Abstract

The measurement of oxidative damage to cellular DNA is a challenging analytical problem requiring highly sensitive and specific methods. In addition, artefactual DNA oxidation during its extraction and subsequent work-up may give rise to overestimated levels of oxidized DNA bases. In the present study, we have used (18)O-labelled 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) as an internal standard to evaluate the extent of artefactual DNA oxidation during the critical steps preceding the measurement. The labelled oxidized purine nucleoside was specifically generated in cellular DNA using the recently available generator of (18)O-labelled singlet oxygen. Artefactual DNA oxidation that could take place during the work-up increases the level of 8-oxodGuo but not of the (18)O-oxidized nucleoside. Therefore, the ratio between the two compounds, as measured by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, allows an unambiguous comparison of different methodologies. The comparison of different DNA extraction protocols led to the conclusion that artefactual DNA oxidation during the extraction step could be minimized if: (i) nuclei are isolated after cell lysis; (ii) desferrioxamine, a transition metal chelator is added to the different extraction buffers; and (iii) sodium iodide (or alternatively guanidine thiocyanate) is used for DNA precipitation. It was also demonstrated that sodium iodide does not decompose the targeted oxidized purine nucleoside. In addition, three different DNA digestion protocols were evaluated and they were found to give rise to similar results. Using the best-studied protocol, the steady-state cellular background level of 8-oxodGuo, in a lymphocyte cell line, was determined to be approximately 0.5 lesions/10(6) DNA nucleosides.

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.
