Abstract
Etheno (and ethano) derivatives of nucleic acid bases have an extra 5-membered ring attached. These were first noted as wyosine bases in tRNAs. Some were fluorescent, and the development of etheno derivatives of adenosine, cytosine, and guanosine led to the synthesis of fluorescent analogs of ATP, NAD+, and other cofactors for use in biochemical studies. Early studies with the carcinogen vinyl chloride revealed that these modified bases were being formed in DNA and RNA and might be responsible for mutations and cancer. The etheno bases are also derived from other carcinogenic vinyl monomers. Further work showed that endogenous etheno DNA adducts were present in animals and humans and are derived from lipid peroxidation. The chemical mechanisms of etheno adduct formation involve reactions with bis-electrophiles generated by cytochrome P450 enzymes or lipid peroxidation, which have been established in isotopic labeling studies. The mechanisms by which etheno DNA adducts miscode have been studied with several DNA polymerases, aided by the X-ray crystal structures of these polymerases in mispairing situations and in extension beyond mispairs. Repair of etheno DNA adduct damage is done primarily by glycosylases and also by the direct action of dioxygenases. Some human DNA polymerases (η, κ) can insert bases opposite etheno adducts in DNA and RNA, and the reverse transcriptase activity may be of relevance with the RNA etheno adducts. Further questions involve the extent that the etheno adducts contribute to human cancer.

Abstract
Hazardous chemicals in the environment and diet or their electrophilic metabolites can form adducts with genomic DNA, which can lead to mutations and the initiation of cancer. In addition, reactive intermediates can be generated in the body through oxidative stress and damage the genome. The identification and measurement of DNA adducts are required for understanding exposure and the causal role of a genotoxic chemical in cancer risk. Over the past three decades, 32 P-postlabeling, immunoassays, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) methods have been established to assess exposures to chemicals through measurements of DNA adducts. It is now possible to measure some DNA adducts in human biopsy samples, by LC/MS, with as little as several milligrams of tissue. In this review article, we highlight the formation and biological effects of DNA adducts, and highlight our advances in human biomonitoring by mass spectrometric analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, untapped biospecimens for carcinogen DNA adduct biomarker research.

Abstract
Exocyclic adducts to DNA bases are formed as a consequence of exposure to certain environmental carcinogens as well as inflammation and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Complex family of LPO products gives rise to a variety of DNA adducts, which can be grouped in two classes: (i) small etheno-type adducts of strong mutagenic potential, and (ii) bulky, propano-type adducts, which block replication and transcription, and are lethal lesions. Etheno-DNA adducts are removed from the DNA by base excision repair (BER), AlkB and nucleotide incision repair enzymes (NIR), while substituted propano-type lesions by nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous recombination (HR). Changes of the level and activity of several enzymes removing exocyclic adducts from the DNA was reported during carcinogenesis. Also several beyond repair functions of these enzymes, which participate in regulation of cell proliferation and growth, as well as RNA processing was recently described. In addition, adducts of LPO products to proteins was reported during aging and age-related diseases. The paper summarizes pathways for exocyclic adducts removal and describes how proteins involved in repair of these adducts can modify pathological states of the organism.

Abstract
This review presents synthesis and chemistry of nucleoside analogs, possessing an additional fused, heterocyclic ring of the "etheno" type, such as 1,N(6)-ethenoadenosine, 1,N(4)-ethenocytidine, 1,N(2)-ethenoguanosine, and other related derivatives. Formation of ethenonucleosides, in the presence of α-halocarbonyl reagents and their mechanism, stability, and degradation, reactions of substitution and transglycosylation, as well as their application in the nucleoside synthesis, have been described. Some of the discussed compounds may be applied as chemotherapeutic agents in antiviral and anticancer treatment, acting as pro-nucleosides of already known, biologically active nucleoside analogs.

Abstract
Etheno DNA adducts are a prevalent type of DNA damage caused by vinyl chloride (VC) exposure and oxidative stress. Etheno adducts are mutagenic and may contribute to the initiation of several pathologies; thus, elucidating the pathways by which they induce cellular transformation is critical. Although N(2),3-ethenoguanine (N(2),3-εG) is the most abundant etheno adduct, its biological consequences have not been well characterized in cells due to its labile glycosidic bond. Here, a stabilized 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyribose analog of N(2),3-εG was used to quantify directly its genotoxicity and mutagenicity. A multiplex method involving next-generation sequencing enabled a large-scale in vivo analysis, in which both N(2),3-εG and its isomer 1,N(2)-ethenoguanine (1,N(2)-εG) were evaluated in various repair and replication backgrounds. We found that N(2),3-εG potently induces G to A transitions, the same mutation previously observed in VC-associated tumors. By contrast, 1,N(2)-εG induces various substitutions and frameshifts. We also found that N(2),3-εG is the only etheno lesion that cannot be repaired by AlkB, which partially explains its persistence. Both εG lesions are strong replication blocks and DinB, a translesion polymerase, facilitates the mutagenic bypass of both lesions. Collectively, our results indicate that N(2),3-εG is a biologically important lesion and may have a functional role in VC-induced or inflammation-driven carcinogenesis.

