Nakamura J, Carro S, Gold A, Zhang Z. An unexpected butadiene diolepoxide-mediated genotoxicity implies alternative mechanism for 1,3-butadiene carcinogenicity. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 266:129149. [PMID: 33310515 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.129149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is abundant in combustion products such as cigarette smoke. While BD has been classified as a known human carcinogen, a long-standing question is the identity of the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite in humans. We hypothesize that 3,4-epoxybutane-1,2-diol (EBD) may play a critical role in human carcinogenesis due to its high bioavailability. We utilized a differential toxicity assay for BD metabolites and newly synthesized EBD analogs in a series of isogenic chicken cells lacking specific DNA repair proteins to address the mode of action of BD genotoxicity and infer a mode of action. Surprisingly, as with the diepoxide 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), the monoepoxide EBD showed remarkable toxicity to cells deficient in Fanconi anemia (FANC) genes. This observation suggests that EBD may be transformed into a bifunctional metabolite and forms interstrand cross-links. EBD and its analog with a hydroxy substituent at C1 were found to be highly toxic to FANCD2-deficient chicken and human cells. The Results suggest that EBD may be transformed to a bifunctional epoxy aldehyde, perhaps by alcohol dehydrogenase, to which the observed FANC sensitivity could be attributed. The implications of this study are very important in considering mechanisms by which EBD may cause leukemia and lymphoma in humans exposed to BD.

Abstract
Many human cancers are caused by environmental and lifestyle factors. Biomarkers of exposure and risk developed by our team have provided critical data on internal exposure to toxic and genotoxic chemicals and their connection to cancer in humans. This review highlights our research using biomarkers to identify key factors influencing cancer risk as well as their application to assess the effectiveness of exposure intervention and chemoprevention protocols. The use of these biomarkers to understand individual susceptibility to the harmful effects of tobacco products is a powerful example of the value of this type of research and has provided key data confirming the link between tobacco smoke exposure and cancer risk. Furthermore, this information has led to policy changes that have reduced tobacco use and consequently, the tobacco-related cancer burden. Recent technological advances in mass spectrometry led to the ability to detect DNA damage in human tissues as well as the development of adductomic approaches. These new methods allowed for the detection of DNA adducts in tissues from patients with cancer, providing key evidence that exposure to carcinogens leads to DNA damage in the target tissue. These advances will provide valuable insights into the etiologic causes of cancer that are not tobacco-related.See all articles in this CEBP Focus section, "Environmental Carcinogenesis: Pathways to Prevention."

Abstract
Epidemiological studies of 1,3-butadiene (BD) exposures have reported a possible association with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), which is defined by the presence of the t(9;22) translocation (Philadelphia chromosome) creating an oncogenic BCR-ABL fusion gene. Butadiene diepoxide (DEB), the most mutagenic of three epoxides resulting from BD, forms DNA-DNA crosslink adducts that can lead to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Thus, a study was designed to determine if (±)-DEB exposure of HL60 cells, a promyelocytic leukemia cell line lacking the Philadelphia chromosome, can produce t(9;22) translocations. In HL60 cells exposed for 3 h to 0-10 μM DEB, overlapping dose-response curves suggested a direct relationship between 1,4-bis-(guan-7-yl)-2,3-butanediol crosslink adduct formation (R = 0.977, P = 0.03) and cytotoxicity (R = 0.961, P = 0.002). Experiments to define the relationships between cytotoxicity and the induction of micronuclei (MN), a dosimeter of DNA DSBs, showed that 24 h exposures of HL60 cells to 0-5.0 μM DEB caused significant positive correlations between the concentration and (i) the degree of cytotoxicity (R = 0.998, p = 0.002) and (ii) the frequency of MN (R = 0.984, p = 0.016) at 48 h post exposure. To determine the relative induction of MN and t(9;22) translocations following exposures to DEB, or x-rays as a positive control for formation of t(9;22) translocations, HL60 cells were exposed for 24 h to 0, 1, 2.5, or 5 μM DEB or to 0, 2.0, 3.5, or 5.0 Gy x-rays, or treatments demonstrated to yield 0, 20%, 50%, or 80% cytotoxicity. Treatments between 0 and 3.5 Gy x-rays caused significant dose-related increases in both MN (p < 0.001) and t(9;22) translocations (p = 0.01), whereas DEB exposures causing similar cytotoxicity levels did not increase translocations over background. These data indicate that, while DEB induces DNA DSBs required for formation of MN and translocations, acute DEB exposures of HL60 cells did not produce the Philadelphia chromosome obligatory for CML.

Abstract
DNA oligonucleotides containing site-specific N7-guanine monoadducts of cisplatin, diepoxybutane, and epichlorohydrin were used as templates for DNA synthesis by two bacterial DNA polymerases and human polymerase β. These polymerases were able to bypass the lesions effectively, although the efficiency was decreased, with inhibition increasing with the size of the lesion. Fidelity of incorporation was essentially unaltered, suggesting that N7-guanine monoadducts do not significantly contribute to the mutational spectra of these agents.

Abstract
The adverse effects of the human carcinogen 1,3-butadiene (BD) are believed to be mediated by its DNA-reactive metabolites such as 3,4-epoxybut-1-ene (EB) and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB). The specific DNA adducts responsible for toxic and mutagenic effects of BD, however, have yet to be identified. Recent in vitro polymerase bypass studies of BD-induced adenine (BD-dA) adducts show that DEB-induced N6,N6-DHB-dA (DHB = 2,3-dihydroxybutan-1,4-diyl) and 1,N6-γ-HMHP-dA (HMHP = 2-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl) adducts block replicative DNA polymerases but are bypassed by human polymerases η and κ, leading to point mutations and deletions. In contrast, EB-induced N6-HB-dA (HB = 2-hydroxy-3-buten-1-yl) does not block DNA synthesis and is nonmutagenic. In the present study, we employed a newly established in vivo lesion-induced mutagenesis/genotoxicity assay via next-generation sequencing to evaluate the in vivo biological consequences of S-N6-HB-dA, R,R-N6,N6-DHB-dA, S,S-N6,N6-DHB-dA, and R,S-1,N6-γ-HMHP-dA. In addition, the effects of AlkB-mediated direct reversal repair, MutM and MutY catalyzed base excision repair, and DinB translesion synthesis on the BD-dA adducts in bacterial cells were investigated. BD-dA adducts showed the expected inhibition of DNA replication in vivo but were not substantively mutagenic in any of the genetic environments investigated. This result is in contrast with previous in vitro observations and opens the possibility that E. coli repair and bypass systems other than the ones studied here are able to minimize the mutagenic properties of BD-dA adducts.

