Determination of purines in prepackaged food using optimum acid hydrolysis followed by high performance liquid chromatography. Food Chem 2023; 417:135813. [PMID: 36913870 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023]
Abstract
A high performance liquid chromatography was established to determine purine content of prepackaged food. Chromatographic separation was performed on Agilent5 TC-C18 column. Ammonium formate (10 mmol/L, pH = 3.385) and methanol (99:1) were used as mobile phase. Purine concentration and peak area showed good linear relationships in the range from 1 to 40 mg/L (guanine, hypoxanthine, adenine) and xanthine exhibited a good linear relationship ranged from 0.1 to 4.0 mg/L. Recoveries of four purines ranged from 93.03% to 107.42%. Purine content in prepackaged food was following: animal derived prepackaged food: 16.13-90.18 mg/100 g; beans and bean products: 66.36-157.11 mg/100 g; fruits and fruit products: 5.64-21.79 mg/100 g; instant rice and flour products: 5.68-30.83 mg/100 g; fungi, algae, fungi and algae products: 32.57-70.59 mg/100 g. This proposed method had good precision and accuracy with a wide linear range for detection of purine. Animal derived prepackaged food was purine-rich food, purine content of plant derived prepackaged food varied greatly.

Abstract
4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is an amazing reactive compound, originating from lipid peroxidation within cells but also in food and considered as a "second messenger" of oxidative stress. Due to its chemical features, HNE is able to make covalent links with DNA, proteins and lipids. The aim of this review is to give a comprehensive summary of the chemical properties of HNE and of the consequences of its reactivity in relation to cancer development. The formation of exocyclic etheno-and propano-adducts and genotoxic effects are addressed. The adduction to cellular proteins and the repercussions on the regulation of cell signaling pathways involved in cancer development are reviewed, notably on the Nrf2/Keap1/ARE pathway. The metabolic pathways leading to the inactivation/elimination or, on the contrary, to the bioactivation of HNE are considered. A special focus is given on the link between HNE and colorectal cancer development, due to its occurrence in foodstuffs and in the digestive lumen, during digestion.

REVIEWS IN MUTATION RESEARCH 2016; 768:27-45.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that epigenetic alterations play an important role in chemically-induced carcinogenesis. Although the epigenome and genome may be equally important in carcinogenicity, the genotoxicity of chemical agents and exposure-related transcriptomic responses have been more thoroughly studied and characterized. To better understand the evidence for epigenetic alterations of human carcinogens, and the potential association with genotoxic endpoints, we conducted a systematic review of published studies of genotoxic carcinogens that reported epigenetic endpoints. Specifically, we searched for publications reporting epigenetic effects for the 28 agents and occupations included in Monograph Volume 100F of the International Agency for the Research on Cancer (IARC) that were classified as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1) with strong evidence of genotoxic mechanisms of carcinogenesis. We identified a total of 158 studies that evaluated epigenetic alterations for 12 of these 28 carcinogenic agents and occupations (1,3-butadiene, 4-aminobiphenyl, aflatoxins, benzene, benzidine, benzo[a]pyrene, coke production, formaldehyde, occupational exposure as a painter, sulfur mustard, and vinyl chloride). Aberrant DNA methylation was most commonly studied, followed by altered expression of non-coding RNAs and histone changes (totaling 85, 59 and 25 studies, respectively). For 3 carcinogens (aflatoxins, benzene and benzo[a]pyrene), 10 or more studies reported epigenetic effects. However, epigenetic studies were sparse for the remaining 9 carcinogens; for 4 agents, only 1 or 2 published reports were identified. While further research is needed to better identify carcinogenesis-associated epigenetic perturbations for many potential carcinogens, published reports on specific epigenetic endpoints can be systematically identified and increasingly incorporated in cancer hazard assessments.