Abstract
N(2),3-Ethenoguanine (N(2),3-εG) is one of the exocyclic DNA adducts produced by endogenous processes (e.g. lipid peroxidation) and exposure to bioactivated vinyl monomers such as vinyl chloride, which is a known human carcinogen. Existing studies exploring the miscoding potential of this lesion are quite indirect because of the lability of the glycosidic bond. We utilized a 2'-fluoro isostere approach to stabilize this lesion and synthesized oligonucleotides containing 2'-fluoro-N(2),3-ε-2'-deoxyarabinoguanosine to investigate the miscoding potential of N(2),3-εG by Y-family human DNA polymerases (pols). In primer extension assays, pol η and pol κ replicated through N(2),3-εG, whereas pol ι and REV1 yielded only 1-base incorporation. Steady-state kinetics revealed that dCTP incorporation is preferred opposite N(2),3-εG with relative efficiencies in the order of pol κ > REV1 > pol η ≈ pol ι, and dTTP misincorporation is the major miscoding event by all four Y-family human DNA pols. Pol ι had the highest dTTP misincorporation frequency (0.71) followed by pol η (0.63). REV1 misincorporated dTTP and dGTP with much lower frequencies. Crystal structures of pol ι with N(2),3-εG paired to dCTP and dTTP revealed Hoogsteen-like base pairing mechanisms. Two hydrogen bonds were observed in the N(2),3-εG:dCTP base pair, whereas only one appears to be present in the case of the N(2),3-εG:dTTP pair. Base pairing mechanisms derived from the crystal structures explain the slightly favored dCTP insertion for pol ι in steady-state kinetic analysis. Taken together, these results provide a basis for the mutagenic potential of N(2),3-εG.

Five-membered exocyclic DNA adducts are biologically very significant because of their potential to block DNA replication and transcription. N(2),3-Ethenoguanine (N(2,3)-εG) has been identified in the liver DNA of vinyl chloride-exposed rats as a five-membered DNA adduct. Singer et al. ( Carcinogenesis 1987 , 8 , 745 - 747 ) reported that the misincorporation of thymine (T), with two hydrogen bonds to N(2,3)-εG, represents the mutagenic event. Although the base-pairing specificity and mode of misincorporation have been studied experimentally for the N(2),3-ethenoguanine adduct, molecular-level information is not yet clear. In this study, we have considered all four different DNA nucleotides paired with the N(2),3-ethenoguanine adduct for model calculations toward the determination of base-pairing specificity. To provide insight into the mutagenic process of DNA damage based on geometric characteristics and electronic properties, the B3LYP and M06 methods were employed for these model calculations. Single-point energy calculations at the MP2/6-311++G** level on the corresponding optimized geometries were also carried out to better estimate the hydrogen-bonding strengths. The polarizable conductor calculation model (CPCM), which accounts for the overall polarizability of the solvent, was also employed. The computed reaction enthalpy values lie in the order εG-G(2) (10.3 kcal/mol) > εG-G(4) (9.6 kcal/mol) > εG-T(4) (9.2 kcal/mol) > εG-G(1) (9.1 kcal/mol) > εG-A(5) (8.2 kcal/mol) > εG-C(2) (7.9 kcal/mol) at the M06 level, which indicates that guanine and thymine are most favorable for mispairing with the N(2),3-ethenoguanine adduct.

Abstract
In the 1970s, exposure to vinyl chloride (VC) was shown to cause liver angiosarcoma in VC workers. We have developed a new LC-MS/MS method for analyzing the promutagenic DNA adduct N(2),3-ethenoguanine (εG) and have applied this to DNA from tissues of both adult and weanling rats exposed to 1100 ppm [(13)C(2)]-VC for 5 days or 1100 ppm VC for 1 day. This assay utilizes neutral thermal hydrolysis and an HPLC cleanup prior to quantitation by LC-MS/MS. The number of endogenous and exogenous εG adducts in DNA from tissues of adult rats exposed to [(13)C(2)]-VC for 5 days was 4.1 ± 2.8 adducts/10(8) guanine of endogenous and 19.0 ± 4.9 adducts/10(8) guanine of exogenous εG in the liver, 8.4 ± 2.8 adducts/10(8) guanine of endogenous and 7.4 ± 0.5 adducts/10(8) guanine of exogenous εG in the lung, and 5.9 ± 3.3 adducts/10(8) guanine of endogenous and 5.7 ± 2.1 adducts/10(8) guanine of exogenous εG in the kidney (n = 4). Additionally, the data from weanling rats demonstrated higher numbers of exogenous εG, with ∼4-fold higher amounts in the liver DNA of weanlings (75.9 ± 17.9 adducts/10(8) guanine) in comparison to adult rats and ∼2-fold higher amounts in the lung (15.8 ± 3.6 adducts/10(8) guanine) and kidney (12.9 ± 0.4 adducts/10(8) guanine) (n = 8). The use of stable isotope labeled VC permitted accurate estimates of the half-life of εG for the first time by comparing [(13)C(2)]-εG in adult rats with identically exposed animals euthanized 2, 4, or 8 weeks later. The half-life of εG was found to be 150 days in the liver and lung and 75 days in the kidney, suggesting little or no active repair of this promutagenic adduct.

