Mapping DNA adducts of mitomycin C and decarbamoyl mitomycin C in cell lines using liquid chromatography/ electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: The antitumor antibiotic and cancer chemotherapeutic agent mitomycin C (MC) alkylates and crosslinks DNA, forming six major MC-deoxyguanosine adducts of known structures in vitro and in vivo. Two of these adducts are derived from 2,7-diaminomitosene (2,7-DAM), a nontoxic reductive metabolite of MC formed in cells in situ. Several methods have been used for the analysis of MC-DNA adducts in the past; however, a need exists for a safer, more comprehensive and direct assay of the six-adduct complex. Development of an assay, based on mass spectrometry, is described. DNA from EMT6 mouse mammary tumor cells, Fanconi Anemia-A fibroblasts, normal human fibroblasts, and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was isolated after MC or 10-decarbamoyl mitomycin C (DMC) treatment of the cells, digested to nucleosides, and submitted to liquid chromatography electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry. Two fragments of each parent ion were monitored ("multiple reaction monitoring"). Identification and quantitative analysis were based on a standard mixture of six adducts, the preparation of which is described here in detail. The lower limit of detection of adducts is estimated as 0.25 pmol. Three initial applications of this method are reported as follows: (i) differential kinetics of adduct repair in EMT6 cells, (ii) analysis of adducts in MC- or DMC-treated Fanconi Anemia cells, and (iii) comparison of the adducts generated by treatment of MCF-7 breast cancer cells with MC and DMC. Notable results are the following: Repair removal of the DNA interstrand cross-link and of the two adducts of 2,7-DAM is relatively slow; both MC and DMC generate DNA interstrand cross-links in human fibroblasts, Fanconi Anemia-A fibroblasts, and MCF-7 cells as well as EMT6 cells; and DMC shows a stereochemical preference of linkage to the guanine-2-amino group opposite from that of MC.

Project description:The tobacco-specific nitrosamines N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN, 1) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK, 2) are potent carcinogens in rodents. Bioactivation of NNN and NNK by cytochrome P450 enzymes generates a pyridyloxobutylating agent 6, which alkylates DNA to produce pyridyloxobutyl (POB)-DNA adducts. POB-DNA adduct formation plays a critical role in NNN and NNK carcinogenicity in rodents. To further investigate the significance of this pathway, we developed a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method for quantitative analysis of four POB-DNA adducts with known structures. The corresponding deuterated analogues were synthesized and used as internal standards. DNA samples, spiked with internal standards, were subjected to neutral thermal hydrolysis followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. The hydrolysates were partially purified by solid phase extraction prior to HPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis. The method was accurate and precise. Excellent sensitivity was achieved, especially for O2-[4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]thymidine (O2-POB-dThd, 11) with a detection limit of 100 amol per mg DNA. DNA samples treated with different concentrations of 4-(acetoxymethylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNKOAc, 3) were subjected to HPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis. 7-[4-(3-Pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]guanine (7-POB-Gua, 12) was the most abundant adduct, followed by O6-[4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]-2'-deoxyguanosine (O6-POB-dGuo, 8), O2-POB-dThd, and O2-[4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobut-1-yl]cytosine (O2-POB-Cyt, 13). Lung and liver DNA isolated from NNK-treated rats were analyzed. Consistent with the in vitro data, 7-POB-Gua was the major POB-DNA adduct formed in vivo. However, levels of O6-POB-dGuo were the lowest of the four adducts analyzed, suggesting efficient repair of this adduct in vivo. In contrast to the other three adducts, O6-POB-dGuo was more abundant in lung than in liver. O2-POB-dThd appeared to be poorly repaired in vivo, and its levels were comparable to those of 7-POB-Gua. The results of this study provide a sensitive HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method for comprehensive quantitation of four POB-DNA adducts, support an important role of O6-POB-dGuo in NNK lung tumorigenicity in rats, and suggest that O2-POB-dThd may be a useful tobacco-specific DNA biomarker for future tobacco carcinogenesis studies.