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
The important industrial and environmental carcinogen 1,3-butadiene (BD) forms a range of adenine adducts in DNA, including N6-(2-hydroxy-3-buten-1-yl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (N6-HB-dA), 1,N6-(2-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (1,N6-HMHP-dA), and N6,N6-(2,3-dihydroxybutan-1,4-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (N6,N6-DHB-dA). If not removed prior to DNA replication, these lesions can contribute to A → T and A → G mutations commonly observed following exposure to BD and its metabolites. In this study, base excision repair of BD-induced 2'-deoxyadenosine (BD-dA) lesions was investigated. Synthetic DNA duplexes containing site-specific and stereospecific (S)-N6-HB-dA, (R,S)-1,N6-HMHP-dA, and (R,R)-N6,N6-DHB-dA adducts were prepared by a postoligomerization strategy. Incision assays with nuclear extracts from human fibrosarcoma (HT1080) cells have revealed that BD-dA adducts were recognized and cleaved by a BER mechanism, with the relative excision efficiency decreasing in the following order: (S)-N6-HB-dA > (R,R)-N6,N6-DHB-dA > (R,S)-1,N6-HMHP-dA. The extent of strand cleavage at the adduct site was decreased in the presence of BER inhibitor methoxyamine and by competitor duplexes containing known BER substrates. Similar strand cleavage assays conducted using several eukaryotic DNA glycosylases/lyases (AAG, Mutyh, hNEIL1, and hOGG1) have failed to observe correct incision products at the BD-dA lesion sites, suggesting that a different BER enzyme may be involved in the removal of BD-dA adducts in human cells.

Abstract
Post-oligomerization synthesis is a useful technique for preparing site-specifically modified DNA oligomers. This approach involves site-specific incorporation of inherently reactive halogenated nucleobases into DNA strands using standard solid-phase synthesis, followed by post-oligomerization nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions with carcinogen-derived synthons. In these reactions, the inherent reactivities of DNA and carcinogen-derived species are reversed: the modified DNA nucleobase acts as an electrophile, while the carcinogen-derived species acts as a nucleophile. In the present protocol, we describe the use of the post-oligomerization approach to prepare DNA strands containing site- and stereospecific N6-adenine and N1,N6-adenine adducts induced by epoxide metabolites of the known human and animal carcinogen 1,3-butadiene (BD). The resulting oligomers containing site-specific, structurally defined DNA adducts can be used in structural and biological studies to reveal the roles of specific BD adducts in carcinogenesis and mutagenesis.

Abstract
The α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group is recognized as alert for mutagenicity, attributed to (1) its direct reaction with DNA, counteractable by glutathione (GSH), and (2) oxidative stress caused indirectly by GSH depletion. Accordingly, the α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated lactone patulin (PAT), a mycotoxin detected in fruits and products derived thereof, is known to induce gene, chromosome, and genome mutations in vitro, its mutagenicity correlating inversely with intracellular GSH levels. Thus, the reactivity of PAT against DNA bases and nucleosides in the absence and presence of GSH and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) was investigated under cell-free conditions using HPLC mass spectrometry techniques for identification of reaction products. Adduct formation with all four nucleobases as well as with purine base nucleosides occurred even in the presence of GSH, revealing several adducts of PAT, mono- and disubstituted with nucleobases/nucleosides as well as novel GSH-PAT adducts. In addition, novel mixed GSH-PAT-nucleobase adducts were observed. These adducts exhibited a ketohexanoic acid-type structure of the PAT molecule, C6 substituted with GSH and linking C1 of PAT with nitrogens of nucleobases/nucleosides via an amide bond. Formation of GSH-PAT-adenine adducts was not prevented by GSTs, and excess of GSH needed to reduce their formation was higher than for PAT-adenine adducts. The formation of mixed GSH-DNA base adducts has not been described for PAT or any other α,β-unsaturated carbonyl before, although the reaction mechanism seems to be applicable to a variety of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls occurring in food and in the environment.

Abstract
Human carcinogen 1,3-butadiene (BD) undergoes metabolic activation to 3,4-epoxy-1-butene (EB), hydroxymethylvinyl ketone (HMVK), 3,4-epoxy-1,2-butanediol (EBD) and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB). Among these, DEB is by far the most genotoxic metabolite and is considered the ultimate carcinogenic species of BD. We have shown previously that BD-exposed laboratory mice form 8- to 10-fold more DEB-DNA adducts than rats exposed at the same conditions, which may be responsible for the enhanced sensitivity of mice to BD-mediated cancer. In the present study, we have identified 1,4-bis-(N-acetyl-L-cystein-S-yl)butane-2,3-diol (bis-BDMA) as a novel DEB-specific urinary biomarker. Isotope dilution high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry was employed to quantify bis-BDMA and three other BD-mercapturic acids, 2-(N-acetyl-L-cystein-S-yl)-1-hydroxybut-3-ene/1-(N-acetyl-L-cystein-S-yl)-2-hydroxy-but-3-ene (MHBMA, from EB), 4-(N-acetyl-L-cystein-S-yl)-1,2-dihydroxybutane (DHBMA, from HMVK) and 4-(N-acetyl-L-cystein-S-yl)-1,2,3-trihydroxybutane (THBMA, from EBD), in urine of confirmed smokers, occupationally exposed workers and BD-exposed laboratory rats. Bis-BDMA was formed in a dose-dependent manner in urine of rats exposed to 0-200 p.p.m. BD by inhalation, although it was a minor metabolite (1%) as compared with DHBMA (47%) and THBMA (37%). In humans, DHBMA was the most abundant BD-mercapturic acid excreted (93%), followed by THBMA (5%) and MHBMA (2%), whereas no bis-BDMA was detected. These results reveal significant differences in metabolism of BD between rats and humans.

Abstract
Several studies with bacteria and in vitro mammalian systems have provided evidence of the roles of two thiol-based conjugation systems, glutathione (GSH) transferase and O(6)-alkylguanine DNA-alkyltransferase (AGT), in the bioactivation of the bis-electrophiles 1,2-dibromoethane and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), the latter an oxidation product of 1,3-butadiene. The in vivo relevance of these conjugation reactions to biological activity in mammals has not been addressed, particularly with DEB. In this work, we used transgenic Big Blue mice, utilizing the cII gene, to examine the effects of manipulation of conjugation pathways on liver mutations arising from dibromoethane and DEB in vivo. Treatment of the mice with butathionine sulfoxime (BSO) prior to dibromoethane lowered hepatic GSH levels, dibromoethane-GSH DNA adduct levels (N(7)-guanyl), and the cII mutation frequency. Administration of O(6)-benzylguanine (O(6)-BzGua), an inhibitor of AGT, did not change the mutation frequency. Depletion of GSH (BSO) and AGT (O(6)-BzGua) lowered the mutation frequency induced by DEB, and BSO lowered the levels of GSH-DEB N(7)-guanyl and N(6)-adenyl DNA adducts. Our results provide evidence that the GSH conjugation pathway is a major in vivo factor in dibromoethane genotoxicity; both GSH conjugation and AGT conjugation are major factors in the genotoxicity of DEB. The latter findings are considered to be relevant to the carcinogenicity of 1,3-butadiene.

