Abstract
The concept of the exposome is the encompassing of all the environmental exposures, both exogenous and endogenous, across the life course. Many, if not all, of these exposures can result in the generation of reactive species, and/or the modulation of cellular processes, that can lead to a breadth of modifications of DNA, the nature of which may be used to infer their origin. Because of their role in cell function, such modifications have been associated with various major human diseases, including cancer, and so their assessment is crucial. Historically, most methods have been able to only measure one or a few DNA modifications at a time, limiting the information available. With the development of DNA adductomics, which aims to determine the totality of DNA modifications, a far more comprehensive picture of the DNA adduct burden can be gained. Importantly, DNA adductomics can facilitate a "top-down" investigative approach whereby patterns of adducts may be used to trace and identify the originating exposure source. This, together with other 'omic approaches, represents a major tool for unraveling the complexities of the exposome and hence allow a better a understanding of the environmental origins of disease.

The Effects of Black Raspberry as a Whole Food-Based Approach on Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress in Buccal Cells and Urine of Smokers. Cancer Prev Res (Phila) 2024; 17:157-167. [PMID: 38286439 PMCID: PMC10987264 DOI: 10.1158/1940-6207.capr-23-0153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024]
Abstract
Cigarette smoke is a rich source of free radicals that can promote oxidative stress and carcinogenesis, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) development; importantly, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-isoprostane) are biomarkers of oxidative stress. Several mechanisms, including the antioxidant properties of black raspberry (BRB), account for their chemopreventive effects. In the present clinical trial, we tested the hypothesis that BRB administration reduces biomarkers levels of oxidative stress in buccal cells and urine of smokers. One week after enrolling 21 smokers, baseline buccal cells and urine samples were collected before the administration of BRB lozenges for 8 weeks (5/day, 1 gm BRB/lozenge). Buccal cells and urine samples were collected at the middle and the end of BRB administration. The last samples were collected after the BRB cessation (washout period). We analyzed levels of 8-oxodG and 8-isoprostane (LC/MS-MS), urinary cotinine (ELISA), and creatinine (spectrophotometry). BRB significantly reduced the levels of 8-oxodG by 17.08% (P = 0.00079) in buccal cells and 12.44% (P = 0.034) in urine at the middle of BRB administration as compared with baseline; the corresponding values at the end of BRB administration were 16.46% (P = 0.026) in buccal cells and 25.72% (P = 0.202) in urine. BRB had no significant effect on the levels of urinary 8-isoprostane. BRB's capacity to inhibit 8-oxodG formation of smokers' buccal cells and urine is clearly evident and the reduction in 8-oxodG suggests that antioxidant abilities are central to BRB's HNSCC chemopreventive properties. PREVENTION RELEVANCE Cigarette smoke contains highly active components namely free radicals that can promote oxidative stress and oral cancer. We found that black raspberry (BRB) inhibited the formation of oxidative stress markers in the oral cavity and urine of smokers suggesting the antioxidant abilities of BRB in preventing oral cancer.

Abstract
Damage of reactive oxygen species to various molecules such as DNA has been related to many chronic and degenerative human diseases, aging, and even cancer. 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), the most significant oxidation product of guanine (G), has become a biomarker of oxidative stress as well as gene regulation. The positive effect of OG in activating transcription and the negative effect in inducing mutation are a double-edged sword; thus, site-specific quantification is helpful to quickly reveal the functional mechanism of OG at hotspots. Due to the possible biological effects of OG at extremely low abundance in the genome, the monitoring of OG is vulnerable to signal interference from a large amount of G. Herein, based on rolling circle amplification-induced G-triplex formation and Thioflavin T fluorescence enhancement, an ultrasensitive strategy for locus-specific OG quantification was constructed. Owing to the difference in the hydrogen-bonding pattern between OG and G, the nonspecific background signal of G sites was completely suppressed through enzymatic ligation of DNA probes and the triggered specificity of rolling circle amplification. After the signal amplification strategy was optimized, the high detection sensitivity of OG sites with an ultralow detection limit of 0.18 amol was achieved. Under the interference of G sites, as little as 0.05% of OG-containing DNA was first distinguished. This method was further used for qualitative and quantitative monitoring of locus-specific OG in genomic DNA under oxidative stress and identification of key OG sites with biological function.

