title: HPLC separation of 32P-postlabelled DNA adducts formed from dibenz[a,h]anthracene in skin.
abstract: Mouse skin and human skin have been treated in vivo or in short-term organ culture with dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DB[a,h]A), the related 3,4- or 5,6-diols or the anti- or syn-3,4-diol 1,2-oxides. DNA hydrolysates have been 32P-postlabelled and the adducts present examined by HPLC using a phenyl-modified reverse phase column and, for comparison, by PEI-cellulose TLC and autoradiography. The adducts formed when the diol-epoxides were reacted with salmon sperm DNA were also examined. The results show that in mouse skin treated in vivo, the major adducts formed from DB[a,h]A and the 3,4-diol were the same and that two of them were more polar than those formed in skin or in DNA that had been treated with the related anti- or syn-diol epoxides. Human skin treated with DB[a,h]A in culture yielded an adduct profile that was qualitatively similar to the profiles obtained with mouse skin.