Abstract
Etheno (epsilon) adducts are formed in reaction of DNA bases with various environmental carcinogens and endogenously created products of lipid peroxidation. Chloroacetaldehyde (CAA), a metabolite of carcinogen vinyl chloride, is routinely used to generate epsilon-adducts. We studied the role of AlkB, along with AlkA and Mug proteins, all engaged in repair of epsilon-adducts, in CAA-induced mutagenesis. The test system used involved pIF102 and pIF104 plasmids bearing the lactose operon of CC102 or CC104 origin (Cupples and Miller (1989) [17]) which allowed to monitor Lac(+) revertants, the latter arose by GC-->AT or GC-->TA substitutions, respectively, as a result of modification of guanine and cytosine. The plasmids were CAA-damaged in vitro and replicated in Escherichia coli of various genetic backgrounds. To modify the levels of AlkA and AlkB proteins, mutagenesis was studied in E. coli cells induced or not in adaptive response. Formation of varepsilonC proceeds via a relatively stable intermediate, 3,N(4)-alpha-hydroxyethanocytosine (HEC), which allowed to compare repair of both adducts. The results indicate that all three genes, alkA, alkB and microg, are engaged in alleviation of CAA-induced mutagenesis. The frequency of mutation was higher in AlkA-, AlkB- and Mug-deficient strains in comparison to alkA(+), alkB(+), and microg(+) controls. Considering the levels of CAA-induced Lac(+) revertants in strains harboring the pIF plasmids and induced or not in adaptive response, we conclude that AlkB protein is engaged in the repair of epsilonC and HEC in vivo. Using the modified TTCTT 5-mers as substrates, we confirmed in vitro that AlkB protein repairs epsilonC and HEC although far less efficiently than the reference adduct 3-methylcytosine. The pH optimum for repair of HEC and epsilonC is significantly different from that for 3-methylcytosine. We propose that the protonated form of adduct interact in active site of AlkB protein.

Abstract
The carcinogenicity of vinyl chloride in humans was recognized in 1974 based on observations of hepatic angiosarcomas in highly exposed workers. A multiplicity of endpoints has been demonstrated. The primary target organ, the liver, displays differential susceptibilities of hepatocytes and sinusoidal cells, which are modified by factors of age and dose. There is consistency in organotropism between experimental animals and humans. Vinyl chloride is a pluripotent carcinogen, predominantly directed toward hepatic endothelial (sinusoidal) cells, and second toward the parenchymal cells of the liver. The similarity of results between experimental animals and humans is a solid basis of an amalgamation of experimental and epidemiological risk estimates. Vinyl chloride requires metabolic activation for carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, and toxicokinetics are a key to interpret the dose response. Practically the entire initial metabolism of vinyl chloride is oxidative. At higher exposure concentrations this is nonlinear, and metabolic saturation of metabolism in rats is reached at about 250 ppm. This is consistent with the plateau of hepatic angiosarcoma incidence in rat bioassays. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic/toxicokinetic (PBPK) models have been developed and successfully applied within the frame of human cancer risk assessments. The major DNA adduct induced by vinyl chloride (approximately 98% of total adducts in rats), 7-(2-oxoethyl)guanine, is almost devoid of promutagenic activity. The clearly promutagenic "etheno" adducts N2,3-ethenoguanine and 3,N4-ethenocytosine each represent approximately 1% of the vinyl chloride DNA adducts in rats, and 1,N6-ethenoadenine is found at even lower concentrations. Etheno adducts appear to have a long persistence and are repaired by glycosylases. Vinyl chloride represents a human carcinogen for which a series of mechanistic events connects exposure with the carcinogenic outcome. These include (1) metabolic activation (to form chloroethylene oxide), (2) DNA binding of the reactive metabolite (to exocyclic etheno adducts), (3) promutagenicity of these adducts, and (4) effects of such mutations on protooncogenes/tumor suppressor genes at the gene and gene product levels. In rat hepatocytes, a further event is a biomarker response. Cancer prestages (enzyme-altered foci), as quantitative biomarkers, provide a tool to study dose response even within low dose ranges where a carcinogenic risk cannot be seen in cancer bioassays directly. Such biomarker responses support a linear nonthreshold extrapolation for low-dose assessment of carcinogenic risks due to vinyl chloride. Published risk estimates based on different sets of data (animal experiments, epidemiological studies) appear basically consistent, and on this basis an angiosarcoma risk of approximately 3 x 10(-4) has been deduced by extrapolation, for exposure to 1 ppm vinyl chloride over an entire human working lifetime. An important point that should be considered in regulatory standard settings is the presence of a physiological background of those etheno DNA adducts, which are also produced by vinyl chloride. Likely reasons for this background are oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In essence, fundamentals of the hepatocarcinogenicity of vinyl chloride appear now well established, providing a solid scientific basis for regulatory activities.