Abstract
Butadiene monoepoxide (BMO), epoxybutanediol (EBD) and diepoxybutane (DEB) are reactive metabolites of 1,3-butadiene (BD), an important industrial chemical classified as a probable human carcinogen. The covalent interactions of these metabolites with DNA lead to the formation of DNA adducts which may induce mutations or other types of DNA damage, resulting in tumour formation. In the present study, two pairs of diastereomeric N-1-BMO-adenine adducts were identified in the reaction of BMO with 2´-deoxyadenosine-5´-monophosphate (5´-dAMP). The major products formed by reacting EBD with 2´-deoxyguanosine-5´-monophosphate (5´-dGMP) were characterized as diastereomeric N-7-(2´,3´,4´-trihydroxybut-1´-yl)-5´-dGMP by UV and electrospray mass spectrometry. The formation of N-7-BMO-guanine adducts (1´-carbon, 60; 2´carbon, 54/10(4) nucleotides) in BMO-treated DNA was about four times higher than that of N-1-BMO-adenine adducts (1´-carbon, 20; 2´-carbon, 8.7/10(4) nucleotides). However, the recovery of N-1-BMO-adenine adducts in DNA (45 ± 5%) was two times higher than that of N-7-guanine adducts (20 ± 4%) by 32P-postlabelling analysis. Using the 32P-postlabelling/ HPLC assay, N-1-BMO-adenine, N-7-BMO-guanine and N-7-EBDguanine adducts were detected in BMO- or DEB-treated DNA and in liver DNA of rats exposed to BD by inhalation. The amount of N-7-EBD-guanine adducts (11/10(8) nucleotides) in rat liver was about three-fold higher than N-7-BMO-guanine adducts (4.0/10(8) nucleotides). The novel finding of N-1-BMO-adenine adducts formed in vivo may contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms of BD carcinogenic action.

Abstract
1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane (DEB), a metabolite of the carcinogen butadiene, has been shown to cause glutathione (GSH)-dependent base substitution mutations, especially A:T to G:C mutations in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 [Cho, S. H., et al. (2010) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 23, 1544] and Escherichia coli TRG8 cells [Cho, S. H., and Guengerich, F. P. (2012) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 25, 1522]. We previously identified S-[4-(N(6)-deoxyadenosinyl)-2,3-dihydroxybutyl]GSH [N(6)dA-(OH)2butyl-GSH] as a major adduct in the reaction of S-(2-hydroxy-3,4-epoxybutyl)glutathione (DEB-GSH conjugate) with nucleosides and calf thymus DNA and in vivo in livers of mice and rats treated with DEB [Cho, S. H., and Guengerich, F. P. (2012) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 25, 706]. For investigation of the miscoding potential of the major DEB-GSH conjugate-derived DNA adduct [N(6)dA-(OH)2butyl-GSH] and the effect of GSH conjugation on replication of DEB, extension studies were performed in duplex DNA substrates containing the site-specifically incorporated N(6)dA-(OH)2butyl-GSH adduct, N(6)-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)deoxyadenosine adduct (N(6)dA-butanetriol), or unmodified deoxyadenosine (dA) by human DNA polymerases (Pol) η, ι, and κ, bacteriophage polymerase T7, and Sulfolobus solfataricus polymerase Dpo4. Although dTTP incorporation was the most preferred addition opposite the N(6)dA-(OH)2butyl-GSH adduct, N(6)dA-butanetriol adduct, or unmodified dA for all polymerases, the dCTP misincorporation frequency opposite N(6)dA-(OH)2butyl-GSH was significantly higher than that opposite the N(6)dA-butanetriol adduct or unmodified dA with Pol κ or Pol T7. LC-MS/MS analysis of full-length primer extension products confirmed that Pol κ or Pol T7 incorporated the incorrect base C opposite the N(6)dA-(OH)2butyl-GSH lesion. These results indicate the relevance of GSH-containing adducts for the A:T to G:C mutations produced by DEB.

Abstract
S-(2-Hydroxy-3,4-epoxybutyl)glutathione (DEB-GSH conjugate) is formed from the reaction of 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB) with glutathione (GSH), and the conjugate is considerably more mutagenic than several other butadiene-derived epoxides-including DEB-in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 [Cho, S.-H., (2010) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 23, 1544-1546]. We previously identified six DNA adducts in the reaction of the DEB-GSH conjugate with nucleosides and calf thymus DNA and two DNA adducts in livers of mice and rats treated with DEB [Cho, S.-H. and Guengerich, F. P. (2012) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 25, 706-712]. To define the role of GSH conjugation in 1,3-butadiene (BD) metabolism and characterize the mechanism of GSH transferase (GST)-enhanced mutagenicity of DEB, mutation spectra of BD and its metabolites in the absence and presence of GST/GSH and mouse liver microsomes were compared in the rpoB gene of Escherichia coli TRG8. The presence of GST considerably enhanced mutations. The mutation spectra derived from the DEB-GSH conjugate, the DEB/GST/GSH system, and the BD/mouse liver microsomes/GST/GSH system matched each other and were different from those derived from the other systems devoid of GSH. The major adducts in E. coli TRG8 cells treated with the DEB/GST/GSH system, the BD/mouse liver microsomes/GST/GSH system, or the DEB-GSH conjugate were S-[4-(N(7)-guanyl)-2,3-dihydroxybutyl]GSH, S-[4-(N(3)-adenyl)-2,3-dihydroxybutyl]GSH, and S-[4-(N(6)-deoxyadenosinyl)-2,3-dihydroxybutyl]GSH, indicating the presence of the GSH-containing DNA adducts in the systems. These results, along with the strong enhancement of mutagenicity by GST in this system, indicate the relevance of these GSH-containing DNA adducts.

Abstract
1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane (DEB) is reported to be the most potent mutagenic metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, an important industrial chemical and environmental pollutant. DEB is capable of inducing the formation of monoalkylated DNA adducts and DNA-DNA and DNA-protein cross-links. We previously reported that DEB forms a conjugate with glutathione (GSH) and that the conjugate is considerably more mutagenic than several other butadiene-derived epoxides, including DEB, in the base pair tester strain Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 [Cho et al. (2010) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 23, 1544-1546]. In the present study, we determined steady-state kinetic parameters of the conjugation of the three DEB stereoisomers-R,R, S,S, and meso (all formed by butadiene oxidation)-with GSH by six GSH transferases. Only small differences (<3-fold) were found in the catalytic efficiency of conjugate formation (k(cat)/K(m)) with all three DEB stereoisomers and the six GSH transferases. The three stereochemical DEB-GSH conjugates had similar mutagenicity. Six DNA adducts (N(3)-adenyl, N(6)-adenyl, N(7)-guanyl, N(1)-guanyl, N(4)-cytidyl, and N(3)-thymidyl) were identified in the reactions of DEB-GSH conjugate with nucleosides and calf thymus DNA using LC-MS and UV and NMR spectroscopy. N(6)-Adenyl and N(7)-guanyl GSH adducts were identified and quantitated in vivo in the livers of mice and rats treated with DEB ip. These results indicate that such DNA adducts are formed from the DEB-GSH conjugate, are mutagenic regardless of sterochemistry, and are therefore expected to contribute to the carcinogenicity of DEB.

