Evidence of oligonucleotides containing 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in human urine.

The product of oxidative damage to DNA, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), when detected in urine, is considered to be a global, noninvasive biomarker of in vivo oxidative DNA damage. In this paper we describe a novel approach to confirm the presence of oligonucleotides containing 8-OHdG in human urine. Fractions of urine were prepared by gel-filtration chromatography, and the presence of oligonucleotides was confirmed by ELISA using a monoclonal anti-(single-stranded DNA) antibody. Pools of urine fractions were subsequently prepared according to ELISA reactivity, each containing oligonucleotides with a known range of base numbers. The level of 8-OHdG in each pool was subsequently determined using a commercial ELISA kit. Results confirmed that oligonucleotides containing 8-OHdG are present in urine and, most significantly, oligomers of <30-55 bases were found to be associated with 8-OHdG. This finding strongly supports the involvement of nucleotide excision repair (NER) in the removal of 8-OHdG from the cell. The novel approach adopted in this study was validated using cell culture supernatant obtained from an in vitro model comprising CCRF cells exposed to vitamin C; this model has previously been shown to stimulate removal of 8-OHdG from the cell by an NER-dependent process.