Abstract
Vinyl chloride induces hepatic angiosarcomas, which are otherwise rare malignancies. The biochemical basis involves the formation of the epoxide, which reacts with DNA to give approximately 98% of the 7-(2-oxoethyl) adduct (4) of dGuo plus small amounts of the etheno derivatives of dGuo, dCyd, and dAdo. The carcinogenicity is generally ascribed to the etheno adducts, not 4, because 4 has been shown to disappear from cells rapidly and to have negligible mutagenicity, which argues against its biological importance, whereas etheno adducts are both persistent and mutagenic. It has also been shown that apurinic sites derived from 4 are unlikely to be crucial lesions. A confounding factor with regard to the etheno hypothesis is that etheno adducts arise in unexposed cells by reactions of various lipid peroxidation products. The present study explores the possibility that a major contributor to the carcinogenicity of vinyl chloride may be formamidopyrimidine (FAPy) 12, N-[2-amino-6-[(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-5-pyrimidinyl]-N-(2-oxoethyl)-formamide, which can arise by ring opening of 4, although its formation has not been observed until the present study. N7 adduct 4 undergoes deglycosylation to give 7-(2-oxoethyl)-Gua (13) in acid and imidazolium ring-opening to 12 in base. At pH 7.4, both processes occur with the formation of 12 representing approximately 10% of the product mixture. FAPy 12 spontaneously cyclizes to 22, which upon mild acid treatment yields the deglycosylation product 2-amino-3,4,7,8-tetrahydro-7-hydroxy-4-oxopteridine-5(6H)-carbaldehyde (14). The structure of 14 has been established by NMR and mass spectroscopy and by independent synthesis. Reaction of the epoxide of crotonaldehyde with dGuo failed to give either 13 or 14, indicating that both compounds are unique products of the reactions of dGuo with the epoxides of vinyl monomers. Although FAPy 12 was found to be unstable, carbinolamine 22 arising from cyclization of 12 may be an important contributor to the carcinogenicity of vinyl chloride.

Abstract
A novel series of tricyclic, etheno-bridged purine analogs was sythesized from 2-amino-6-(substituted amino)-9-methylpurines by cyclization with chloroacetaldehyde, with particular focus on the regioselectivity of the cyclization reaction and fluorescence properties. The analogs as well as the starting purines were alkylated with iodomethane, affording a new class of quaternary salts with potential biological activity. Neither significant fluorescence nor cytostatic effect was found.

Abstract
Reactions of 9-ethylguanine, 2'-deoxyguanosine and guanosine with bromomalondialdehyde in aqueous buffers over a wide pH-range were studied. The main products were isolated and characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR and mass spectroscopy. The final products formed under acidic and basic conditions were different, but they shared the common feature of being derived from glyoxal. Among the 1 : 1 adducts, 1,N(2)-(trans-1,2-dihydroxyethano)guanine adduct (6) predominated at pH < 6 and N(2)-carboxymethylguanine adduct (10a,b) at pH > 7. In addition to these, an N(2)-(4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)methylene adduct (11a,b) and an N(2)-carboxymethyl-1,N(2)-(trans-1,2-dihydroxyethano)guanine adduct (12) were obtained at pH 10. The results of kinetic experiments suggest that bromomalondialdehyde is significantly decomposed to formic acid and glycolaldehyde under the conditions required to obtain guanine adducts. Glycolaldehyde is oxidized to glyoxal, which then modifies the guanine base more readily than bromomalondialdehyde. Besides the glyoxal-derived adducts, 1,N(2)-ethenoguanine (5a-c) and N(2),3-ethenoguanine adducts (4a-c) were formed as minor products, and a transient accumulation of two unstable intermediates, tentatively identified as 1,N(2)-(1,2,2,3-tetrahydroxypropano)(8) and 1,N(2)-(2-formyl-1,2,3-trihydroxypropano)(9) adducts, was observed.

Abstract
Several chemical carcinogens, such as vinyl chloride and ethyl carbamate, can react with DNA to form etheno-adducts in vitro and in vivo, which can be repaired through the base excision repair pathway, and then excreted with the urine. A specific and sensitive method, based on high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, was developed for the detection of ethenoguanines (1,N2-ethenoguanine and its isomer N2,3 ethenoguanine) in urine. Urine samples were obtained from 13 healthy subjects not occupationally exposed to industrial chemicals. A confirmatory GC/MS method was also applied. Ethenoguanine isomers excreted with the urine were in the low nmol/l range (<0.3-8 nmol/l). Since occupational exposure to chemicals that may form etheno-adducts can be ruled out, endogenously produced intermediates, such as 2,3-epoxy-4-hydroxynonanal, may be responsible for the formation of etheno-adducts in human DNA. The background level of the general population has to be taken into account, especially in the investigation of persons occupationally exposed to etheno-adduct forming chemicals.

