Abstract
The active DNA demethylation process, which involves TET proteins, can affect DNA methylation pattern. TET dependent demethylation results in DNA hypomethylation by oxidation 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) and its derivatives. Moreover, TETs' activity may be upregulated by ascorbate. Given that aberrant DNA methylation of genes implicated in breast carcinogenesis may be involved in tumor progression, we wanted to determine whether breast cancer patients exert changes in the active DNA demethylation process. The study included blood samples from breast cancer patients (n = 74) and healthy subjects (n = 71). We analyzed the expression of genes involved in the active demethylation process (qRT-PCR), and 5-mC and its derivatives level (2D-UPLC MS/MS). The ascorbate level was determined using UPLC-MS. Breast cancer patients had significantly higher TET3 expression level, lower 5-mC and 5-hmC DNA levels. TET3 was significantly increased in luminal B breast cancer patients with expression of hormone receptors. Moreover, the ascorbate level in the plasma of breast cancer patients was decreased with the accompanying increase of sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters (SLC23A1 and SLC23A2). The presented study indicates the role of TET3 in DNA demethylation in breast carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Loss-of-function TET2 mutations (TET2MT) are common in myeloid neoplasia. TET2, a DNA dioxygenase, requires 2-oxoglutarate and Fe(II) to oxidize 5-methylcytosine. TET2MT thus result in hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. Ascorbic acid (AA) increases dioxygenase activity by facilitating Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox reaction and may alleviate some biological consequences of TET2MT by restoring dioxygenase activity. Here, we report the utility of AA in the prevention of TET2MT myeloid neoplasia (MN), clarify the mechanistic underpinning of the TET2-AA interactions, and demonstrate that the ability of AA to restore TET2 activity in cells depends on N- and C-terminal lysine acetylation and nature of TET2MT. Consequently, pharmacologic modulation of acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases may regulate TET dioxygenase-dependent AA effects. Thus, our study highlights the contribution of factors that may enhance or attenuate AA effects on TET2 and provides a rationale for novel therapeutic approaches including combinations of AA with class I/II HDAC inhibitor or sirtuin activators in TET2MT leukemia. Using TET2- and ascorbic acid deficient model systems Guan et al show that long term treatment with ascorbic acid delays myeloid neoplasia in mice and reveal a complex interplay of post-translational modification of lysine residues that modulate TET2 activity in neoplastic evolution.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) products are relatively stable and abundant metabolites, which accumulate in tissues of mammals with aging, being able to modify all cellular nucleophiles, creating protein and DNA adducts including crosslinks. Here, we used cells and mice deficient in the ERCC1-XPF endonuclease required for nucleotide excision repair and the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks to ask if specifically LPO-induced DNA damage contributes to loss of cell and tissue homeostasis. Ercc1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts were more sensitive than wild-type (WT) cells to the LPO products: 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), crotonaldehyde and malondialdehyde. ERCC1-XPF hypomorphic mice were hypersensitive to CCl4 and a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, two potent inducers of endogenous LPO. To gain insight into the mechanism of how LPO influences DNA repair-deficient cells, we measured the impact of the major endogenous LPO product, HNE, on WT and Ercc1-/- cells. HNE inhibited proliferation, stimulated ROS and LPO formation, induced DNA base damage, strand breaks, error-prone translesion DNA synthesis and cellular senescence much more potently in Ercc1-/- cells than in DNA repair-competent control cells. HNE also deregulated base excision repair and energy production pathways. Our observations that ERCC1-deficient cells and mice are hypersensitive to LPO implicates LPO-induced DNA damage in contributing to cellular demise and tissue degeneration, notably even when the source of LPO is dietary polyunsaturated fats.

