Discovery of 8-OH-dG and mechanisms of its formation
The formation of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine) by oxygen radicals was first reported in 1984 by Kasai and Nishimura 1, 2. First of all, I would like to mention briefly how it was discovered. In the early 1980s, a study of the mutagens in heated glucose, as a model of cooked foods, was initiated at National Cancer Center Research Institute, Tokyo. It was difficult to isolate mutagens because the mutagenic activity was not very high and the mutagens
Analysis of 8-OH-dG in animal organ DNA after administration of chemical carcinogens
Mutagenesis by 8-OH-dG has been studied by many groups, since DNA containing 8-OH-dG at a specific position can be prepared rather easily as compared to other oxidized base-containing DNA. By an in vitro nucleotide incorporation study using an 8-OH-dG containing template DNA and various polymerases [26]and by in vivo studies of E. coli 27, 28and mammalian cells 29, 30using an 8-OH-dG containing plasmid (shuttle vector), it was found that 8-OH-dG induces mainly GC→TA transversions. These results
Analysis of 8-OH-dG in human samples
Levels of 8-OH-dG have been analyzed in human organ and leucocyte DNA and in urine. More than 40 papers about human samples have been published so far (Table 2) 69, 83, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167. In liver samples from humans with chronic hepatitis, higher levels of 8-OH-dG were detected, suggesting that
Precautions for obtaining reproducible and reliable 8-OH-dG data
Although 8-OH-dG has been analyzed by various methods, such as HPLC-ECD, GCMS, and a nicking assay (quantisation of relaxed form after Fapy glycosylase treatment of mtDNA), the range of the 8-OH-dG levels analyzed differs 10–1000-fold depending on the method used. For example, the summation of the 8-OH-dG and Fapy content of the rat liver mt DNA was determined to be 0.8/105 base pair by the nicking assay [169]. However, it was 25/105 base pair by the HPLC-ECD method [170]. By the GCMS method,
Increase in 8-OH-dG repair activity by cellular oxidative stress
Although the analysis of 8-OH-dG is a good tool to estimate cellular oxidative stress, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that 8-OH-dG is partly produced as an artifact. To confirm that the increased 8-OH-dG levels really represent the oxidative stress in living cells, it is important to use another biological marker. The assay of 8-OH-dG repair activity would be a good candidate as an indicator of cellular oxidative stress, because it has been reported that 8-OH-dG repair activity
Search for other forms of oxidative DNA damage
It is true that 8-OH-dG is one of the major forms of oxidative DNA damage and a useful marker of cellular oxidative stress [178]. However, dozens of different forms of DNA damage are known to be produced in vitro by oxygen radicals 179, 180. Therefore, we should make efforts to search for other important types of DNA damage relevant to carcinogenesis. Among them, 5-hydroxy-2′-cytosine is an interesting form of oxidative DNA damage, because it is known to induce CG→TA mutations with high
