Abstract
The allure of tobacco smoking is linked to the instant gratification provided by inhaled nicotine. Unfortunately, tobacco curing and burning generates many mutagens including more than 70 carcinogens. There are two types of mutagens and carcinogens in tobacco smoke (TS): direct DNA damaging carcinogens and procarcinogens, which require metabolic activation to become DNA damaging. Recent studies provide three new insights on TS-induced DNA damage. First, two major types of TS DNA damage are induced by direct carcinogen aldehydes, cyclic-1,N2-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (γ-OH-PdG) and α-methyl-1, N2-γ-OH-PdG, rather than by the procarcinogens, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic amines. Second, TS reduces DNA repair proteins and activity levels. TS aldehydes also prevent procarcinogen activation. Based on these findings, we propose that aldehydes are major sources of TS induce DNA damage and a driving force for carcinogenesis. E-cigarettes (E-cigs) are designed to deliver nicotine in an aerosol state, without burning tobacco. E-cigarette aerosols (ECAs) contain nicotine, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. ECAs induce O6-methyl-deoxyguanosines (O6-medG) and cyclic γ-hydroxy-1,N2--propano-dG (γ-OH-PdG) in mouse lung, heart and bladder tissues and causes a reduction of DNA repair proteins and activity in lungs. Nicotine and nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK) induce the same types of DNA adducts and cause DNA repair inhibition in human cells. After long-term exposure, ECAs induce lung adenocarcinoma and bladder urothelial hyperplasia in mice. We propose that E-cig nicotine can be nitrosated in mouse and human cells becoming nitrosamines, thereby causing two carcinogenic effects, induction of DNA damage and inhibition of DNA repair, and that ECA is carcinogenic in mice. Thus, this article reviews the newest literature on DNA adducts and DNA repair inhibition induced by nicotine and ECAs in mice and cultured human cells, and provides insights into ECA carcinogenicity in mice.

Abstract
DNA adduct formation in humans is a promising biomarker for elucidating the molecular epidemiology of cancer. For detection of DNA adducts, the most widely used methods include mass spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, immunoassays and 32P-postlabelling. Among them, the 32P-postlabelling method appears to meet best the criteria of sensitivity and amount of DNA needed, and, therefore, is one of the most appropriate methods for biomonitoring of human DNA adducts. Most classes of carcinogens have been subjected to 32P-postlabelling analysis, ranging from bulky and/or aromatic compounds to small and/or aliphatic compounds; it has also been used, with modifications, to detect apurinic sites in DNA, oxidative damage to DNA, UV-induced photodimers and, to a lesser extent, DNA damage caused by cytotoxic drugs. It has been used in human biomonitoring studies to detect DNA damage from occupational exposure to carcinogens, and also from environmental (i.e. non-occupational) exposures. It has also led to the discovery of the presence of numerous modifications in DNA arising from endogenous processes. The principle of the method is the enzymatic digestion of DNA to nucleotides, 5'-labelling of these nucleotides with an isotopically labelled phosphate group, and the resolution, detection and quantitation of the labelled products. Since the development of the original procedure in the early 1980s, many methods have been developed to increase the sensitivity by enrichment of modified nucleotides prior to labelling. The review presents the individual 32P-postlabelling techniques (standard procedure, enrichment methods) and a critical evaluation of these assays, besides reviewing the applications of the method to different DNA modifications, and its utilization in human biomonitoring studies. A review with 179 references.

Abstract
3-Methylindole (3MI), melatonin (Mel), serotonin (Ser), and tryptamine (Tryp) were evaluated in vitro for their potential to induce DNA adducts, DNA strand breaks, chromosomal aberrations (Abs), inhibition of DNA synthesis, and mutations. All compounds produced DNA adducts in calf thymus DNA in the presence of rat liver S9. In cultured rat hepatocytes, all produced DNA adducts but none induced DNA strand breaks. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, 3MI and Mel produced DNA adducts, Abs, and inhibition of DNA synthesis with and without S9, except that Mel without S9 did not form adducts. Ser formed DNA adducts, was an equivocal Abs inducer, and suppressed DNA synthesis. Tryp induced neither adducts nor Abs, but did suppress DNA synthesis with S9. Ser and Tryp were less cytotoxic than 3MI and Mel. Mel, Ser, and Tryp failed to induce mutations in Salmonella and E. coli strains with or without S9. 3MI and Mel produced DNA adducts but not mutations in Salmonella TA100 with S9. 3MI and its metabolite indole 3-carbinol also did not induce mutations in a shuttle vector system in human cells. The lack of correlation between DNA adducts and other genotoxicity endpoints for these indole compounds may be due to the higher sensitivity of the (32)P-postlabeling adduct assay or it may indicate that the indole-DNA adducts per se are not mutagenic and are not able to induce strand breaks or alkali-labile lesions. The indole-induced Abs may result from cytotoxicity and suppression of DNA synthesis with minimal if any contribution from DNA adducts.

Abstract
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) found in various cruciferous vegetables has been shown to exert anti-carcinogenic activity in several target organs. In this study, we have investigated the effects of I3C on cigarette smoke-related lipophilic DNA adduct formation, potentially a key step in chemical carcinogenesis. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to sidestream cigarette smoke in a whole-body exposure chamber for 6 h per day, 7 days a week for 4 weeks. Control animals received only vehicle while the intervention groups received I3C (1. 36 or 3.40 mmol/kg, b.wt.) daily by gavage starting from 1 week prior to smoke initiation until the end of the experiment. Analysis of tissue DNA by nuclease P1-mediated 32P-postlabeling showed one major and several minor smoke-related adducts in lung, trachea, heart and bladder. The high dose of I3C significantly inhibited the major adducts in lung (#5) and trachea (#3) by 55% each; minor adducts were slightly inhibited (20-40%). The low dose of I3C showed lesser degree of inhibition (30-40%) in both lung and trachea; however, it was found statistically significant in lung only. The major smoke-related adduct in bladder (#2) was strongly inhibited (>65%) by high dose of I3C approaching adduct levels achieved in sham-exposed rats. A small but statistically significant decrease in the smoke-related DNA adduct (#5) in heart tissue was also observed by intervention with high dose I3C. Low levels (30-50 adducts/10(10) nucleotides) of I3C-derived DNA adducts were also found in all the tissues examined although their significance remains unknown. These data show significant inhibition of cigarette smoke-related DNA adducts by I3C, particularly in the lung, trachea, and bladder.