Abstract
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is an air pollutant and a known carcinogen. 1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane (DEB), one of the major in vivo metabolites of BD, is considered the ultimate culprit of BD mutagenicity/carcinogenicity. DEB is a bifunctional alkylating agent, being capable of inducing the formation of monoalkylated DNA adducts and DNA cross-links, including DNA-DNA and DNA-protein cross-links (DPC). In the present study, we investigated DEB-caused DNA cross-links and breaks in human hepatocyte L02 cells using comet assay. With alkaline comet assay, it was observed that DNA migration increased with the increase of DEB concentration at lower concentrations (10-200μM); however, at higher concentrations (200-1000μM), DNA migration decreased with the increase of DEB concentration. This result indicated the presence of cross-links at >200μM, which was confirmed by the co-treatment experiments using the second genotoxic agents, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and methyl methanesulfonate. At 200μM, which appeared as a threshold, the DNA migration-retarding effect of cross-links was just observable by the co-treatment experiments. At <200μM, the effect of cross-links was too weak to be detected. The DEB-induced cross-links were determined to be DNA-DNA ones rather than DPC through incubating the liberated DNA with proteinase K prior to unwinding and electrophoresis. However, at the highest DEB concentration tested (1000μM), a small proportion of DPC could be formed. In addition, the experiments using neutral and weakly alkaline comet assays showed that DEB did not cause double-strand breaks, but did induce single-strand breaks (SSB) and alkali-labile sites (ALS). Since SSB and ALS are repaired more rapidly than cross-links, the results suggested that DNA-DNA cross-links, rather than DPC, were probably responsible for mutagenicity/carcinogenicity of DEB.

Abstract
Isoprene, the 2-methyl analogue of 1,3-butadiene, is ubiquitous in the environment, with major contributions to total isoprene emissions stemming from natural processes despite the compound being a bulk industrial chemical. Additionally, isoprene is a combustion product and a major component in cigarette smoke. Isoprene has been classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans (group 2B) by IARC and as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program. Isoprene, like butadiene, requires metabolic activation to reactive epoxides to exhibit its carcinogenic properties. The mode of action has been postulated to be that of a genotoxic carcinogen, with the formation of promutagenic DNA adducts being essential for mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. In rodents, isoprene-induced tumors show unique point mutations (A→T transversions) in the K-ras protooncogene at codon 61. Therefore, we investigated adducts formed after the reaction of 2'-deoxyadenosine (dAdo ) with the two monoepoxides of isoprene, 2-ethenyl-2-methyloxirane (IP-1,2-O) and propen-2-yloxirane (IP-3,4-O), under physiological conditions. The formation of N1-2'-deoxyinosine (N1-dIno) due to the deamination of N1-dAdo adducts was of particular interest, since N1-dIno adducts are suspected to have high mutagenic potential based on in vitro experiments. Major stable adducts were identified by HPLC, UV-spectroscopy, and LC-MS/MS and characterized by (1)H NMR and (1)H,(13)C HSQC and HMBC NMR experiments. Adducts of IP-1,2-O that were fully identified are R,S-C1-N(6)-dAdo, R-C2-N(6)-dAdo, and S-C2-N(6)-dAdo; adducts of IP-3,4-O are S-C3-N(6)-dAdo, R-C3-N(6)-dAdo, R,S-C4-N(6)-dAdo, S-C4-N1-dIno, R-C4-N1-dIno, R-C3-N1-dIno, S-C3-N1-dIno, and C3-N7-Ade. Both monoepoxides formed adducts on the terminal and internal oxirane carbons. This is the first study to describe adducts of isoprene monoepoxides with dAdo. Characterization of adducts formed by isoprene monoepoxides with deoxynucleosides and subsequently with DNA represent the first step toward evaluating their potential for being converted into a mutation or as biomarkers of isoprene metabolism and exposure.

Abstract
1,3-Butadiene’s (BD’s) major electrophilic metabolites 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB), 1,2-dihydroxy-3,4-epoxybutane (EBD), and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB) are responsible for both its mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. EB, EBD, and DEB are DNA reactive, forming a variety of adducts. All three metabolites are genotoxic in vitro and in vivo, with relative mutagenic potencies of DEB >> EB > EBD. DEB also effectively produces gene deletions and chromosome aberrations. BD’s greater mutagenicity and carcinogenicity in mice over rats as well as its failure to induce chromosome-level mutations in vivo in rats appear to be due to greater production of DEB in mice. Concentrations of EB and DEB in vivo in humans are even lower than in rats. Although most studies of BD-exposed humans have failed to find increases in gene mutations, one group has reported positive findings. Reasons for these discordant results are examined. BD-related chromosome aberrations have never been demonstrated in humans except for the possible production of micronuclei in lymphocytes of workers exposed to extremely high levels of BD in the workplace. The relative potencies of the BD metabolites, their relative abundance in the different species, and the kinds of mutations they can induce are major considerations in BD’s overall genotoxicity profile.

Abstract
The mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of the important commodity chemical 1,3-butadiene are attributed to the epoxide products. We confirmed our previous work showing that expression of rat glutathione (GSH) transferase 5-5 enhances the mutagenicity of butadiene diepoxide in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535. A GSH-butadiene diepoxide conjugate was isolated and fully characterized by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance as S-(2-hydroxy-3,4-epoxybutyl)GSH. The conjugate had a t(½) of 2.6 h (pH 7.4, 37 °C) and was considerably more mutagenic than butadiene diepoxide or monoepoxide in S. typhimurium. We propose that the GSH conjugate may be a major species involved in butadiene genotoxicity, not a detoxication product.

Abstract
1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane (DEB) is considered the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, an important industrial chemical and environmental pollutant present in urban air. Although it preferentially modifies guanine within DNA, DEB induces a large number of A --> T transversions, suggesting that it forms strongly mispairing lesions at adenine nucleobases. We now report the discovery of three potentially mispairing exocyclic adenine lesions of DEB: N(6),N(6)-(2,3-dihydroxybutan-1,4-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (compound 2), 1,N(6)-(2-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (compound 3), and 1,N(6)-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-hydroxypropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (compound 4). The structures and stereochemistry of the novel DEB-dA adducts were determined by a combination of UV and NMR spectroscopy, tandem mass spectrometry, and independent synthesis. We found that synthetic N(6)-(2-hydroxy-3,4-epoxybut-1-yl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (compound 1) representing the product of N(6)-adenine alkylation by DEB spontaneously cyclizes to form 3 under aqueous conditions or 2 under anhydrous conditions in the presence of an organic base. Compound 3 can be interconverted with 4 by a reversible unimolecular pericyclic reaction favoring 4 as a more thermodynamically stable product. Both 3 and 4 are present in double stranded DNA treated with DEB in vitro and in liver DNA of laboratory mice exposed to 1,3-butadiene by inhalation. We propose that in DNA under physiological conditions, DEB alkylates the N-1 position of adenine in DNA to form N1-(2-hydroxy-3,4-epoxybut-1-yl)-adenine adducts, which undergo an S(N)2-type intramolecular nucleophilic substitution and rearrangement to give 3 (minor) and 4 (major). Formation of exocyclic DEB-adenine lesions following exposure to 1,3-butadiene provides a possible mechanism of mutagenesis at the A:T base pairs.

