The measurement of DNA adducts is a useful indicator for environmental carcinogen exposure monitoring. To clarify the effect of metabolic activation and DNA repair system on the inter-individual variation of DNA adduct levels, aromatic DNA adducts and mRNA expression of metabolic and repair enzymes were measured in 43 human lymphocytes. Aromatic DNA adducts were measured by the nuclease P1 postlabelling method. The metabolic activation enzyme; cytochrome P4501A1 (CYPIA1), and the repair enzyme; excision repair cross complimenting gene (ERCC1), and the xeroderma pigmentosum C group cell gene (XPCC), mRNA expression were measured by the reverse transcription-PCR method. The mean adduct levels were 1.01 ± 0.49 in 43 subjects. There was a positive correlation between DNA adducts and CYP1A1 mRNA (r = 0.33, p = 0.12). DNA adduct levels had a positive correlation with ERCC1 (r = 0.35, p = 0.03) and a negative correlation with XPCC mRNA levels (r = -0.28, p = 0.07). We found Brinkman index, CYP1A1 genotypes, CYP1A1 mRNA and XPCC mRNA as a predictor for log DNA adduct levels in multivariate analysis. Metabolic activation and the repair system may explain the inter-individual variation of DNA adducts in lymphocytes.

Genotoxic estrogen metabolites generate various DNA lesions; however, their target genes and carcinogenic mechanisms remain unexplored. Here, genome-wide sequencing using click probe enrichment coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (Click-Probe-Seq/LC-MS) is developed to identify damaged genes and characterize the released and stable adducts induced by 4-hydroxy-17β-estradiol (4OHE2) in MCF-7 cell chromatin. The data reveal that guanine nucleobases in the GC-rich transcription-relevant domain are the main target sites.

Abasic, or apurinic/apyrimidinic sites (AP sites) are among the most abundant DNA lesions, appearing in DNA both through spontaneous base loss and as intermediates of base excision DNA repair. Natural aldehydic AP sites have been known for decades and their interaction with the cellular replication, transcription and repair machinery has been investigated in detail. Oxidized AP sites, produced by free radical attack on intact nucleotides, received much attention recently due to their ability to trap DNA repair enzymes and chromatin structural proteins such as histones.

Certain environmental toxins and chemotherapeutics are nucleic acid-damaging agents, causing adducts in DNA and RNA. While most of these adducts occur in RNA, the consequences of RNA damage are largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that nuclear RNA damage can result in loss of genome integrity in human cells.

DNA adducts are central in the carcinogenic process because they can cause miscoding leading to permanent mutations in important genes involved in carcinogenesis. While it is known that tobacco smoking leads to increased levels of multiple DNA adducts, most DNA adducts detected to date in humans cannot be explicitly attributed to smoking but instead have various possible exogenous and endogenous sources. We plan to probe the tobacco source of DNA adducts by providing carbon-13 labelled ([13C]-labelled) cigarettes to smokers and analyzing [13C]-labelled DNA adducts in their oral cells to determine which adducts arise from smoking.

Components in tobacco smoke and electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) aerosol form adducts with DNA, which can cause DNA mutations and affect repair of DNA damage. Numerous studies have shown a strong association between inhaled smoke and lung cancer. The presence of DNA adducts can indicate chemical components of smoke.
