Abstract
Chronic exposure to arsenic, most often through contaminated drinking water, has been linked to several types of cancer in humans, including skin and lung cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying its role in causing cancer are not well understood. There is evidence that exposure to arsenic can enhance the carcinogenicity of UV light in inducing skin cancers and may enhance the carcinogenicity of tobacco smoke in inducing lung cancers. The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway removes different types of DNA damage including those produced by UV light and components of tobacco smoke. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sodium arsenite on the NER pathway in human lung fibroblasts (IMR-90 cells) and primary mouse keratinocytes. To measure NER, we employed a slot-blot assay to quantify the introduction and removal of UV light-induced 6-4 photoproducts (6-4 PP) and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). We find a concentration-dependent inhibition of the removal of 6-4 PPs and CPDs in both cell types treated with arsenite. Treatment of both cell types with arsenite resulted in a significant reduction in the abundance of XPC, a protein that is critical for DNA damage recognition in NER. The abundance of RNA expressed from several key NER genes was also significantly reduced by treatment of IMR-90 cells with arsenite. Finally, treatment of IMR-90 cells with MG-132 abrogated the reduction in XPC protein, suggesting an involvement of the proteasome in the reduction of XPC protein produced by treatment of cells with arsenic. The inhibition of NER by arsenic may reflect one mechanism underlying the role of arsenic exposure in enhancing cigarette smoke-induced lung carcinogenesis and UV light-induced skin cancer, and it may provide some insights into the emergence of arsenic trioxide as a chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract
Exposure to tobacco smoke is the number one risk factor for lung cancer. Although the DNA damaging properties of tobacco smoke have been well documented, relatively few studies have examined its effect on DNA repair pathways. This is especially true for the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway which recognizes and removes many structurally diverse DNA lesions, including those introduced by chemical carcinogens present in tobacco smoke. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of tobacco smoke on NER in human lung cells. We studied the effect of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC), a surrogate for tobacco smoke, on the NER pathway in two different human lung cell lines; IMR-90 lung fibroblasts and BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells. To measure NER, we employed a slot-blot assay to quantify the introduction and removal of UV light-induced 6–4 photoproducts and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. We find a dose-dependent inhibition of 6–4 photoproduct repair in both cell lines treated with CSC. Additionally, the impact of CSC on the abundance of various NER proteins and their respective RNAs was investigated. The abundance of XPC protein, which is required for functional NER, is significantly reduced by treatment with CSC while the abundance of XPA protein, also required for NER, is unaffected. Both XPC and XPA RNA levels are modestly reduced by CSC treatment. Finally, treatment of cells with MG-132 abrogates the reduction in the abundance of XPC protein produced by treatment with CSC, suggesting that CSC enhances proteasome-dependent turnover of the protein that is mediated by ubiquitination. Together, these findings indicate that tobacco smoke can inhibit the same DNA repair pathway that is also essential for the removal of some of the carcinogenic DNA damage introduced by smoke itself, increasing the DNA damage burden of cells exposed to tobacco smoke.

Abstract
In this chapter, we describe a gene-specific quantitative PCR (QPCR)-based assay for the measurement of DNA damage, using amplification of long DNA targets. This assay has been used extensively to measure the integrity of both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes exposed to different genotoxins and has proven to be particularly valuable in identifying reactive oxygen species-mediated mitochondrial DNA damage. QPCR can be used to quantify both the formation of DNA damage as well as the kinetics of damage removal. One of the main strengths of the assay is that it permits monitoring the integrity of mtDNA directly from total cellular DNA without the need for isolating mitochondria or a separate step of mitochondrial DNA purification. Here we discuss advantages and limitations of using QPCR to assay DNA damage in mammalian cells. In addition, we give a detailed protocol of the QPCR assay that helps facilitate its successful deployment in any molecular biology laboratory.

Abstract
2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is carcinogenic in multiple organs and numerous species. Bioactivation of PhIP is initiated by PhIP N(2)-hydroxylation catalysed by cytochrome P450s. Following N-hydroxylation, O-acetylation catalysed by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is considered a further possible activation pathway. Genetic polymorphisms in NAT2 may modify cancer risk following exposure. Nucleotide excision repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with human cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) and a single copy of either NAT2*4 (rapid acetylator) or NAT2*5B (slow acetylator) alleles were used to test the effect of CYP1A1 and NAT2 polymorphism on PhIP genotoxicity. Cells transfected with NAT2*4 had significantly higher levels of N-hydroxy-PhIP O-acetyltransferase (p = 0.0150) activity than cells transfected with NAT2*5B. Following PhIP treatment, CHO cell lines transfected with CYP1A1, CYP1A1/NAT2*4 and CYP1A1/NAT2*5B each showed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) mutagenesis not observed in untransfected CHO cells. dG-C8-PhIP was the primary DNA adduct formed and levels were dose dependent in transfected CHO cells in the order: CYP1A1 < CYP1A1 and NAT2*5B < CYP1A1 and NAT2*4, although levels did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) following one-way analysis of variance. These results strongly support activation of PhIP by CYP1A1 with little effect of human NAT2 genetic polymorphism on mutagenesis and DNA damage.