Abstract
Exogenous and endogenous sources of chemical species can react, directly or after metabolic activation, with DNA to yield DNA adducts. If not repaired, DNA adducts may compromise cellular functions by blocking DNA replication and/or inducing mutations. Unambiguous identification of the structures and accurate measurements of the levels of DNA adducts in cellular and tissue DNA constitute the first and important step towards understanding the biological consequences of these adducts. The advances in mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation in the past 2-3 decades have rendered MS an important tool for structure elucidation, quantification, and revelation of the biological consequences of DNA adducts. In this review, we summarized the development of MS techniques on these fronts for DNA adduct analysis. We placed our emphasis of discussion on sample preparation, the combination of MS with gas chromatography- or liquid chromatography (LC)-based separation techniques for the quantitative measurement of DNA adducts, and the use of LC-MS along with molecular biology tools for understanding the human health consequences of DNA adducts. The applications of mass spectrometry-based DNA adduct analysis for predicting the therapeutic outcome of anti-cancer agents, for monitoring the human exposure to endogenous and environmental genotoxic agents, and for DNA repair studies were also discussed.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) has been associated with human physiology and pathophysiology. LPO generates an array of oxidation products and among them reactive lipid aldehydes have received intensive research attentions due to their roles in modulating functions of biomolecules through covalent modification. Thus, covalent modification of DNA by these reactive lipid electrophiles has been postulated to be partially responsible for the biological roles of LPO. In this review, we summarized recent progress and challenges in studying the roles of covalent modification of DNA including nuclear and mitochondrial DNA by reactive lipid metabolites from LPO. We focused on the novel mechanistic insights into generation of lipid aldehydes from cellular membranes especially mitochondria through LPO. Recent advances in the technological front using mass spectrometry have also been highlighted in the settings of studying DNA damage caused by LPO and its biological relevance.

Abstract
2,3-Epoxy-4-hydroxynonanal (EHN) is a potential product of lipid peroxidation that gives rise to genotoxic etheno adducts. We have synthesized all four stereoisomers of EHN and individually reacted them with 2'-deoxyguanosine. In addition to 1,N(2)-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine, 12 stereoisomeric products were isolated and characterized by (1)H NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The stereochemical assignments were consistent with selective NOE spectra, vicinal coupling constants, and molecular mechanics calculations. Reversed-phase HPLC conditions were developed that could separate most of the adduct mixture.

Abstract
Exocyclic DNA adducts are emerging as potential new tools for the study of oxidative stress-related diseases as well as the determination of cancer etiology and cancer risk. It is important to determine whether levels of exocyclic DNA adducts reflect redox stress in vivo and what role these adducts play in human diseases. To answer these important questions, interindividual differences, tissue distribution, background levels, and repair have to be assessed. This review focuses on recent developments in the use of these adducts as possible biomarkers for disease risk related to oxidative stress and on the challenges in developing sensitive and specific methods for clinical studies.

Abstract
Search for the formation of oxidatively base damage in cellular DNA has been a matter of debate for more than 40 years due to the lack of accurate methods for the measurement of the lesions. HPLC associated with either tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) or electrochemical detector (ECD) together with optimized DNA extraction conditions constitutes a relevant analytical approach. This has allowed the accurate measurement of oxidatively generated single and clustered base damage in cellular DNA following exposure to acute oxidative stress conditions mediated by ionizing radiation, UVA light and one-electron oxidants. In this review the formation of 11 single base lesions that is accounted for by reactions of singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical or high intensity UVC laser pulses with nucleobases is discussed on the basis of the mechanisms available from model studies. In addition several clustered lesions were found to be generated in cellular DNA as the result of one initial radical hit on either a vicinal base or the 2-deoxyribose. Information on nucleobase modifications that are formed upon addition of reactive aldehydes arising from the breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides is also provided.

Abstract
Background levels of etheno adducts have been attributed to the reaction of DNA with 2,3-epoxyaldehydes, a proposed product of lipid peroxidation. We have examined the reaction of (2R,3S)-epoxyhexanal with dGuo to give 7-(1S-hydroxybutyl)-1,N(2)-etheno-dGuo. We observed that the stereochemistry of the side chain scrambled over time. This process provided insight into the mechanism for the formation of 1,N(2)-etheno-dGuo from 4,5-epoxy-2-decenal [Lee, S. H., et al.(2002) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 15, 300-304]. The mechanistic proposal predicts that 2-octenal is a by-product of the reaction. The reaction of 4,5-epoxy-2-decenal was reinvestigated, and the 2-octenal adduct of dGuo was identified as a product of this reaction in support of the mechanistic proposal. Also observed are products that appear to be derived from 2,3-epoxyoctanal, which can be formed through Schiff base formation of 4,5-epoxy-2-decenal with the dGuo followed by hydration of the double bond and retro-aldol reaction.