Abstract
DNA alkylation or adduct formation occurs at nucleophilic sites in DNA, mainly the N7-position of guanine. Ever since identification of the first N7-guanine adduct, several hundred studies on DNA adducts have been reported. Major issues addressed include the relationships between N7-guanine adducts and exposure, mutagenesis, and other biological endpoints. It became quickly apparent that N7-guanine adducts are frequently formed, but may have minimal biological relevance, since they are chemically unstable and do not participate in Watson Crick base pairing. However, N7-guanine adducts have been shown to be excellent biomarkers for internal exposure to direct acting and metabolically activated carcinogens. Questions arise, however, regarding the biological significance of N7-guanine adducts that are readily formed, do not persist, and are not likely to be mutagenic. Thus, we set out to review the current literature to evaluate their formation and the mechanistic evidence for the involvement of N7-guanine adducts in mutagenesis or other biological processes. It was concluded that there is insufficient evidence that N7-guanine adducts can be used beyond confirmation of exposure to the target tissue and demonstration of the molecular dose. There is little to no evidence that N7-guanine adducts or their depurination product, apurinic sites, are the cause of mutations in cells and tissues, since increases in AP sites have not been shown unless toxicity is extant. However, more research is needed to define the extent of chemical depurination versus removal by DNA repair proteins. Interestingly, N7-guanine adducts are clearly present as endogenous background adducts and the endogenous background amounts appear to increase with age. Furthermore, the N7-guanine adducts have been shown to convert to ring opened lesions (FAPy), which are much more persistent and have higher mutagenic potency. Studies in humans are limited in sample size and differences between controls and study groups are small. Future investigations should involve human studies with larger numbers of individuals and analysis should include the corresponding ring opened FAPy derivatives.

Abstract
Human O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) expression increases mutations and cytotoxicity following exposure to 1,3-butadiene diepoxide (BDO), and hAGT-DNA cross-links are formed in the presence of BDO. We have used hAGT mutants to investigate the mechanism of cross-link formation and genotoxicity. Formation of a hAGT-DNA conjugate in vitro was observed with C145S and C145A mutant proteins but was considerably diminished with the C145A/C150S double mutant confirming that cross-linking primarily involves either of these two cysteine residues, which are located in the active site pocket of the protein. Cross-link formation by BDO occurred both via (a) an initial reaction of BDO with hAGT followed by attack of the reactive hAGT complex on DNA, and (b) the initial reaction of BDO with DNA followed by a reaction between hAGT and the DNA adduct. These results differ from those with 1,2-dibromoethane (DBE) where Cys(145) is the only site of attachment and pathway (b) does not occur. The complex formed between hAGT at Cys(145) and BDO was very unstable in aqueous solution. However, the BDO-hAGT complex at Cys(150) exhibited stability for more than 1 h. The effect of hAGT and mutants on BDO-induced genotoxicity was studied in E. coli using the forward assay to rifampicin resistance. Both mutations and cell killing were greatly increased by wild type hAGT, and there was a smaller but significant effect with the C145A mutant. The R128A mutant and R128A/C145A and C145A/C150S double mutants were ineffective, supporting the hypothesis that the formation of hAGT-DNA cross-links is responsible for the enhanced genotoxicity detected in this biological system. In the absence of hAGT, there were equal proportions of G:C to A:T transitions, G:C to T:A transversions, and A:T to T:A transversions. Wild type hAGT expression yielded significantly greater G:C to A:T and A:T to G:C transitions, whereas C145A mutant expression resulted in more transitions and transversions at A:T base-pairs.

Abstract
Epichlorohydrin (a probable human carcinogen) was allowed to react with adenosine and the adducts were characterized by NMR and UV spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The adduct initially formed was 1-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-adenosine, which subsequently ring closures to 1,N(6)-(2-hydroxypropyl)-adenosine at neutral and basic conditions. At acid conditions, the N-1 adduct undergoes a slow deamination to yield 1-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-inosine. Minor adducts identified were 7-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-adenosine and 3-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-adenosine which are easily deglycosylated, and an adduct where the epichlorohydrin residue was attached to the sugar moiety of adenosine. A diadduct, 1,N(6)-(2-hydroxypropyl)-N(6)-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-adenosine was also identified. The reaction of epichlorohydrin with calf thymus DNA gave 1,N(6)-(2-hydroxypropyl)-deoxyadenosine and 3-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)-adenine (major adduct).

Abstract
The mutagenic potentials of DNAs containing site- and stereospecific intrastrand DNA crosslinks were evaluated in Escherichia coli cells that contained a full complement of DNA polymerases or were deficient in either polymerases II, IV, or V. Crosslinks were made between adjacent N(6)-N(6) adenines and consisted of R,R- and S,S-butadiene crosslinks and unfunctionalized 2-, 3-, and 4-carbon tethers. Although replication of single-stranded DNAs containing the unfunctionalized 3- and 4-carbon tethers were non-mutagenic in all strains tested, replication past all the other intrastrand crosslinks was mutagenic in all E. coli strains, except the one deficient in polymerase II in which no mutations were ever detected. However, when mutagenesis was analyzed in cells induced for SOS, mutations were not detected, suggesting a possible change in the overall fidelity of polymerase II under SOS conditions. These data suggest that DNA polymerase II is responsible for the in vivo mutagenic bypass of these lesions in wild-type E. coli.

Abstract
The solution structure of the 1,4-bis(2'-deoxyadenosin-N(6)-yl)-2R,3R-butanediol cross-link arising from N(6)-dA alkylation of nearest-neighbor adenines by butadiene diepoxide (BDO(2)) was determined in the oligodeoxynucleotide 5'-d(CGGACXYGAAG)-3'.5'-d(CTTCTTGTCCG)-3'. This oligodeoxynucleotide contained codon 61 (underlined) of the human N-ras protooncogene. The cross-link was accommodated in the major groove of duplex DNA. At the 5'-side of the cross-link there was a break in Watson-Crick base pairing at base pair X(6).T(17), whereas at the 3'-side of the cross-link at base pair Y(7).T(16), base pairing was intact. Molecular dynamics calculations carried out using a simulated annealing protocol, and restrained by a combination of 338 interproton distance restraints obtained from (1)H NOESY data and 151 torsion angle restraints obtained from (1)H and (31)P COSY data, yielded ensembles of structures with good convergence. Helicoidal analysis indicated an increase in base pair opening at base pair X(6).T(17), accompanied by a shift in the phosphodiester backbone torsion angle beta P5'-O5'-C5'-C4' at nucleotide X(6). The rMD calculations predicted that the DNA helix was not significantly bent by the presence of the four-carbon cross-link. This was corroborated by gel mobility assays of multimers containing nonhydroxylated four-carbon N(6),N(6)-dA cross-links, which did not predict DNA bending. The rMD calculations suggested the presence of hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group located on the beta-carbon of the four-carbon cross-link and T(17) O(4), which perhaps stabilized the base pair opening at X(6).T(17) and protected the T(17) imino proton from solvent exchange. The opening of base pair X(6).T(17) altered base stacking patterns at the cross-link site and induced slight unwinding of the DNA duplex. The structural data are interpreted in terms of biochemical data suggesting that this cross-link is bypassed by a variety of DNA polymerases, yet is significantly mutagenic [Kanuri, M., Nechev, L. V., Tamura, P. J., Harris, C. M., Harris, T. M., and Lloyd, R. S. (2002) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 15, 1572-1580].