Abstract
This unit describes the gene-specific quantitative PCR-based (QPCR) assay, which is used to measure DNA integrity of both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes based on amplification of long DNA targets. QPCR can be used to quantify the formation of DNA damage and the kinetics of DNA repair by following restoration of amplification of the target DNA over time after removal of the damaging agent. A detailed protocol to set up QPCR in any laboratory, highlighting critical parameters for successful establishment of the assay and interpretation of the results, is provided here. Advantages (e.g., the use of nanogram amounts of DNA) and limitations (e.g., the inability to define the specific type of lesion present on the DNA) of using QPCR to assay DNA damage in human cells are also described.

Abstract
Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DBP) is the most potent tumor initiating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon tested to date in rodent tumor models. To investigate how DBP adduct formation and removal might influence carcinogenesis, we have examined the effects of treatment of several nucleotide excision repair (NER)-proficient (NER(+)) and -deficient (NER(-)) cell lines with the carcinogenic metabolite (+/-)-anti-DBP-11,12-diol-13,14-epoxide (DBPDE). The treatment of NER(-) cells with (+/-)-anti-DBPDE for 0.5, 1, or 2 h yielded similar total adduct levels, indicating that adduct formation was essentially complete during a 2 h treatment period with no additional adducts produced after replacement of media. In all cell lines, treatment with (+/-)-anti-DBPDE generated five major and at least two minor adducts that were chromatographically identical to those formed by direct treatment of 3'-GMP and 3'-AMP with (+/-)-anti-DBPDE. When adduct levels were assessed in NER(-) cells, the number of adducts/10(9) nucleotides decreased over time, suggesting that DNA replication was ongoing, so we incorporated a normalization strategy based on DNA synthesis. This strategy indicated that DBPDE-DNA adduct levels in NER(-) cells are stable over time. After normalization for DNA synthesis in the NER(+) cells, our data indicated that three adducts showed biphasic repair kinetics. A faster rate of removal was observed during the first 6 h following DBPDE removal followed by a slower rate for up to 34 h. Importantly, two of the major guanine adducts were particularly refractory to removal in the NER(+) cells. Our results suggest that the extreme carcinogenicity of DBPDE may result from the ability of a substantial percentage of two structurally distinct DBPDE-DNA adducts to escape repair.

Abstract
We previously found that 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (oh(8)dG) kills KG-1, a human myelocytic leukemic cell line with mutational loss of 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1) activity in vitro. This observation prompted us to investigate the cytotoxicity of oh(8)dG on KG-1 in vivo. This cytotoxicity was observed by administrating oh(8)dG (3.3-330mg/kgb.w./day) for 14 days into nude mice bearing a KG-1 myelosarcoma. The results were as follows; oh(8)dG inhibited the growth of KG-1 myelosarcoma dose-dependently in terms of tumor size and weight, but had no effect on the growth of myelosarcoma of U937, a human monocytic leukemic cell line possessing wild-type OGG1. 6-Thioguanine (6-TG), an anticancer drug inhibited the growths of KG-1 and U937 tumors. 2'-Deoxyguanosine (dG) had a statistically insignificant anti-growth effect on both tumors. The oh(8)dG-treated KG-1 tumor showed the increased expression of apoptosis-processing caspases 8, 9 and 3 together with DNA fragmentation, the increased expression of cell cycle inhibitors, p16 and p27, and the decreased expression of cell cycle accelerator, cyclins and cdks, indicating the nature of cytotoxicity is cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The genomic DNA of oh(8)dG-treated KG-1 tumors showed an increase in OGG1 sensitive sites, which is consistent with an increase in the 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (oh(8)Gua) level in the DNA of KG-1 treated with oh(8)dG in vitro. Presumably an increased level of oh(8)Gua in DNA may trigger the cytotoxicity. These findings suggest that oh(8)dG is selectively cytotoxic to KG-1 or tumors that are OGG1-deficient.

Abstract
Functional effects of Arg228Gln and Val2343Leu XPA polymorphisms on benzo[a]pyrene-r-7,t-8-dihydrodiol-t-9,10-epoxide-(+/-)-anti (BPDE) survival and repair were investigated in SV40 immortalized XP12RO cells complemented with wild type and polymorphic XPA cDNAs in an inducible cDNA expression system. In contrast to previous studies showing little impact of XPA polymorphisms on UV survival and repair, cells complemented with polymorphic XPAs displayed improved BPDE survival and repair as compared to wild type XPA-complemented cells. Survival after BPDE treatment was measured using AlamarBlue reduction and colony forming ability. Cells expressing low levels of either polymorphic XPA had equivalent or improved survival compared to wild type XPA-complemented cells (XPAwt cells). XPA induction improved BPDE survival in Arg228Gln (R228Q cells) and Val234Leu (V234L cells) complemented cells, but not XPAwt cells. BPDE-induced DNA damage repair was measured both by reactivation after transfection of a luciferase reporter plasmid reacted with BPDE in vitro, and by removal of adducts from genomic DNA of BPDE-treated cells. BPDE-induced DNA damage repair in R228Q and V234L cells expressing XPA at very low levels was similar to repair in XPAwt cells expressing XPA at normal levels. XPA induction improved repair in R228Q and V234L cells but not in XPAwt cells. Our findings suggest that both Arg228Gln and Val234Leu XPAs function better than wild type XPA for BPDE adduct removal. These observations differ from UV repair results suggesting that the differences are lesion specific. The location of the polymorphisms within the putative poly(ADP-ribose) binding domain suggests that poly(ADP-ribose) interaction is important in repair.