Abstract
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is a micronutrient best known for its anti-scurvy activity in humans. Vitamin C is involved in many biological processes involving enzymatic reactions that are catalyzed by members of dioxygenases which use Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate as a co-substrate.The article reviews recent data that suggest the involvement of ascorbate in dioxygenases catalyzed chromatin and DNA modifications which thereby contribute to epigenetic regulation. Concerning chromatin modification, the dioxygenases are involved in distinct demethylation reactions with varying specificity for the position of the lysine on the target histone. TET hydroxylases catalyse the oxidation of methyl groups in the 5 position of cytosine in DNA yielding 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, while further iterative oxidation reactions results in the formation of 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine. A few previous studies demonstrated that ascorbate may enhance generation of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in cultured cells, probably acting as a cofactor of TETs during hydroxylation of 5-methylcytosine. Physiological concentrations of ascorbate in human serum (10-100 μM) may guarantee stable level of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, a modification necessary for epigenetic function of the cell. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine level is substantially decreased in almost all investigated cancers, what may be linked with cancer development. Therefore, it is possible that supplementation with ascorbate could contribute to better management of individual cancer patient. This issue is also discussed in our paper.

Abstract
Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor. Treatment regimens for glioblastoma tumors, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, are very invasive and can only prolong the median patient life to several months. It was shown that 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising and less aggressive adjuvant modality for diagnosis and treatment of glioblastoma.
Limiting point of PDT outcome is appearing of cells with intrinsic or acquired PDT resistance that finally results in repopulating the tumor and short-term survival of glioma patients. Therefore, our study was designed to determine therapy resistance markers in PDT resistant glioblastoma cell line. Potential markers subsequently can be used for sensitization of glioblastoma to PDT.
Glioblastoma (U-87) cell line resistant to PDT (U-87R) was isolated from parental, sensitive line (U-87P) by applying several cycles of ALA-PDT, and further growing of surviving cells. U-87R cells subsequently were characterized from different aspects such as epigenetic markers, cell cycle events, oxidative stress and DNA repair capacity.
Assessment of nucleotide modifications and epigenetic marks in PDT resistant glioblastoma and its parental cell line showed significant higher level of two epigenetic marks including 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) in U-87R compare to U-87P, before and after PDT.
Doubling time of U-87R cells was considerably longer than that of U-87P. Cell cycle analysis showed longer G1 phase in U-87R cells compare to U-87P. Moreover, accumulation in G2 phase following PDT was observed earlier in resistant cells than in parental line. That suggests the role of early activation of DNA damage response in resistant cells. Resistant glioblastoma cells were then sensitized to PDT by applying inhibitor of one of the main kinases of DNA damage response, ATM kinase. In comparison with parental cells, U-87R cells also showed higher activity of some DNA base excision repair (BER) enzymes including glycosylases and AP-endonuclease1 (APE1).
Studies of the whole protein profile of PDT resistant and parental cells demonstrated that the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was considerably higher in U-87R than in U-87P. That data was then confirmed by detecting lower oxidative stress in U-87R following PDT.
PDT resistant glioblastoma cells as a model of resistant cells in glioblastoma tumor population demonstrated the significant role of epigenetic mark profile, cell cycle alteration, higher DNA repair capacity, and antioxidant defense in conferring resistance to photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) is a widely measured biomarker of oxidative stress. It has been commonly assumed to be a product of DNA repair, and therefore reflective of DNA oxidation. However, the source of urinary 8-oxodGuo is not understood, although potential confounding contributions from cell turnover and diet have been ruled out. Clearly it is critical to understand the precise biological origins of this important biomarker, so that the target molecule that is oxidised can be identified, and the significance of its excretion can be interpreted fully. In the present study we aimed to assess the contributions of nucleotide excision repair (NER), by both the global genome NER (GG-NER) and transcription-coupled NER (TC-NER) pathways, and sanitisation of the dGTP pool (e.g. via the activity of the MTH1 protein), on the production of 8-oxodGuo, using selected genetically-modified mice. In xeroderma pigmentosum A (XPA) mice, in which GG-NER and TC-NER are both defective, the urinary 8-oxodGuo data were unequivocal in ruling out a contribution from NER. In line with the XPA data, the production of urinary 8-oxodGuo was not affected in the xeroderma pigmentosum C mice, specifically excluding a role of the GG-NER pathway. The bulk of the literature supports the mechanism that the NER proteins are responsible for removing damage to the transcribed strand of DNA via TC-NER, and on this basis we also examined Cockayne Syndrome mice, which have a functional loss of TC-NER. These mice showed no difference in urinary 8-oxodGuo excretion, compared to wild type, demonstrating that TC-NER does not contribute to urinary 8-oxodGuo levels. These findings call into question whether genomic DNA is the primary source of urinary 8-oxodGuo, which would largely exclude it as a biomarker of DNA oxidation. The urinary 8-oxodGuo levels from the MTH1 mice (both knock-out and hMTH1-Tg) were not significantly different to the wild-type mice. We suggest that these findings are due to redundancy in the process, and that other enzymes substitute for the lack of MTH1, however the present study cannot determine whether or not the 2'-deoxyribonucleotide pool is the source of urinary 8-oxodGuo. On the basis of the above, urinary 8-oxodGuo is most accurately defined as a non-invasive biomarker of oxidative stress, derived from oxidatively generated damage to 2'-deoxyguanosine.

