An important emerging issue in chemical carcinogenesis is the role that products of endogenous metabolism play in formation of covalently modified DNA. One example is the formation of alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehydes as a result of endogenous and drug-stimulated lipid peroxidation. Malondialdehyde (MDA), crotonaldehyde (CR), 2-hexenal (HX), and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) react covalently with 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) and 2'-deoxyadenosine (dA) residues on DNA to form promutagenic cyclic adducts that may be important in the etiology of cancer in humans and animals. The accurate quantification of such adducts provides a powerful tool in molecular epidemiology for assessing carcinogenic risks from various lifestyle choices (e.g. diet, drug use) in humans. 32P-Postlabeling is recognized as one of the most sensitive methods available for detection of DNA adducts in human tissues, but without adequate validation such methodology can yield inaccurate quantitative measurements. We have used LC separations in conjunction with electrospray ionization MS and tandem MS (triple quadrupole and hybrid quadrupole-orthogonal acceleration time of flight analyzers) to characterize MDA-, CR-, HX- and HNE-modified dG and nucleotide (3'- and 5'-monophosphate; 3',5'-bisphosphate) adducts. These data have been used to validate 32P-postlabeling methods for quantification of low level MDA-dG adducts formed in DNA of human and animal tissues. Availability of reliable methods for quantification of endogenous DNA damage in humans and animals is essential for determining unknown etiologies of cancer and for the assessment of cancer risks in humans.