Abstract
DNA damage causes genomic instability underlying many diseases, with traditional analytical approaches providing minimal insight into the spectrum of DNA lesions in vivo. Here we used untargeted chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry-based adductomics (LC-MS/MS) to begin to define the landscape of DNA modifications in rat and human tissues. A basis set of 114 putative DNA adducts was identified in heart, liver, brain, and kidney in 1-26-month-old rats and 111 in human heart and brain by 'stepped MRM' LC-MS/MS. Subsequent targeted analysis of these species revealed species-, tissue-, age- and sex-biases. Structural characterization of 10 selected adductomic signals as known DNA modifications validated the method and established confidence in the DNA origins of the signals. Along with strong tissue biases, we observed significant age-dependence for 36 adducts, including N2-CMdG, 5-HMdC and 8-Oxo-dG in rats and 1,N6-ϵdA in human heart, as well as sex biases for 67 adducts in rat tissues. These results demonstrate the potential of adductomics for discovering the true spectrum of disease-driving DNA adducts. Our dataset of 114 putative adducts serves as a resource for characterizing dozens of new forms of DNA damage, defining mechanisms of their formation and repair, and developing them as biomarkers of aging and disease.

Abstract
Alkylation reagents, represented by sulfur mustard (SM), can damage DNA molecules directly as well as lead to oxidative stress, causing DNA lesions indirectly. Correspondingly, two types of biomarkers including alkylated DNA adducts and oxidative DNA adducts are commonly involved in the research of DNA damage evaluation caused by these agents. However, the correlations and differences of the occurrence, duration, severity, and traceability between alkylation and oxidation lesions on the DNA molecular level reflected by these two types of biomarkers have not been systematically studied. A simultaneous determination method for four alkylated DNA adducts, i.e., N7-(2-hydroxyethylthioethyl)2'-guanine (N7-HETEG), O6-(2-hydroxyethylthioethyl)-2'-guanine (O6-HETEG), N3-(2-hydroxyethylthioethyl)-2'-adenine (N3-HETEA), and bis(2-ethyl-N7-guanine)thioether (Bis-G), and the oxidative adduct 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) in urine samples by isotope-dilution high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-HPLC-MS/MS) was built with a lower limit of detection of 0.02 ng/mL (except Bis-G, 0.05 ng/mL) and a recovery of 79-111%. The profile of these adducts was simultaneously monitored in urine samples after SD rats' dermal exposure to SM in three dose levels (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg). The time-effect and dose-effect experiments revealed that when exposed to SM, DNA alkylation lesions would happen earlier than those of oxidation. For the two types of biomarkers, alkylated DNA adducts showed an obvious dose-effect relationship and could be used as internal exposure dose and effect biomarkers, while 8-OH-dG did not show a correlation with exposure dose, demonstrating that it was more suitable as a biomarker for DNA oxidative lesions but not an indicator for the extent of cytotoxicity and internal exposure.

Abstract
We developed a liquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray ionization-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-NSI-HRMS/MS) method for simultaneous quantitative analysis of 5 oral cell DNA adducts associated with cigarette smoking: (8R/S)-3-(2'-deoxyribos-1'-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-hydroxypyrimido[1,2-a]purine-10(3H)-one (γ-OH-Acr-dGuo, 1) from acrolein; (6S,8S and 6R,8R)-3-(2'-deoxyribos-1'-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimido[1,2-a]purine-10(3H)-one [(6S,8S)γ-OH-Cro-dGuo, 2; and (6R,8R)γ-OH-Cro-dGuo, 3] from crotonaldehyde; 1,N6-etheno-dAdo (4) from acrylonitrile, vinyl chloride, lipid peroxidation, and inflammation; and 8-oxo-dGuo (5) from oxidative damage. Oral cell DNA was isolated in the presence of glutathione to prevent artifact formation. Clear LC-NSI-HRMS/MS chromatograms were obtained allowing quantitation of each adduct using the appropriately labeled internal standards. The accuracy and precision of the method were validated, and the assay limit of quantitation was 5 fmol/μmol dGuo for adducts 1-4 and 20 fmol/μmol for adduct 5. The assay was applied to 80 buccal cell samples selected from those collected in the Shanghai Cohort Study: 40 from current smokers and 40 from never smokers. Significant differences were found in all adduct levels between smokers and nonsmokers. Levels of 8-oxo-dGuo (5) were at least 3000 times greater than those of the other adducts in both smokers and nonsmokers, and the difference between amounts of this adduct in smokers versus nonsmokers, while significant (P = 0.013), was not as great as the differences of the other DNA adducts between smokers and nonsmokers (P-values all less than 0.001). No significant relationship of adduct levels to risk of lung cancer incidence was found. This study provides a new LC-NSI-HRMS/MS methodology for the quantitation of diverse DNA adducts resulting from exposure to the α,β-unsaturated aldehydes acrolein and crotonaldehyde, inflammation, and oxidative damage which are all associated with carcinogenesis. We anticipate application of this assay in ongoing studies of the molecular epidemiology of cancers of the lung and oral cavity related to cigarette smoking.