Abstract
Responses from "reagentless" DNA-based electrochemical toxicity sensors to DNA alkylating agents styrene oxide (SO), diepoxybutane (DEB), and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) were compared to formation rates of total alkylated nucleobases in DNA measured by LC-UV-MS. Sensors utilized a catalytic metallopolymer in DNA films previously exposed to the damage agents. To achieve adequate sensitivity, LC-UV-MS analyses were done on DNA in solution reacted with the damage agents, and subsequently hydrolyzed to nucleosides with enzymes. Sensor response correlated well with nucleobase-adduct formation rates obtained by the molecule-specific analyses. Results confirm that the metallopolymer-DNA film sensors can be used to estimate relative DNA damage rates from nucleobase adduct-forming chemicals. Results from both methods correlated well with animal genotoxicity as estimated by TDL(o) values, the lowest dose producing carcinogenicity, in mice and rats. These sensors should be useful for rapid, inexpensive screening of moderately and severely genotoxic new chemicals.

Abstract
Six oligonucleotides with carcinogen derivatives bound at the N2 atom of deoxyguanosine were prepared, including adducts derived from butadiene, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, and styrene, and examined for effects on the replicative enzymes bacteriophage DNA polymerase T7- (T7-) and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase for comparison with previous work on smaller DNA adducts. All of these adducts strongly blocked dCTP incorporation opposite the adducts. dATP was preferentially incorporated opposite the acrolein and crotonaldehyde adducts, and dTTP incorporation was preferred at the butadiene- and styrene-derived adducts. Steady-state kinetic analysis indicated that the reduced catalytic efficiency with adducted DNA involved both an increased Km and attenuated kcat. Fluorescence estimates of Kd and pre-steady-state kinetic measurements of koff showed no significantly decreased affinity of T7- with the adducted oligonucleotides or the dNTP. Pre-steady-state kinetics showed no burst phase kinetics for dNTP incorporation with any of the modified oligonucleotides. These results indicate that phosphodiester bond formation or a conformational change of the enzyme.DNA complex is rate-limiting instead of the step involving release of the oligonucleotide. Thio elemental effects for dNTP incorporation were generally relatively small but variable, indicating that the presence of adducts may sometimes make phosphodiester bond formation rate-limiting but not always.

Abstract
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a major industrial chemical and a rodent carcinogen, with mice being much more susceptible than rats. Oxidative metabolism of BD, leading to the DNA-reactive epoxides 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (BMO), 1,2-epoxy-3,4-butanediol (EBD) and 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), is greater in mice than rats. In the present study the DNA adduct profiles in liver and lungs of rats and mice were determined following exposure to BMO and to BD since these profiles may provide qualitative and quantitative information on the DNA-reactive metabolites in target tissues. Adducts detected in vivo were identified by comparison with the products formed from the reaction of the individual epoxides with 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG). In rats and mice exposed to [4-14C]-BMO (1-50 mg/kg, i.p.), DNA adduct profiles were similar in liver and lung with N7-(2-hydroxy-3-butenyl)guanine (G1) and N7-(1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-propenyl)guanine (G2) as major adducts and N7-2,3,4-trihydroxybutylguanine (G4) as minor adduct. In rats and mice exposed to 200 ppm [2,3-14C]-BD by nose-only inhalation for 6 h, G4 was the major adduct in liver, lung and testes while G1 and G2 were only minor adducts. Another N7-trihydroxybutylguanine adduct (G3), which could not unambiguously be identified but is either another isomer of N7-2,3,4-trihydroxybutylguanine or, more likely, N7-(1-hydroxymethyl-2,3-dihydroxypropyl)guanine, was present at low concentrations in liver and lung DNA of mice, but absent in rats. The evidence indicates that the major DNA adduct formed in liver, lung and testes following in vivo exposure to BD is G4, which is formed from EBD, and not from DEB.

Abstract
Male Sprague-Dawley rats and B6C3F1 mice were exposed to either a single 6h or a multiple (5) daily (6h) nose-only dose of 1,3-[2,3-(14)C]-butadiene at exposure concentrations of nominally 1, 5 or 20 ppm. The aim was to compare the results with those from a similar previous study at 200 ppm. DNA isolated from liver, lung and testis of exposed rats and mice was analysed for the presence of butadiene related adducts, especially the N7-guanine adducts. Total radioactivity present in the DNA from liver, lung and testis was quantified and indicated more covalent binding of radioactivity for mouse tissue DNA than rat tissue DNA. Following release of the depurinating DNA adducts by neutral thermal hydrolysis, the liberated depurinated DNA adducts were measured by reverse phase HPLC coupled with liquid scintillation counting. The guanine adduct G4, assigned as N7-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)- guanine, was the major adduct measured in liver, lung and testis DNA in both rats and mice. Higher levels of G4 were detected in all mouse tissues compared with rat tissue. The dose-response relationship for the formation of adduct G4 was approximately linear for all tissues studied for both rats and mice exposed in the 1-20 ppm range. The formation of G4 in liver tissue was about three times more effective for mouse than rat in this exposure range. Average levels of adduct G4 measured in liver DNA of rats and mice exposed to 5 x 6 h 1, 5 and 20 ppm 1,3-[2,3-(14)C]-butadiene were, respectively, for rats: 0.79 +/- 0.30, 2.90 +/- 1.19, 16.35 +/- 4.8 adducts/10(8) nucleotides and for mice: 2.23 +/- 0.71, 12.24 +/- 2.15, 48.63 +/- 12.61 adducts/10(8) nucleotides. For lung DNA the corresponding values were for rats: 1.02 +/- 0.44, 3.12 +/- 1.06, 17.02 +/- 4.07 adducts/10(8) nucleotides, and for mice: 3.28 +/- 0.32, 14.04 +/- 1.55, 42.47 +/- 13.12 adducts/10(8) nucleotides. Limited comparative data showed that the levels of adduct G4 formed in liver and lung DNA of mice exposed to a single exposure to butadiene in the present 20 ppm study and earlier 200 ppm study were approximately directly proportional across dose, but this was not observed in the case of rats. From the available evidence it is most likely that adduct G4 was formed from a specific isomer of the diol-epoxide metabolite, 3,4-epoxy-1,2-butanediol rather than the diepoxide, 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane. Another adduct G3, possibly a diastereomer of N7-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)-guanine or most likely the regioisomer N7-(1-hydroxymethyl-2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-guanine, was also detected in DNA of mouse tissues but was essentially absent in DNA from rat tissue. Qualitatively similar profiles of adducts were observed following exposures to butadiene in the present 20 ppm study and the previous 200 ppm study. Overall the DNA adduct levels measured in tissues of both rats and mice were very low. The differences in the profiles and quantity of adducts seen between mice and rats were considered insufficient to explain the large difference in carcinogenic potency of butadiene to mice compared with rats.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to review what we know about various biomarkers of butadiene in animal, human and in vitro studies, and to draw inferences from these data that impact on the accurate assessment of human risks for cancer. Studies comparing the DNA and hemoglobin adducts of butadiene with exposure, metabolism and genotoxicity have provided a great deal of insight that is applicable to biologically based risk assessment. First, the DNA and hemoglobin adduct data strongly support the conclusion that 3,4-epoxy-1,2-butanediol is the major electrophile available for binding to these macromolecules. Biomarker studies have also provided insight into the possibility of a sensitive population associated with the GSTT1 null genotype. While it is clear that lymphocytes from GSTT1 null individuals are more sensitive for the induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) following in vitro exposure to 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane, there was no such increase in SCE or other biomarkers of genotoxicity in workers exposed to 1-3 p.p.m. butadiene, regardless of GST genotype. The globin adduct data also demonstrate that there is roughly a tenfold range for interindividual differences in the metabolism of butadiene. This type of analysis represents an excellent means for providing scientific data for this critical determinant. Another useful application of hemoglobin adducts in risk assessment was demonstrated by regressing data for various endpoints for genotoxicity against that individual's biologically effective dose, thereby providing an independent mechanism for evaluation that excludes any possible confounding by inappropriate controls. Finally, biomarker studies have identified critical gaps in our knowledge that are needed for the accurate assessment of butadiene. Most notable of these is the lack of diepoxide-specific biomarkers in mice, rats and humans.