Abstract
The hydrogen bonding patterns of cytosine and its seven C5-modifed analogues paired with canonical guanine were studied using the first principle approach. Both global minima and biologically relevant conformations were studied. The former resulted from full gradient geometry optimizations of hydrogen bonded pairs, while the latter were obtained based on 125 d(GpC) dinucleotides found in the PDB database. The obtained energetic, electronic and structural data lead to the conclusion that the epigenetically relevant modification of cytosine may have serious consequences on hydrogen bonding with guanine. First of all, the significant substituent effects were observed for such trends as charges on sites involved in hydrogen bonding, the total intermolecular interaction energy or electron densities at bond critical points. Moreover, the molecular orbital polarization contribution resulting from energy decomposition expressed in terms of absolutely localized molecular orbitals exhibited an inverse linear correlation with frozen density contributions. A substituent effect on the amount of charge transfer from pyrimidine toward guanine was also observed. The increase of intermolecular interactions of guanine with modified cytosine is associated with the increase of the electro-donating character of the C5-substituent. However, only pairs involving 5-methylcytosine are more stable than those formed by canonical cytosine. Furthermore, the energy differences observed for global minima also remain important for a broad range of displacement and angular parameters defining pair conformations in model d(GpC) dinucleotides. Due to the sensitivities of intermolecular interactions to mutual arrangements of monomers the modification of cytosine at the C5 site can significantly alter the actual energy profiles. Consequently, it may be anticipated that the modified dinucleotides will adopt different conformations than a standard G-C pair in a B-DNA double helix.

Abstract
Iron deficiency is a common health problem. The most severe consequence of this disorder is iron deficiency anemia (IDA), which is considered the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide. Newborn piglets are an ideal model to explore the multifaceted etiology of IDA in mammals, as IDA is the most prevalent deficiency disorder throughout the early postnatal period in this species and frequently develops into a critical illness. Here, we report the very low expression of duodenal iron transporters in pigs during the first days of life. We postulate that this low expression level is why the iron demands of the piglet body are not met by iron absorption during this period. Interestingly, we found that a low level of duodenal divalent metal transporter 1 and ferroportin, two iron transporters located on the apical and basolateral membrane of duodenal absorptive enterocytes, respectively, correlates with abnormally high expression of hepcidin, despite the poor hepatic and overall iron status of these animals. Parenteral iron supplementation by a unique intramuscular administration of large amounts of iron dextran is current practice for the treatment of IDA in piglets. However, the potential toxicity of such supplemental iron implies the necessity for caution when applying this treatment. Here we demonstrate that a modified strategy for iron supplementation of newborn piglets with iron dextran improves the piglets' hematological status, attenuates the induction of hepcidin expression, and minimizes the toxicity of the administered iron.

Abstract
DNA damage and DNA repair may mediate several cellular processes, like replication and transcription, mutagenesis and apoptosis and thus may be important factors in the development and pathology of an organism, including cancer. DNA is constantly damaged by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) directly and also by products of lipid peroxidation (LPO), which form exocyclic adducts to DNA bases. A wide variety of oxidatively-generated DNA lesions are present in living cells. 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoGua) is one of the best known DNA lesions due to its mutagenic properties. Among LPO-derived DNA base modifications the most intensively studied are ethenoadenine and ethenocytosine, highly miscoding DNA lesions considered as markers of oxidative stress and promutagenic DNA damage. Although at present it is impossible to directly answer the question concerning involvement of oxidatively damaged DNA in cancer etiology, it is likely that oxidatively modified DNA bases may serve as a source of mutations that initiate carcinogenesis and are involved in aging (i.e. they may be causal factors responsible for these processes). To counteract the deleterious effect of oxidatively damaged DNA, all organisms have developed several DNA repair mechanisms. The efficiency of oxidatively damaged DNA repair was frequently found to be decreased in cancer patients. The present work reviews the basis for the biological significance of DNA damage, particularly effects of 8-oxoGua and ethenoadduct occurrence in DNA in the aspect of cancer development, drawing attention to the multiplicity of proteins with repair activities.