Abstract
Plastic nanoparticles are widely spread in the biosphere, but health risk associated with their effect on the human organism has not yet been assessed. The purpose of this study was to determine the genotoxic potential of non-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) of different diameters of 29, 44, and 72 nm in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (in vitro). To select non-cytotoxic concentrations of tested PS-NPs, we analyzed metabolic activity of PBMCs incubated with these particles in concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 1000 µg/mL. Then, PS-NPs were used in concentrations from 0.0001 to 100 μg/mL and incubated with tested cells for 24 h. Physico-chemical properties of PS-NPs in media and suspension were analyzed using dynamic light scattering (DLS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and zeta potential. For the first time, we investigated the mechanism of genotoxic action of PS-NPs based on detection of single/double DNA strand-breaks and 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation, as well as determination of oxidative modification of purines and pyrimidines and repair efficiency of DNA damage. Obtained results have shown that PS-NPs caused a decrease in PBMCs metabolic activity, increased single/double-strand break formation, oxidized purines and pyrimidines and increased 8oxodG levels. The resulting damage was completely repaired in the case of the largest PS-NPs. It was also found that extent of genotoxic changes in PBMCs depended on the size of tested particles and their ζ-potential value.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage is tightly linked to the development of multiple age-related diseases. The prominent oxidation product is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), which has been proved to be an important epigenetic-like biomarker. Quantification of the locus-specific OG frequency includes quantitative and locating information, which is of great significance for exploring the functional roles of OG in disease induction and gene regulation. Herein, an ultrasensitive quantification of OG at single-base resolution was established using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction as an amplification tool. Based on the coding property of Bsu DNA polymerase that incorporates adenine on the opposite site of OG and the selectivity of the ligase for perfectly matched sequences, the difference between OG and G on the sequence could be enlarged. Well-performed Taq DNA ligase was selected out, and as low as 46.2 zmol of target DNA with an OG site and an OG frequency of 5% could be detected. G contents on a specific site were also detectable based on the similar principle, thus the OG frequency of this locus could be accurately determined by a standard addition method. This strategy was successfully applied to the evaluation of locus-specific OG in both model DNA and genomic DNA from human cervical carcinoma cell lines under multiple oxidative stress, showing the potential for functional research and dynamic monitoring of critical OG sites.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the main source of energy used to maintain cellular homeostasis. This aspect of mitochondrial biology underlies their putative role in age-associated tissue dysfunction. Proper functioning of the electron transport chain (ETC), which is partially encoded by the extra-nuclear mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), is key to maintaining this energy production. The acquisition of de novo somatic mutations that interrupt the function of the ETC have long been associated with aging and common diseases of the elderly. Yet, despite over 30 years of study, the exact role(s) mtDNA mutations play in driving aging and its associated pathologies remains under considerable debate. Furthermore, even fundamental aspects of age-related mtDNA mutagenesis, such as when mutations arise during aging, where and how often they occur across tissues, and the specific mechanisms that give rise to them, remain poorly understood. In this review, we address the current understanding of the somatic mtDNA mutations, with an emphasis of when, where, and how these mutations arise during aging. Additionally, we highlight current limitations in our knowledge and critically evaluate the controversies stemming from these limitations. Lastly, we highlight new and emerging technologies that offer potential ways forward in increasing our understanding of somatic mtDNA mutagenesis in the aging process.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:19642-19656. [PMID: 34718956 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-17230-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The toxic effects of mercury in earthworms and the potential alleviation effect of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) using ATR-FTIR and LC-MS analysis methods were investigated. Different concentrations of mercury chloride (H1: 5 µg/mL, H2: 10 µg/mL, H3: 20 µg/mL, H4: 40 µg/mL, and C1: control) and mercury chloride prepared in hydrogen-rich water (H5: 5 µg/mL, H6: 10 µg/mL, H7: 20 µg/mL, H8: 40 µg/mL, and C2: control) were injected into earthworms. The changes and reductions in some bands representing proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides (3280 cm-1, 2922 cm-1, 2855 cm-1, 1170 cm-1, and 1047 cm-1) showed that protective effects could occur in groups prepared with hydrogen-rich water. In the FTIR results, it was found that these bands in the H3 group were more affected and decreased by the influence of mercury on earthworms than the H7 group prepared with hydrogen. LC-MS analysis showed that the changes in some ions of the highest dose groups (H4 and H8) were different, and mercury caused oxidative DNA damage in earthworms. When the high-level application groups of mercury, i.e., H4 and H8 were compared with the controls, the ion exchange ([M + H] + ; m/z 283.1) representing the 8-Oxo-dG level in earthworms was higher in the H4 group than the H8 group. This reveals that HRW exhibited the potential ability to alleviate the toxic effects of mercury; however, a longer period of HRW treatment may be necessary to distinguish an obvious effect. The ATR-FTIR spectroscopy provided a rapid and precise method for monitoring the changes in biological tissues caused by a toxic compound at the molecular level.