Abstract
Detection of 7-alkylguanine DNA adducts is useful to assess human exposure to and the resulting DNA damage caused by simple alkylating agents. The background 7-methylguanine (7-MG) and 7-hydroxyethylguanine (7-HEG) adduct levels were determined in human and rat tissues, using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) combined with high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition, these two adduct levels were also compared in various tissues between smokers and non-smokers. The results demonstrated that the background level of 7-alkylguanine adducts in WBC and lung tissues of non-smokers was 2.9 and 4.0 adducts/107 nucleotides, respectively. In smokers with lung cancers 7-MG adduct level in lung samples (6.3+/-1.9 adducts/107 nucleotides) and in bronchus samples (6.1+/-1.5 adducts/107 nucleotides) was significantly higher than that in WBC samples (3.3+/-0.9 adducts/107 nucleotides). 7-HEG adduct levels obtained from the same individuals were 0.8+/-0.3 in lung, 1.0+/-0.8 in bronchus and 0.6+/-0.2 adducts/107 nucleotides in WBC, respectively. Animal studies showed that background levels of 7-MG (2.1-2.5 adducts/107 nucleotides) in control rats were approximately 2-4-fold higher than 7-HEG levels (0.6-0.9 adducts/107 nucleotides). After a 3-day exposure to 300 ppm ethene, 7-HEG adducts accumulated to a similar extent in different tissues of rats, with the mean adduct level of 5.6-7.0 in liver, 7.4 in lymphocytes and 5.5 adducts/107 nucleotides in kidney.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare (+/-)-r-7,t-8-dihydroxy-t-9,10-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (anti-BPDE)-DNA adduct levels in groups of humans subjected to various levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) (benzo[a]pyrene) exposure. An HPLC/fluorescence method was applied to detect specifically anti-BPDE-DNA adducts in mononuclear white blood cells [lymphocyte plus monocyte fraction (LMF)] from humans exposed to PAHs. A total of 130 subjects comprised the sample population: 26 psoriatic patients (3 days after clinical coal tar treatment of the skin), 15 coke oven workers, 19 chimney sweeps, 36 aluminium anode plant workers and 34 non-occupationally PAH-exposed subjects (controls). PAH exposure was assessed in each group by means of the urinary excretion of 1-pyrenol (mean group levels: 1.2, 0.7, 0.3, 65.0 and 0.1 micromol/mol creatinine in coke oven workers, chimney sweeps, aluminium plant anode workers, psoriatic patients and non-occupationally PAH-exposed subjects, respectively). HPLC/fluorescence analysis of BPDE-DNA adducts showed that the percentage of subjects with adduct levels exceeding the 95 percentile control subject value (8.9 adducts/10(8) nucleotides) was significantly high in coke oven workers (46.7%) and chimney sweeps (21.0%) (chi2 test, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively) but not in aluminium plant workers (11.1%) and psoriatic patients (0%). The increase in BPDE-DNA adduct levels in LMF (Ln values) was significantly related to chronic inhalatory and high PAH exposure (linear multiple regression analysis, F = 6.37, P < 0.01; t = 4.2, P < 0.001). Skin acute (or short-term) and high PAH exposure, charcoal-grilled meat consumption and smoking habit did not seem to influence BPDE-DNA adduct formation in LMF.

Abstract
Lipophilic DNA adducts are a complex group of structurally unidentified DNA adducts present in human DNA which can be extracted to 1-butanol and are well retained in C-18 columns during HPLC analysis. Levels of these lipophilic adducts when determined by 32H-HPLC are high. Their abundance highlights the importance of further study. In this study, the lipophilic adducts were analysed by 32H-HPLC in human lung, lymphocyte, breast, skin, colon and endometrial tissues. Tissue-specific patterns of the adducts were shown and the adduct levels in these tissues were 9.7, 13.8, 8.9, 17. 0, 1.8 and 2.3x10-7, respectively. In order to find the possible sources of the lipophilic DNA adducts, effects of cigarette smoking, occupational exposure to PAHs, and age on adduct levels in lymphocytes were examined by analyzing samples collected from 20 Swedish elderly volunteers with a mean age of 55 (10 smokers and 10 non-smokers) and 20 Swedish younger aluminium and control workers with a mean age of 39. Exposures to cigarette smoke and PAHs did not increase total adduct levels nor the levels of major, individual adducts. The total adduct levels in the elderly volunteers and the younger workers were (13.7+/-4.7)/107 and (13.8+/-8.0)/107, respectively, not influenced by age. But the levels of two major HPLC fractions in the elderly volunteers differed significantly from those in the younger workers (25.1/108 vs. 8.7/108 (P<0.0001), and 15.4/108 vs. 28.5/108 (P<0.01), respectively). These results suggested a possible endogenous origin of some of the lipophilic DNA adducts. In further support of this speculation, by comparing migration properties in HPLC and TLC of human adducts with a standard, we found an adduct in human lung tissue that was putatively induced by 2,3-epoxy-4-hydroxynonenal which is an epoxidation product of 4-hydroxynonenal, a major product of lipid peroxidation.