Abstract
First-pass metabolism of 1,3-butadiene (BD) leading to 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB), 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB), 3-butene-1,2-diol (B-diol), 3,4-epoxy-1,2-butanediol (EBD) and crotonaldehyde (CA) was studied quantitatively in the once-through BD perfused liver of mouse and rat by means of an all-glass gas-tight perfusion system. Metabolites were analyzed using gas chromatography equipped with mass selective detection. The perfusate consisted of Krebs-Henseleit buffer (pH 7.4) containing bovine erythrocytes (40%v/v) and BD. The perfusion flow rates through the livers were 3-4 ml/min (mouse) and 17-20 ml/min (rat). The BD concentrations in the liver perfusates were 330 nmol/ml (mouse) and 240 nmol/ml (rat) being high enough to reach almost saturation of BD metabolism. The mean rates of BD transformation were about 0.014 and 0.055 mmol/h per liver of a mouse and a rat, respectively, being similar to the values expected from in-vivo measurements. There were marked species differences in the formation of BD metabolites. In the effluent of mouse livers, all three epoxides (EB: 9.4 nmol/ml; DEB: 0.06 nmol/ml; EBD: 0.07 nmol/ml) and B-diol (8.2 nmol/ml) were detected. In the perfusate leaving naïve rat livers, only EB and B-diol were found. In that of rat liver, EB concentration was 8.5 times smaller than in that of mouse liver, whereas B-diol concentrations were similar in the effluent liver perfusate of both species. CA was below the limit of its detection (60 nmol/l) in the liver perfusate of mice and of naïve rats. Of BD metabolized, the sum of the metabolites investigated in the effluent amounted to only 30% (mouse) and 20% (rat). In first experiments with rat liver, glutathione (GSH) was depleted by pretreating the animals with diethylmaleate. With the exception of EBD (not quantifiable due to an interfering peak), all other metabolites including CA were found in the effluent perfusate summing up to about 70 and 100% of BD metabolized, which indicates the quantitative importance of the GSH dependent metabolism. In summary, the results demonstrate the relevance of an intrahepatic first-pass metabolism for metabolic intermediates of BD, which undergo further transformation immediately after their production in the liver before leaving this organ. Hitherto, the occurrence of this first-pass metabolism was only hypothesized. The findings will help to explain the drastic species difference between mice and rats in the carcinogenic potency of BD.

Abstract
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a commodity compound and by-product in the manufacture of synthetic rubber that elicits a differential carcinogenic response in rodents after chronic exposure. Mice are up to approximately 1000-fold more sensitive to the tumorigenicity of inhaled BD than rats, thereby confounding human risk assessment analyses. Rodent transgenic in vivo and in vitro models have been recently utilized for generating genetic toxicology data in support of risk assessment studies. However, studies have not been extended to investigate multiple endpoints of genetic damage using in vitro transgenic models. The goal of this study was to evaluate possible differences in the production of genetic damage in transgenic Big Blue((R)) mouse (BBM1) and rat (BBR1) fibroblasts exposed to three predominant epoxide metabolites of BD. Analyses of cytotoxicity, micronucleus (MN) formation, cII mutant frequency (MF) and apoptosis were assessed after in vitro exposure of BBM1 and BBR1 cells exposed to various concentrations of butadiene monoepoxide (BMO), diepoxybutane (DEB) and butadiene diolepoxide (BDE). Both BMO and DEB reduced cell survival in BBM1 and BBR1 cells. However, BDE decreased cell survival only in BBM1 cells at the concentrations evaluated. Concentration-dependent increases in the formation of MN was observed in both BBM1 and BBR1 cells, with DEB being the most potent followed by BDE and then BMO. The dose-response for mutations induced at the cII locus was essentially equal after DEB exposure of BBM1 and BBR1 fibroblasts. In contrast, the cII MF was significantly increased only in BBM1 cells after exposure to either BMO or BDE. These data demonstrate a differential genetic response for gene mutations but not for MN formation in transgenic BBM1 and BBR1 fibroblasts and suggest a rodent species-specific difference in the persistence of DNA damage that results in gene mutations. In addition, apoptosis was observed in BBR1 cells but not in BBM1 cells when treated with any of the three BD epoxide metabolites. This response may partially explain the differential response to mutations induced by BMO and BDE. These data offer insight into specific differences in mouse and rat cells with respect to their response to BD epoxide metabolites. Such data may help to explain the different tumorigenicity results observed in rodent BD carcinogenicity studies.

Abstract
Alkyl epoxides are important intermediates in the chemical industry. They are also formed in vivo during the detoxification of alkenes. Alkyl epoxides have shown genotoxicity in many toxicology assays which has been associated with their covalent binding to DNA. Here aspects of the formation and properties of DNA adducts, induced by some industrially important alkenes and mono-substituted epoxides are discussed. These include propylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, allyl glycidyl ether and the epoxy metabolites of styrene and butadiene. The major DNA adducts formed by epoxides are 7-substituted guanines, 1- and 3-substituted adenines and 3-substituted cytosines. In addition, styrene oxide and butadiene monoepoxide are able to modify exocyclic sites in the DNA bases, the sites being in the case of styrene oxide N(2)- and O(6)-positions of guanine, N(6)-adenine as well as N(4)-and O(2)-cytosine. In vivo the main adduct is the 7-substituted guanines. The 1-substituted adenines have also shown marked levels, and these adducts should also be targets in biomonitoring of human exposures. Due to its low mutagenicity, 7-substituted guanines are considered as a surrogate marker for other mutagenic lesions, e.g. those of 1-adenine or 3-uracil adducts.