Abstract
AIM Aging-related dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the main pathogenic factors for pathological angiogenesis due to dysregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinal vascular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). However, the molecular mechanism behind the up-regulation of VEGF in senescent RPE is still blurred. MATERIALS AND METHODS As oxidative damage is the key cause of RPE dysfunction, we employed a model of oxidative stress-induced premature senescence of ARPE-19 to explore the effect of senescent RPE on VEGF. KEY FINDINGS We reported that senescent ARPE-19 up-regulated VEGF expression under both short-term and prolonged H2O2 treatment, accompanying with increased HIF-1α, the key mediator of VEGF. STING signaling, which could be activated by oxidative stress-damaged DNA, was also observed to be increased in senescent ARPE-19 treated with H2O2. And the inhibition of STING significantly reduced HIF-1α expression to alleviate the up-regulation of VEGF. NF-κB was also shown to be involved in the regulation of VEGF in senescent ARPE-19 in response to STING signaling. Furthermore, oxidative stress impaired the lysosomal clearance of damaged DNA to enhance STING signaling, thereby up-regulating VEGF expression in senescent RPE. SIGNIFICANCE Our data provide evidence that STING plays an important role in VEGF regulation in senescent RPE induced by oxidative stress.

Abstract
Endogenous DNA lesions frequently occur due to internal effects such as oxidative stress, inflammation, endogenous alkylation, and epigenetic modifications. However, exposure to chemical toxicants from the environment, diet, or drugs can also induce significant endogenous DNA damage. The quantification of endogenous DNA damage effect markers might reflect the actual DNA damage level of chemical toxicants. Herein, we report a liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-QqQ MS/MS) method for simultaneous determination of eight representative endogenous DNA damage biomarkers, including five endogenous DNA damage effect markers (oxidative damage, 8-oxo-dG; lipid peroxidation, εdA and N2-Et-dG; inflammation, 5-Cl-dC; and endogenous alkylation, O6-Me-dG), and three epigenetic modifications (5-m-dC, 5-hm-dC, and N6-Me-dA). The method validation was performed, and the linear range was 0.05 pg to 2 ng (on-column), the limit of detection was 0.02 pg (on-column), and the precision, accuracy, matrix effect, and recovery were all between 85 and 115%. We then applied this method to evaluate endogenous DNA damage to human embryonic lung fibroblast cells exposed to five nitrogen mustards [NMs, i.e., HN1, HN2, HN3, chlorambucil (CB), and cyclophosphamide (CTX)], where curcumin exposure was used as a control due to its inability to induce the formation of endogenous DNA adducts. The amounts of eight DNA adducts in the low-, middle-, and high-concentration exposure groups of five NMs were almost all significantly different from those in the blank group (P < 0.05). We obtained a positive correlation between the contents of eight DNA damage biomarkers and the inhibition dose of five NMs, except for N2-Et-dG and 5-Cl-dC. Via further principal component analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis, we clustered all NMs into three units with different cytotoxicity levels, that is, HN2 and HN1 (highly toxic), HN3 and CB (moderately toxic), and CTX (less toxic). Moreover, for the same concentration of HN1/2/3 exposure groups, as the cytotoxicity increased according to the order of HN3 < HN1 < HN2, the contents of 8-oxo-dG, 5-m-dC, 5-hm-dC, and N6-Me-dA increased, whereas the content of O6-Me-dG decreased. Therefore, the contents of these DNA damage effect markers were somewhat related to the cytotoxicity and concentration of NMs. We hope that this method will provide an alternative evaluation approach for the toxicological effects of NMs and the safety of the medication.

