8-Hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) is a promutagenic lesion in DNA caused by reactive oxygen species. It normally exists at a level of 0.1–1 per 105 2′-deoxyguanosines (dG). To analyze the lesion in easily obtainable biological samples, a very sensitive analytical method is required. The method should also handle the problem with potential oxidation of dG to 8-OH-dG during workup and analysis. 32P-postlabeling high-performance liquid chromatography (32P-HPLC) is an analytical method previously used to analyze lipophilic DNA adducts at levels as low as 1 per 109 normal nucleotides when analyzing microgram amounts of DNA. This method was adapted for analysis of 8-OH-dG. The aim was to develop an analytical method that provided a high sensitivity and good reproducibility, prevented oxidation of dG present in samples to 8-OH-dG, was capable of analyzing DNA from very small samples and still offered high sample throughput and ease of use. In analysis of calf thymus DNA, the method had a detection limit of 0.1 8-OH-dG per 105 dG when 1 μg of DNA was used. The standard deviation of repeated analyses of the same sample was ±10% and the result corresponded well with the established analytical method using HPLC with electrochemical detection. 32P-HPLC is sensitive enough to enable analysis of low levels of 8-OH-dG in biological samples such as small volumes of blood, needle biopsies and tissue swabs. It also substantially reduces oxidation of dG to 8-OH-dG during sample workup and analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