Abstract
DNA methylation plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Tumor cells are characterized by alterations of DNA methylation pattern, namely local CpG island hypermethylation and genome wide hypomethylation. The hypomethylation of the genome affects many repetitive sequences and transposable elements and is believed to results in chromosomal instability and increased mutations events. In this review we summarize the current knowledge concerning epigenetic mechanisms related to cancer, especially the relationship of DNA hypomethylation to carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Oxidative damage DNA is aninevitable, natural consequence of cellular metabolism resulting from formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including free oxygen radicals. However, the level ofthe damage may increase under conditions of oxidative stress, arising from exposure to a variety of physical or chemical insults. In this review we present the mechanisms by which oxidative damage to DNA may lead to pathological processes involved in the development of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and ageing. Furthermore, we describe mechanisms of DNA repair which play a key role in maintaining cellular function upon DNA insult. Among over 20 identified and described oxidative modifications of DNA bases only one derivative, namely 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), has become a subject of intense research. Therefore, we are presenting methods of 8-oxo-dG detection as a marker of oxidatively damaged DNA.

Abstract
Cytosine methylation is a post-replicative DNA modification associated with transcriptional repression. This process consists in covalent addition of a methyl group to cytosine within the CpG dinucleotide. DNA methylation is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferases which transfer a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to cytosine bases in DNA. Methylation patterns are determined by DNA methyltransferases, but also by the process of DNA demethylation. This review describes biochemical aspects of DNA methylation and demethylation and its role in regulation of genes expression, as well as shows cytosine methylation as promising target for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Uracil may arise in DNA, in small quantities as a result of spontaneous cytosine deamination or/and misincorporation of dUMP during DNA replication. However, just recently uracil formation via enzymatic deamiantion of cytosine, has been found to underlies diversification of Ig genes and inhibition of retroviral infection. DNA deamination is the only known programme in mammalian development in which the coding capacity of the genome is changed by targeted modification of deoxycitidine. In this paper we will review: i/sources of the origin of uracil in DNA, ii/the function of activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) the enzyme which is responsible for cytidine deamination in Ig genes of B cell clones iii/some properties of the enzymes responsible for the excision of uracil. The role of uracil and above mentioned enzymes in Ig diversification process, which comprises somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination will also be discussed. Finally, we will discuss possible involvement of aberrantly expressed AID and presence of uracil in DNA, in carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage and DNA repair may mediate several cellular processes, like replication and transcription, mutagenesis and apoptosis and thus may be important for the organism development as well as its pathogenesis, including cancer. Activity of DNA repair enzymes can depend on many factors, such as gene polymorphism, mRNA and protein level, as well as enzymes activation and inhibition. Modulation of base excision repair pathway eliminating from DNA oxidatively formed lesions may be caused by the diet, inflammation and neoplastic transformation. Reactive oxygen species and some diet components induce transcription of several Base Excision Repair enzymes, e.g. major human AP-endonuclease, (APE1) and 8-oxoG-DNA glycosylase (OGG1). The carcinogenic process in human lung decreases repair activity for 8-oxoGin transcription independent manner, but increases repair activity of epsilon A and epsilon C, as measured in tumors and unchanged lung tissues of lung cancer patients. Thus, modulation of repair enzymes activities may be a cell response on their way to differentiation ot neoplastic transformation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The level of 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), a general marker of oxidative DNA damage, in DNA is the result of both an equilibrium between the rates of its formation and removal from DNA by DNA repair enzymes and the removal of 8-oxodGTP from the cellular nucleotide pool by hydrolysis to 8-oxodGMP, preventing its incorporation into DNA. To determine the contribution of each component to the level of 8-oxoG in DNA, we compared 8-oxoG-excising activity (encoded by hOGG1), 8-oxodGTPase activity (encoded by hMTH1), and 8-oxoG levels in DNA from tumors and surrounding normal lung tissues from non-small-cell lung cancer patients. METHODS We measured the level of 8-oxoG in DNA of 47 patients by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrochemical detection (HPLC/ECD), hOGG1 activity in tissue extracts of 56 patients by the nicking assay using an oligodeoxynucleotide containing a single 8-oxoG, and hMTH1 activity in tissue extracts of 33 patients by HPLC/UV detection. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS The 8-oxoG level was lower in tumor DNA than in DNA from normal lung tissue (geometric mean: 5.81 versus 10.18 8-oxoG/10(6) G, geometric mean of difference = 1.75; P<.001). The hOGG1 activity was also lower in tumor than in normal lung tissue (geometric mean: 8.76 versus 20.91 pmol/h/mg protein, geometric mean of difference = 2.39; P<.001), whereas the hMTH1 activity was higher in tumor than in normal lung tissue (geometric mean: 28.79 versus 8.94 nmol/h/mg protein, geometric mean of difference = 0.31; P<.001). The activity of hMTH1 was three orders of magnitude higher than that of hOGG1 (nanomoles versus picomoles per hour per milligram of protein, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Several different components contribute to the maintenance of 8-oxoG levels in human DNA, with the greatest contributor being the removal of 8-oxodGTP from the cellular nucleotide pool by hMTH1.