Abstract
Vinyl chloride (VC) is a trans-species carcinogen, producing tumors in a variety of tissues, from both inhalation and oral exposures, across a number of species. In particular, exposure to VC has been associated with a rare tumor, liver angiosarcoma, in a large number of studies in mice, rats, and humans. The mode of action for the carcinogenicity of VC appears to be a relatively straightforward example of DNA adduct formation by a reactive metabolite, leading to mutation, mistranscription, and neoplasia. The objective of the present analysis was to investigate the comparative potency of a classic genotoxic carcinogen across species, by performing a quantitative comparison of the carcinogenic potency of VC using data from inhalation and oral rodent bioassays as well as from human epidemiological studies. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for VC was developed to support the target tissue dosimetry for the cancer risk assessment. Unlike previous models, the initial metabolism of VC was described as occurring via two saturable pathways, one representing low capacity-high affinity oxidation by CYP2E1 and the other (in the rodent) representing higher capacity-lower affinity oxidation by other isozymes of P450, producing in both cases chloroethylene oxide (CEO) and chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) as intermediate reactive products. Depletion of glutathione by reaction with CEO and CAA was also described. Animal-based risk estimates for human inhalation exposure to VC using total metabolism estimates from the PBPK model were consistent with risk estimates based on human epidemiological data, and were lower than those currently used in environmental decision-making by a factor of 80.

Abstract
The ability to repair promutagenic damage resulting from exposure to carcinogens is a critical factor in determining quantitative relationships in carcinogenesis, including the target cell for neoplasia. One major pathway for the repair of alkylating agent-induced DNA damage involves removal of alkylated bases by N-methylpurine-DNA-glycosylase (MPG), the first enzyme in base excision repair. We have measured the expression level of MPG mRNA in liver, lung, and kidney of Sprague-Dawley rats as a function of age. A quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) method was used to measure cellular MPG mRNA. MPG mRNA was readily detectable in each tissue analyzed and the age-dependent and tissue specific expressions were not statistically different. The lowest amount of mRNA was measured in preweanling liver and the highest amounts were found in preweanling lung and kidney. Since MPG is reported to be responsible for excision of 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine and N(2),3-ethenoguanine, two promutagenic DNA adducts of vinyl chloride (VC) and vinyl fluoride (VF), we examined the regulation of this enzyme after carcinogen exposure. Expression of MPG was induced in rat liver by these carcinogens. In order to determine the repair capacity in different cell populations of liver, we measured MPG gene expression in isolated hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells (NPC). The amount of MPG mRNA was 4.5-5 times higher in hepatocytes than in NPC of control rats. Induction of MPG expression was observed in hepatocytes of VF exposed-rats but not in NPC. The expression of MPG in NPC was only 15% of that of the hepatocytes from exposed rats. Western blots of MPG protein confirmed the cell type differences, but did not show increased protein in exposed vs. control liver and hepatocytes. Since metabolism of VC and VF requires CYP2E1, an enzyme exhibiting much greater activity in hepatocytes, formation of etheno adducts preferentially occurs in hepatocytes. These data suggest that cellular differences in the repair of N-alkylpurines may be a critical mechanism in the development of cell specificity in VC carcinogenesis.

Abstract
During the past 25 years, ethenobases have emerged as a new class of DNA lesions with promutagenic potential. Ethenobases were first investigated as DNA reaction products of vinyl chloride, an occupational carcinogen causing angiosarcoma of the liver (ASL). They were subsequently shown to be formed by several carcinogenic agents, including urethane (ethyl carbamate), and more recently, to occur in various tissues of unexposed humans and rodents. The endogenous source of ethenobases in DNA is thought to be a lipid peroxidation (LPO) product. Initial studies on metabolic activation, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity moved to the analyses of the formation of ethenobases in vivo and to the determination of their promutagenic properties. Quantification of etheno adducts in vivo became possible with the development of ultrasensitive techniques of analysis. To study the miscoding properties of ethenobases, the initial assays on the fidelity of replication or of transcription were replaced by site-directed mutagenesis assays in vivo. Ethenobases generate mainly base pair substitution mutations. With the advent of new techniques of molecular biology, mutations were investigated in the ras and p53 genes of tumors induced by vinyl chloride and urethane. In liver tumors induced by vinyl chloride, specific mutational patterns were found in the Ki-ras gene in human ASL, in the Ha-ras gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in rats, and in the p53 gene in human and rat ASL. In tumors induced by urethane in mice, codon 61 of the Ha-ras gene (liver, skin) and of the Ki-ras gene (lung) seems to be a characteristic target. These tumor mutation spectra are compatible with the promutagenic properties of etheno adducts and with their formation in target tissues, suggesting that ethenobases can be initiating lesions in carcinogenesis. Another recent focus has been given to the repair of etheno adducts, and DNA glycosylases able to excise these adducts in vitro have been identified. The last two decades have brought ethenobases to light as potentially important DNA lesions in carcinogenesis. More research is needed to better understand the environmental and genetic factors that affect the formation and persistence of ethenobases in vivo.