Abstract
To provide insights into the cause of e-cigarette (e-cig) associated lung injury, we examined the effects of propylene glycol (PG) and glycerol (G), two common solvent carriers used to deliver nicotine/flavor, on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in female B6C3F1 mice which had been used successfully in tobacco smoke (TS)-induced lung carcinogenesis. Mice exposed to air and TS were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. Using LC-MS/MS, we showed that PG/G alone, in the absence of nicotine, significantly increased the levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG or its tautomer 8-oxodG), a biomarker of DNA oxidative damage, in lung and plasma of mice; moreover, addition of nicotine (12 and 24 mg/mL) in e-cig liquid appears to suppress the levels of 8-oxodG. Exposure to e-cig aerosols or TS induced nonsignificant increases of plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of inflammation; nonetheless, the levels of fibronectin (FN), a biomarker of tissue injury, were significantly increased by e-cig aerosols or TS. Although preliminary, our data showed that exposure to e-cig aerosols induced a higher score of lung injury than did control air or TS exposure. Our results indicate that the B6C3F1 mouse model may be suitable for an in-depth examination of the impact of e-cig on lung injury associated with oxidative stress and inflammation and this study adds to the growing evidence that the use of e-cig can lead to lung damage.

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
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chronic inflammation contribute to DNA damage of many organs, including the prostate. ROS cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, resulting in the formation of toxic and mutagenic intermediates. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) products covalently adduct to DNA and can lead to mutations. The levels of LPO DNA adducts reported in humans range widely. However, a large proportion of the DNA adducts may be attributed to artifact formation during the steps of isolation and nuclease digestion of DNA. We established a method that mitigates artifacts for most LPO adducts during the processing of DNA. We have applied this methodology to measure LPO DNA adducts in the genome of prostate cancer patients, employing ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization ion trap multistage mass spectrometry. Our preliminary data show that DNA adducts of acrolein, 6-hydroxy-1,N2-propano-2'-deoxyguanosine (6-OH-PdG) and 8-hydroxy-1,N2-propano-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-PdG) (4-20 adducts per 107 nucleotides) are more prominent than etheno (ε) adducts (<0.5 adducts per 108 nucleotides). This analytical methodology will be used to examine the correlation between oxidative stress, inflammation, and LPO adduct levels in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.

Abstract
DNA adducts are believed to play a central role in the induction of cancer in cigarette smokers and are proposed as being potential biomarkers of cancer risk. We have summarized research conducted since 2012 on DNA adduct formation in smokers. A variety of DNA adducts derived from various classes of carcinogens, including aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, tobacco-specific nitrosamines, alkylating agents, aldehydes, volatile carcinogens, as well as oxidative damage have been reported. The results are discussed with particular attention to the analytical methods used in those studies. Mass spectrometry-based methods that have higher selectivity and specificity compared to 32P-postlabeling or immunochemical approaches are preferred. Multiple DNA adducts specific to tobacco constituents have also been characterized for the first time in vitro or detected in vivo since 2012, and descriptions of those adducts are included. We also discuss common issues related to measuring DNA adducts in humans, including the development and validation of analytical methods and prevention of artifact formation.

Abstract
Bisphenol A diglycidy ether (BADGE) and its derivatives are epoxy resins and widely used as emerging plasticizers in food packages and material coating. Though known as endocrine disruptors, little information is available on their occurrence, exposure routes and toxicity. Besides, the analysis of BADGE and its derivatives has always been a challenge due to their reactive chemical properties and the background contamination. Therefore, we firstly developed a novel water-free method to analyze BADGE and its derivatives in dust samples together with other two typical plasticizers bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS). In order to investigate the levels in paired dust and urine samples, 33 paired samples were collected from Singapore. In both dust and urine samples, the predominant compounds were BPA, BADGE-2H2O and BPS. A significantly positive correlation of BPA levels in paired dust and urine samples was observed in this small-scale study. To tentatively explore the human health effect from exposure to these bisphenol plasticizers, we assessed the correlation between the urinary concentrations of these compounds and oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), an oxidative stress biomarker. The result showed that 8-OHdG levels in urine samples was positively correlated with urinary BPA level and body mass index (BMI), suggesting that elevated oxidative stress might be associated with BPA exposure and obesity. In the future, a larger scale study is warranted due to the limited sample size in this study.