Abstract
Despite intensive research over the last two decades, there are still no specific markers of endogenous lipid hydroperoxide-mediated DNA damage. We recently demonstrated that heptanone-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine adducts are formed in the DNA of rat intestinal epithelial cells that stably express cyclooxygenase-2. Heptanone-etheno adducts can only arise from the reaction of lipid hydroperoxide-derived 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal with DNA. This raised the possibility that similar adducts would be formed in vivo in settings where cyclooxygenase-2 expression is increased. Therefore, DNA-adduct formation was studied in C57BL/6JAPC(min) mice, a colorectal cancer mouse model in which cyclooxygenase-2 is up-regulated. 15(S)-Hydroperoxy-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid is the major lipid hydroperoxide produced endogenously by cyclooxygenase-2. It undergoes homolytic decomposition to the DNA-reactive bifunctional electrophile 4-oxo-2(E)-nonenal, which forms heptanone-etheno adducts with DNA. A quantitative comparison was made of the heptanone-etheno-DNA adducts present in C57BL/6J and C57BL/6JAPC(min) mice. Using highly specific and sensitive methodology based on stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, we have detected the endogenous formation of heptanone-etheno adducts in mammalian tissue DNA for the first time. In addition, we found that there were statistically significant increased levels of the heptanone-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine and heptanone-etheno-2'-deoxycytidine adducts in the C57BL/6JAPC(min) mice when compared with the control C57BL/6J mice.

Abstract
Etheno DNA adducts are promutagenic DNA lesions derived from exogenous as well as endogenous sources. The levels of etheno adducts in tissue DNA are elevated in cancer prone tissues, and the urinary excretion of etheno adducts is associated with oxidative stress. In this report, a new assay based on isotope dilution liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) is developed for the quantification of 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (epsilonAde) in human urine samples without the need for derivatization. Sample purification before analysis by MS only requires a reversed phase solid phase extraction column. Two multiple reaction monitoring transitions with two product ion fragments generated from a common parent ion were used to quantify urinary epsilonAde. The detection limit of epsilonAde using LC-ESI-MS/MS is 2 pg injected standard epsilonAde on-column, and the assay allows accurate quantification of urinary epsilonAde at concentrations higher than 10 pg/mL. The presence of epsilonAde in human urine is confirmed by the collision-induced daughter ion spectrum. Using this assay, the levels of epsilonAde in the 24 h urine samples from 18 healthy individuals are determined, and the results are in very good agreement with those obtained using isotope dilution gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization-mass spectrometry. The high specificity and simple sample pretreatment of this LC-ESI-MS/MS method render it a valuable tool in measuring epsilonAde in the complex mixture of human urine as a promising noninvasive biomarker for DNA damage associated with oxidative stress and for cancer chemoprevention studies.

Abstract
Smokers are known to have elevated levels of lipid peroxidation, a form of oxidative stress. Etheno DNA adduct formation can originate from endogenous lipid peroxidation or from exogenous exposure of carcinogens. Using a modified stable isotope dilution GC/negative ion chemical ionization/MS assay originally developed for urinary 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (epsilonCyt), the nucleoside 3,N(4)-etheno-2'-deoxycytidine (epsilondCyd) was detected for the first time in human urine. The presence of epsilondCyd in human urine was confirmed by LC/electrospray ionization/tandem MS. Concentrations of epsilondCyd in the 24 h urine samples from healthy individuals not occupationally exposed to industrial chemicals were in the range between 0 and 0.80 nM. A statistically significant correlation was established between cigarette smoking and urinary excretion of epsilondCyd after being adjusted for creatinine (p = 0.004). Furthermore, the urinary total antioxidant capacity was found to correlate inversely with the epsilondCyd levels (r = -0.50, p = 0.02). The results indicate that urinary epsilondCyd may provide a valuable noninvasive biomarker for oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), one of the main aldehydic compounds released during lipid peroxidation, has been proposed to react with DNA bases in cells. Several classes of DNA lesions involving addition of either HNE or its 2,3-epoxide (epox-HNE) have been identified. In the present work, HPLC associated with tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the pattern of HNE-induced DNA lesions. First, adducts were quantified within isolated DNA treated with HNE under peroxidizing conditions. The 1,N2-propano-2'-deoxyguanosine adduct of HNE (HNE-dGuo) was found to be the major lesion under all conditions studied. 1,N6-Ethenoadenine and 1,N2-ethenoguanine together with their (1,2-dihydroxyheptyl)-substituted derivatives, which all arise from the reaction of epox-HNE with DNA, were produced in significantly lower yields, even in the presence of 20 mM H2O2. The pyrimidopurinone malondialdehyde-2'-deoxyguanosine adduct was also found to be produced, although in very low yield. Similar results were obtained in cultured human monocytes incubated with HNE, because the HNE-dGuo adduct represented more than 95% of the overall adducts to DNA. In addition, the former lesion was poorly repaired, in contrast to 1,N2-ethenoguanine and, to a lesser extent, 1,N6-ethenoadenine. Altogether, these results suggest than HNE-dGuo may represent the best biomarker of the genotoxic effects of HNE.