Abstract
The highly reactive and mutagenic benzo[a]pyrene metabolite, (+)-7R,8S-dihydroxy-9S,10R-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE), forms predominantly N2-deoxyguanine DNA adducts in two stereoisomeric configurations (cis and trans). In previous in vitro assays using oligonucleotide substrates site specifically modified with cis- and trans-BPDE adducts, the nucleotide excision repair (NER) systems of eukaryotes and prokaryotes incise cis-BPDE adducts more efficiently than trans-BPDE adducts [Hess, et al. (1997) Mol. Cell Biol 17, 7069; Zou, et al. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 2923). We investigated the influence of DNA secondary structure on stereospecificity of BPDE adduct formation, and incision of BPDE adducts by the prokaryotic UvrABC NER endonuclease was examined. BPDE adducts formed at low density on supercoiled plasmids were incised 6-7-fold better by the thermoresistant Bacillus caldotenaxUvrABC than were BPDE adducts formed on linear DNA. Linearizing supercoiled plasmid DNAs after BPDE adduct formation did not diminish incision efficiency. These results suggested that configuration and/or conformation of adducts formed on linear and supercoiled DNAs differed. This hypothesis was confirmed by low temperature fluorescence spectroscopy of adducted supercoiled and linear DNAs. Spectroscopic results indicated that intercalated cis-BPDE adducts as well as base-stacked trans-BPDE adducts formed more abundantly in supercoiled DNA than in linear DNA. A higher cis to trans adduct ratio in supercoiled DNA was confirmed by high resolution [32P]postlabeling analyses. These results demonstrate that DNA secondary structure influences both configuration and conformation of BPDE adducts formed at low density (approximately 1 adduct/kbp) and suggests that the ratio of cis- to trans-BPDE adducts and amount of base-stacked trans adducts formed under physiological exposure conditions may be higher than inferred from high dose experiments.

Abstract
We examined ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and cisplatin treatment damage formation and repair efficiency in the p53 tumor suppressor gene of various cultured cell lines and lymphocytes using a nonradioactive multiplex long quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) assay, which amplified a 7-kb fragment of the target gene and a 500-bp fragment of the template control to successfully increase the sensitivity and reliability of the assay. The multiplex long QPCR detected a lesion frequency of 0.63 lesions/10kb/10J/m(2) in the p53 gene of fibroblast cells. In addition, the multiplex long QPCR assay detected pronounced differences in the repair of UV damage in the p53 gene among repair-proficient CRL-1475 cells and repair-deficient XP-A and XP-C cells. The multiplex long QPCR assay was also evaluated as a sensitive assay for the detection of DNA damage induced by cisplatin. The data indicated that the lesion frequency in the p53 gene was 1.27-1.75 times higher in the H23 cisplatin-sensitive cell than in the H1435 cisplatin-resistant cell at the IC(70) dose. After 8-h and 24-h repair periods, only 13 and 75% of cisplatin-induced damage had been removed in the H23 cells, whereas these values were 92 and 100% in the H1435 cells. In addition, our data indicate that multiplex long QPCR is a sensitive method for validly estimating repair in freshly isolated lymphocytes. The results suggest that the current protocol of the multiplex long QPCR method can be used to assess the damage formation and repair efficiency of various agents at biologically relevant doses and to allow a more precise determination of gene-specific repair in disease susceptibility and drug resistance in epidemiological studies.

Abstract
To study the status of oxidative DNA damage in Helicobacter pylori infection in more detail, we examined oxidative DNA damage to individual genes by determining the loss of PCR product of a targeted gene before and after gastric mucosal DNA was treated with 8-hydroxyguanine glycosylase, which cleaves DNA at the 8-hydroxyguanine residues. The results showed that, of the 5 genes tested, p53, insulin-like growth factor II receptor and transforming growth factor-beta receptor type II showed significant oxidative DNA damage in H. pylori-positive tissues and that the BAX and beta-ACTIN genes were relatively undamaged. These results suggest that in H. pylori infection, oxidative DNA damage does not occur homogeneously throughout the genomic DNA but, rather, in a gene-specific manner. We conclude that the progressive accumulation of preferential oxidative DNA damage in certain genes, such as p53, likely contributes to gastric carcinogenesis.
