Site-specific synthesis of oligonucleotides containing malondialdehyde adducts of deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine via a postsynthetic modification strategy.

ABSTRACT: Malondialdehyde (MDA) and its reactive equivalent, base propenal, are products of oxidative damage to lipids and DNA, respectively; they are mutagenic in bacterial and mammalian systems, and MDA is carcinogenic in rats. MDA adducts of deoxyguanosine (M1dG), deoxyadenosine (OPdA), and deoxycytidine (OPdC) have been characterized. We have developed site-specific syntheses of M1dG and OPdA adducted oligonucleotides that rely on a postsynthetic modification strategy. This work provides an alternative route to the M1dG adducted oligonucleotide and, to date, the only viable strategy for the site-specific synthesis of OPdA-modified oligonucleotides. The stability of the modified oligonucleotides was examined by UV thermal melting studies (Tm). In contrast to the M1dG adduct, OPdA caused very little change in the Tm.

Project description:1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane (DEB) is a carcinogenic metabolite of 1,3-butadiene (BD), an important industrial and environmental chemical present in urban air and in cigarette smoke. DEB is considered the ultimate carcinogenic species of BD because of its potent genotoxicity and mutagenicity attributed to its ability to form DNA-DNA cross-links and exocyclic nucleoside adducts. Mutagenesis studies suggest that DEB adducts formed at adenine bases may be critically important, as it induces large numbers of A ? T transversions. We have recently identified three types of exocyclic DEB-dA lesions: N?,N?-(2,3-dihydroxybutan-1,4-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (N?,N?-DHB-dA), 1,N?-(2-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylpropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (1,N?-?-HMHP-dA), and 1,N?-(1-hydroxymethyl-2-hydroxypropan-1,3-diyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine (1,N?-?-HMHP-dA) [Seneviratne, U., et al. (2010) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 23, 118-133]. In the work presented here, a postsynthetic methodology for preparing DNA oligomers containing stereospecific and site-specific N?,N?-DHB-dA and 1,N?-?-HMHP-dA adducts was developed. DNA oligomers containing site-specific 6-chloropurine were coupled with optically pure 1-amino-2-hydroxy-3,4-epoxybutanes to generate oligomers containing N?-(2-hydroxy-3,4-epoxybut-1-yl)-2'-deoxyadenosine adducts, followed by their spontaneous cyclization to 1,N?-?-HMHP-dA lesions. N?,N?-DHB-dA containing strands were prepared analogously by coupling 6-chloropurine containing DNA with (3S,4S)- or (3R,4R)-pyrrolidine-3,4-diols. Oligodeoxynucleotide structures were confirmed by ESI-MS, exonuclease ladder sequencing, and HPLC-MS/MS of enzymatic digests. UV melting and CD spectroscopy studies of DNA duplexes containing N?,N?-DHB-dA and 1,N?-?-HMHP-dA revealed that both lesions lower the thermodynamic stability of DNA. Interestingly, structurally modified DNA duplexes were more thermodynamically stable when an adenine residue was placed opposite 1,N?-?-HMHP-dA instead of thymine, suggesting that these adducts may preferentially pair with dA.

Project description:We were the first to demonstrate that direct application of the environmental pollutant and tobacco smoke constituent dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) into the oral cavity of mice induced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in oral tissues but not in the tongue; however, the mechanisms that can account for the varied carcinogenicity remain to be determined. Furthermore, we also showed that not only dA adducts, but also dG adducts can account for the mutagenic activity of DB[a,l]P in the oral tissues in vivo. In this study, we initially focused on DB[a,l]P-induced genotoxic effects in both oral and tongue tissues. Therefore, to fully assess the contribution of these DNA adducts in the initiation stage of carcinogenesis induced by DB[a,l]P, an LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously detect and quantify DB[a,l]PDE-dG and -dA adducts was developed. Mice were orally administered with DB[a,l]P (24 nmole, 3 times per week for 5 weeks) or its fjord region diol epoxide, (±)-anti-11,12-dihydroxy-13,14-epoxy-11,12,13,14-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]PDE, 12 nmole, single application); animals were sacrificed at 2, 7, 14, and 28 days after the last dose of carcinogen administration. Oral and tongue tissues were obtained and DNA were isolated followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. Following the development of an isotope dilution LC-MS/MS method, we successfully detected (-)-anti-cis- and (-)-anti-trans-DB[a,l]PDE-N(2)-dG, as well as (-)-anti-cis- and (-)-anti-trans-DB[a,l]PDE-N(6)-dA in oral and tongue tissues of mice treated with DB[a,l]P. Levels of (-)-anti-trans-DB[a,l]PDE-N(6)-dA were ≥2 folds higher than (-)-anti-cis-DB[a,l]PDE-N(6)-dA adduct and those of dG adducts in the oral tissues and tongue at all time points selected after the cessation of DB[a,l]P treatment. Levels of dG adducts were comparable in both tissues. Collectively, our results support that DB[a,l]P is predominantly metabolized to (-)-anti-DB[a,l]PDE, and the levels and persistence of (-)-anti-trans-DB[a,l]PDE-N(6)-dA may, in part, explain the carcinogenicity of DB[a,l]P in the oral tissues but not in the tongue.