Abstract
1,N(6)-Ethenoadenine (epsilonAde) is a promutagenic lesion detected in tissue DNA; it has been shown that epsilonAde can be repaired by human DNA glycosylases, and it is expected to be excreted in urine. In this paper, we present for the first time detection and accurate quantification of epsilonAde in human urine samples by a highly sensitive and specific stable isotope dilution gas chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization/mass spectrometric assay (GC/NICI/MS). Analysis by GC/NICI/MS includes adduct enrichment by a solid phase extraction column, followed by electrophore labeling and postderivatization cleanup. Using selective ion monitoring mode, the assay allows quantification of 0.5 pg of epsilonAde in as little as 0.1 mL of the urine sample, which is equivalent to corresponding concentration quantification limit of 31 pM. Using this assay, concentrations of epsilonAde in the 24 h urine samples of 23 healthy individuals were determined, which ranged from 0 to 124 pg/mL. After we adjusted for creatinine, a statistically significant correlation was found between epsilonAde excretion and cigarette smoking in males (p = 0.03). Thus, this stable isotope dilution GC/NICI/MS assay offers a sensitive and accurate quantification of urinary epsilonAde as a potential biomarker for oxidative damage of DNA and repair.

Abstract
The estimation and characterization of a cancer risk is grounded in the observation of tumors in humans and/or experimental animals. Increasingly, however, other kinds of data (non-tumor data) are finding application in cancer risk assessment. Metabolism and kinetics, adduct formation, genetic damage, mode of action, and biomarkers of exposure, susceptibility, and effects are examples. While these and other parameters have been studied for many important chemicals over the past 30-40 years, their use in risk assessments is more recent, and new insights and opportunities are continuing to unfold. To provide some perspective on this field, the ILSI Risk Science Institute asked a select working group to characterize the pertinent non-tumor data available for 1,3-butadiene, benzene, and vinyl chloride and to comment on the utility of these data in characterizing cancer risks. This paper presents the findings of that working group and concludes with 15 simple principles for the use of non-tumor data in cancer risk assessment.