Abstract
Tissue inflammation and chronic infection lead to the overproduction of nitric oxide and superoxide. These two species rapidly combine to yield peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), a powerful oxidizing and nitrating agent that is thought be involved in both cell death and an increased cancer risk observed for inflamed tissues. ONOO(-) has been shown to induce single-strand breaks and base damage in DNA and is mutagenic in the supF gene, inducing primarily G to T transversions clustered at the 5' end of the gene. The mutagenicity of ONOO(-) is believed to result from chemical modifications at guanine nucleobases leading to miscoding DNA lesions. In the present work, we applied a combination of molecular and analytical techniques in an attempt to identify biologically important DNA modifications induced by ONOO(-). pUC19 plasmid treated with ONOO(-) contained single-strand breaks resulting from direct sugar damage at the DNA backbone, as well as abasic sites and nucleobase modifications repaired by Fpg glycosylase. The presence of carbon dioxide in the reaction mixture shifted the ONOO(-) reactivity towards reactions at nucleobases, while suppressing the oxidation of deoxyribose. To further study the chemistry of the ONOO(-) interactions with DNA, synthetic oligonucleotides representing the mutation-prone region of the supF gene were treated with ONOO(-), and the products were analyzed by liquid chromatography-negative ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI(-) MS) and tandem mass spectrometry. 8-Nitroguanine (8-nitro-G) was formed in ONOO(-)-treated oligonucleotides in a dose-dependent manner with a maximum at a ratio of [ONOO(-)]: [DNA]=10 and a decline at higher ONOO(-) concentrations, suggesting further reactions of 8-nitro-G with ONOO(-). 8-Nitro-G was spontaneously released from oligonucleotides (t(1/2)=1 h at 37 degrees C) and, when present in DNA, was not recognized by Fpg glycosylase. To obtain more detailed information on ONOO(-)-induced DNA damage, a restriction fragment from the pSP189 plasmid containing the supF gene (135 base pairs) was [32P]-end-labeled and treated with ONOO(-). PAGE analysis of the products revealed sequence-specific lesions at guanine nucleobases, including the sites of mutational "hotspots." These lesions were repaired by Fpg glycosylase and cleaved by hot piperidine treatment, but they were resistant to depurination at 90 degrees C. Since 8-nitro-G is subject to spontaneous depurination, and 8-oxo-guanine is not efficiently cleaved by piperidine, these results suggest that alternative DNA lesion(s) contribute to ONOO(-) mutagenicity. Further investigation of the identities of DNA modifications responsible for the adverse biological effects of ONOO(-) is underway in our laboratory.

Abstract
Dose-response relationships of genotoxic agents differ greatly depending on the agent and the endpoint being evaluated. Simple conclusions that genotoxic effects are linear cannot be applied universally. The shape of the molecular dose of DNA adducts varies from linear, to supralinear, to sublinear depending on metabolic activation and detoxication, and repair of individual types of DNA adducts. For mutagenesis and other genotoxicity endpoints, the dose-response reflects the molecular dose of each type of DNA adduct, cell proliferation, as well as endogenous factors that lead to mutagenesis such as the formation and repair of endogenous DNA adducts. These same factors are important when interpreting the shape of dose-response data for carcinogenesis of genotoxic agents, however, tumor background variability adds additional complexity. Endogenously formed DNA adducts may be identical to those formed by chemicals, as in the case of vinyl chloride and ethylene oxide, or they may be those associated with oxidative stress. Data presented in this paper demonstrate that the exogenous number of adducts induced by 5 days of exposure to 10 ppm vinyl chloride is only 2. 2-fold greater than that present as a steady-state amount in unexposed control rats. Similar data are shown for ethylene oxide. Extremely sensitive methods have been developed for measuring the molecular dose of genotoxins. These methods can detect DNA adducts as low as 1 per 10(9) to 10(10). However, in view of the high number of endogenous DNA adducts that are present in all cells, it is unlikely that causal relationships can be attributed to very low numbers of such DNA adducts. Effects of both exogenous and endogenous DNA adducts need to be factored into the interpretation of chemical exposures.

Abstract
Styrene 7,8-oxide (SO), a major metabolite of styrene, is classified as a probable human carcinogen. In the present work, salmon testis DNA was reacted with SO and the alkylation products were analysed after sequential depurination in neutral or acidic conditions followed by HPLC separation and UV-detection. A novel finding was that the N-3 position of adenine was the next most reactive alkylation site in double-stranded DNA, comprising 4% of the total alkylation, as compared to alkylation at the N-7 position of guanine, 93% of the total alkylation. Both alpha- and beta-products of SO were formed at these two sites. Other modified sites were N2-guanine (1.5%, alpha-isomer), 1-adenine (0.4%, both isomers) and N6-adenine (0.7%, both isomers) as well as 1-hypoxanthine (0.1%, alpha-isomer), formed by deamination of the corresponding 1-adenine adduct. The results indicated that in double-stranded DNA N-7 of guanine and N-3 of adenine account for 97% of alkylation by SO. However, these abundant adducts are not stable, the half-life of depurination in DNA for 3-substituted adenines being approximately 10 and approximately 20 h, for alpha- and beta-isomers, respectively, and 51 h for both isomers of 7-substituted guanines.

Abstract
For many years (32)P postlabeling has detected DNA adducts at very low levels and yet has not been able to identify unknown adducts. Mass spectrometry offers substantially improved identification powers, albeit at some loss in detection limits. With this ultimate utilization of mass spectrometry in mind, the current research presents a new method to quantitatively purify bulky hydrophobic DNA adducts at levels that are pertinent to ongoing DNA adduct research in human health and environmental fields. This method was demonstrated with benzo[a]pyrene adducts. Purification was accomplished with the use of small columns (7.5-mm frits) with an 11 mg bed of polystyrene-divinlybenzene beads which retained the adducts while permitting the nonadducted nucleotides to be washed out with water. Subsequently, the adducts were eluted with 50% MeOH and the sample was reduced in volume in an evacuated centrifuge. Purification was demonstrated at adduct levels ranging from 4 adducts in 10(6) nonadducted nucleotides to 4 in 10(8). For these levels, analyses by capillary electrophoresis with sample stacking and UV detection determined that recoveries ranged from 91 to 54%, respectively. The adduct quantities isolated should be sufficient to allow the use of current MS capabilities that are linked on-line to separation methodologies such as capillary electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, and high-pressure liquid chromatography.

Abstract
Epoxybutanediol is one of the epoxide metabolites of butadiene (BD). A pair of diastereomeric N-1-adenine adducts were formed by reacting epoxybutanediol with deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphate (5'-dAMP). These two N-1-adenine adducts rearranged in a base-catalysed reaction to an N6-trihydroxybutyl-adenine adduct, which was characterized by UV and mass spectroscopy. Using the 32P-postlabelling/HPLC assay the same adducts were detected in diepoxybutane (DEB)-treated DNA in vitro and in liver DNA samples from rats exposed to BD by inhalation. Adenine adducts of epoxybutanediol are probably suitable for monitoring BD exposure.
