Abstract
In order to study the relative importance of endogenous and environmental factors for the individual relation between DNA damage and DNA excision repair, a method was developed for measuring quantitatively the persistence of N 2-deoxyguanosine adducts formed in non-stimulated isolated human peripheral blood lymphocytes after in vitro incubation with 0.2. μM (±)anti-BPDE, applying 32P-postlabeling. Total binding of radiolabeled (±)anti-BPDE to DNA and its removal has been studied previously in human peripheral blood peripheral blood lymphocytes, but the method presented here enables the direct investigation of repair of the main (±)anti-BPDE-DNA adduct, which is implicated in benzo[ a]pyrene-induced mutagenesis. Using this method, it was found that in lymphocytes, obtained from 5 individuals, most (±)anti-BPDE-N 2-dG adducts are removed within the first 24 h after treatment, while interindividual differences appear to exist in both adduct formation and rate and extent of removal.