Abstract
Etheno adducts in DNA arise from multiple endogenous and exogenous sources. Of these adducts we have reported that, 1,N6-ethenoadenine (epsilonA) and 3,N4-ethenocytosine (epsilonC) are removed from DNA by two separate DNA glycosylases. We later confirmed these results by using a gene knockout mouse lacking alkylpurine-DNA-N-glycosylase, which excises epsilonA. The present work is directed toward identifying and purifying the human glycosylase activity releasing epsilonC. HeLa cells were subjected to multiple steps of column chromatography, including two epsilonC-DNA affinity columns, which resulted in >1,000-fold purification. Isolation and renaturation of the protein from SDS/polyacrylamide gel showed that the epsilonC activity resides in a 55-kDa polypeptide. This apparent molecular mass is approximately the same as reported for the human G/T mismatch thymine-DNA glycosylase. This latter activity copurified to the final column step and was present in the isolated protein band having epsilonC-DNA glycosylase activity. In addition, oligonucleotides containing epsilonC.G or G/T(U), could compete for epsilonC protein binding, further indicating that the epsilonC-DNA glycosylase is specific for both types of substrates in recognition. The same substrate specificity for epsilonC also was observed in a recombinant G/T mismatch DNA glycosylase from the thermophilic bacterium, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum THF.

Abstract
The facts that reduction of occupational vinyl chloride exposures to levels within or below the 0.5-5 ppm range has so far been successful in eliminating vinyl chloride-induced liver angiosarcoma and that humans appear to be less sensitive to the carcinogenic effect of vinyl chloride than rats offered an opportunity to verify or dispute risk assessment extrapolation models used, and proposed, by the U.S. EPA. Safe occupational vinyl chloride exposures were defined as levels associated with an incidence of one angiosarcoma in 100,000 exposed workers, determined from rat bioassay data using default no-threshold (linearized multistage model and benchmark dose approach with linear extrapolation) and threshold (NOEL/LOEL and benchmark dose uncertainty factor approaches) models, and then compared against the likely protective range of 0.5-5 ppm. Safe levels derived using either no-threshold model are equivalent and are two to three orders of magnitude below the 0.5-5 ppm range. Safe levels derived using either threshold model, when applying uncertainty factors which reflect equal or less sensitivity in humans compared to rats, fall within the 0.5-5 ppm range. Similar results were obtained for vinyl bromide and vinyl fluoride. These results undermine the U.S. EPA default assumption of no-threshold for vinyl halides as well as for other DNA-reactive carcinogens while simultaneously supporting the notion that a practical threshold exists. They further suggest that when threshold models are appropriate, the default assumption of greater sensitivity in humans compared to rats should be carefully evaluated.

Abstract
DNA sequence changes induced in the vermilion gene of Drosophila following in vivo treatment of postmeiotic male germ cells with vinyl carbamate (VCA), an etheno-adduct-forming carcinogen, are primarily deletions. With VCA, 65% (13/20) of the vermilion mutants isolated from crosses of NER+ (nucleotide excision repair) males with NER+ females and 40% (6/15) obtained from matings with NER- females were intra- or multi-locus deletions. Due to the insufficiently low mutagenic activity in NER+ genotypes of vinyl bromide (VB), another epsilon-adduct-forming carcinogen, vermilion mutants could only be isolated from crosses of VB-treated males with NER- females. Of 14 vermilion mutants induced by VB, three carried large deletions. Twenty-two of 23 base substitutions derived from either VCA or VB experiments fell into one of the four categories expected from epsilon-adducts: three vermilion mutants had GC-->AT transitions, five had AT-->GC transitions, 7 carried GC-->TA transversions, and 7 were AT-->TA transversions. In view of the similarities in the response of mouse and Drosophila germ lines to several classes of alkylating agents, a high incidence of deletions is predicted to occur as well in postmeiotic germ cells of mice exposed to these types of agents.

Abstract
DNA adducts have been investigated extensively during the past decade. This research has been advanced, in part, by the development of ultrasensitive analytical methods, such as 32P-postlabeling and mass spectrometry, that enable detection of DNA adducts at concentrations as low as one adduct per 10(9) to 10(10) normal nucleotides. Studies of mutations in activated oncogenes such as ras, inactivated tumor suppressor genes such as p53, and surrogate genes such as hprt provide linkage between DNA adducts and carcinogenesis. The measurement of DNA adducts, or molecular dosimetry, has important applications for cancer risk assessment. Cancer risk assessment currently involves estimating the probable effects of carcinogens in humans based on results of animal bioassays. Estimates of risk are then derived from mathematical models that fit data of tumor incidence at the high animal exposures and extrapolate to probable human exposures that may be orders of magnitude lower. Molecular dosimetry could extend the observable range of mechanistic data several orders of magnitude lower than can be achieved in carcinogenesis bioassays. This measurement also compensates automatically for individual and species differences in toxicokinetic factors, as well as any nonlinearities that affect the quantitative relationships between exposure and molecular dose. As a result, molecular dosimetry can provide a basis for conducting high- to low-dose, route-to-route, and interspecies extrapolations. The incorporation of such data into risk assessment promises to reduce uncertainties and produce more accurate estimates of risk compared to current methods.