Abstract
Redox (portmanteau of reduction-oxidation) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species in biological processes fundamental to life. It is of outmost importance that cells maintain a healthy redox state by balancing the action of oxidants and antioxidants; failure to do so leads to a multitude of diseases including cancer, diabetes, fibrosis, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. From the perspective of precision medicine, it is therefore beneficial to interrogate the redox phenotype of the individual-similar to the use of genomic sequencing-in order to design tailored strategies for disease prevention and treatment. This chapter provides an overview of redox metabolism and focuses on how mass spectrometry (MS) can be applied to advance our knowledge in redox biology and precision medicine.

Abstract
Introduction: Analysis of 8-oxodG is usually conducted by either chromatography-based methods or by immunochemical methods commonly used based upon their low cost and high-throughput. However, concern regarding the accuracy of ELISA methods has complicated their use. We directly compare the levels of urinary 8-oxodG obtained by HPLC-MS/MS with three commercially available ELISA kits in this report. Methods: In the current study, a total of 9 human urine samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and three commonly used commercial available ELISA kits. Results: We found that urinary 8-oxodG levels analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS [1.4 ± 0.3 nmol/mmol creatinine) were 7.6- to 23.5-fold lower than those detected by ELISA. Overall, the correlations between ELISA and HPLC-MS/MS were poor but were improved after SPE purification for kits from ENZO (P = 0.2817 without SPE; P = 0.0086 with SPE) and Abcam (P = 0.0596 without SPE; P = 0.0473 with SPE). Discussion and conclusion: While we confirmed that SPE purification can improve the correlation between the selected ELISA kits and HPLC-MS/MS, HPLC-MS/MS is still the method of choice to accurately assess the levels of 8-oxodG in human urine.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide-resolution sequencing of DNA damage is required to decipher the complex causal link between the identity and location of DNA adducts and their biological impact. However, the low abundance and inability to specifically amplify DNA damage hinders single-nucleotide mapping of adducts within whole genomes. Despite the high biological relevance of guanine oxidation and seminal recent advances in sequencing bulky adducts, single-nucleotide-resolution whole genome mapping of oxidative damage is not yet realized. We coupled the specificity of repair enzymes with the efficiency of a click DNA ligation reaction to insert a biocompatible locator code, enabling high-throughput, nucleotide-resolution sequencing of oxidative DNA damage in a genome. We uncovered thousands of oxidation sites with distinct patterns related to transcription, chromatin architecture, and chemical oxidation potential. Click-code-seq overcomes barriers to DNA damage sequencing and provides a new approach for generating comprehensive, sequence-specific information about chemical modification patterns in whole genomes.

Abstract
The retina is sensitive for light damages, because of direct light exposure, especially intense blue and UV light, which increase level of ROS and other toxic phototransduction products in photoreceptor cells. In our previous work ( Damulewicz et al., 2017a and 2017b), we used 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as a marker for oxidative stress to investigate the role of heme oxygenase in DNA protection against UV light. In this protocol, we showed how to determine the level of DNA damages in the retina using immunohistochemical staining.

Abstract
In this review article, emphasis is placed on the critical survey of available data concerning modified nucleobase and 2-deoxyribose products that have been identified in cellular DNA following exposure to a wide variety of oxidizing species and agents including, hydroxyl radical, one-electron oxidants, singlet oxygen, hypochlorous acid and ten-eleven translocation enzymes. In addition, information is provided about the generation of secondary oxidation products of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine and nucleobase addition products with reactive aldehydes arising from the decomposition of lipid peroxides. It is worth noting that the different classes of oxidatively generated DNA damage that consist of single lesions, intra- and interstrand cross-links were unambiguously assigned and quantitatively detected on the basis of accurate measurements involving in most cases high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The reported data clearly show that the frequency of DNA lesions generated upon severe oxidizing conditions, including exposure to ionizing radiation is low, at best a few modifications per 106 normal bases. Application of accurate analytical measurement methods has also allowed the determination of repair kinetics of several well-defined lesions in cellular DNA that however concerns so far only a restricted number of cases.

Abstract
The integration of the many roles of mitochondria in cellular function and the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction to disease are major areas of research. Within this realm, the roles of mitochondria in immune defense, epigenetics, and stem cell (SC) development have recently come into the spotlight. With new understanding, mitochondria may bring together these seemingly unrelated fields, a crucial process in treatment and prevention for various diseases. In this review we describe novel findings in these three arenas, discussing the significance of the interplay between mitochondria and the cell nucleus in response to environmental cues. While we optimistically anticipate that further research in these areas can have a profound impact on disease management, we also bring forth some of the key questions and challenges that remain.
