Abstract

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the potential for (1)O(2) to induce oxidation of cellular DNA. For this purpose cells were incubated in the presence of a water-soluble endoperoxide whose thermal decomposition leads to the formation of singlet oxygen. Thereafter, DNA was extracted and the level of several modified DNA bases was determined by HPLC analysis coupled to a tandem mass spectrometric detection. A significant increase in the level of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine was observed upon incubation of the cells with the chemical generator of (1)O(2), whereas the level of the other DNA bases measured remained unchanged. To demonstrate that singlet oxygen is directly involved in the formation of 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine, the corresponding (18)O-labeled endoperoxide was used. Incubation of the cells with such a generator of (18)O-labeled singlet oxygen results in the formation of (18)O-labeled 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine in the nuclear DNA. This result clearly demonstrates that singlet oxygen, when released within cells, is able to directly oxidize cellular DNA.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
