| 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine(8-oxo-dGuo) is an important pro-mutagenic DNA lesion resulting from oxidative damage. However, accurate quantification of 8-oxo-dGuo is difficult because artifactual formation occurs during the isolation and hydrolysis of DNA from cells and tissue samples. To avoid this problem, a cold guanidine thiocyanate non-phenolic method was used to extract DNA from cells. In addition, Desferal was used in Chelex-treated buffers to remove transition metal ions and prevent artifactual 8-oxo-dGuo formation through Fenton Chemistry Immunoaffinity purification removed interfering substances that co-eluted with 8-oxo-dGuo during subsequent chromatography and stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring/mass spectrometry (LC-MRM/MS) provided maximal specificity and sensitivity. Human bronchoalveolar cells were treated with potassium bromate, methyl methane sulfonate and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites in order to induce 8-oxo-dGuo formation. A linear dose response curve to potassium bromate was observed by LC-MRM/MS and there was an excellent correlation with the Comet assay when coupled to hOGG1.
