| The development of strategies designed to detect inter-tissue variations in susceptibility to DNA damage may advance our understanding of the role of DNA adducts in cancer etiology and as biomarkers to exposure. An LC/ESI-MS/MS DNA adduct detection method designed to detect the neutral loss of 2'-deoxyribose from positively ionized 2'-deoxynucleoside adducts transmitting the [M + H]+ > [M + H – 116]+ transition over a total of 374 transitions was applied to analyze esophageal, and peripherally- and centrally-located lung tissue DNA taken from the same individual. The final analysis indicated that the largest adducts were distributed similarly across the samples (84% to 90% similarity; n = 50) but also revealed that there were large differences in the relative amounts of some adducts detected in both lung and esophagus tissue DNA. Adduct identity confirmation by comparison with authentic adduct standards was also performed where possible. The potential of the method is discussed. |