Abstract
A major public health concern is the degree to which environmental or occupational exposures to exogenous chemicals result in adverse health effects. Biological markers have the potential for helping to answer this important question by providing links between markers of exposures and markers of early stages of the development of disease. However, that potential requires in-depth, mechanistic research to be fully realized. Biological markers of exposure have been extensively investigated, and mathematical models of the toxicokinetics of agents have been developed to relate exposures to internal doses. The field of clinical medicine has long used clinical signs and symptoms to detect disease. However, the critical area of research needed to improve the application of biomarkers to environmental health research is mechanistic research to link dose to critical tissues to the development of early, pre-clinical signs of developing disease. Only if the mechanism of disease induction is known can one determine the 'biologically effective' dose and the earliest biological changes leading to disease.

Abstract
The human carcinogen vinyl chloride is metabolized in the liver to reactive intermediates which form N2,3-ethenoguanine in DNA. N2,3-Ethenoguanine is known to cause G----A transitions during DNA replication in Escherichia coli, and its formation may be a carcinogenic event in higher organisms. To investigate the repair of N2,3-ethenoguanine, we have prepared an N2,3-etheno[14C]guanine-containing DNA substrate by nick-translating DNA with [14C]dGTP and modifying the product with chloroacetaldehyde. E. coli 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase II, purified from cells which carry the plasmid pYN1000, releases N2,3-ethenoguanine from chloroacetaldehyde-modified DNA in a protein- and time-dependent manner. This finding widens the known substrate specificity of glycosylase II to include a modified base which may be associated with the carcinogenic process. Similar enzymatic activity in eukaryotic cell might protect them from exposure to metabolites of vinyl chloride.

Abstract
DNA adduct formation, route of absorption, metabolism and chemistry of 12 hazardous chemicals are reviewed. Methods for adduct detection are also reviewed and approaches to sensitivity and specificity are identified. The selection of these 12 chemicals from the Environmental Protection Agency list of genotoxic chemicals was based on the availability of information and on the availability of populations potentially suitable for molecular epidemiological study. The 12 chemicals include ethylene oxide, styrene, vinyl chloride, epichlorohydrin, propylene oxide, 4,4'-methylenebis-2-chloroaniline, benzidine, benzidine dyes (Direct Blue 6, Direct Black 38 and Direct Brown 95), acrylonitrile and benzyl chloride. While some of these chemicals (styrene and benzyl chloride, possibly Direct Blue 6) give rise to unique DNA adducts, others do not. Potentially confounding factors include mixed exposures in the work place, as well the formation of common DNA adducts. Additional research needs are identified.

Abstract
Vinyl chloride is a known human and rodent carcinogen that forms several cyclic base derivatives in DNA. The mutagenic potential of these derivatives has been examined in vitro but not in vivo. One of these derivatives, N2,3-ethenoguanine (epsilon G), is known to base pair with both cytosine and thymine during in vitro DNA synthesis, which would result in G----A transitions. To determine the base pairing specificity of this labile guanine derivative in Escherichia coli, we have developed a genetic reversion assay for guanine derivatives. The assay utilizes DNA polymerase-mediated analogue insertion into a bacteriophage vector, M13G*1, which detects all single-base substitutions at position 141 of the lacZ alpha gene by change in plaque color. After the insertion of a single epsilon G opposite the template cytosine at position 141 by use of epsilon dGTP and DNA polymerase and further extension with all four normal dNTPs, the DNA was transfected into E. coli. Transfection of M13G*1 containing epsilon G at the target site yielded 135 mutants among 26,500 plaques, 134 of which represented G----A transitions. The uncorrected mutation frequency was 0.5%, as compared with the control value, approximately 0.02%; when corrected for epsilon G content and penetrance, the calculated mutagenic potential of epsilon G (mutations/analogue) was about 13%. We thus conclude that epsilon G specifically induces G----A transitions during DNA replication in E. coli. The M13G*1 assay may permit the testing of other labile guanine derivatives not otherwise amenable to mutagenesis studies.

Abstract
Negative superhelical strain induces the poly(dG)-poly(dC) sequence to adopt two totally different types of triple-helices, either a dG.dG.dC triplex in the presence of Mg(+)+ at both neutral and acidic pHs or a protonated dC+.dG.dC triplex in the absence of Mg(+)+ ions at acidic pH (1). To examine whether there are still other types of non-B DNA structures formed by the same sequence, we constructed supercoiled plasmid DNAs harboring varying lengths of the poly(dG) tract, and the structures adopted by each supercoiled plasmid DNA were studied with a chemical probe, chloroacetaldehyde. The potential of a poly(dG)-poly(dC) sequence to adopt non-B DNA structures depends critically on the length of the tract. Furthermore, in the presence of Mg(+)+ and at a mildly acidic pH, in addition to the expected dG.dG.dC triplex detected for the poly(dG) tracts of 14 to 30 base pairs (bp), new structures were also detected for the tracts longer than 35 bp. The structure formed by a poly(dG) tract of 45 bp revealed chemical reaction patterns consistent with a dG.dG.dC triplex and protonated dC+.dG.dC triple-helices fused together. This structure lacks single-stranded stretches typical of intramolecular triplexes.