Abstract
A method involving on-line reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry detection has been developed for the analysis of 1,N(2)-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine in DNA. This methodology permits direct quantification of 20 fmol (7.4 adducts/10(8) dGuo) of the etheno adduct from approximately 350 microg of crude DNA hydrolysate. Using the newly developed technique, basal levels of 1,N(2)-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine were determined in commercial calf thymus DNA (1.70 +/- 0.09 adducts/10(7) dGuo), in cultured mammalian cells (CV1-P) DNA (4.5 +/- 0.4 adducts/10(7) dGuo), and in untreated female rat liver DNA (5.22 +/- 1.37 adduct/10(7) dGuo). The mutagenicity of 1,N(2)-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine had already been demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo systems. The method described here provides the first evidence of the occurrence of 1,N(2)-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine as a basal endogenous lesion and may be usefully employed to assess the biological consequences of etheno DNA damage under normal and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is generated from activated phagocytes during infections and inflammation. One of the major products of HOCl reaction with DNA was 5-chlorocytosine (5Cl-Cyt). In this report, a gas chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization/mass spectrometry (GC/NICI/MS) assay with stable isotope dilution was developed for detection and quantification of 5Cl-Cyt in DNA. During hydrolysis of DNA, 5Cl-Cyt undergoes spontaneous deamination quantitatively forming 5-chlorouracil (5Cl-Ura). The stable isotope of 5Cl-Ura with six mass units higher than the normal 5Cl-Ura was synthesized and used as internal standard of the assay. The adduct-enriched fraction of DNA hydrolysate was derivatized with pentafluorobenzyl bromide before GC/NICI/MS analysis with selected ion monitoring at [M - 181](-) fragments of bispentafluorobenzylated 5Cl-Ura and its isotope analogue. The limit of detection was 20 amol (S/N = 8) of bispentafluorobenzylated 5Cl-Ura injected on column with selective ion monitoring mode and the limit of quantification for the entire assay was 14 fmol of 5Cl-Cyt. Analysis of hypochlorous acid-treated calf thymus DNA by both GC/NICI/MS and HPLC/UV detection provided similar adduct levels and thus verified this new GC/NICI/MS assay. Using this highly specific and ultrasensitive GC/NICI/MS method, the levels of 5Cl-Cyt in untreated calf thymus DNA and human placental DNA were determined as 0.6 and 6.6 adducts per 10(7) normal cytosine, respectively. Peroxynitrite also contributed to 5Cl-Cyt formation in DNA. Level of 5Cl-Cyt in DNA treated with peroxynitrite in the presence of chloride was higher than that without addition of chloride. Thus, quantification of 5Cl-Cyt in DNA by this isotope dilution GC/NICI/MS assay may facilitate research on the role of DNA chlorination in carcinogenesis and in cancer development.

Abstract
The promutagenic etheno DNA adducts have been detected in tissue DNA of rodents and humans from various exogenous and endogenous sources. While other etheno DNA adducts have been detected and quantified by isotope dilution gas chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization/mass spectrometry (GC/NICI/MS), similar analysis for 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (epsilonCyt) has not been available. In this report, a GC/NICI/MS assay was developed for detection and quantification of epsilonCyt in DNA and in human urine samples. The stable isotope of epsilonCyt with 7 mass units higher than the normal epsilonCyt was synthesized and used as internal standard of the assay. The adduct-enriched fraction of DNA hydrolysate was derivatized with pentafluorobenzyl bromide before GC/NICI/MS analysis with selective ion monitoring at [M - 181](-) fragments of pentafluorobenzylated epsilonCyt and its isotope analogue. One femtogram (S/N > 40) of pentafluorobenzylated epsilonCyt was detected when injected on column with selective ion monitoring mode. The limit of quantification for the entire assay was 7.4 fmol of epsilonCyt, which was approximately one thousand times lower than that of the HPLC/fluorescence assay for the nucleoside 3,N(4)-etheno-2'-deoxycytidine in DNA. Analysis of chloroacetaldehyde-treated calf thymus DNA by both GC/NICI/MS and HPLC/fluorescence methods provided similar adduct levels and thus verified the assay. This GC/NICI/MS method was used for analysis of epsilonCyt in two smokers' urine samples and the average level of epsilonCyt was 101 +/- 17 pg/mL/g of creatinine. Thus, quantification of epsilonCyt in DNA and in urine by this highly specific and ultrasensitive isotope dilution GC/NICI/MS assay may facilitate research on the role of epsilonCyt in carcinogenesis and in cancer development.

Abstract
Fe(II)-mediated decomposition of 13-[S-(Z,E)]-9, 11-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic (hydroperoxylinoleic) acid resulted in the formation of three alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. At low Fe(II) concentrations or at early time points after the addition of Fe(II), two major products were observed. The least polar product had chromatographic properties that were identical with those of 4-oxo-2-nonenal. Conversion of this product to its bis-oxime derivative with hydroxylamine hydrochloride resulted in two syn- and two anti-oxime isomers that had chromatographic and mass spectral properties identical with the properties of products derived from an authentic standard of 4-oxo-2-nonenal. This confirmed for the first time that 4-oxo-2-nonenal is a major product of the Fe(II)-mediated breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides. The more polar product had chromatographic properties that were similar to those of 4-hydroperoxy-2-nonenal. LC/MS analysis of its syn- and anti-oxime isomers confirmed this structural assignment. Thus, 4-hydroperoxy-2-nonenal is a previously unrecognized major product of lipid hydroperoxide decomposition. At high Fe(II) concentrations and at longer incubation times, a third more polar product was observed with chromatographic properties that were identical to those of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. The syn- and anti-oxime isomers had chromatographic and mass spectral properties identical with the properties of products derived from an authentic standard of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal. It appears that 4-hydroperoxy-2-nonenal is formed initially and that it is then converted to 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal in the presence of high Fe(II) concentrations or by extended incubations in the presence of low Fe(II) concentrations. It is conceivable that some of the 4-hydroperoxy-2-nonenal is also converted to 4-oxo-2-nonenal. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that it is also formed by a concerted mechanism from a rearrangement product of 13-[S-(Z,E)]-9, 11-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid.

