Oxidation of Guanine in Cellular DNA by Solar UV Radiation: Biological Role†
Abstract
Abstract. The formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and 8‐oxo‐7,8‐dihydro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8‐oxodGuo) was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary cells upon exposure to either UVC, UVB, UVA or simulated sunlight (SSL). Two cell lines were used, namely AT3‐2 and UVL9, the latter being deficient in nucleotide excision repair and consequently UV sensitive. For all types of radiation, including UVA, CPD were found to be the predominant lesions quantitatively. At the biologically relevant doses used, UVC, UVB and SSL irradiation yielded 8‐oxodGuo at a rather low level, whereas UVA radiation produced relatively higher amounts. The formation of CPD was 10 2 and 10 2 more effective upon UVC than UVB and UVA exposure. These yields of formation followed DNA absorption, even in the UVA range. The calculated relative spectral effectiveness in the production of the two lesions showed that efficient induction of 8‐oxodGuo upon UVA irradiation was shifted toward longer wavelengths, in comparison with those for CPD formation, in agreement with a photosensitization mechanism. In addition, after exposure to SSL, about 19% and 20% of 8‐oxodGuo were produced between 290–320 nm and 320–340 nm, respectively, whereas CPD were essentially (90%) induced in the UVB region. However, the ratio of CPD to 8‐oxodGuo greatly differed from one source of light to the other: it was over 100 for UVB but only a few units for UVA source. The extent of 8‐oxodGuo and CPD was also compared to the lethality for the different types of radiation. The involvement of 8‐oxodGuo in cell killing by solar UV radiation was clearly ruled out. In addition, our previously reported mutation

8-oxoGua is generated in significant yields upon UVA exposure of cultured cells and skin.
“A much more common biomarker of oxidatively generated damage to DNA is 8-oxoGua that has been found to be generated in significant yields upon exposure of cultured cells (85,112,113) and skin (61) to UVA radiation.”

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.
