Synthesis and characterization of oligonucleotides containing a nitrogen mustard formamidopyrimidine monoadduct of deoxyguanosine.

ABSTRACT: N(5)-Substituted formamidopyrimidine adducts have been observed from the reaction of dGuo or DNA with aziridine containing electrophiles, including nitrogen mustards. However, the role of substituted Fapy-dGuo adducts in the biological response to nitrogen mustards and related species has not been extensively explored. We have developed chemistry for the site-specific synthesis of oligonucleotides containing an N(5)-nitrogen mustard Fapy-dGuo using the phosphoramidite approach. The lesion was found to be a good substrate for Escherichia coli endonuclease IV and formamidopyrimidine glycosylase.

Project description:A robust, quantitative ultraperformance liquid chromatography ion trap multistage scanning mass spectrometric (UPLC/MS(3)) method was established to characterize and measure five guanine adducts formed by reaction of the chemotherapeutic nitrogen mustard (NM) bis(2-chloroethyl)ethylamine with calf thymus (CT) DNA. In addition to the known N7-guanine (NM-G) adduct and its cross-link (G-NM-G), the ring-opened formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) monoadduct (NM-FapyG) and cross-links in which one (FapyG-NM-G) or both (FapyG-NM-FapyG) guanines underwent ring-opening to FapyG units were identified. Authentic standards of all adducts were synthesized and characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry. These adducts were quantified in CT DNA treated with NM (1 ?M) as their deglycosylated bases. A two-stage neutral thermal hydrolysis was developed to mitigate the artifactual formation of ring-opened FapyG adducts involving hydrolysis of the cationic adduct at 37 °C, followed by hydrolysis of the FapyG adducts at 95 °C. The limit of quantification values ranged between 0.3 and 1.6 adducts per 10(7) DNA bases when the equivalent of 5 ?g of DNA hydrolysate was assayed on column. The principal adduct formed was the G-NM-G cross-link, followed by the NM-G monoadduct; the FapyG-NM-G cross-link adduct; and the FapyG-NM-FapyG was below the limit of detection. The NM-FapyG adducts were formed in CT DNA at a level ?20% that of the NM-G adduct. NM-FapyG has not been previously quanitified, and the FapyG-NM-G and FapyG-NM-FapyG adducts have not been previously characterized. Our validated analytical method was then applied to measure DNA adduct formation in the MDA-MB-231 mammary tumor cell line exposed to NM (100 ?M) for 24 h. The major adduct formed was NM-G (970 adducts per 10(7) bases), followed by G-NM-G (240 adducts per 10(7) bases), NM-FapyG (180 adducts per 10(7) bases), and, last, the FapyG-NM-G cross-link adduct (6.0 adducts per 10(7) bases). These lesions are expected to contribute to NM-mediated toxicity and genotoxicity in vivo.

Project description: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.
