Abstract:
:Tamoxifen, a widely used nonsteroidal antiestrogen in the treatment of breast cancer, forms several metabolites. 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHTam), a metabolite found in the bloodstream, has much higher affinity for the estrogen receptor than tamoxifen itself. Oxidative activation of 4-OHTam induces DNA damage. DNA isolated from HL-60 cells exposed to 10 microM 4-OHTam in the presence of 1 microM hydrogen peroxide was digested enzymatically to release both normal and modified nucleosides. The modified nucleosides were enriched by butanol extraction. Using UV detection, HPLC analysis of the butanol extract from 200 microg DNA digest detected approximately 4 4-OHTam-dG adducts per 10(7) nucleotides (n = 3). Online postcolumn UV irradiation in HPLC and fluorescence detection improved the detection sensitivity by 3 x 10(2) times. Using 4-OHTam as an example, this report demonstrated for the first time the power of the technique to assay tamoxifen-DNA adducts directly in the DNA digest without relying on postlabeling.
