GENETIC TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS 2024; 896:503755. [PMID: 38821674 DOI: 10.1016/j.mrgentox.2024.503755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Environmental exposure would cause DNA damage and epigenetic modification changes, potentially resulting in physiological dysfunction, thereby triggering diseases and even cancer. DNA damage and epigenetic modifications are thus promising biomarkers for environmental exposures and disease states. Benefiting from its high sensitivity and accuracy, high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) is considered the "gold standard technique" for investigating epigenetic DNA modifications. This review summarizes the recent advancements of UHPLC-MS/MS-based technologies for DNA damage and epigenetic modifications analysis, mainly focusing on the innovative methods developed for UHPLC-MS/MS-related pretreatment technologies containing efficient genomic DNA digestion and effective removal of the inorganic salt matrix, and the new strategies for improving detection sensitivity of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Moreover, we also summarized the novel hyphenated techniques of the advanced UHPLC-MS/MS coupled with other separation and analysis methods for the measurement of DNA damage and epigenetic modification changes in special regions and fragments of chromosomes.

Abstract
Breast Cancer (BC) was the most common female cancer in incidence and mortality worldwide in 2020. Similarly, BC was the top female cancer in the USA in 2022. Risk factors include earlier age at menarche, oral contraceptive use, hormone replacement therapy, high body mass index, and mutations in BRCA1/2 genes, among others. BC is classified into Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-like, and Basal-like subtypes. These BC subtypes present differences in gene expression signatures, which can impact clinical behavior, treatment response, aggressiveness, metastasis, and survival of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the epigenetic molecular mechanism of transcriptional regulation in BC, such as DNA demethylation. Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) enzymes catalyze the oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) on DNA, which in turn inhibits or promotes the gene expression. Interestingly, the expression of TET enzymes as well as the levels of the 5hmC epigenetic mark are altered in several types of human cancers, including BC. Several studies have demonstrated that TET enzymes and 5hmC play a key role in the regulation of gene expression in BC, directly (dependent or independent of DNA de-methylation) or indirectly (via interaction with other proteins such as transcription factors). In this review, we describe our recent understanding of the regulatory and physiological function of the TET enzymes, as well as their potential role as biomarkers in BC biology.

Abstract
5-carboxycytosine (5caC) plays a critical role as an intermediate form in DNA methylation and demethylation processes. Its distribution and quantity significantly influence the dynamic equilibrium of these processes, thereby impacting the normal physiological activities of organisms. However, the analysis of 5caC presents a significant challenge due to its low abundance in the genome, making it almost undetectable in most tissues. In response to this challenge, we propose a selective method for 5caC detection using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at glassy carbon electrode (GCE), hinging on probe labeling. The probe molecule Biotin LC-Hydrazide was introduced into the target base and the labeled DNA was immobilized onto the electrode surface with the help of T4 polynucleotide kinase (T4 PNK). Leveraging the precise and efficient recognition of streptavidin and biotin, streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (SA-HRP) on the surface of the electrode catalyzed a redox reaction involving hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide, resulting in an amplified current signal. This procedure allowed us to quantitatively detect 5caC based on variations in current signals. This method demonstrated good linearity ranging from 0.01 to 100 nM with a detection limit as low as 7.9 pM. We have successfully applied it to evaluate the 5caC levels in complex biological samples. The probe labeling contributes to a high selectivity for 5caC detection, while the sulfhydryl modification via T4 PNK efficiently circumvents the limitation of specific sequences. Encouragingly, no reports have been made about electrochemical methods for detecting 5caC in DNA, suggesting that our method offers a promising alternative for 5caC detection in clinical samples.

Abstract
![]()
5-Carboxycytosine
(5caC) is a rare epigenetic modification found
in nucleic acids of all domains of life. Despite its sparse genomic
abundance, 5caC is presumed to play essential regulatory roles in
transcription, maintenance and base-excision processes in DNA. In
this work, we utilize nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
to address the effects of 5caC incorporation into canonical DNA strands
at multiple pH and temperature conditions. Our results demonstrate
that 5caC has a pH-dependent global destabilizing and a base-pair
mobility enhancing local impact on dsDNA, albeit without any detectable
influence on the ground-state B-DNA structure. Measurement of hybridization
thermodynamics and kinetics of 5caC-bearing DNA duplexes highlighted
how acidic environment (pH 5.8 and 4.7) destabilizes the double-stranded
structure by ∼10–20 kJ mol–1 at 37
°C when compared to the same sample at neutral pH. Protonation
of 5caC results in a lower activation energy for the dissociation
process and a higher barrier for annealing. Studies on conformational
exchange on the microsecond time scale regime revealed a sharply localized
base-pair motion involving exclusively the modified site and its immediate
surroundings. By direct comparison with canonical and 5-formylcytosine
(5fC)-edited strands, we were able to address the impact of the two
most oxidized naturally occurring cytosine derivatives in the genome.
These insights on 5caC’s subtle sensitivity to acidic pH contribute
to the long-standing questions of its capacity as a substrate in base
excision repair processes and its purpose as an independent, stable
epigenetic mark.