Abstract
To assess the role of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, we measured the levels of 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine (epsilonA) and 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine (epsilonC) in the DNA by immunoaffinity/(32)P postlabeling (33 cases). We also measured the capacity for epsilonA and epsilonC repair (by the nicking assay) in normal and tumor lung tissues, as well as in blood leukocytes of lung cancer patients (56 cases). Repair activities for epsilonA and epsilonC were also assayed in leukocytes of healthy volunteers, matched with cancer patients for age, sex, and smoking habit (25 individuals). Up to 10-fold variations among individuals were observed both in adducts level and repair activities. No differences in epsilonA and epsilonC levels between tumor and nonaffected lung tissues were recorded. However, leukocytes accumulated a significantly higher number of DNA adducts than the lung tissues. Repair activities for both epsilonA and epsilonC were significantly higher in tumor than in normal lung tissue. No significant differences in epsilonA and epsilonC repair activities were associated with age, sex, or smoking habit. However, a significant difference in repair capacity was observed between two histological types of lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (SQ) and adenocarcinoma (AD). In individuals suffering from lung AD, epsilonA- and epsilonC-repair activities in normal lung and blood leukocytes were significantly lower than in SQ patients. Moreover, in nonaffected lung tissue of AD patients, the ratio epsilonA/epsilonC adducts was lower than in SQ patients. Differences have also been found between epsilonA and epsilonC repair activities of cancer patients and healthy volunteers. Repair capacity for epsilonA was significantly lower in blood leukocytes of lung cancer patients than in leukocytes of healthy volunteers (P = 0.012). This difference was even larger between healthy volunteers and patients developing inflammation-related AD (P = 0.00033). Repair activities for epsilonC were the same in leukocytes of healthy controls, all lung cancer patients, and SQ patients. However, individuals with ADs revealed significantly lower epsilonC-repair activity (P = 0.013). These results suggest that oxidative stress-mediated lipid peroxidation might contribute to induction and/or progression of lung cancer. Decreased activity of base excision repair pathway for epsilonA and epsilonC is associated particularly with inflammation-related lung AD.