Abstract
During the past 25 years, ethenobases have emerged as a new class of DNA lesions with promutagenic potential. Ethenobases were first investigated as DNA reaction products of vinyl chloride, an occupational carcinogen causing angiosarcoma of the liver (ASL). They were subsequently shown to be formed by several carcinogenic agents, including urethane (ethyl carbamate), and more recently, to occur in various tissues of unexposed humans and rodents. The endogenous source of ethenobases in DNA is thought to be a lipid peroxidation (LPO) product. Initial studies on metabolic activation, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity moved to the analyses of the formation of ethenobases in vivo and to the determination of their promutagenic properties. Quantification of etheno adducts in vivo became possible with the development of ultrasensitive techniques of analysis. To study the miscoding properties of ethenobases, the initial assays on the fidelity of replication or of transcription were replaced by site-directed mutagenesis assays in vivo. Ethenobases generate mainly base pair substitution mutations. With the advent of new techniques of molecular biology, mutations were investigated in the ras and p53 genes of tumors induced by vinyl chloride and urethane. In liver tumors induced by vinyl chloride, specific mutational patterns were found in the Ki-ras gene in human ASL, in the Ha-ras gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in rats, and in the p53 gene in human and rat ASL. In tumors induced by urethane in mice, codon 61 of the Ha-ras gene (liver, skin) and of the Ki-ras gene (lung) seems to be a characteristic target. These tumor mutation spectra are compatible with the promutagenic properties of etheno adducts and with their formation in target tissues, suggesting that ethenobases can be initiating lesions in carcinogenesis. Another recent focus has been given to the repair of etheno adducts, and DNA glycosylases able to excise these adducts in vitro have been identified. The last two decades have brought ethenobases to light as potentially important DNA lesions in carcinogenesis. More research is needed to better understand the environmental and genetic factors that affect the formation and persistence of ethenobases in vivo.

Abstract
Exocyclic DNA adducts have been reported to derive from various exogenous as well as endogenous sources, such as lipid peroxidation. Among them, 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (epsilonAde) has previously been detected in tissue DNA of untreated rodents and humans by an immunoaffinity/(32)P-postlabeling method. This study reports detection and quantification of the endogenous epsilonAde adduct in the same human placental DNA by three independent assays, namely, GC/MS, LC/MS, and HPLC/fluorescence. Using a recently reported gas chromatography/negative ion chemical ionization/mass spectrometry (GC/NICI/MS) method [Chen, H.-J. C., et al. (1998) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 11, 1474], the level of epsilonAde in human placental DNA from a commercial source was found to be 2.3 adducts per 10(6) Ade bases. To confirm these findings, a liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI/MS/MS) method was developed for epsilondAdo. With this LC/MS assay, epsilondAdo was detected at the level of 2.5 adducts per 10(6) dAdo nucleosides in the same human placental DNA. The stable isotopes of epsilonAde and epsilondAdo were added as internal standards in both GC/MS and LC/ESI/MS/MS assays, respectively, and thus provided high specificity, reproducibility, and accurate quantification. The relatively high levels of epsilonAde in this human placental DNA detected by mass spectrometry were further verified by HPLC/fluorescence analysis. The GC/MS method was validated by the HPLC/fluorescence assay using calf thymus DNA treated with chloroacetaldehyde or by the LC/MS method with 2, 3-epoxy-4-hydroxynonanal-modified calf thymus DNA. The epsilonAde level in human placental DNA freshly isolated in the presence of an antioxidant was similar to that in DNA from the commercial source. Since epsilonAde is a potential mutagenic lesion, analysis of epsilonAde by the specific and sensitive GC/NICI/MS method may provide a useful biomarker in cancer risk assessment.