Abstract
Epigenetics involves a series of mechanisms that entail histone and DNA covalent modifications and non-coding RNAs, and that collectively contribute to programing cell functions and differentiation. Epigenetic anomalies and DNA mutations are co-drivers of cellular dysfunctions, including carcinogenesis. Alterations of the epigenetic system occur in cancers whether the initial carcinogenic events are from genotoxic (GTxC) or non-genotoxic (NGTxC) carcinogens. NGTxC are not inherently DNA reactive, they do not have a unifying mode of action and as yet there are no regulatory test guidelines addressing mechanisms of NGTxC. To fil this gap, the Test Guideline Programme of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development is developing a framework for an integrated approach for the testing and assessment (IATA) of NGTxC and is considering assays that address key events of cancer hallmarks. Here, with the intent of better understanding the applicability of epigenetic assays in chemical carcinogenicity assessment, we focus on DNA methylation and histone modifications and review: (1) epigenetic mechanisms contributing to carcinogenesis, (2) epigenetic mechanisms altered following exposure to arsenic, nickel, or phenobarbital in order to identify common carcinogen-specific mechanisms, (3) characteristics of a series of epigenetic assay types, and (4) epigenetic assay validation needs in the context of chemical hazard assessment. As a key component of numerous NGTxC mechanisms of action, epigenetic assays included in IATA assay combinations can contribute to improved chemical carcinogen identification for the better protection of public health.

Abstract
Apart from the four canonical nucleobases, DNA molecules carry a number of natural modifications. Substantial evidence shows that DNA modifications can regulate diverse biological processes. Dynamic and reversible modifications of DNA are critical for cell differentiation and development. Dysregulation of DNA modifications is closely related to many human diseases. The research of DNA modifications is a rapidly expanding area and has been significantly stimulated by the innovations of analytical methods. With the recent advances in methods and techniques, a series of new DNA modifications have been discovered in the genomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Deciphering the biological roles of DNA modifications depends on the sensitive detection, accurate quantification, and genome-wide mapping of modifications in genomic DNA. This review provides an overview of the recent advances in analytical methods and techniques for both the quantification and genome-wide mapping of natural DNA modifications. We discuss the principles, advantages, and limitations of these developed methods. It is anticipated that new methods and techniques will resolve the current challenges in this burgeoning research field and expedite the elucidation of the functions of DNA modifications.

Abstract
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an extremely invalidating, cureless, developmental disorder, and it is considered one of the leading causes of intellectual disability in female individuals. The vast majority of RTT cases are caused by de novo mutations in the X-linked Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene, which encodes a multifunctional reader of methylated DNA. MeCP2 is a master epigenetic modulator of gene expression, with a role in the organization of global chromatin architecture. Based on its interaction with multiple molecular partners and the diverse epigenetic scenario, MeCP2 triggers several downstream mechanisms, also influencing the epigenetic context, and thus leading to transcriptional activation or repression. In this frame, it is conceivable that defects in such a multifaceted factor as MeCP2 lead to large-scale alterations of the epigenome, ranging from an unbalanced deposition of epigenetic modifications to a transcriptional alteration of both protein-coding and non-coding genes, with critical consequences on multiple downstream biological processes. In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge concerning the transcriptomic and epigenomic alterations found in RTT patients and animal models.

Abstract
The inclusion of preliminary chemical labeling (derivatization) in the analysis process by such powerful and widespread methods as electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is a popular and widely used methodological approach. This is due to the need to remove some fundamental limitations inherent in these powerful analytic methods. Although a number of special reviews has been published discussing the utilization of derivatization approaches, the purpose of the present critical review is to comprehensively summarize, characterize and evaluate most of the previously developed and practically applied, as well as recently proposed representative derivatization reagents for ESI-MS and MALDI-MS platforms in their mostly sensitive positive ion mode and frequently hyphenated with separation techniques. The review is focused on the use of preliminary chemical labeling to facilitate the detection, identification, structure elucidation, quantification, profiling or MS imaging of compounds within complex matrices. Two main derivatization approaches, namely the introduction of permanent charge-fixed or highly proton affinitive residues into analytes are critically evaluated. In situ charge-generation, charge-switch and charge-transfer derivatizations are considered separately. The potential of using reactive matrices in MALDI-MS and chemical labeling in MS-based omics sciences is given.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the impact of three different standard reference particulate matter (ERM-CZ100, SRM-1649, and SRM-2975) on epigenetic DNA modifications including cytosine methylation, cytosine hydroxymethylation, and adenine methylation. For the determination of low levels of adenine methylation, we developed and applied a novel DNA nucleobase chemical derivatization and combined it with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The developed method was applied for the analysis of epigenetic modifications in monocytic THP-1 cells exposed to the three different reference particulate matter for 24 h and 48 h. The mass fraction of epigenetic active elements As, Cd, and Cr was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The exposure to fine dust ERM-CZ100 and urban dust SRM-1649 decreased cytosine methylation after 24 h exposure, whereas all 3 p.m. increased cytosine hydoxymethylation following 24 h exposure, and the epigenetic effects induced by SRM-1649 and diesel SRM-2975 were persistent up to 48 h exposure. The road tunnel dust ERM-CZ100 significantly increased adenine methylation following the shorter exposure time. Two-dimensional scatters analysis between different epigenetic DNA modifications were used to depict a significantly negative correlation between cytosine methylation and cytosine hydroxymethylation supporting their possible functional relationship. Metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons differently shapes epigenetic DNA modifications.