Abstract
Tobacco smoke, recognized as a major etiological factor for cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, represents an abundant source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are believed to play a significant role in mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. An additional source of ROS in tissues exposed to tobacco smoke may be metabolic oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). To investigate the relationships between oxidative DNA lesions and aromatic DNA adducts, six modified DNA bases 5-hydroxyuracil, 5-hydroxycytosine, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine and 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine and the total level of PAH-related DNA adducts were measured in cancerous and the surrounding normal larynx tissues (68 subjects), using gas chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectroscopy with selected ion monitoring and the 32P-postlabeling-HPLC assay, respectively. The levels of oxidative DNA lesions in cancerous and adjacent tissue were comparable; the differences between the two types of tissue were significant only for 5-hydroxypyrimidines (slightly higher levels were observed in the adjacent tissue). Comparable levels of DNA lesions in cancerous and the surrounding normal tissues observed in the larynx tumors support a field cancerization theory. The surrounding tissues may still be recognized as normal by histological criteria. However, molecular alterations resulting from the chronic tobacco smoke exposure, which equally affects larynx epithelia, may lead to multiple premalignant lesions. Thus, a demonstration of similar levels of DNA damage in cancerous and the adjacent tissue could explain a frequent formation of secondary tumors in the larynx and the frequent recurrence in this type of cancer. A weak, but distinct effect of tumor grading and metastatic status was observed in both kinds of tissue in the case of 5-hydroxyuracil, 5-hydroxycytosine, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine. This effect was displayed as a gradual shift in the data distribution toward high values from G1 through G2-G3 and from non-metastatic to metastatic tumors. Since the levels of oxidative DNA base modifications tended to increase with the tumor aggressiveness, we postulate that the oxidative DNA lesions increase genetic instability and thus contribute to tumor progression in laryngeal cancer. No associations between aromatic adduct levels and oxidative DNA lesions were present, suggesting that the metabolism of PAH does not contribute significantly to the oxidative stress in larynx tissues, remaining the tobacco smoke ROS as a major source of oxidative DNA damage in the exposed tissue.

Abstract
Antioxidant vitamins, being effective free radical scavengers, can protect cellular DNA from oxidative damage. Therefore, in the present study we report on the relationship between basal level of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine in human lymphocyte DNA and the concentration of antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E). The average level of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine in lymphocytes of the studied group (15 males and 20 females) was 9.57 per 10(6) dG molecules. The endogenous level of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in the plasma was, on average, 56.78 microM, while the mean concentrations of retinol (vitamin A) and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) were 1.24 uM and 25.74,uM, respectively. No correlations were found between individual 8-oxo-2 micro-deoxyguanosine levels in lymphocyte DNA and endogenous concentration of the vitamins.

Abstract
Hypoxanthine¿xanthine oxidase¿Fe3+¿ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) was used to modify ss M13 mp18 phage DNA. The dominant base modifications found by GC/IDMS-SIM were FapyGua, FapyAde, 8-hydroxyguanine, and thymine glycol. Analysis of in vitro DNA synthesis on oxidatively modified template by three DNA polymerases revealed that T7 DNA polymerase and Klenow fragment of polymerase I from Escherichia coli were blocked mainly by oxidized pyrimidines in the template whereas some purines that were easily bypassed by the prokaryotic polymerases constituted a block for DNA polymerase beta from calf thymus. DNA synthesis by T7 polymerase on poly(dA) template, where FapyAde content increased 16-fold on oxidation, yielded a final product with a discrete ladder of premature termination bands. When DNA synthesis was performed on template from which FapyAde, FapyGua, and 8OHGua were excised by the Fpg protein new chain terminations at adenine and guanine sites appeared or existing ones were enhanced. This suggests that FapyAde, when present in DNA, is a moderately toxic lesion. Its ability to arrest DNA synthesis depends on the sequence context and DNA polymerase. FapyGua might possess similar properties.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the level of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in DNA of Cardamine pratensis plants subjected to different growth conditions trying to answer the question whether factors like light and water accessibility or low temperature may have an impact on the total DNA oxidative damage. The level of this modified nucleoside was determined using HPLC coupled to UV absorbance and electrochemical detection (HPLC-UV-EC). We did not observe any statistically significant differences in 8-oxodG level between DNA of etiolated and light exposed plants as well as between DNA of regularly watered and drought-subjected plants. In contrast, we have shown that chilling (1 degree C for 28 h) brings about the increase of 8-oxodG level in DNA.

