Abstract: | Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a product of lipid peroxidation and prostaglandin
biosynthesis. It is mutagenic and carcinogenic and the major adduct formed
by reaction with DNA, a highly fluorescent pyrimidopurinone (M1-dG), has
been detected in healthy human liver and leukocyte DNA. Analytical methods
used so far for the detection of M1- dG have not been applied to a large
number of individuals or variety of samples. Often, only a few microg of
DNA from human tissues are available for analysis and a very sensitive
assay is needed in order to detect background levels of M1-dG in very small
amounts of DNA. In this paper, the development of an immunoslot blot (ISB)
assay for the measurement of MI-dG in 1 microg of DNA is described. The
limit of detection of the assay is 2.5 adducts per 10(8) bases. A series of
human samples were analysed and levels of 5.6-9.5 (n = 8) and 3.1-64.3 (n =
42) of M1-dG per 10(8) normal bases were detected in white blood cell and
gastric biopsy DNA, respectively. Results on four human samples were
compared with those obtained using an HPLC/32P-post- labelling (HPLC/PPL)
method previously developed and indicated a high correlation between M1-dG
levels measured by the two assays. The advantages of ISB over other assays
including HPLC/PPL, such as the possibility of analysing 1 microg
DNA/sample and the fact that it is less time-consuming and laborious, means
that it can be more easily used for routine analysis of a large number of
samples in biomonitoring studies.