Combined 5-hydroxymethylcytosine content of human leucocyte antigen-B and human leucocyte antigen-DQB1 as novel biomarker for anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol 2020; 127:234-240. [PMID: 32180347 DOI: 10.1111/bcpt.13401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 02/25/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
This study investigated the diagnostic value of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) contents of human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-B and HLA-DQB1 in anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ADLI). In total, 110 ADLI patients and 120 patients without ADLI controls were enrolled. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the 5-mC and 5-hmC content in DNA from peripheral blood leucocytes. The univariate analysis showed that smoking, drinking, and 5-mC and 5-hmC content of HLA-B and HLA-DQB1 were significantly associated with ADLI. After adjusting for drinking and smoking, we found that 5-mC content of HLA-B and HLA-DQB1 were associated with ADLI (odds ratio [OR] = 0.251 and 0.347, respectively) and 5-hmC contents of HLA-B and HLA-DQB1 were also associated with ADLI (OR = 1.848 and 4.705, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that the 5-hmC contents of both HLA-B and HLA-DQB1 were more clinically significant than the 5-mC contents were. The combined 5-hmC level of HLA-B and HLA-DQB1 was the best diagnostic biomarker for ADLI, with the highest areas under the curve (AUC) for 0.953, sensitivity for 0.900 and specificity for 0.875. Therefore, combined 5-hmC levels of HLA-B and HLA-DQB1 could be significant evidence for diagnosis of ADLI.

Abstract
Methylation of the fifth carbon atom in cytosine is an epigenetic modification of deoxyribonucleic acid that plays important roles in numerous cellular processes and disease pathogenesis. Three additional states of cytosine, that is, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine, have been identified and associated with the diagnosis and/or prognosis of diseases. However, accurate measurement of those intermediates is a challenge since their global levels are relatively low. A number of innovative methods have been developed to detect and quantify these compounds in biological samples, such as blood, tissue and urine, etc. This review focuses on recent advancement in detection and quantification of four cytosine modifications, based on which, the development, diagnosis, and prognosis of diseases could be monitored through non-invasive procedures.

A novel malic acid-enhanced method for the analysis of 5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine, 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine, 5-methylcytidine and 5-hydroxymethylcytidine in human urine using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Anal Chim Acta 2018; 1034:110-118. [PMID: 30193624 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2018.06.081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2018] [Revised: 06/29/2018] [Accepted: 06/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5-mdC), 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5-hmdC), 5-methylcytidine (5-mrC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytidine (5-hmrC) are epigenetic marks of DNA and RNA, and aberrant levels of these modified nucleosides were found to be associated with various cancers. Urine is a preferred source of biological fluid for biomarker discovery because the sample collection process is not invasive to patients. Herein, we developed a novel malic acid-enhanced hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) method for sensitive and simultaneous quantification of the modified cytosine nucleosides in human urine. Malic acid markedly increased the detection sensitivities of all four cytosine nucleosides, with the limits of detection (LODs) for 5-mdC, 5-hmdC, 5-mrC and 5-hmrC being 0.025, 0.025, 0.025 and 0.050 fmol, respectively. By using this method, we demonstrated, for the first time, the presence of 5-hmrC in human urine, and we successfully quantified 5-mdC, 5-hmdC, 5-mrC and 5-hmrC in urine samples collected from 90 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and 90 healthy controls. We found that the levels of 5-mdC, 5-hmdC, 5-mrC and 5-hmrC in urine were all substantially decreased in CRC patients, suggesting that these modified nucleosides might have great potential to be noninvasive biomarkers for early detection and prognosis of CRC. Together, we established a novel and sensitive method for detecting 5-methylated and 5-hydroxymethylated cytosine nucleosides in human urine and the results from this study may stimulate future investigations about the regulatory roles of these cytosine derivatives in the initiation and development of CRC.