Abstract
Gas chromatography/isotope dilution-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring (GC/IDMS-SIM) was used to measure oxidised bases in hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase/Fe3+/EDTA modified ss M13 mp18 phage DNA. A dose-dependent increase of oxidised bases content in DNA was observed with the biggest augmentation of FapyGua, thymine glycol and FapyAde. The amount of 8-OH-Gua was relatively high both in non-oxidised and oxidised DNA, and increased to the same extent as FapyAde and ThyGly. DNA oxidation caused a dramatic decrease in phage survival after transfection to E. coli. Survival was improved 2.8-fold after induction of the SOS system by UV irradiation of bacteria and mutation frequency of the lacZ gene in SOS conditions increased 7-fold over that in non-irradiated bacteria. Spectrum of mutations was different from those reported previously and mutations were distributed rather randomly within M13 lacZ sequence, which was in contrast to previous findings, where with non-chelated metal ions other types of mutations were found in several clusters. Thus, conditions of DNA oxidation and accessibility of metal ions for DNA bases might be important factors for generating different DNA damages and mutations. Major base substitutions found both in SOS-induced and non-induced E. coli but with higher mutation frequency in SOS-induced cells were C-->A (approximately 20-fold increase in SOS-conditions), G-->A (9-fold increase) and G-->C (4.5-fold increase). Very few G-->T transitions were found. A particularly large group of A-->G transitions appeared only in SOS-induced bacteria and was accompanied by augmentation of FapyAde content in the phage DNA with undetectable 2-OH-Ade. It is then possible that imidazole ring-opened adenine mimics guanine during DNA replication and pairs with cytosine yielding A-->G transitions in SOS-induced bacteria.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the level of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in DNA of Cardamine pratensis plants subjected to different growth conditions trying to answer the question whether factors like light and water accessibility or low temperature may have an impact on the total DNA oxidative damage. The level of this modified nucleoside was determined using HPLC coupled to UV absorbance and electrochemical detection (HPLC-UV-EC). We did not observe any statistically significant differences in 8-oxodG level between DNA of etiolated and light exposed plants as well as between DNA of regularly watered and drought-subjected plants. In contrast, we have shown that chilling (1 degree C for 28 h) brings about the increase of 8-oxodG level in DNA.

Abstract
The results of geometry optimisation of possible Watson-Crick-like pairs of 2,6-diamino-4-oxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (fapy-adenine) or 4,6-diamino-5-formamidopyrimidine (fapy-guanine) were presented. In the absence of the external field the fapy-adenine is able to form pairs with all four canonical nucleic acid bases. However, pairs with guanine, cytosine and thymine the most stable are. Thus, the potential miscoding abilities may be observed. In contrast, in the presence of the external field the mispairing abilities of fapy-adenine become insignificant since the most stable dimers are formed with thymine. The pairing properties of fapy-guanine are complex and depend on its tatomeric form. In the absence of an external field the 4-enol-6-keto-diamino tautomer of fapyG is able to form stable dimers with thymine and cytosine, while the 4,6-diketo-diamino tautomer forms the most stable pairs with cytosine and guanine. The presence of the water solvent does not significantly alter the pairing abilities of fapy-guanine. However, pairs with thymine are at least as stable as the Watson-Crick GC pair. Thus, in polar conditions the mispairing potential of fapyG will be extended and may be enriched by potential GC-->AT transition.

Abstract
In the present work, we examined the formation and repair of DNA base damages induced by gamma-irradiation in different fractions of rat hepatic chromatin. Animals were exposed to radiation with the dose of 10 Gy. Nuclear matrix DNA and whole chromatin were isolated from the liver of rats killed before and in different time after irradiation. In those samples the pyrimidine-derived and the purine-derived modified DNA bases were identified and quantitated by gas chromatography/isotope-dilution mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring. We found elevated levels of modified DNA bases over control values after whole body irradiation in both matrix DNA and bulk chromatin samples. Our results suggest that modified bases are preferentially removed from matrix DNA then bulk chromatin.

Abstract
Differential pulse polarography study was used to investigate the influence of glutathion on cis- and trans-DDP induced alterations of DNA structure. Though the applied concentration of glutathion has no effect on the reaction on DNA with cis-DDP, it greatly modifies the reaction with trans isomer. This may be an important reason for the ineffectiveness of the trans-DDP as an antitumor drug.

Abstract
DNA samples isolated from control nuclei and nuclei treated by cis- and trans-diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. There were no changes in Mr when DNA isolated from nuclei treated with trans-DDP was analyzed. Scans of DNA isolated from nuclei treated with cis-DDP revealed significant changes in Mr. This DNA bears, however, no signs of regular fragmentation. The possible involvement of endonuclease activity in the degradation process is discussed.