Abstract
Two-dimensional proton NMR studies are reported on the complementary d(C-A-T-G-T-G-T-A-C).d(G-T-A-C-epsilon A-C-A-T-G) nonanucleotide duplex (designated epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex) containing 1,N6-ethenodeoxyadenosine (epsilon dA), a carcinogen-DNA adduct, positioned opposite thymidine in the center of the helix. Our NMR studies have focused on the conformation of the epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex at neutral pH with emphasis on defining the alignment at the dT5.epsilon dA14 lesion site. The through-space NOE distance connectivities establish that both dT5 and epsilon dA14 adopt anti glycosidic torsion angles, are directed into the interior of the helix, and stack with flanking Watson-Crick dG4.dC15 and dG6.dC13 pairs. Furthermore, the d(G4-T5-G6).d(C13-epsilon A14-C15) trinucleotide segment centered about the dT5.epsilon dA14 lesion site adopts a right-handed helical conformation in solution. Energy minimization computations were undertaken starting from six different alignments of dT5(anti) and epsilon dA14(anti) at the lesion site and were guided by distance constraints defined by lower and upper bounds estimated from NOESY data sets on the epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex. Two families of energy-minimized structures were identified with the dT5 displaced toward either the flanking dG4.dC15 or the dG6.dC13 base pair. These structures can be differentiated on the basis of the observed NOEs from the imino proton of dT5 to the imino proton of dG4 but not dG6 and to the amino protons of dC15 but not dC13 that were not included in the constraints data set used in energy minimization. Our NMR data are consistent with a nonplanar alignment of epsilon dA14(anti) and dT5(anti) with dT5 displaced toward the flanking dG4.dC15 base pair within the d(G4-T5-G6).d(C13-epsilon A14-C15) segment of the epsilon dA.dT 9-mer duplex.

Abstract
Cellular extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the isolation of etheno adducts from nucleotide pools formed in vivo following exposure to the chemical carcinogen ethyl carbamate. These techniques were employed to detect etheno adduct formation using BDF1 mice and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) as test species following inter-peritoneal injection of the chemical. Ethenoadenine was detected in splenocyte nucleotide pools of mice after acute (24 h) exposure and chronic (two weeks) exposure. Several etheno adducts (i.e. ethenoadenine, etheno-AMP, etheno-ADP and etheno-ATP) were also detected in total spleen cell nucleotide pools of trout following acute ethyl carbamate exposure.

Abstract
Using published data, the carcinogenic potency (TD50) in rodents of a series of monofunctional alkylating agents, bifunctional antitumor drugs and the vinyl chloride (VC) metabolites chloroethylene oxide (CEO) and chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) was compared to their nucleophilic selectivity (Swain and Scott's constant s or initial ratio of 7-/O6-alkylguanine in DNA). A positive correlation between the log of TD50 estimates and the s values for a series of 14, mostly monofunctional, alkylating agents was observed. This linear relationship also included 2 bifunctional chloroethylnitrosoureas, although their carcinogenic potency was compared to their initial 7-/O6-alkylguanine ratio rather than their s values (n = 16, r = 0.91, p less than 0.005). In addition, the carcinogenic potency of 2 alkyl sulfates, which is not yet known accurately, may correlate with their nucleophilic selectivity through the same relationship. By contrast, 2 methyl halides and 5 bifunctional antitumor drugs (nitrogen mustards and azyridinyl derivatives) did not follow this linear relationship: at similar nucleophilic selectivity, they were more potent carcinogens than the above 18 alkylating agents; this may hold true for CEO and CAA too, although further carcinogenicity experiments are needed to calculate their precise TD50 values. The possible molecular mechanisms involved in tumor induction by these agents are discussed on the basis of these findings. Comparison of the estimated TD50 for CEO, CAA and VC in rodents confirms that CEO is the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of VC and suggests that only a very small proportion of metabolically generated CEO is available for DNA alkylation in vivo.

Abstract
Cyclic DNA adducts bearing an "etheno" structure have been described to occur after interaction with metabolites of halogenated olefins. Extensive work has been published on adducts of vinyl chloride, both in vitro and in vivo. The major DNA adduct of vinyl chloride is 7-(2-oxoethyl)guanine, but an important minor adduct appears to be N2,3-ethenoguanine. Other etheno adducts, i.e., 1, N6-ethenoadenine and 3, N4-ethenocytosine, are readily formed with DNA, vinyl chloride, and a metabolizing system in vitro and with RNA in vivo, but usually are not detected as DNA adducts in vivo. Other compounds that have been studied with respect to possible formation of etheno DNA adducts are vinyl bromide (which is more or less completely analogous to vinyl chloride), acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate and vinyl carbamate. Proposals of possible structures of DNA adducts with an etheno structure have been promutagenic potential of these lesions which may lead to misincorporation of wrong DNA bases in newly synthesized DNA.