Abstract
The antisera specific for dehistonized HeLa cell chromatin were obtained by injecting rabbits or goats. Treatment of chromatin with cis-DDP crosslinked the active proteins to DNA thus preventing dissociation of the proteins in a high salt environment. Immunochemical staining of electrophoretically separated chromosomal proteins transferred to nitrocellulose sheets revealed that cis-DDP among others crosslinked the protein with m.w. of about 81 000. This protein is the only major protein antigen presented in several human tumors and absent in normal human tissues.

Abstract
The production of platinated derivatives of nucleic acid bases resulting from the reaction of cis and trans DDP with DNA and chromatin was studied. Bifunctional complex of guanine appeared to be the major product of the interaction of cis isomer with both DNA and chromatin, although other bifunctional adducts of A-Pt-G and A-Pt-A were also isolated. The main product of the interaction of trans DDP with DNA was a monofunctional adduct of guanine. Small amounts of the bifunctional complexes were also isolated. When ssDNA was incubated with trans DDP more bifunctional complexes appeared, what suggests that geometric constrains of double helix prevent formation of these complexes. Trans isomer reacts more easily with chromosomal proteins than cis DDP does. Therefore after the reaction of trans DDP with chromatin less platination occurs on DNA moieties.

Abstract
The method presented here enables the isolation of three monofunctional adducts. These are: platination of cytosine, adenine and guanosine. The three detected bifunctional complexes were: guanine N7 to N7, adenine N7 to N7 and adenine N7 to N1. A mixed bifunctional complex of guanine and adenosine and the product of polymerization of three adenines and two moieties of cis DDP were also detected. In the peak eluted separately from the guanine standard, no Pt was detected. The sample eluted in this peak had UV spectrum different from the standard and may represent the degraded product of guanine and polymerized Pt.

Abstract
Mono- and bifunctional complexes of cis DDP and d-guanosine were isolated on Sephadex G-25. The presence of cysteine in incubation mixture resulted in the vanishing of bifunctional complex of d-guanosine and the appearance of d-guanosine-cis DDP-cysteine complex in the eluted peak. It is also possible that the eluted peak contained no homogeneous product of the reaction.

Abstract
dGMP, dAMP, dCMP and dTMP were incubated with cis PDD in a nucleotide/Pt ratio 1:1 for 72 h. Following hydrolysis, Pt derivatives of the bases were separated on Sephadex G10 columns. dGMP, dAMP and dCMP reacted with cis PDD but only dGMP reacted completely. All the nucleotides mentioned above formed adducts with cis PDD with a metal to ligand ratio 1:1. Moreover an ML2 complex was isolated after the reaction of dGMP with cis PDD. These Pt-base(s) complexes were eluted from the columns in separate peaks. UV spectra of the complexes differed from the standard ones. In some peaks, eluted separately from the standards, no Pt was detected. The samples eluted in these peaks had UV spectra different from the standards. They may represent products of base degradation.

Abstract
Properties of calf thymus DNA were investigated after treatment with the pesticides malathion (0,0-dimethyl-S-(1,2-bis ethoxycarbonyl ethyl)dithiophosphate) and DDVP (0,0-dimethyl-0-(2,2 dichlorovinyl)phosphate) in vitro by means of derivative (differential) pulse polarography (DPP), thermal denaturation curves recorded spectrophotometrically (Tm), viscometric measurements, and chromatography on the hydroxyapatite column. Changes in the properties of DNA were observed by means of DPP after only a few hours incubation with the pesticides, whereas the other methods did not detect any changes even after 48 h. The results obtained by DPP indicate that single-stranded segments and thermolabile regions are formed in DNA due to the action of the pesticides. This behaviour could perhaps be a consequence of guanine alkylation followed by depurination and chain scission at elevated temperatures. Malathion and DDVP differ in the kinetics of reaction with double-helical DNA. DDVP is more reactive and its action is also manifested after 72 h in changes in viscosity, Tm, and chromatographic behaviour on the hydroxyapatite column. The changes induced by malathion were, under identical conditions, not detectable by these methods.
